Austin Powers once said…
“It’s a bit NUTTY”
Sorry…HAD to! LOL
The description says it’s fruity and grassy. I’m not getting fruity but maybe a little grassy with the scent. It also smells a bit nutty to me. The taste is a sweet honey, nutty taste. Green Tea taste but not lingering…very smooth at the end of the sip! I like this one just fine.
Dropping the rating a lot on this because I just can’t deal with the end astringency. There is an interesting flavor at the start but the nutty bitterness just kills it for me. And it gets worse as it cools. Bleh. I gave it a decent rating at first because it had potential but either all it has is potential or I’m just not… uhm, man?… enough to bring out what it promises.
Preparation
This tea reminds me quite a bit of Rishi’s Jade Cloud but it is softer and silkier. It tastes vegetal green and a little salty, with a nice nutty aftertaste that, as the cup cools, threatens to overwhelm a bit as it combines with the salty to make a not-quite-bitterness. That taste is something that I could do with having less of so I think I will shorten the steep time the next time I have this since that helps tame Jade Cloud.
ETA: Second steep @ 3:00. The nutty bitterness has increased. That’s unpleasant. I feel that this tea still has potential though. We shall see.
Preparation
I wasn’t sure about this tea when we first met it. The smell some said was like chocolate but I didn’t find it so. I was quite taken back by the smell but then my nose has been a bit off as of late… long hours, stress and a sinus cold, again. However, I gave it a go in the pot-o-wonders and it faired well. It brewed a happy hue and a handsome cup! It has this mouthy mourning breakfast cereal taste which I find quiet pleasing and goes wonderfully with milk (which I am trying to kill off as I am off to sea yet again).
I am afraid this tea will be traveling with be on my next journey… so say farewell to dry land as I take no sissy teas with me! Aaarrgh! :P
Needed more tea to keep from freezing! This tea is tasting a bit one dimensional to me today. Flat. Woody. Not sweet. I wonder if I should have lowered the temp a bit, because I remember this being really enjoyable and subtly sweet on steeps 2+. I will give it another try on another day at 175 to see if I enjoy it more.
Sigh! I think I’ve been spoiled by Dragon Balls!
Preparation
75!
You’ve been very remiss in your ratings! I had several teas these past few days and…no Ricky Ratings!
=X
Fine fine, I’ll get to it. I did a quick guess with this rating, so perhaps it’s not 100% accurate.
No, this one is good :) It’s just you skipped a bunch, Mr.!
Very delicious oolong. I got 3 very flavorful steeps! The first one was a bit woody and one dimensional, and I was a little dissapointed! But the second and the third more than made up for the first – very sweet/honeyed, ever so slightly floral, very TEA ish. I dare say tea with a little lemon!
The package called for a much lower temperature than I’m used to using for oolongs, but it seemed to have worked well – not a hint of bitterness or astringency.
I also suspect this one would be great iced. I have to try a cold brew of this!
I have reached a real turning point in my tea drinking. I love a once in awhile special treat of a robust black tea with milk and sugar, or a flavored black dessert tea with milk and sugar, but my every day craving has turned toward any tea that can be taken plain. Ch-ch-ch-ch- changes!
Preparation
I hope to eventually reach that point in my own tea-volution. I no longer require sugar, but milk is still almost a must for me when it comes to black teas. (Though of course not with oolongs, which I enjoy very much in their “naked” state!)
I still can’t shake the notion that sugar doesn’t belong in tea. Hope you are doing OK today.
Thanks gmathis :)
P.S. I think however you prefer tea is how it belongs :) I am glad my tastes are changing toward the plain teas, though, because it’s such a pain to have milk and sugar here at work! At home, I really enjoy a nice cup of a bold black tea with milk and sugar, though!
I completely agree about the woodeness of the first steep! I wasn’t a big fan of that. Unfortunately I didn’t bother resteeping. Now I’m regretting that.
I really cut down the steep time and increased the leaf a little (just under 5g for 10oz) to see if I could get more flavor and less I’m-having-a-quick-plant-snack feeling from this tea. It seems to have worked somewhat. Now I’m getting more sweet, light almost-but-not-quite Assam taste with only a faint hint of raw texture/taste to it. There’s still a bit of bitterness that brings to mind oversteeped Darjeeling but it’s decreased and seems to blend with the rawness in a way that, while not exactly pleasant, isn’t jarring. Still not exactly my cuppa.
ETA: Uhm, what happened? It started to cool and I got more rawness from it which wasn’t happy making but meh, I kept sipping. And it got cooler and now tastes like I’ve dosed it with at least one, maybe even two, heaping teaspoons of sugar. Which would normally be neat but for this tea? Just seems weird.
