125 Tasting Notes

A general, decaffeinated black tea. Nothing too distinctive, just decaf black tea. Nicely balanced strength, not too sharp like a breakfast tea. It does steep dark very quickly.

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 0 min, 30 sec 16 OZ / 473 ML

drank Jasmine Green Tea by Twinings
125 tasting notes

Very nice green tea with Jasmine flavors.
Medium-dark for a green tea, and not very “vegetal” tasting like some green teas. Jasmine is light and noticeable but not overpowering.
Generally I drink black teas about 5:1 to green teas, but I like this one.

Preparation
3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I am not a jasmine fan, but I was gifted this tea and it’s ok for me. Mild enough jasmine that I don’t feel like I’m drinking flowers.

drank Camomile & Lemongrass by Ahmad Tea
125 tasting notes

I have never had chamomile tea before, so it’s quite a different taste. Definitely herbal, sort of rounded, earthy, smooth.
Not bad, but so different from everything else I’ve had it will take some time to get used to.

Chamomile is usually improved by additives. Apple’s my favorite.

To me, sharp, yes lemon and Ginger, but I don’t like the combination. I like ginger beer, and lemonade. But for this tea, not a good combination.
