Jul. 26th, 2014
My Morning Maté tastes less like the traditional cup of tea and more like…well, coffee, without the bitterness!

Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 26th, 2014
I used to hate oolong tea. I couldn't tell you the brands I tried in the past, but every cup of oolong I sipped tasted like mud. And, I know most tea-savvy people feel disdain toward Teavana, but I have to say their Six Summits Oolong opened my mind to oolong. That I could enjoy it.
The scent of the dried tea is ple...
Gen Mai Cha from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Genmaicha – Region: China63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 5th, 2012
I was skeptical of the tea because the scent reminded me of Honey Smack cereal (minus most of the sweetness), and I was never too fond of Honey Smacks.
This tea grew on me as is cooled down. When the tea was still hot, all I tasted was the puffed rice, and I couldn’t help but feel like I was drinking watery porri...
Tropical Goji Green from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 5th, 2012
The scent of this tea was so scrummy. It was sweet and fruity, and I was excited to get brewing right away. And let me tell you, the taste of Tropical Goji Green was just as delicious as its smell.
“Flavoring” can be a little tricky because it can overpower the tea, but in this tea it was a nice balance. The fl...
Ooooh Darjeeling from Adagio Teas
Style: Darjeeling Oolong – Region: Darjeeling, India70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 25th, 2012
The scent of the leaves is delicate to me– slightly sweet and earthy, but I didn’t really taste either of these once brewed. Ooooh Darjeeling is unlike any oolong tea I’ve had. It doesn’t have that earthy aroma like most oolong teas I have tried. Instead, it tasted more like a black tea but not as strong and wi...

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 23rd, 2012
This tea had the most buttery and sugary and nutty aroma. These were the things that popped into my head: burnt sugar. Creme Brule. Multi-grain pancakes (smothered in butter and warm syrup, of course). Notice how none of those say “chestnut”? That's because I've never had a chestnut, so I can't say whether or not t...
