Teas Etc

The roobios overwelmed the chocolate and yerba mate. But I’t still was not too bad.

The rose overpowered tea white tea and this tasted like perfume.

This I’s a good tasting white tea.

This I’s black tea with vanilla pieces. I’t smells like a nice black tea with a good smelling vanilla. You can clearly see the ingredients. I steeped the tea for a couple or so minutes. The taste I’s a good black tea with a natural good tasting vanilla. This tea I’s pretty good.

This was too vegatal to me.

This I’s a nice black tea with a medium peach flavor.

Green tea,orange peel,orange flowers. You can see a nice green tea and the orange peel and flowers. I did not steep the tea very long. It brewed up to a nice green. The taste a light green tea with a medium orange flavor. I think I’t was pretty good.

This has honeybush,lemongrass,and lemonmytle. This smells mostly like lemon. I steeped this up. This tastes like strong lemon with honeybush. The lemon in here I’s just too strong for me. So this I’s just decent.

A mellow lingering taste of excellant Yunnan.

Gen Mai Cha is without a doubt one of the best teas I’ve been able to pick up on my home turf. It’s got a very natural flavour – no additives – and the roasted rice blend perfectly with the green tea. Very enjoyable.

I’m not sure which brand I’m drinking since it comes from a rebranded package, but to be honest I’ve not sensed much of a difference between different Gen Mai Chas.

Best enjoyed with a purring cat in your lap. A perfect complement.

Nothing remarkable

This wasn’t delicate at all, I felt like I as drinking potpouri :( Will have to retry with a different water temp.

This is one of my favorite green tea blends. It’s a great combination of fruits, ginger and chiles. The taste and aroma have a slight sharpness from the spices. Great for multiple steepings.

I’ve been raised to believe that adding anything to green tea is utter blasphemy, but today, out of curiosity, I decided to experiment a little in an attempt to do something new with a familiar tea. I added some honey to my mug and I was pleasently surprised by the results. The honey smoothes out both the tang of the lemongrass and the pungency of the gingerroot and meshes very nicely with the tea as a whole.

Backlogging – go see my older tasting notes.

This tea tastes more like a herbal tisane than a flavoured green tea, but I’m not really fussed over it. The two cups I had with breakfast went down nicely and the lemon flavour and the ginger flavour are both well-balanced and not too powerful.

You know, I love that this can be drunk as a medicinal tea but it still tastes great – there aren’t many teas or tisanes that can say that!

I drank two cups of this after supper tonight. The first steep, for 3 minutes, was a little weak, so on the second I steeped it for five minutes which tasted much better. It had also taken the edge off of the ginger the second time ‘round so that it was only a nice, pleasently-warm compliment to the tea instead of the spicy, dominating flavour (although still not nearly as strong as a lot of other ginger teas I’ve tried) it was on the first steep.

My stomach was a little unsettled after supper and drinking this made me feel much better. I added a bit of extra green tea so its taste is more distinct than last time.

No bad, though the green tea is rather hard to taste. The ginger isn’t as overpowering as I feared it would be and the lemongrass adds a nice accent to it.

best tea ever. the one you’ll never forget.

I really like the “bird’s nest” shape and it makes me feel extra special to unwrap each individual nest, like each one is it’s own little package made just for me. The liquor is a nice deep brown and the nose on it is nice too. Similar in taste to a black tea but with a deeper earthy sense, an almost root-like taste (in a good way). This seems like a good tea for classic tea drinkers, no bells and whistles…just straight tea flavor.

A great mellow taste with nice floral accents.
