drank CHAI by Chinois d'Or
227 tasting notes

I’m in the mood for a yummy yummy tea. Lets go check if it will impress me like last time…
Its still awesome. Only thing i would change is licorice root. I don’t like licorice. I find it weirdly sweet. I’d take it out…
I can luckily just barely feel it in this tea so its still great.
Sooo tasty…

Oh and lol the ziploc bags that i ordered so i can send people samplers came in today. They are tiny hehe. I totally got it wrong. They can fit tea like just enough to make one cup – two tops. But i do have 500 of those now :D Oh well i’d be surprised if it wasn’t me.

I’m still waiting for my ziplock bags to arrive — and they need to soon for the Geek Pride contest! (I purchased around 300) :)

Its yellow. Quite bright. Smells very nice of orange peel and lemony.

It’s something that should go well with yerba mate’s freshness.
Quite strong on citrus thing.
I’d say its just OK…

My stomach is not on the roll this morning so im starting the day with Sweet dreams :D Just thinking Chamomile will probably help. Luckily is friday. I like to drink this tea just lightly sweetened. It’s very calming…

Looks clear orange – very pretty color.

Smells like rooibos with a hint of fruity in general.

Tastes… hot lol :D
Other than that its yummy again. I’m not very experienced in tropical fruits so can’t really distinguish but it tastes tropical and in a very nice way. Goes along perfect with rooibos. Nice one. I imagine it would be most likely even better cold. And some sugar would make it more like juice. Depends what I’m in the mood for.

This company doesn’t make bad teas, there are some very good tea blends. And being able to actually go look and smell at them in the store is def a plus…

Btw ‘Kuća zelenog čaja’ means ‘House of green tea’.

I went shopping. Got a huge load of teas that are traveling my way from the states and UK and I’m not buying more unless its on a travel or till I’m done drinking these. Which could take looooong time.
OK now that I’ve made my decision public (lol don’t make me want new ones pls) here it goes…

Smells amazing. As amazing as it gets…
Like good black tea + good booze + coffee/cocoa smell… mmmmm.
I even made some for my boss :)

OK i might have over-steeped it cuz i forgot to take it out while sharing my joy :D Lets see…
Tastes good :D Strong black tea with aftertaste that well tastes like Irish whiskey drinks. Its bit bitter cuz i over-steeped. But good. Wonder how you all would rate these teas – still feeling very n00bish while giving ratings. This one is staying at my workplace. Need it to wake me up…

EDIT Steeped it several times with adding just a bit of fresh leaves. It’s still good just milder. Like that too…

Don’t fear the ratings — you can always go to the “Tea Ratings” section of your info and adjust accordingly. I love that page because I can make the rating exactly what I feel it should be and it makes little changes over time easier :)

For some mysterious (yep even to me) reason I’ve decided to flop 6 popcorn’s in my steeping silver needle tea. Somehow thought that wouldn’t be so bad.
Salt might have helped with the acid feel. But this time it was bit bitter. Doubt it was cuz of the popcorn’s – water was more hot than usual and i suspect that’s the reason.
It tastes bit more greasy – popcorn’s duh :D
First i feel the strong over-steeped silver needle and later on i get a hint of popcorn taste. They get along rather good…

Wont rate this time but atm i think its not bad comparing to this silver needle alone.

EDIT (giggle) popcorn’s soaked in silver needle taste bad tho

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 8 min or more

Smells very nice again. Dry teabag mostly of raspberry, tea itself mostly of chamomile-rooibos.

Color is very nice orange.

Hope it tastes little less artificial than the last Aloe one.
Oh yea quite a yummy fruity/herbal blend. I like this one. Bit of sugar will make it even better. I can taste something bit accidy – guess that would be raspberry or those leaves. After that i get a hint of chamomile. All the time rooibos is slightly present. Not sure how honeybush and echinacea are supposed to taste so cant tell. Liquorice isnt strong as in Yogi teas – thats another plus. Acually cant taste it at all.

All together the mix is rather well harmonised. And it’s tasty. Thats all that matters in the end…

That sounds like quite an unusual blend, I don’t think I’ve come across one like it.

They obviously tend to make weird blends ;)

born with a bit of a restless, curious and exploring spirit ;) love to travel and i do it a lot lately. enjoy good food and drinks. love trying out new stuff. just about to start exploring the world of teas and i’m really enthusiastic about it ;)

EDIT 4 months later:
still a n00b here but starting to get it ;) i try to buy loose tea but i got a lot of teabags too cuz it’s easier to find here. from not liking black tea ended up love it. green can be quite good too but waiting for more real ones to try. whites are sometimes awesome, sometimes not, rooibos and fruity blends are a good replacement for juices… and so on… still excited about every new tea… loving it more every day :D

since my favorite hobby is photography i take photos whenever something is interesting. including my tea making process…
