377 Tasting Notes
I’m in agreement here not the best or worst Oolong I’ve had. Kinda reminds me of what you get at a Chinese restaurant. If you put a bad of the Oolong and Dynasty’s Hojicha together you almost get the same taste as Dr.Tea’s coffee tea for a fraction of the cost and can take it almost anywhere.
Hands down one of my favorite teas. The aroma is just out of this world!! You can smell hints of cocoa, vanilla and a little nuttiness too. I agree that it doesn’t taste like coffee nor will it kick my love of coffee :) I like how it gives you a good kick in the morning. On of my favorite ways to have this tea is half mate and half Dr. Tea’s Imperial Pu-Erh…..Dark, Smooth, and oh so delicious! Mix with the Pu-Erh you can get a couple good steepings before it taste like flavored hot water.
Preparation
When I saw that Teavana had a new batch of blends I decided it’s time to go in and look for Christmas gifts ;) I picked up some the Thai tea and all I can tell you is this tea is fabulous! The aroma is fantastic, the flavor is great too. The anise star is not overpowering. I threw a dash of almond milk in it and reminded me of a wonderful Christmas tea. Well done Teavana! Definitely one of my new favs!
Preparation
I bought a box of this obviously because it was very well priced. I am a coffee drinker so the fact that is strong a little bitter doesn’t bother so much. It is my first experience with an Irish breakfast tea. It’s not fabulous but not terrible either. It’s one that I would keep on hand for variety.
One of my favorite coffee shops in the area keeps this tea on hand. It’s quite tasty for a bagged tea. I think Harney & Sons have some of the best bagged teas I have tasted. A light aroma, pale liquor, a nice light grassy flavor. For an inexpensive high quality bagged sencha I would say this is a good option.
I haven’t read too many of your reviews, but you must be pretty hard on the teas you review (not a bad thing). “quite tasty”, “some of the best baged teas”, and “high quality” don’t seem worthy of a 57.
I love peppermint herbals and have for many years. I had this tea at Border’s in the sachets that Harney & Sons has in their Royal Palace line. I was meeting the woman who is going to be my wife for the first time. I was a little nervous and peppermint tisanes have always been good for me to calm my stomach and nerves. I guess this tea has a little sentimentality to it for me.
