drank Deep Blue Spirulina by DAVIDsTEA

When I steep this, the color is a lot more muted than in pictures, but it’s probably because I’m not putting enough leaf in. Just trying to stretch my tea! Anyway the color changing is fun, but I don’t add lemon because I don’t want my tea tasting like lemons. Drinking it plain, it tastes kind of boring. It’s a strange flavor that I can’t really compare to anything. Not bad, just kind of medium. I’ll definitely finish my two ounces, but this tea isn’t exciting enough to order again.

I would’ve liked the lavender to be a little stronger. I taste mostly lemon, but even so, it’s nice. It’s not the best lemon tea I’ve had, but it’s cheap and good enough. It tastes a little medicinal, but in a good way.

drank Fruits d'Alsace by Harney & Sons

This one is from Ost. Lately, I haven’t been loving fruity blacks, but this one is pretty good. The black tea is all right, and the fruity flavor is pretty strong and nice. Hard to say what fruit it’s meant to be. Maybe apricot? I have enough for another cup or two, which I’ll enjoy, but I won’t order more.

drank Valentines by Adagio Teas

Got this one from meowster. It’s an attractive tea with the flowers and tiny chocolate chips. The chocolate chips definitely contribute the most to the flavor of this tea. The tea tastes mostly like semi-sweet chocolate. I’d like to try it with milk. I bet it would be like a slightly less rich hot chocolate.

Oh my gosh this tea smells so accurate, it’s crazy. It definitely tastes like snickerdoodles too! I’ll need to add more leaf and sugar next time, but I really like this. A tea that tastes like cookies. Can’t really get better than that.

drank Tokio by Lupicia

I have a bag of this from Ost, I think. The smell and taste are rather like bubblegum. That’s not a flavor I usually like, but it works here. Hot, I did not enjoy this, but it tastes pretty good cold. I still wouldn’t want more, but it was nice to try.

drank Green Guava by Simpson & Vail
2655 tasting notes

This is another one I got from tea-sipper this summer. I remember quite liking this one at first, but I’m sad to say it’s lost some flavor in the ensuing months. I need to force myself to drink my green teas first! Totally my own fault. Anyway, the green tea is mild, not bitter or grassy. The fruit flavor is subtle, and it’s also hard to say what fruit it’s trying to be. I do like it though, even now.

I didn’t think I would like this one, but it’s surprisingly nice!

drank Noël à Venise by Dammann Frères

One of my last samples from Cameron B! This one is definitely desserty. My uncultured tongue said chocolate, but maybe that’s because I was drinking it at the same time as a chocolate one. The black tea is nice, a tiny bit bitter. There are citrus notes. It tasted good, but I wouldn’t choose it over other similar teas.

drank Pu Erh Hazelberry by Adagio Teas

I didn’t expect to like this, but I actually really did! You can’t really taste the base. It’s mostly just chocolate-ish with a slight hint of berry. I got this one from meowster. I totally look forward to my next cup of this. It’s a nice mild tea.

drank Pina Colada by Adagio Teas
2655 tasting notes

I don’t know why they included so much hibiscus. If you cold brew this, you can taste a nice coconut flavor, and the hibiscus is toned down. Hot, it tastes fine, just too much hibiscus to be what it’s supposed to be. I’ve had much better pina colada teas. I would not repurchase this.

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
