A general, decaffeinated black tea. Nothing too distinctive, just decaf black tea. Nicely balanced strength, not too sharp like a breakfast tea. It does steep dark very quickly.

drank Jasmine Green Tea by Twinings

Very nice green tea with Jasmine flavors.
Medium-dark for a green tea, and not very “vegetal” tasting like some green teas. Jasmine is light and noticeable but not overpowering.
Generally I drink black teas about 5:1 to green teas, but I like this one.

Preparation
3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I am not a jasmine fan, but I was gifted this tea and it’s ok for me. Mild enough jasmine that I don’t feel like I’m drinking flowers.

drank Camomile & Lemongrass by Ahmad Tea

I have never had chamomile tea before, so it’s quite a different taste. Definitely herbal, sort of rounded, earthy, smooth.
Not bad, but so different from everything else I’ve had it will take some time to get used to.

Chamomile is usually improved by additives. Apple’s my favorite.

drank Lemon and Ginger by Twinings

To me, sharp, yes lemon and Ginger, but I don’t like the combination. I like ginger beer, and lemonade. But for this tea, not a good combination.

Am adding a rating system:
95-100:
|| One of the best teas I’ve ever
|| had. Best of the best.
90-94:
|| Very very good tea, something
|| to go in the rotation of having on
|| hand regularly to enjoy.
80-89:
|| Light “wow”, something distinctive
|| about it. Prime example of a “type”
|| of good tea experience.
70-79:
|| Good tea, had something above average
|| But no “wow” factor.
60-69:
|| Okay tea, it was drinkable
|| but nothing special. Not worth
|| buying again.
50-59:
|| If Im in the right mood, maybe it’s OK
|| If I need space on the shelf, may give
|| it away.
25-49:
|| Somebody else may like it,
|| just not me.
0-24:
|| I doubt anyone would enjoy this.
|| Something I would toss before
|| drinking again.
Borrowed format and heavily modified from “Mackie”.
Thanks for the idea!