Preparation
I’ve only had one other Nilgiri and I honestly wasn’t a fan. There was an edge to it that made me think of thick, rough plant leaves – you know, the kind you’d find in a cheapy bouquet – and I just couldn’t get over that. It’s one of those tastes for me (like rooibos) that no matter how little of it there is in something, that’s all my mind can focus on. And I smell a little bit of that raw leafness in this cup. Uh oh.
Yeah, I taste it, too. There’s a floral hint that sweetens the tea a little and it is definitely bolder and richer than the previous Nilgiri I have had (Tao of Tea’s Neela) but all I can focus on is that leaf that somehow got into my cup. I keep thinking, “This must be what it is like to eat a tea-flavored rose bush leaf.” Because yeah, that’s what I get. There’s also a hint of sharpness at the end that makes me think of a Darjeeling but only in a not-so-positive way.
I tried to tweak this a bit with sugar and half & half since the company’s tasting notes say that it can take it but, meh. Nothing I did really seemed to help – half & half made the raw leaf bit calm down but seemed to accentuate the bitterness. Sugar didn’t really do anything until I put in more than I wanted – then it was just sweet. And raw. And leafy.
I just don’t think Nilgiris and I are ever going to get along.
Preparation
I saw you saw my post on this one earlier… I don’t actually have to say it again, do I?
It’s uncanny!
Hehe! I was glad to see your log of it – it’s nice to know that I’m not alone in my not huge fannishness of some of the more loved teas on Steepster! I didn’t feel so crazy (or at least I had the comfort of company in my insanity.)
Hmm… sip sip sip
No, Auggy’s right. While this is a yummy yummy tea, the famed Tan Yang Te Ji (I miss the Tan Yang Te Ji…) is just that little bit better.
sip
I just can’t decide if this should be docked a couple of points or the other being given a couple more points. Yes that is important! So, I’ll leave them both alone.
But the Tan Yang is just that little bit better.
Weird. Yesterday I wasn’t really tired as such, I just couldn’t be bothered. Today, I had an hour over time, I’m really really tired, I’ve found a bagel-place where I can get Dr Pepper (!!! (It’s not impossible that I’ve seen that before and forgotten it, actually)) and I haven’t opened it yet. It’s just standing there looking inviting and yummy.
And what I really want is tea. More specifically, the Dawn from JacquelineM. I don’t know, maybe I had to sort of… prepare myself mentally for it. Whatever it was, I knew for absolute certain that I was going to try it now.
I’ve been really looking forward to this one because all the posts I’ve read about it have reminded me of the beloved Tan Yang from TeaSpring. You know… the one they don’t have anymore! And that was one awesome tea. Seriously.
The leaves look really big and long and to my surprise they smell of chocolate. Not cocoa as I had expected, but real chocolate, all sweet and milky, as if the bag I got the sample in used to contain sweets. After steeping it has this funny sort of smell that I know what is, I just don’t know what it is. But I know I know the smell. It’s sort of like a dark oolong, with some chocolate notes and some fruity notes and something kinda malty. It’s… It’s…. I don’t know what exactly it is, but it is it.
Interesting flavour! It definitely reminds me of the Tan Yang with the initial fruityness and then some cocoa-y chocolate and a touch of… is that smoke??? IT IS!!! Just a touch, but it’s there. Just like in the Tan Yang. Seriously, if I didn’t know better, I would swear it was the same tea. This is really really REALLY good. I’ll savour the sample, and I’m looking forward to seeing if it’ll turn properly smoky on second steep.
I need to check this company out, their shipping policies in particular. If this is available to me, I must have it. (But later.)
I love this one too!
I’m getting some very soon – I can’t wait to try it.
So you’re a Dr. Pepper fan? My boyfriend is a HUGE Dr. Pepper fan. Almost his entire T-shirt wardrobe is Dr. Pepper T-shirts and he used to drink it by the case. Not a Dr. Pepper fan here, though I expect to be a big Dawn fan when I finally crack it open.
Morgana, I am! Unfortunately it’s difficult to get in Denmark. They tried selling it in most stores for a couple of years, but they’ve stopped doing that. I’m guessing it probably didn’t sell well enough. Now I can only get it when I’m lucky enough to find small cafes and such that have it. It’s currently standing in my fridge. I’m saving it for later. I think it’ll go nicely with dinner tonight. :)
I was d-r-a-g-g-i-n-g today after my restless night. An afternoon tea with some power was required. The crisp weather had me craving one of my milk and sugar favorites, Mountain Malt! So hefty, malty, and flavorful. I taste a slight…lemony character to it, too. I don’t think I noticed that before. Truly delicious, and truly fortifying. I was able to do all of my homework after my cup!
