drank Vanilla Mint by Golden Moon Tea
251 tasting notes

I can’t believe that I’m first again!! This is really, really nice. It reminds me a lot of the creme de mint Altoids. Kind of tastes like you made a cup of really good tea and put in creme de mint altoids to sweeten it. (I’m drinking it sweetened, I just prefer my tea that way.) As the tea base is a mix of gunpowder green and black tea, it can take the vanilla and the mint flavors and still come through.

I like this, and may order of a tin of it someday after I reduce my tea inventory somewhat.

This tea is the most glorious amber color. Even my husband commented on the pretty color of the tea! It has a nice flavor, but I’m not able to describe the undertones. I taste something I familair, but I can’t quite pin it down.

drank Tiramisu Treviso by Teavana

This tastes a lot like coffee. (I think that Teavana tries to blend tea to taste like coffee to convert people.) The first time a tried it, I hated it. This time, I made sure the water was boiling and gave it a long time to infuse. That made it taste more like coffee. I added creamer since I like that in my coffee. I kind of like it this way. Maybe it will be a good sub for coffee.

Not very strongly flavored, but I really liked it. It’s sort of scented rather than flavored with the carmel flavor. I kind of wish the tea had a more assertive flavor overall. I hadn’t tried this before (it’s a sample) and this wasn’t quite what I wanted for this afternoon. I’m probably going to try another infusion.

I let it steep longer the second time around, and I liked it much better.

drank Sinharaja by Golden Moon Tea

A nice black tea with a mild taste. I’m enjoying it, but not as much as the Irish Breakfast yesterday. Could be I didn’t steep it correctly, but to me this was good, but not great.

Did I mention that I ordered the sampler from Golden Moon? The one with a sample of every tea they carry? It comes in a really pretty box as well.

This tea is wonderful!! After it brews it smells like TEA. I think that when the aliens come to earth and ask about tea, this might be a good one to give them.

drank Decaf Strawberry by Adagio Teas

I had forgotten that this was in the cabinet!!! I needed something to warm me up, and this is doing the trick. (I know it’s not as cold here in Florida as it is in some other places, but I am not used to this weather!)

Nice summery strawberries and black tea. What’s not to like?

drank Peach Melba by Lupicia

I’m not a huge fan of rooibos, I can’t drink it without some kind of flavoring, but this is one that I like. It has a nice peachy aroma and taste. The vanilla is nice as well, and is easily enhanced with my favorite liquid vanilla stevia from the local health food store.

drank Caribbean Dream by Teas Etc

I can’t believe I’m the first one to try this! It has a really nice tart hibiscus flavor. The other ingredients don’t come forward and say “Hi!” but they do kind of moderate the hibiscus.

This is a nice tea, and it will be a good afternoon treat.

Bio

I’m a high school chemistry teacher. I enjoy most types of teas. I don’t have any tea shops in my hometown, so I usually order my teas online. Even though I’ve drunk tea for quite a number of years, ordering online for about 15 years, I am far from a tea expert. I just know what I like.
