I almost made another tea tonight, but I am sure glad that I didn’t! I haven’t had Vanilla Comoro in awhile which I think is why it tastes so incredibly delicious tonight. Sweet, smooth vanilla and caramel all backed by a briskly malty black tea base and to think this is decaf! Just. So. Good.

Finishing a cup myself…so good indeed.

I needed something bracing today so naturally I reached for the most bracing tea in my cupboard at the moment. I only steeped this for about 3 minutes today which reveals a strong yet smooth tea that is perfect for this morning. Now, if only this tea will inspire me to be somewhat productive today…

Okay, I definitely should know by now that caffeine this late at night is not the best idea ever…but I wanted an Earl Grey Supreme latte!! As I drink this tea, all I can think of is smooth, bright, and rich. Definitely worth any insomnia tonight!

This is a smooth, crisp Ceylon with a rich flavor that holds up well to milk and sugar. Pretty generic tasting Ceylon, but that could just be because I don’t drink enough Ceylon to be able to distinguish between varieties. The aftertaste is quite strong also. Overall, a decent tea that is quite enjoyable tonight.

I cold brewed this tea for about 24 hours and I really, really like this tea prepared this way! Taken without additions, this tea is earthy, smooth, and has a natural sweetness from the honey flavoring. This is a very easy to drink iced tea and I think this tea may be cold-brewed for the remainder of the tin. Delicious and perfect!

Ooh…I have a tin! Will try icing some down tomorrow.

Just finished a cold brew pitcher of this myself. So good, so floral when cold brewed.

Mmmm….so, so delicious and perfect for a movie night with my husband. I’m almost out of my bag and my husband loves this tea so much that HE came up with the idea to order more soon.

I was SO tired last night that I set this tea to steep, promptly forgot about it and left it steeping all night while I went to bed. I awoke this morning to a very fragrant cup of Spiced Pear tea. Not wanting this delicious tea to go to waste I decided to go ahead and try it. Surprisingly it doesn’t taste overdone or bitter. The cinnamon is quite strong but it also backed up by a sweet, refreshing pear. I wouldn’t purposely recreate this pot of tea, but I think I’ll make it through the cup.

You could just add lots of extra water to salvage it as well.

A shorter steep time today is resulting in a much more floral taste. I love this tea! I have been craving it quite a bit lately since it is so luxurious and relaxing. A nice, smooth tea that definitely fills my chocolate cravings.

I think I’ve finally figured out how to best prepare this tea for myself. I brewed up a pot at slightly under boiling water for only 3:30 minutes. I then added a bit of honey and half and half. I’m loving it this way! The tea base shines and all the different tea types blend wonderfully. I can’t really pick out one from another which I’ve found rare in many tea blends. The honey note is floral and delicious. I think this is definitely the way I will continue preparing this tea.

Perfectly roasty, tangy, and full of dark chocolate notes. I think I actually prefer the second infusion better than the first. Definitely a tea to try at least once!!

Bio

Formally known as mrawlins2

I am a former coffee drinker turned tea lover.

Black tea is probably my favorite type of tea, but I rather enjoy most types… I’m even developing a taste for pu-erh.

Rating Scale:
0-10: This tea is either flavorless or just plain undrinkable. I will avoid these teas in the future.

11-20: I was only able to make it through a few sips before pouring the tea out.

21-30: I may have been able to make it through the first cup but the thought of having another has me cringing.

31-40: Teas in this range are not horrible, but nothing I would seek out in the future.

41-60: Would drink if offered, but would not purchase for myself.

61-70: Okay, nothing special

71-80: Enjoyable, but I have to be in the mood for these. Probably would purchase if I found a really great price.

81-90: Pretty good tea, will probably be one of my favorites.

91-95: These teas are really excellent. I wouldn’t necessarily run out and buy more of these (just because there are so many teas out there that I haven’t tried), but I would miss this tea.

96-99: Terrific, very impressive.

100: This special rating is reserved for teas that are absolutely perfect in my opinion. I will only give out a rating of 100 to one tea per category (Earl Grey, unflavored black, dessert tea, Irish Breakfast, etc). These are teas that I really want to have around.

Perfect Teas so Far:

Earl Grey: Saint Isaac’s Blend (Russian Earl Grey) from Upton

Dessert Tea: Marco Polo from Mariage Freres

Unflavored Black: Emperor’s Red from Premium Steap