Preparation
What is your rating, or maybe you don’t want to put a number on it…..and that’s…OK.
He hee – are you making a joke about my loooooong tasting note about how I don’t numerically rate teas? :) :) :)
Hahahaha….it is ok if you dont ….I thought maybe you forgot. :))
Delicious and in-vig-or-a-ting! Wheeee! I think it is called Mountain Malt because it is so strong that when you are finished your cup, you truly believe you have enough energy to climb a mountain ;) I love the bready malty flavor with the underlying earthiness. I really, really love the strength on days like today when I will be going, going, going til 9pm!
You may have noticed that I took the rating off of this tea. I have recently read a book about wine called Liquid Memory by Jonathan Nossiter. It has really made me think about a bunch of things, not just wine. One of them is numerical rating systems.
Warning! This is going to be long! :)
This is what he has to say:
Of course one has to distinguish between classifying wines – expressing hierarchies of preference – and scoring them. There is a profound difference between the admirably restrained critic Michael Broadbent’s purposefully malleable five star rating and a pseudo precise one hundred point scoring system. …These stars are explicitly variable and general and he insists that the expression of preference is dependent on the precise circumstances that the wine was tasted in …
… The numerical point system inherently implies a mathematical certainty, whether out of twenty or one hundred points. However absurd, this ersatz scientificity is perfectly suited to a culture uneasy with the notion of informed critical judgement coexisting with ambiguity and complexity. This culture prefers specious absolutes, an infantile and incomprehensible language for which no real engagement is required and a falsely pedaled sense of democracy, the fatuous reassurance of pseudo facts and factoids. This has been true from the dominant political discourse since Reagan, across the globe’s television screens, right into the computers of the self appointed custodians of our wine culture.
… Consumers all over the world have now become accustomed to seek out “Parker 95 wines” or “Wine Spectator 90s” no longer sure of, or necessarily interested in, the wine’s origins, makers, or contexts. Parker, the Wine Spectator, and other “serial scorers” reassure people who are insecure about wine but who want to be “winners.” … Hence, there is a gradual inflation of 90 point wines, as the Christie’s director said about the contemporary art world, to increase the supply of winners and keep everybody in the game renumerated. Imagine: Matisse! 95 points! Chagall 99 points! Jeff Koons 100 points! … But poor old dirty, messy, edgy George Rouault wouldn’t get above a 75. To assign numbers to a wine, given that a wine is fully living and infinitely mutable, is almost as repugnant to me as assigning numerical worth to humans. (pgs 148-9)
You get the idea. Long story short – I’ve always been uneasy about my numerical ratings, and after reading this book I want to get rid of them! I am going to stop giving numerical ratings to teas, and as I drink teas that I have logged before, I am going to delete my numerical ratings.
I was debating putting this up in discussions, but I was afraid it may cause a ruckus – which is not my intent. I simply want to explain why I personally am not doing numerical ratings anymore. I’m going to link to this tea log in my profile so my explanation will be “public.”
I highly recommend this book, and Nossiter’s film Mondovino if you are interested in not only wine, but globalization, taste, culture, art…
That’s so scientific! I quit putting numerical ratings on my simply because I’m wishy washy and inconsistent :)
JacquelineM’s post inspired me to quit numerical ratings, but largely because I just didn’t like Indian tea much and felt it was unfair for me to put a low score based on my preferences when it may be in fact an excellent tea for those who like that particular kind. Now I just try to communicate what I tasted and readers can form their opinion of how they think they would like it!
JacquelineM, that is a very interesting thought. I must admit that I am thoroughly convinced and might just quit the numerical ratings myself. I have always felt somewhat uncomfortable with the numerical ratings as taste and preference are so subjective and context dependent. I have long since stopped paying attention to the numerical ratings of others, I just read their thoughts, and even then I often decide that I need to taste for myself.
At any rate, thank you for the long fascinating comment
I always knew ratings are subjective and not absolute. I often find it hard to rate a tea specifically b/c the tea may vary even from cup to cup. To date I have rated every reviewed tea, but may not do so for all my teas. To me, my ratings remind me of how much I like a tea. I dont log every cup or change my reviews often. I try to give a descriptive rating, because the characteristics of the tea and the experience are, to me, what’s most important. I will read both rated and unrated teas.
The cold has won for today. Home with a tea that reminds me of being sick as a kid only 100000000000000000 times better, Mountain Malt. I’m sure a medicinal tisane with no milk or sugar would be better for me physically, but oooooooooh this is so perfect for me emotionally :) Rich malty comfort.
