drank Almond Oolong by Adagio Teas
14 tasting notes

I received a sample of this with my order. I’ve been trying to branch out and I’ve been wanting to get into oolongs for a while. This tea smells extremely sweet in the bag, and the sweetness smell only mellows out a little when brewed. This concerned me slightly since I’m not a huge fan of very sweet teas, but the sweetness is not unbearable. It’s sweeter than I’m used to, but I like the nuttiness so I’ll just have to get used to the sweetness. I’m not sure that I would drink this all the time, but it’s nice to have around for when I want something different. I drank one cup plain (steeped as the notes say) and left the rest brewing. I drank the second cup with a tiny bit of milk. The longer steep time seems to bring out the oolong base more, and the milk makes the almond flavor pop.

drank Tonks by Adagio Custom Blends

Very bright and invigorating. Smells only like grapefruit in the bag but brews more evenly. Sweet and Citrus are the primary flavors, but there is still depth to it. Definitely a great way to combat tiredness. I personally find it too sweet for a morning tea, so probably best as an afternoon/desert tea.

Flavors: Citrus, Fruity, Sweet

Boiling 4 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Very cozy and comforting and the spice is well balanced. It is a good tea that won’t distract from your book (or whatever else you need to be focused on). Great for people who want something enjoyable that doesn’t require conscious attention to enjoy fully/properly. Excellent for reading/studying.

left my tea to brew and forgot about until I was half way to the dmv. Poured and reheated it when I got home. Plus, I’m out of milk. Good thing I don’t mind my tea really dark and dry. It’s on the bitter side but not undrinkable.

drank Spearmint Lavender by HEB

Simple and fairly plain- this is my go to tea for anxiety and really awful nights of insomnia. Literally is just lavender flowers and spearmint leaves in a pyramid tea bag. It’s perfect. It’s calming and soothing, and comforting in an uplifting way.

Someone bought this for me because I was drinking the regular sleepytime every night to help me sleep and looking for something a little different. While the vanilla flavor definitely smooths out the herbal flavor of the sleepytime, which slightly disappoints me, I love this tea anyway. I drink it on particularly bad night because the added vanilla definitely helps me get to sleep.

Bio

Hello! I am new to the steepster community, but I’ve been drinking tea for over 10 years now.
When I first got into tea, I would only drink plain black teas- preferably Twinning’s- as strong as I could make them. It took quite a while for me to branch out and try some new things. Even then I stuck to plain green tea and one or two herbal teas. Although I’ve made a lot of progress, I’m still always looking for new things to try!
I am a first year teacher at the high school level.
