I’ve had genmaicha in the past and was greatly turned off. They always have a burnt flavor. Well, not this one! Brewed as stated, and it was perfection. Nutty, light, and sexy! Second brew was just as tasty. I will try iced next time, but loved it served hot! I tasted peanuts it in, too! Truly an awesome tea, will have it again!

drank Mayan Cocoa Spice by Yogi Tea
335 tasting notes

I used to love the Jamaican Roast Tea I used to buy from Yogi Tea. Seems like I have the baddest luck and many places stop making my favorite teas. I wrote Yogi Teas and they recommended this one. The ingredients sounded awesome, cocoa shells? clove? YUM! But as a tea…NO! It is bland, needs a “tea” in it, and it has an awkward flavor even with it being so bland. I had to throw it out. No where near being as awesome as their Jamaican Roast Tea, and not a good recommendation!

I’ve had other chocolate teas that have been much better, I recommend going that way!

Boiling 8 min or more

drank Sencha (Pyramid Tea Bag) by Den's Tea
335 tasting notes

I love this tea!!! I first had it at a sushi restaurant and saved the wrapper to remember to buy it. I finally found that wrapper and bought a box. It’s lush and very green in appearence. I am in the process of trying the novice pack from Den’s Tea.

But this tea changed what I thought was green tea was. Kind of like listening to the Beatles for the first time in your life.

drank Green Coconut by TeaGschwendner

I love this tea. It’s super yummy, perfect when iced! I did exactly what the bag said to brew at, and for once, I wouldn’t change it! This will definitely be in rotation in my tea collection. I was even thinking of making an ice cream with coconut milk with it. No sugar needed! The coconut gives alot, though still not overpowering. The sencha is good quality, too.

Though my experience of this was from drinking it iced at their main store, I know it would make a wonderful hot tea. It smells rich and magical. I would brew it for longer, too since it was kind of light.

drank Decaf Chai Tea by Good Earth Teas

I like making my chai by scratch, but this blend is very nice. Makes for a great dessert brewed in a mix of almond and rice milk, no sugar needed.

I love lemongrass and I love green tea, I just don’t like this blend one bit. It was way too much lemongrass for me and too sour. Maybe I just like lemongrass in blends.

A very mild vanilla tea. Slightly sweet, not as rich as other Good Earth teas can be. It tastes like cheap white tea, but the flavor hides it gracefully. I like it, but I don’t know if I’ll buy it again.

drank Luzianne Decaf Tea by Luzianne

We tried making our true tested southern tea with decaf, but it didn’t turn out anywhere near the original. It’s a weak tea, and wasn’t a fan one bit.

Bio

I love cooking, sleeping, reading, reggae music, and tea. I also enjoying reading about tea, the culture and ceremonies, and the diverse types.

I think most the teas I drink are 80% iced, but on some days, it’s opposite that, especially days off! I can’t believe it took me this long to try different teas. Better now than never!

Reading the reviews help guide me to the right tea. I have been turned on to so many delightful brews.

I am ALWAYS up for swapping. Just PM me.