Preparation
Home today to write a paper. Sound familiar? ;) I need some serious POWER this afternoon, and there is one tea that makes me feel like I can climb a mountain – you guessed it! Mountain Malt! I am sipping and envisioning coherent thoughts, good grammar, and some razzle dazzle! (just a little razzle dazzle – I know!)
Preparation
Cold, grey, miserable. A paper to finish. Mountain Malt is definitely the “best tea for the day” (like Little Edie picks the “best costume for the day” – any other Grey Gardens fans here?)
Strong and flavorful. Get up and go in a cup. A classic with milk and sugar. I made the 16 oz mug, and oh, it is making all the difference!
Preparation
Rainy cold day: perfect for a strong milk and sugar Indian tea to have whist curled up reading (Philip Pullman’s I Was A Rat! Such a funny, sophisticated, satirical little children’s book! I love it!). We haven’t had Mountain Malt in awhile and oh, was it delicious! Warming and invigorating. I can’t believe how flavorful it is at a mere 3 minutes! I’m glad I got the big pouch when I ordered since the Simple Leaf is no more :(
Preparation
Yeah, I am down to about 2 more cups on mine. Sad.
Love Philip Pullman!
I will have to look for it! Just finished Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown – read Go Over the Big Hill earlier this week or last? Not sure! Catching up with you on those!
I was going to PM you about this book, ashmanra! Without giving anything away, the last sentence involves toasted cheese and tea and I instantly thought of you!
Too good to be true! I will definitely be looking for it! I am on my way to Barnes and Noble now – I will look for it there. If you didn’t already see my other post, just want to let you know that Mike Harney has offered to make me a pound of Tower of London in loose leaf! Hooray! If you post to his facebook post or contact them I bet they would make you some while they are at it! I think I know of three pounds being ordered so far…
What a wonderful weekend of Assam teas! I think this chilly weather is bringing out the Assam love in me :) I adore this one because it has the classic malty Assam taste, but it also has an earthiness to it that I appreciate very much. I also can’t complain about the jolt of energy it gives me :) Very unique, and very, very sad that the Simple Leaf is no more. I really think about when is the perfect time for this tea, and Dawn, because I know that I won’t be able to get it again :(
Preparation
A friend told me that she saw a post somewhere that someone was going to be selling Dawn, so I thought they might also be selling Mountain Malt. I will check into it. Perhaps she was mistaken?
Oooh if you find out anything about it please do tell! I haven’t heard anything about it!
Delicious and in-vig-or-a-ting! Wheeee! I think it is called Mountain Malt because it is so strong that when you are finished your cup, you truly believe you have enough energy to climb a mountain ;) I love the bready malty flavor with the underlying earthiness.

Preparation
I agree with you. The ratings that I give aren’t even really systematic in any way, it just happens to be how I feel about a tea at the time of consumption. I don’t even give much merit into the numeric ratings of other people of these teas, I read the notes and that influences me far more than the numeric rating.
Pfft, your wine guy is so behind the times, video gamers have been having this discussion for AGES. I agree that people rely on numbers a bit too much – that goes for wine, video games, movies, whatever. That said, I think numerical ratings do have their uses: 1. they make things easy for beginners: if I know jack-all about wine, but I don’t want to embarrass myself when taking a bottle to a friend’s house, then yes, a numerical score can be a pretty handy starting point.
2. They can be a useful comparative tool if understood within the context of a reviewers entire body of work. This doesn’t work as well with wine, but say on Steepster or on a video game site/magazine/whatever. If you get to know the reviewer’s tastes, you can figure out what they mean when they give a certain score and measure that against your own tastes. Of course, that requires both paying attention to actual written reviews and treating reviewers as individuals with different tastes, which I think are the REAL problems.
On the other other hand, I almost never look at the number scores on Steepster unless they are low (because then they are orange!)
Anyway, just my two cents! You realize that you are just going to get a ruckus in your comments instead of in discussions :P
Ewa – I’m glad for the mini ruckus in comments :) I didn’t want to come off like I was challenging the way The Overlords built Steepster, esp since they built it so that you could not assign a rating and delete ratings. I think Steepster is great to allow maximum user freedom.
Again to go back to wine talk, we have a local shop which is pretty amazing. They have a little essay about the store and they say that they won’t tell you that they will help you demystify wine drinking, but they can help you explore the mystery. That’s how I feel about tea too :) For me personally, number ratings are not helping explore the mystery, but serve to try and pseudo break down/categorize/put in a little box the mystery. And I rather not :)
That’s really interesting – I had no idea this debate goes on in the gaming world too!! Neat! It’s also something I think a lot about as I get ready to be a teacher – the grading bugaboo. Oh dear.
