drank Sour Apple by Adagio Teas
828 tasting notes

So I tried this again, this time with a little more of the blend and with agave nectar. When it was still very hot, it was actually quite good! As it cooled, though, I didn’t like it as much.

Did you get any actual apple flavor? I got cran apple at very best… and even that wasn’t really true… the hot cranberry just burned my throat.

Oh no, just like last time, very little apple flavor. It’s strange since you can see the apples! This was just a better cup than last time. :)

It’s because the cranberries overpower it. Den’s Tea’s Apple Sencha does have a slight sour note to it, especially when steeped w/ premium sencha parameters.

So true. Good to know about Den’s! Once this sample is out, I’ll have to give that one a go!

I’ve been into tea, at some level, since college with a first tin of loose tea brought back by my parents from Oxford. My love of tea increased with a visit to Boston and a chance cup at Tealuxe. Since then I’ve only gotten more interested in tea and have developed more of an appreciation for it.

(updated 12/2010)

100: a perfect cuppa. these are the teas I’ll keep in my cupboard and tend to be one per type of tea.

90-99: will definitely get more of this tea

80-89: likely to get more and perhaps it will become a favorite with time

70-79: very good, depending on my mood or the season

60-69: wouldn’t actively try to get this tea, but also wouldn’t avoid it in a tea shop or restaurant

50-59: run-of-the-mill tea for me

40-49: decent, would hit the spot in some moods, but probably wouldn’t purchase it for my cupboard

30-39: okay, will try again, maybe

20-29: meh. I’d try this tea again if no other were available

10-19: drinkable, but a forced cup

0-9: didn’t even finish the cup
