Golden Orchid from Whispering Pines
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 13th, 2017
The taste starts out rich with notes of cocoa mixing cocoa butter creaminess and rich dark chocolate, this is accompanied by sweet caramelized sugar. At the beginning there is a hint of rich vanilla that builds around the mid-taste, this explodes into a sweet, creamy crescendo at the end which blends perfectly with the...

Golden Orchid from Whispering Pines
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 21st, 2014
This tea is soooo good. The dry tea smells like melted vanilla-flavoured chocolate. That delicious dessert-y experience extends right into the scent of the brewing tea, and then the taste of the tea itself. Rich, chocolatey, creamy, delicious. I've tasted chocolate-flavoured teas that were a lot less chocolatey than th...

Port from Whispering Pines
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 20th, 2014
My first Whispering Pines tea! I chose this in part because I wanted to try the roasted cedar and vanilla bean (and several of the blends with those ingredients were out of stock when I placed my order). This is a really interesting and unique tea. When I first smelled it dry, I couldn’t place any of the flavours...

Mmmm, this is lovely. Smoky, spicy… reminds me of sitting around a campfire on a cool fall evening, after dark, with a cup of chai in my hands.

S'mores! from Whispering Pines
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 23rd, 2014
The dry leaves smell like an autumn evening sitting next to a crackling fire while eating s'mores! There are notes of smoke, cinnamon, marshmallow sweetness, and a finish of rich cocoa. The leaves smell quite rich and not overwhelmingly sweet, just the way I like my desserts!
OMG guys, this tea is too good! It hits ...
Golden Orchid from Whispering Pines
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 16th, 2014
The aroma is so intensely rich and so incredibly sweet, it is a blend of sweet vanilla (real vanilla, not vanilla extract smell) with a warm cocoa, a touch of honey, a pinch of cream, and a finish of sweet dried cherries. I admit when I first sniffed this teas I just kinda sat there in awe, I do not say this very often...

Jun. 28th, 2014
Method: 1/2 tsp, 8 oz, 208 degrees, 5 minutes, French Press
Dry Leaf Aroma: Smells exactly like a campfire
Flavor: Luckily the flavor is more subdued. I was a little unsure if I could like a tea that smelled so strongly of a campfire. This tea definitely tastes smoky, but it's mild enough to be pleasant. Th...

Method: 1.5 tsp, 208 degrees, 8 oz, 5 min, French Press
Dry Aroma: The elderberries are center stage. I don't even smell any cinnamon, which surprised me.

Flavor: Cinnamon is the most obvious flavor. I don't taste the elderberries out...

Bi Luo Chun Yunnan Black from Whispering Pines
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 2nd, 2014
Oh my. This is a good one! The dry tea leaves smell like malty cookies with a hint of jasmine. Malty Jasmine cookies! I want to bake some to go with this tea.
The brewed tea smells less floral and more sweetly malty. And the flavor... it's very sweet on its own, without any additives. I love that. It tastes m...
Traditional Tieguanyin from Whispering Pines
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Fujian, China63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 31st, 2014
This was a good tea, but I wasn't blown away. Interestingly, the dry tea smells like pumpkin guts. That's the second time I've smelled tea leaves with this aroma within a week. It's very pleasant, but I'm a little confused.
That being said, I didn't pick up on any nuances in the flavor. The flavor here seems hea...
Imperial Gold Bud Dian Hong from Whispering Pines
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 22nd, 2014
The dry aroma on this tea is really interesting. It smells malty, and there's a general roasty aroma. It smells like something I have smelled before, but I cannot place the aroma.
The tea steeps to a light yellow amber color and I taste the same malty/roasty type scents from the aroma.
It's a little pricey,...
Port from Whispering Pines
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 14th, 2014
If tea had a gender, I would call this a manly tea. The dry tea smells woody, and I could pick out some hints of grape. Not sure where that came from. There's a warm vanilla scent, and an unidentified note that I believe is the saffron.
The brewed tea smells warm, and reminds me of a cozy night spent reading in...
Golden Orchid from Whispering Pines
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 14th, 2014
Wow, what a tea! I was a little worried because the dry tea smelled like chocolate, but there was also a sharp scent I couldn’t quite identify. Once steeped, I could just smell the chocolate. Yum.
The cocoa flavor is pronounced, but not overpowering. The tea has a lovely sweetness and doesn’t need any additives ...
