377 Tasting Notes

Saw this at Walmart and my wife said if she can get the White Peach Mango I can get this one. I love my wife but I’m pretty sure I made the better choice. For two dollars a box you seriously can’t do much better. Smooth caramel vanilla or is it vanilla caramel taste? I don’t think either is overtly stronger than the other. A very good desert post dinner tea.

Lipton’s series of pyramid-bag teas is pretty uniformly good.

I have had Black Pearl and it was pretty good. I haven’t tried the others yet.

@gmathis I completely agree. @ashmanra Black Pearl is tasty as well as the Bavarian Berry and Blueberry Pomegranate White. White Peach and Mandarin Green just do not taste right to me.

drank Lapsang Souchong by Twinings
377 tasting notes

I have seen that Twinings offers a bagged Lapsang but have never been able to find it in a store…..until now. Picked up a box when I went to grab lunch. Nice Aroma. A little more subdued than Dr. Teas Lapsang, but that comes with bagged vs loose leaf. The tea is smooth and has a nice smoke to tea ratio. If that makes sense. I told one of my buddies at work that I would share tea with him sometime so I shared this one. He gave me the thumbs up. I really like this one.

drank Pu-Erh Tea by Golden Dragon

Brought the can with me to work because the stash is getting low at the office. I gotta say this is one of the best bangs for my buck teawise. A good daily Pu-Erh.

I have had this bagged as one the craving tea lines. I decided to buy this with a gift card that one of my dearest friends gave me as a wedding gift. I open up the bag and the aroma is heavenly. I have a bad sweet tooth when it comes to caramel. I get home from a gig Saturday night and try it out. It’s so good! It’s gotta be one my new favs. I tried half of this and half of the Imperial Pu-Erh in a french press…yes indeed quite a treat!

I am getting very curious about Dr. Tea!

The DJBooth

I support you in this curiosity. When I started my loose leaf journey I stumbled upon their website in search of Tea knowledge. I found a series of web video that go over the basics of tea. I love the Dr.‘s positiveness in drinking tea. I put in an order and I’ve found all the teas to be very high quality.

good to know – thanks! :)

drank JavaVana Mate by Teavana

Yeah doing morning news instead my normal afternoon shift….this had to happen! The bummer….once again I have cashed my stash. I might have to go back for more or maybe explore the Mate Vana :)

IllBeMother221B

The Mate Vana is really good too. The JavaVana is not for me and I have a LOT of it. If you want it it’s yours! Let me know.

ssajami

Matevana is amazing. I think more chocolate and less coffee.

The DJBooth

@wifey woman I would love it.

IllBeMother221B

Message me your address and I will send it out to you asap (meaning Wednesday next week) container and all. :)

So running out the door this morning I had what I call a teabrain lightbulb(Despicable Me) Throw this in my strainer mug with a little Ti Kuan Yin….The result. I am ready for fall! All I needed was a little whip cream and my oh my I would have thought I just finished Thanksgiving dinner. This is such a great herbal!

drank MateVana by Teavana

Grabbed a cup today at the mall to try it. I like it. Very similar to my morning mate minus the black tea in it. I think this is one to add to the collection.

drank Focus by Tazo
377 tasting notes

Found a box on vacation in Florida for 25 cents at a yard sale…first win! I was intrigued at the list of ingredients including the Mate and the rosemary. I could not taste much cocoa in this tea as I could a mix of the citrus and rosemary. Overall it’s a good tea. Not teagasm good but this is one I would buy and have on hand at work. I like the fact that it has the Mate in it. My wife’s aunt does not drink coffee so it’s nice to have this on hand as a sub. I definitely like this tea better than a lot of the selections you can find at a Starbucks location.

gmathis

Tazo for a quarter—what a break! This has been on my short list to try for ages. Anything that even hints it could tame my ADD sounds appealing :)

I have had to brew this one a few times before reviewing it. At first it seemed harsh to me…but after tasting it a few times i really like this tea. If i were to rename this tea i would call it Fireside breakfast or camp breakfast. It very much reminds me of english breakfast with lapsang in it. I dont know how the Osmanthus flowers affect the tea but i think this one is very good.

gmathis

Smoky flowers…hmm…wonder if it tones down the lapsangy flavor.

Picked this up at the Hartville Kitchen. I have never seen this brand before…or had tried a tea with carob in it. I have heard that carob has a chocolate like property to it. I must say that it really does and this tea is quite delish, as well as decaf.
