10 Tasting Notes

This tea is a lovely mid-range oolong with floral notes. It kept me contemplating the flavors throughout the entire pleasant cup. Long steep times are not a problem and I’m already looking forward to the next cup. Highly recommended.

A mediocre black tea, smooth with a hint of cinnamon. I don’t add sweetener to tea. The bag says to steep 1-2 minutes which is laughable. Seven minutes will get you to a drinkable if average cup.

Preparation
8 min or more

I love love love this herbal. Perfect balance of mint and vanilla and needs no sweetener. Just a very pleasant cup. Recommended.

An average very light Earl Grey. I wouldn’t seek this out.

This is a fantastic tea, which I did not expect. I received it as a gift and I find myself reaching for it regularly. A nice strong Earl Grey and the orange notes are great. A reviewer identified the blend as Adagio Earl Grey Bravo, and it looks like a dead ringer for it. I plan to seek this out once my tin is empty to refill it.

Honestly I drank this twice because I felt I must be missing something. The first aroma is odd and after that it’s a very average herbal. The lemon is overpowering and I can barely tell there’s ginger in it. The label says there’s also cinnamon and licorice but I can’t really detect those either. I might choose to drink this while sick – many seem to – but i can’t imagine choosing this otherwise.

This is a very inoffensive Oolong, and a very light one at that (the box even shows it to be not very strong by Twinings standards, showing two leaves). I can see how some people would find it offputting as the flavor leans green. I like my tea strong so after the first cup I used two bags, but it didn’t seem to make all that much difference. I’d give this an average score.

This is my favorite everyday green. It brews up very strong when you oversteep as I do, with pronounced, round grassy notes. Probably the best bagged green tea out there.

Nice tea with fresh grassy notes. Don’t oversteep as with all greens!
