721 Tasting Notes

80

What am I doing with my life right now.
So I moved to Florida because of an internship and I only managed to bring like half my teas with me and I’ve already drank them all so now I’m blending them together and tonight is LESTRADE WITH CARAMEL AND IRISH BREAKFAST. It’s okay. But I just want the rest of my tea now. And I know I can’t buy more because I’ll have to bring them back home when my internship ends.
THE STRUGGLE THAT IS MY LIFE.

Oohhh this tea. It was nice! I was a bit muskier than I expected. It was just a smidge brighter than the traditional English Breakfast.

drank Masala Chai by Adagio Teas

I wanted to experiment so I decided to brew this just just milk. I usually brew it with water and then add like 982374 gallons of milk because this chai on its own is just.. ehh okay. So milk on the stovetop with a scoop of chai is pretty good! Had to add a little bit of sugar but this is still a pretty good chai :)

Ohhhh this is good. It tastes a bit like Earl Grey without the bergamot? I think? Or maybe a blend of Earl Grey and English Breakfast. Either way, it’s gooood.
I accidentally steeped this longer than it should have and it turned out to be very bitter, Nothing but a bit of plain old water to fix that! I’m drinking this plain right now. It’s good on its own. Doesn’t need milk or sugar; just a nice simple tea :)
**drinking it a bit more and it has a very slight nutty taste.

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 15 sec

drank Caramel by Adagio Teas

I really don’t know how I feel about this tea.
Like it did taste like caramel but.. ehh it was just okay. There are some teas that belong in blends and this is one of them.

Boiling 3 min, 30 sec

drank Acai Berry by Zhena's Gypsy Tea
721 tasting notes

I don’t know how to feel about this tea… I’m not the biggest fan of fruity teas and I’ve never had Açai before and it’s interesting. It’s a wee bit too fruity and sweet for me.
One tea bag is only good for one steeping.

Boiling 5 min, 0 sec

Chamomile alone is okay. I’ve had other chamomile blends where the chamomile was overpowering the other flavours. This blend, however, oh the chamomile was there, but I was able to taste the other flavours as well! The rose kinda got lost a bit after the second steeping, but overall a very wonderful flowery blend :)

Preparation

drank White Peony by Adagio Teas

Oh my gosh. I don’t know if I like this one or Snowbud more, but ahhhh I love this tea!
I love how it’s not like super grassy like the other white teas that I’ve had. This is like the perfect flavour. It’s like the big sister of Snowbud :)

Tea rating guide:
100-95: Best thing to ever touch my mouth and I want more. Restocking is a must
94-80: Love this tea. Restock if I can
79-70: Decent tea. Neither love nor hate.
69-60: I won’t be upset when it runs out. I’ll drink it but won’t restock.
59-30: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea and I’ll finish the cup.
29-10: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea. It may or may not have gone down the sink…
9-below: Let’s not even hide it. This definitely went down the drain.

I love tea.
I drink it.
I log it.
I have a good time.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I first discovered my love for tea with jasmine teas because that’s all my mother would buy, so for the longest time, I thought that all teas were jasmine! And then in 4th grade, I watched the tea episode of Good Eats and that’s when the education started! I’d like to blame Alton Brown for starting this obsession because now I only like loose leaf tea.
It wasn’t until my second year of college that I actually expanded my tea taste buds. Special shout out to Cara McGee, Tea Queen for her Adagio Fandom blends. Because of Cara, I actually started drinking blacks, herbals and whites and pretty much everything else in between. I still have a special love for my jasmine though :)
I (try to) drink tea daily. Usually just straight up, no sugar or milk. This little obsession started young and just… kept going, I guess.

also I apologize in advance for lazy tasting notes and horrible grammar in everything I write. I was an avid fandom blogger on tumblr and tumblr talk can get in the way of everything kthxbai
