Darjeeling | Elevation from Ineeka
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 5th, 2010
This is an interesting blend as the addition of calendula (pot marigold) flowers is subtle and, at least as I perceive it, only slightly tweaks, rather than characterizes, this blend. The flower is well-chosen: it blends seamlessly with the base tea, and it's really impossible for me to say where the tea ends and cale...

Bai Ya Qi Lan Oolong traditional green style Superior Grade from Life in Teacup
Style: Qi Lan Oolong – Region: Anxi, Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 5th, 2010
I've only had dark Wuyi Qi Lan oolongs before, and I like them very much, so I was eager to try this greener one. I've heard that in general, more tightly rolled teas are higher quality, and this tea was rather loosely rolled, with the leaves taking up a lot of space. But the aroma suggests otherwise...the dry leaf h...

Large Leaf from Old Trees Pu-erh from Chicago Tea Garden
Style: Pu-erh Tea – Region: Yunnan, China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 4th, 2010
I really enjoyed this tea.
I tried brewing this in two different ways...one, as recommended, more leaf, shorter steeping times. The second, using less leaf, but longer steeps. I had much better results with this second method using longer steeping times (I recommend starting with 2-3 minutes and going from there)....
Himalayan Green | Artistry from Ineeka
Style: Green Tea – Region: Himalayas57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 4th, 2010
Unusual and different, even among green teas from the Himalayan region. This tea does not have any immediate bite, unlike most Chinese and Japanese greens of a similar overall strength. I think "dry" is a very good term to describe this tea, not just the finish but the whole experience of drinking it...it's somewhat ...

Oolong Tea from Wei-Chuan
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: China47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 2nd, 2010
Overall, slightly flat...typical for a relatively generic oolong from a big box of teabags. Full-bodied...aroma is toasty and roasty, has some depth but also is a little bit reminiscent of cardboard. Some bitterness.
I've had a lot better oolongs from teabags. But this stuff is still better than a lot of the stuf...
Lapsang Souchong from Lupicia
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Fujian, China93 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 1st, 2010
I love Lapsang Souchong and Lupicia don't do it any harm! A wonderful smokey aroma and rich flavor without any sour aftertaste. Really satisfying overall, and good with milk too!

GOLD GENMAI-CHA Brown Rice Tea from Maeda-en
Style: Genmaicha – Region: Japan50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2010
A fairly strong, but light aroma, mostly of popcorn, a sort of light, toasty quality. Much less nutty than other genmaicha's. Very little tea presence in the aroma, even using a generous quantity of leaf and brewing longer than recommended. Flavor has an oddly strong savory (umami) quality...almost no bitterness and...

Arya Topaz - Organic Darjeeling Oolong Tea 2009 from Thunderbolt Tea
Style: Darjeeling Oolong – Region: Darjeeling, India53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 28th, 2010
Thank you Synth for sending me this one, and Marlena for sending some more. =)
This tea is VERY difficult to brew well, and is affected in major ways by subtle differences in water temperature and steeping time. That said, I've tried brewing this one multiple ways and I've gotten significantly better at brewing it,...
Golden Osmanthus Oolong (Huang Jin Gui) traditional style from Life in Teacup
Style: Golden Osmanthus – Region: Anxi, Fujian, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 28th, 2010
Mostly floral fragrance. This is the first huang jin gui I've tried, and it really does resemble osmanthus flowers in aroma, but I find it has a very different overall character from osmanthus-scented tea. Also, unusual among light, aromatic, greener oolongs I've had. This tea has some interesting surprises.
I tr...
Zingiber Ginger Coconut Rooibos Tea from Teavana
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 27th, 2010
This is one of my absolute favorite teas. It is a great morning pick-me-up or anytime in the day. It seems more like a treat than a typical beverage.
The flavors are distinct although the ginger doesn't always seem to come through. The aroma is fantastic, and a tough of sugar in the raw or stevia go a long way wi...
Chai from Tetley Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: India37 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
May. 25th, 2010
i didn't enjoy this at all... the smell is boring, the "spice flavors" are practically nonexistent... this tea is just plain disappointing. i used one or two tea bags and then let the canister sit in the darkest recesses of the cupboard for ages.

Three Kingdoms Mao Feng Green Tea from Teavana
Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Fujian, China63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
May. 23rd, 2010
This is a very mild and sweet green tea, similar to Teavana's Pi Lo Chun but less aromatic and perhaps slightly grassier. Pleasing but bordering on bland and boring if brewed as instructed. I find that with a very long steep time (8+ min), however, it acquires nuances in the aroma that are absent otherwise...includin...

May. 22nd, 2010
it's got a silly name, and it does feel a little silly bringing this box out of the cupboard in the cold hard light of January, but it's such a treat! if tea can be "cute," that's what this is! i adore it.

May. 22nd, 2010
i like this better than their blueberry herbal, it has more of a backbone, if that makes any sense. the tanginess of the blueberries comes through much better. it is good hot, but it makes an absolutely amazing iced tea.

i am just your average tea drinker, not really a connoisseur, just a chick who loves tea. this is the only darjeeling i've ever tried, but i really loved it. i remember the first cup i ever drank, it was quite an experience. i was very impressed. the flavor was so... intricate, somehow.