When I go to Physical Therapy, they ask me to rate my pain on a scale of one to ten. They should ask me what tea I had that morning. Queen Catherine (she soothes me when I hurt) means I was at a four, Supreme Breakfast is a three, and English Breakfast means I am not hurting at all! Do you think they will go for my new system?
ashmanra – I have a package all ready for you – going to the post office today on my lunch break :) HOPING that will mean lots of zeros and ones at PT! :) :) :) I’m not sure if PT will go for your new system but I will use my secret retired international spy powers to try and convince them. Don’t be surprised if they ask what tea you had the next time you go in for a session ;)
Yeah, the whole “score inflation” problem is huge in video game reviews. Most sites have adopted the 7-9 scale, no games get below a seven, just because review sites want to keep getting free review copies…
I have to wonder if this isn’t actually a direct result of the grading bugaboo (I like this term and will use it forever). Any(American)one who has gone through the public school system is basically conditioned to perceive numbers below 70 as “failing.” Which is silly, because there are MORE numbers below 70 than above and if they are all useless then what is the point of them except to make people feel really really stupid.
I agree with pretty much all of this. Aside from the problems with the way averages are gotten…palates are different and they change with time, the more experiences one has. Tastes drift.
I think this is why my rating system has always just been personal — i.e., my probability of drinking something or having it in my cupboard, not its actual quality.
And even that changes. I’ve redone the numbers many times!
I agree too. I’ve only been here a short time, but I’ve already noticed that all of my numeric ratings are “clumped.” I have a few really high ones, then the rest are around 80-ish then a few really gross teas are at the bottom. A simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down might be better.
I also have changed a lot since I started drinking tea. Some I steeped all wrong and they wre bitter. I used to put sugar in everything and milk in most. When you change those habits, your ratings change….A LOT! So I agree – they can be very misleading.
From now on I’m going to comment on your tasting logs with a number. This number will represent what your rating would have been :D
I’d say you’d give this one a 90. If you don’t agree feel free to correct me =]
LOLOL.
(you are pretty much correct! I remember I rated it a 100, but that could have been the caffeine talkin’)
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Ricky, you crack me up.
Glad I could bring some laughter into your day =D
Jacqueline, I’m going to rate all your logs! You just wait! Steepster shall not be deprived of your ratings.
I’ve only posted 3 ratings so far, but on the first one I tried to give it a rating, and by the second one decided it was silly for me. Something like the way tea tastes is too complex for me to try to pin down with a number.
Sorry for the late comment – just saw this post. I am glad that Steepster is versatile enough to accommodate you, JacquelineM! I am still posting numbers but like a comment above intimated, it is pretty subjective. I still love to read your blurbs/posts about the various teas so I am glad I am not deprived of your opinions!
Dan asked me a good question the other day – How does the Assam Reserve compare to Mountain Malt. I answered, but I wanted to be sure I answered completely! So, here it is:
Mountain Malt has the bready and malty (oh so malty!) that the Assam Reserve has, but much less sweetness. It has a unique – herbaceous? earthy? I still can’t put my finger on it – note though. It’s subtle, but there – and delicious.
Mountain Malt is STRONGER – I feel as if I could fly to the moon after drinking a 12 oz cup. I drank a 16oz cup of Assam Reserve yesterday and did! not! feel! like! this!!!!!
Preparation
So… really it sounds like the difference is that Mountain Malt is scarier than Assam Reserve…
I guess one woman’s herbaceous is another woman’s asparagus-like :) … I keep trying to love this one, since you and Dan are my “tea twins,” but I can only get as far as like. Maybe the Assam Reserve is more my type!
I love scary tea…
Pardon me for coveting … I wish I had some of this under my roof!
Busy morning in the garden – put together two raised beds and planted seeds for two types of string beans (I can’t call them green beans because one type is PURPLE!!) and zinnias. I was tuckered out and needed something to get me back on my feet! I thought this one would be a good candidate and POW! After a big 10oz mug of Mountain Malt I feel as if I can move mountains!!! Plus, it’s so smooth and malty and delicious. A quintessential Assam. LOVE it.
Preparation
Another ridiculous in the best way possible tea from the Simple Leaf! Malty, bready, bold. So delicious with a little half and half and sugar. It has a classic Assam like profile, but there is a little twist in there that gives it character. I’m not sure what it is – I have to drink some more of it to try and put my finger on it – but there is an interesting flavor thing going on with each sip and it’s delightful! I love this tea.
LOL! :D
LOL and ewww gross :-)
teehee…thought someone might comment on that!
