32 Tasting Notes

Got this from the ‘christmas treats’ sampler. I didn’t think I’d like it but brewed it anyway just so I could say I gave it a fair chance, but much to my surprise I liked it. I didn’t love it, and I probably won’t be buying it, but it was ok. It does smell just like the Green Apple Jolly Rancher candy, but doesn’t taste as strong.

I tried this for the first time today. I’ve had 4 cups of it at work this morning. So far I’m liking it very much, which is a good thing because I bought 300g of it before I even tried it!

Got this as a free sample with an order I placed. I totally agree with another steepster who said it smells just like a strawberry campino candy; the comparison is very accurate. I like it very much, wish I had more than just a single-serve sample to give it a fair assessment. I’ll definitely get more of it to see if I still like it as much after a few more cups.

Got this as a free sample with an order I placed. It’s like fruit punch… hot fruit punch. I’m not a fan. It’s probably very good cold though, I’ll have to wait until summer to try it.

drank Le Digestif (Organic) by DAVIDsTEA

Surprisingly good. Didn’t think I’d like this one, but I do! Great after a meal, or to sooth an upset stomach. Will definitely have to keep some of that on hand.

Some tropical fruits, but mostly just green tea leaves. I like the taste, although it’s quite weak.

I haven’t personally tried this one, but my sister really liked it.

Pot-pourri anyone? This is way too flowery!

Agreed completely! I’m not a HUGE tea fan (but I’m trying to drink more kinds) and I’d love to be able to keep reviews private for myself for the future. This tea tasted like grandmothers flowery perfume to me! :( Now I have to decide what to do with a can of tea I don’t want.

Got a bunch of that stuff for free as promotion. Didn’t want it to go to waste so I drank it, but at the same time couldn’t wait for it to be all gone. Way too sweet.

Too much like straight black tea for my liking.

Bio

I started drinking tea in spring of 2017 in an effort to reduce my coffee/pop consumption while getting some of the benefits from tea. I’m still just exploring various teas and trying to figure out what I like most.

I’m far from a tea connaisseur/enthusiast. My notes are not meant to be a review for the tea community, but rather for myself so I know what to buy or not buy again (I wish there was a way to keep notes private).

That being said, I’ll try to stick to these guidelines when I rate teas (copied from Kittenna):

100: This tea is amazing and I will go out of my way to keep it in stock.

85-99: My core collection (or a tea that would be, if I was allowing myself to restock everything!) Teas I get cravings for, and drink often.

75-84: Good but not amazing; I might keep these in stock sparingly depending on current preferences.

67-74: Not bad, I’ll happily finish what I have but probably won’t ever buy it again as there’s likely something rated more highly that I prefer.

51-66: Drinkable and maybe has some aspect that I like, but not really worth picking up again.

34-50: Not for me, but I can see why others might like it. I’ll make it through the cup and maybe experiment with the rest to get rid of it.

0-33: It’s a struggle to get through the cup, if I do at all. I will not willingly consume this one again, and will attempt to get rid of the rest of the tea if I have any left.
