Dec. 25th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min, 3tsp, 16oz
Aroma: Primarily malty black tea notes but not overly pungent. There is a touch of cocoa and coffee as well. 7/10

Cardamom French Toast from DAVIDsTEA

Dec. 25th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 2.5tsp, 16oz, 7min
Aroma: There is something to be said for a tea smelling like WGT it’s called. There is a sense of buttery, sugary, french toast. 8/10
Flavor: This is in the zone as well. It does lean on the sweeter side of French toast but this has that richness that you’d associate with break...
White Ayurvedic Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: White Tea – Region: ?????76 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 24th, 2020
Prep: 205F, 5min, 4tsp for 16oz (as per instructions but lowered 212 to 205).
When Teavana made this variety, it was one of the first teas that I truly loved. This is meant to be a replacement for their discontinued line, I think.
Aroma: The nose really shows off the spice of the tea with some pungent cinnamon....

Body: ...

Dec. 23rd, 2020
Prep: 8oz, 175F, 2.5 min
Aroma: The name is spot on. Really does have a Citronella note balanced by the earthiness of the green tea. 6/10
Flavor: This is pleasant. I mostly taste earth green tea but the aroma of the lemon and lime does add something. Probably not my go to blend but it’s solid. 6/10
Body: Pret...
Yi Mei Ren Wu Liang Mountain Yunnan Black Tea from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Black Tea – Region: Jingdong, Yunnan, China72 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2020
This was the first tea I've tried from Yunnan Sourcing to (relatively) disappoint. Perhaps it's just not suited to my tastes, and it's not bad, but I thought it failed to live up to the high expectations I have come to develop for this company.
This tea had both a different appearance and aroma from what I am used t...
Gingerbread Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend64 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2020
Prep: 212F,5min, 2tsp, 16oz water
Aroma: Really getting the black tea malty notes but not a ton of anything else. 6/10
Flavor: This comes across primarily as a creamy black tea. I’m not sure if maybe I just need to shake the tin a bit. It’s a good black tea though! 6/10
Body: Fairly full bodied tea. 7/1...
Coconut from Adagio Teas
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: ?????78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 22nd, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 16oz
Aroma: Smelling the dry tea, there is a fairly substantial coconut flesh aroma that thankfully stays away from the artificial sun tan lotion notes that can often plague many coconut products. In the mug, the rich malty notes from the black tea are dominant with a mild creamy coconut not...
Premium Qimen Black Tea of Huangshan from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Keemun Mao Feng – Region: Huangshan, Anhui, China92 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 22nd, 2020
I continue to branch out into black teas from provinces other than Yunnan, sold by Yunnan Sourcing. This was a pleasant surprise: an exceptionally smooth tea, easy to brew and easy to drink, among the sweetest Keemuns I've tried.
The dry leaf is very fine and curly, so much it is shaped more like Bi Luo Chun than li...
Chocolate Chai Pu Erh from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????82 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 22nd, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2 heaping tsp for 16oz.
Aroma: I often am critical of chai teas because they are too balanced. Typically, I want the spice when I go for chai. This blend delivers. Quite spicy, plenty of chocolate in the nose. 9/10
Flavor: There is not a disparity between the aroma and flavor which is nice. Ve...
Honeybush Banana Nut from Adagio Teas
Style: Honeybush – Region: ?????86 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 21st, 2020
Prep: 2 tsp, 16oz, 212F, 5min
The aroma of this dry tea is mind blowing. I honestly believe this could be a dehydrated banana nut muffin in a bag.
Aroma:after brewing, this still very much smells like a banana nut muffin. It’s crazy how well it hits all those notes. 10/10
Taste: There is a bit of a honey...
Candy Cane from Adagio Teas

Dec. 21st, 2020
Prep: 212F, 3 min, 16oz, 2tsp
Appearance: deep red with some oil residue on top of the tea (from the candy cane, I’d guess)
Aroma: This smells incredible. So much peppermint. Of even go as far as to say that it’s the specific peppermint that I’d associate with a candy cane. Incredibly well done.
Taste:...

Style: Black Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China86 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 19th, 2020
This was a pleasant, if somewhat disappointing tea that I found tasted better as it cooled.
The dry leaf is long, wiry, and grayish black, and has a mild aroma that initially is a sort of sweet chocolatey quality, underlain by a deep maltiness. It reminds me of a chocolate shortbread cookie. Overall, the dry leaf do...
