Drinking the Kirkland Signature right now.
I like it – grassy, vegetal taste with nice bag, and able to steep it for a second cup, nice!

6/8/2013 – This is one of the “must have” teas for my collection. Tastes great, can get it easily from Costco, guests drink it, each teabag is individually sealed. This is tea is a “winner”

This is my 50th review on Steepster!
It’s peach and ginger flavored, and all I can say is that my sister and mom enjoyed this tea. It smells good, sometimes I open the can and smell and huff the tea like a teenager from the 1970s getting high on glue in a paper bag.
Once the can is empty, planning to Decoupage it with used postage stamps.
I’ll rate this one high because I think it smells and tastes good.

I added this tea to the Steepster database. My local Asian market has this Organic version and the Premium Version. The organic version was priced at one dollar more, and has the USDA Organic logo on the package. I bought this after reading the review of the Premium one here on Steepster.

5/15/2013 – Found out I’m not much of a fan of oolongs, so It’s sitting on my tea shelf for awhile longer.

10/14/2012 – I went back to the Asian grocery store, froggy leg central, got the last box of this Pu-Erh tea. There’s a half-pound of mystery inside. Did I need it? Not really, but this looked pretty mysterious to me.

So I googled this tea, didn’t find it anywhere on the web or on Steepster. I added this to the Steepster database and took this picture.
For $2.99 for a half pound, this should be interesting. To be continued…

12/6/2012 This tea is still a mystery, It’s really mellow and nice. But, where are the other Steepsters to review this tea? Am I the only one with this tea? I feel so alone right now!

5/15/2013 – Love this tea, it’s my afternoon daily tea. There’s plenty of resteeps. When I drink it I feel relaxed and alert. I also enjoy slowing down my speech when I am on the phone. It has a relaxing, chillaxing feel to it.

7/11/2013 I have about a quarter of a pound left, this tea is really lasting. I love to make this tea at work and mellow out before I leave for the day.

12/24/2013 – This weekend I found an Asian supermarket that sells this! Kam Man Food Inc 511 Old Post Rd Edison, NJ 08817

I bought this tea in Brooklyn NY on Labor Day at a bodega. This is Jasmine Green Tea, tastes good, 25 tea bags. The jasmine flavor is really done well. I don’t think would need to look for more Jasmine teas for my collection since this one tastes great already.
The funny thing is there is really NO INFORMATION about this tea in English, all the websites describing this tea are in Russian.

5/15/2013 – I began to enjoy Jasmine tea and somehow I finished the box!

Standard, basic black tea. I take six teabags with some agave at one time and make iced tea overnight. Comes out pretty good. Can be found easily at local supermarket.

12/24/13 – I finished the box! I’ve been drinking a lot of this recently, double tea bagging it with milk, and its delicious. I’m increasing my rating. Tea box is empty, mission completed!

I was Mr. Fancy (Haggar actually) pants today, took the three block stroll up Park Ave with my necktie to check out The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf cafe. Teas any size is $2.45.
I chose the Genmaicha since I had such a good experience with the Takaokaya Genmai-Cha yesterday. I really like this store. There are comfortable chairs, lots of honey, sugar, and condoments for your teas. There is a cold water station that is a nice touch.
The whole leaf tea is in the pyramid bags string and tag
The cups have a pink lid (Breast cancer awareness month I think)
This is a good place for me for a Lunch or Afternoon break when I need to get out of the building and need to tarry somewhere. Even though the teas from this company are not highly rated, there are a few that I’ll investigate.

So I decided to stop being lazy and add this tea to the steepster database.
This is from my local local tea house that I have been to a few times in Tarrytown NY.
This is my first Organic Assam that I have.
The flavor is rich and bold, nice for breakfast.
It reminds me of a full flavored tea, such as an Irish Breakfast.
Nice hot or iced.
This tea is very similar to East Frisian by Harney & Sons

10/7/12 – Bought today at local Asian Supermarket – The one that sell frog legs, for 3.99. I know there are some Pu-erh lovers out there, and I’m gonna start with the bagged one before I start importing kilos like Scarface. I looked it up on Amazon and I think I did good. This local Asian supermarket by me has a whole isle devoted to tea so why not try them all out?

12/6/12 – This has been my daily Pu-erh drinker for now and I’m trying to get through the 100 tea bags. Sometimes I use two tea bags. As always, the taste reminds me of “dirt”.

Do you know those pregnant women who eat “pica” (nonfood items) like soap, detergent, and crayons? Well, as a man in midlife, we go through manopause, and crave Pu-Erh because is tastes like dirt/pica (weird non food item)

Sometimes tea tastes like dirt. It’s ok.
I heard there’s a Crayon/Clay flavored tea coming out for pregnant women!

12/24/13 – Sitting on my shelf at home, I’ll have to drink this up before I hit Kam Man Food Inc at 511 Old Post Rd Edison, NJ 08817 for more Pu-Erh tea.

10/7/12 – Bought today at local Asian Supermarket – The one that sell frog legs, for 2.59. I peeked inside and they are foil wrapped hermetically sealed, gonna bring a few with me on the road this week.
10/8/12 – Wow! I really like this! Tastes like matcha flavored rice crispies! Yum!

12/6/2012 I boosted this tea rating. Every time I drink it I crave sushi! Yum. I drink it in the evening. I love it – and there’s been a sale at the Midtown Manhattan Japanese store – a box for only 1.68. Wow!
