66 Tasting Notes

I’m clinging onto my morning cup as though it’s the only thing keeping me in the room. It taste like liquid magic. Too bad I ate my scone while I waited for the water kettle to boil… It would have tasted so good together.

It does taste so good together :).

drank Wuyi by Puripan

Having my “mellowing out” cup. This wuyi has a great roasted flavor and a nutty scent. I am loving every sip of it.

I bought a 7oz tin of their loose leaf after my fellow Steepster told me H&S was giving out free shipping. It’s so good… definitely perks up my morning. :)

What other teas did you order from Harney’s?

Anna Vu

The Paris tea & a tin of their Wedding tea that I got for a friend for her marriage. Paris was too fruity for my taste but I’m loving my Earl Grey.

ScottTeaMan

I’ve bought the wedding tea too…for a friend, but never tried it.

drank Earl Grey by DAVIDsTEA

The second time I brewed it wasn’t any better … there is a slight bitter taste with this Earl Grey that would most likely be okay if I had some milk to cover it up … but I don’t. Thus, I’m sipping some bitter Earl Grey with displeasure… :(

ScottTeaMan

Wow, you really like your Earl Grey’s…….well, most of them. Maybe it would make a decent iced tea :).

Anna Vu

Hopefully … normally I can salvage the tea with some soy milk but we don’t have a fridge in the office at the moment … I might have to bring it home with me so I can drink it there…

Trying this Earl Grey for the first time … I added too much tea and infused for too long so my first cup was a bit bitter. My second cup was a lot smoother and tasted a whole lot better than the first cup. I need to try from the start another day to rate it…

I always have this debate between drinking the Wuyi or the Young Am. They both taste so good but it’s the smell of the Wuyi that always gets me picking it first.

For some reason, today’s steeping of this tea came out all so very weak. :( I wasn’t too happy with it. Sigh.

drank Ginger Peach by The Tao of Tea

This is my first time having a Ginger tea and the extra spice notes at the end of my sip is surprising. The tea is mellow but has a nice aroma and an interesting kick. Not bad.

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 5 min, 15 sec

I’m glad you enjoyed this Ginger. I still think you’d enjoy other Ginger teas (Yamamotoyama’s).

I got my Steepster Select shipment and this was a pleasant treat in my box. When I opened the bag, I was surprised how sweet and floral the tea smelled. I brewed per instruction of the Steepster package (2 minutes, 180 degrees) and it came out great. The tea is very mild, slightly sweet and has a very sweet, floral smell from it. It’s very easy to drink and I can’t wait to see how many steepings I can do with this tea.

You described my experience with this tea exactly. I enjoyed it as well.
