I ate the last mango in Paris…. but there was still mango tea in the pantry.

Mango is the unofficial fruit of today. There is a scent of mango and some citrus notes. The flavour is nicely mango, with a little peach. A good fruity blend.

Flavors: Citrus, Mango, Peach, Tropical

Tasting note of the beast.

“It’s those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running, and all of our cunning
If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane”- Jimmy Buffett

One of my recent teas from the local shop. There is a nice mild mango aroma. The flavour is lightly sweet and tropical. Would probably be good iced.

Flavors: Fruity, Mango, Tropical

The weather has been kinda nice, and spring-like lately. So I’m listening to Jimmy Buffett (The Last Mango in Paris album) and having this tea. There is a nice mango scent. It has a sweet tropical flavour. This is a very good fruit blend.

The dry aroma is toasted grains and roasted nuts. When brewed, I get more of a popcorn or ricecake scent. There is a nice toasty flavour, with nutty notes.

I wonder how it would be with toast.

Flavors: Grain, Popcorn, Rice, Roast Nuts, Toasty

I got as a sample because it sounded interesting. The scent is certainly vegetal, and a little earthy. There is a sweet vegetal flavour. It is almost like a light green tea.

Flavors: Earth, Green, Vegetal

Lunch tea, as selected by tea chat. There is a bit of smoky scent, with plum notes. It has a more nutty aroma when brewed. The flavour is sorta roasted nuts.

Pretty good with fried rice.

Happy Year of the Boar!
One of my new tea samples. I decided should drink more green and oolong teas. There is a nice ginger scent, with more fruit notes when brewed. The flavour is sweet and mostly ginger. It does have a lemon and lychee flavour, but that is slightly hidden.

Overall, I really like this blend.

Flavors: Citrus, Ginger, Lemon, Lychee

There is a nice aroma of flowers and chocolate. The flavour is more floral with mild chocolate and vanilla notes. It is nicely sweet, and a good dessert tea.

Had some while re-reading “Peony in Love” by Lisa See.

Flavors: Chocolate, Cocoa, Floral, Rose, Vanilla

My tea while playing Harvest Moon- The Tale of Two Towns. (This game always makes me want tea. As my favourite town has a nice little tea house.) There is a nice floral scent. The flavour is a bit sweet and lightly floral. It is a nice relaxing oolong.

Flavors: Floral, Osmanthus

The tea of my Star Trek re-watch. There is a nice citrus scent. Mostly bergamot, with some lemon notes. It has a sweet citrus flavour. A good tea for winter mornings.
