29 Tasting Notes

Standard Jasmine green tea. nothing special. I was cleaning out tea bags to give to a friend since I rarely/if ever use tea bags anymore and I thought I would try a few again before I passed them along just to make sure. I’m torn. Do I give It away or keep it? It’s not bad. I just love the flavor and smell of a strong jasmine. Think I’ll give it away. It’s a light scent. Nothing wrong with the taste. it’s just not special. And I’m sure I have other great choices to pick from so this one would get skipped over a lot.

I received this in a gift set. I don’t think it was a tea I would have normally picked out for myself. I’ve never had a Pu’erh. I try to stay away from black teas because of the caffeine. I drink a lot of teas at night so this isn’t one I’ve had before. I made a point to get up and make a cup of tea this morning and use this one. I’m really ,really surprised. I like it!! I can taste the berry. Strawberry maybe? and a hint of mint. I do normally add honey or rock sugar to most of my teas. I thought if this was a weight loss tea perhaps I wouldn’t need any sugar. Nope. It doesn’t need anything. I can see repurchasing this one as a morning pick me up! I think I’m a little to new to teas to have a discerning palate yet. I don’t get all the flavors that are in this one- yet. I’m certainly surprised and am enjoying it!

Flavors: Berries, Mint, Strawberry

Marzipan

This sounds good, it’s an unfortunate name for it maybe?

I think it’s supposed to help with weight loss. Well, that’s what I get out of the name. I made it in my Breville one touch so I made enough for 2 cups. The second cup I let get a little cool. I noticed the bitter aftertaste when cold that I didn’t notice when hot. So, I think it’s best had hot.

This tea has pu-erh in it, which is supposed to speed up metabolism (possibly helping with weight loss). I believe that’s the idea, anyway.

Your note about black tea and caffeine caught my eye. It’s strictly an urban myth that black tea has more caffeine than other kinds of tea. It all depends on how it’s processed. You can Google caffeine levels of different kinds of tea; here’s the first one I found" http://www.choiceorganicteas.com/caffeineintea.php. Hope that helps you sleep better at night!

I tried this two ways tonight one with milk the other without. It’s ok as Chais go but I wouldn’t repurchase it. At $15 for 2 oz I wasn’t that impressed. To me it didn’t seem to have a devolved flavor. I only tasted the cinnamon no other real flavors. I do appreciate that it’s one of the only Teavana teas that doesn’t list artificial flavors as one of the ingredients. I’m not a big black tea fan anyway. I am still saying I would recommend this tea. It’s not bad. I just like a more well rounded chai.

Flavors: Cinnamon

Inkling

I really didn’t care much for this one either. Teavana’s old chai teas are much better than their new ones, in my opinion!

That’s exactly how I felt. Too much cinnamon, very little chai.

I could drink this but really prefer not to. It’s not as bad as the cranberry Singapore sling. I really like the taste of amaretto but this had an artificial taste to me.

This is my 13 year old son’s favorite tea. It’s warm. Just enough hint of spice for him. I do enjoy a cup with him but I prefer a spicier blend.

I liked this green tea. I thought that the mint might be over powering but I was wrong. It’s not my favorite tea and I probably won’t replace it. But I’ll enjoy what I do have.

If they were going for cough medicine they nailed it!! This almost turned me completely off tea! It’s really horrible. I purchased it on sale off the website. I like cranberry. But dry it smells like cough medicine and steeped it taste and smells like cough medicine! Even on sale don’t waste your money. Unless of course you like the taste of cough medicine!! I was very disappointed.

I love the spicy Maharaja mixed with the sweetness of the samurai chai. So this is my favorite blend of chai. I like a strong cup so about the 3rd pot of this I add in a little extra. I use equal parts of each tea.

Flavors: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Spicy, Sweet

Preparation
6 tsp 25 OZ / 750 ML

For a white tea- I’m impressed. Light spicy taste. I normally like a heavier feel to my chai teas but for late in the evening I think it’s great!

Last year while out of town I found teavana and fell in love. I love hot spicy teas. This year I returned and purchased even more. I also received the Breville One Touch for my birthday. I’m open to expanding past Teavana. I signed up for the monthly box. I’d really like to find an organic flavorful tea company! Looking forward to sipping away!
Update: spicy chai’s are still my favorite. But I’ve found I also like mint, green, jasmine, oolong.
I have also discovered I don’t like floral. The old lady smell is enough to make me not even try it brewed.
And undecided about herbals. Guess I haven’t tried enough of those yet.

Still on my discovery journey of teas.
