drank Madame Butterfly by The Tea Emporium
1759 tasting notes

Courtesy of Sil. Thanks for the sample!
eeeep, this one is not for me. I don’t know why but it was just not interesting for me. The peach was there… but somehow it fell flatter than the prairies for me. Oh well I was curious for a long time. Now I know :)

I loved the one from Gurman’s and I think it is the same! And now Tin Roof Teas is carrying the same tea under the name Fuzzy Navel. I keep it because even kids love it unsweetened. My little piano students and voice students drink it! LOL! I wonder if it just isn’t your bag, or yours is old? Different? Maybe it just isn’t your thing, though, I often dislike peach flavored things.

It’s not a strong peach by any means… There are a bunch better out there (now I know this!!! Haha)

Maybe that is why I like it…I didn’t used to like peach flavored things and there are only a few things now that I do like – real peach dumplings or cobbler, but ICK on peach yoghurt. So maybe I ( and the kids I teach) like milder peach flavor!

Ashmanra: I feel the same about blueberry. Only a few b-flavoured things I don’t mind. Yogurt? blech.
Sil: it reminded me of Jasmine somehow. Wish I knew why!

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
