drank Midori Sencha by American Tea Room

I was so happy that ATR sent me this as a sample because it’s one of the others I wanted to try!
I might have not brewed it correctly because it ended up too bitter and the melon is a bit too strong for me. I will try again before rating =)

2nd steep: So it was much more drinkable this time, but the melon flavor really isn’t doing it for me, I didn’t really enjoy it.

Not as amazing as everyone makes it out to be, but definitely an enjoyable tea!
It’s nice to have chocolate without caffeine :D
Maybe I will try using more leaf next time and see if that makes it more full bodied.

This one is definitely getting bought again in the future…
The jasmine isn’t too intense and overall it’s just sweet, floral, and medium bodied.
Awesome =D

Chai is always good…. yuummmm
I made this using the stove method since I was home. There were some minor mishaps since I’m not a cook but it came out nice! =)

Even though this tea has sencha, the black tea dominates and the only thing the sencha did was maybe make the black tea less strong. My family really enjoyed it =)

I like that about this tea, the way the black and green mix…it is different, that’s for sure.

I’m not a huge fan of black tea but I enjoyed this one. It had a certain spicy-ness to it that was pretty great.

Sarah Ruthven

I think the spicy-ness is the basil…I love that aspect of this tea.

This tea was really similar to sunny passion except that it seems to focus more on one flavor: pineapple. This is another refreshing and very enjoyable tea. I need to decide whether I want to order this or sunny passion! Flavored green teas = yum.

Bio

My favorite teas are Taiwan high mountain, Anxi, Wuyi, and dancong oolongs. I also need my deep steamed sencha every now and then. I’m not totally into flavoreds but I’m always up for interesting flavors (like ATR’s Nirvana and Toasted Fig). My favorite natural flavors are roasted and floral.

I have a BA in Biochemistry from Smith College with a minor in Japanese. I have a Masters of Bioscience from Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, CA.

I love J-R&B and J-Urban and used to do a radio show on WOZQ Northampton, MA. I also play WoW (Aireene on Proudmoore).
