I couldn’t sleep so I was organizing my teas that I just brought out of storage. This tea happened to be in the last bag of teas. I thought it might help me sleep. I used a lot of tea because I wanted a stronger cup. It has a nice earthy taste to it, although this is not at all like the earthy of ripe puerh.

I steeped this tea in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity steeper for 7 minutes with boiling water. I used 6 tsp leaf.

This tea is fairly tasty, considering the price and that it’s decaf. I’m getting a bit of a malty note but also a bit of a fruity note. This could become something I drink in the afternoons. It’s good for when I can’t have caffeine.

Steeped two teabags in a 16oz mug for 3 minutes with 200 degree water.

This is a nice tea in my opinion. However it is slightly bitter from the coffee beans. I also get a note that I would describe as roasted hazelnuts. It is overall pretty good if you can get past the bitterness from the coffee beans.

I brewed this one time in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and 200 degree water for four minutes.

There is some sweet note to this tea and some sour note to this tea, or should I say tart note. When I bought this I actually thought it was a black tea so I was surprised when I took a closer look and saw it was a caffeine free fruit infusion. It is fairly tasty. I am cold brewing this for tomorrow as an iced tea.

Getting a variety of flavors out of this one, mostly fruity flavors. It’s very mild tasting and smooth I guess because of the white tea.

I brewed this one time in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 4 tsp leaf and 185 degree water for four minutes.

This is a fairly tasty tea with a lot of sweet flavors going on. I can definitely taste the raspberry and other fruit flavors. Not sure if I taste the mate. It is pretty good.

This tea is reasonably good with notes of malt that are very mild. It’s also got a somewhat unpleasant aftertaste to it, not sure however if that’s the tea or my taste buds. I did just finish breakfast.

This is very tasty, sweet and nutty. I can’t really say how sweet because I added the vanilla agave nectar I bought from David’s Tea today. This is a very nice cup for when I cannot have caffeine.

This tea is decent tea. It is not spectacular but it is tasty. And for the price I paid it is better than I was expecting. It’s got a nice flavor, not sure if you would call it muscatell like an expensive Darjeeling. In any case it is good enough to drink again.

I steeped this one time in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and 200 degree water for 2 minutes. The leaves of this tea are very very fine so I guessed it would steep fast and gave it less time.

This stuff is not bad considering the price I paid. It has a note of malt and a slightly unpleasant aftertaste. Overall it is goof for the price of the tea.

I brewed this once in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and 200 degree water for 3 minutes.
