Satori Tea Company

A favorite tea. Roses.

Second Steep
8 ounces water + 200 degrees + 14 minutes

I definitely taste some nuttiness this time around, maybe almonds?

I love this tea. The fragrance is so comforting. It will always be in my cupboard.

Second Steep
6 ounces water + 200 degrees + 16 minutes

I almost lost this one to my keyboard. I don’t know which would have bummed me out more, spilling tea in my keyboard or not having tea. :(

I love this. It’s all floral roses and strong, dark tea. It’s such a lovely combination. It actually reminds me of the Lebanese desserts my grandmother used to make growing up. Honey and cream make this a near perfect cup.

Second Steep
8 ounces water + 212 degrees + 10 minutes

I can still taste the rose, but it’s not as strong or as dark as the first cup. It’s definitely still satisfying though.

This tea smells so wonderful. I just love the combination of strawberries and black tea. It reminds me of Teavana’s Strawberry Slender Puerh which is one of my favorites. Actually, probably my very favorite. It’s been a while since I’ve had this one, though I’m not sure why since I remember enjoying it before. The main difference I think between this one and the Strawberry Slender is the floral aspect. It tastes like rose water even though I don’t detect that in the aroma. The smell is all fruit and berries.

Second Steep
6 ounces water + 212 degrees + 10 minutes

Mmm. This cup is nice and sweet.

Third Steep
6 ounces water + 212 degrees

I let this one steep for several minutes, maybe as many as 20 minutes. The color of the liquid is a much lighter shade and the fruit bits mixed with the tea have swelled and plumped enough to distinguish them as stone fruits. I bit into one and it tasted of peach or maybe nectarine. The steeped tea still has some flavor but I’ll probably stop here since it may be getting a little weaker.

This is one of three teas I ordered from Satori and the first I’ve had the opportunity to try. I brewed a full pot over the weekend to share with my brother who was over for a visit. He loved it and drank over half the pot on his own, but my husband didn’t really care for it. I thought it was really something special.

Aside from the tea itself, the dry mix includes bits of fruit and brightly colored pieces that look much like saffron. Red, orange, yellow – almost neon in color and very beautiful. The final cup is sweet and floral to taste and has a lingering flavor that brings to mind rosewater. Creamy and fragrant and somewhat exotic, this is an indulgent cup perfect for a cozy afternoon at home.

I loved that this tea was naturally sweet with a spice kick! I enjoy it on the cool side.
It’s a great tea, but then again, I am a vata personality!

I picked this tea for it’s light scent hoping I would get something mild yet nice. While the tea was mild, there was a very grassy taste associated with it. There wasn’t any other elements that I noticed beyond that.

Very mild and light tasting. Really lacked a lot of the bolder Earl Grey elements that I normally look for when I get Earl Grey. The soymilk and sugar I added was unable to jazz up the tea.
