316 Tasting Notes
This tea is actually really good with some sugar, it’s smooth and sweet. This is probably the best straight tea I’ve had in a while. It’s too bad that it is so darn expensive! It’s $20 per 50g… Which is why I used my last frequent steeper reward on it. At least it’s a good tea – obviously good quality. I can taste some of the fruity notes, but I’m not sure which ones. The reason I got this is because of its fruitier notes which is odd for a straight oolong. I think I’m tasting the ripe plum notes to it. I like it. I steeped the same leaves twice already and it’s still just as yummy.
Flavors: Plums, Smooth
Preparation
Saved my one and only sample of this for my birthday today. This reminds me of something else I’ve tried. But this is really good. I taste the banana, and a nice chocolatey background, I like this as a black tea. The more recent banana/chocolate teas have been rooibos, or mate, and I’m not a big fan of those types. So I really think they should bring this one back. It’s really yummy!
Flavors: banana, Chocolate
Preparation
This is one of the teas I really fell in love with once I got my hands on it. Since it’s my birthday today I am having some of my favourite discontinued teas! This be one of them!
I’m almost guaranteed to love anything ‘Peaches & Cream’ flavour! This tea is very light and peachy. I can taste the light vanilla flavour too, which is nice. (I don’t usually like vanilla) But I just love this tea. I was so lucky to have DavidsTea send me some extra stock they found of this in their warehouse. :D There’s also a creamy and sweet note to this tea, and I love it.
Flavors: Creamy, Peach, Vanilla
Preparation
Yep, this is cinnamon-y, alright. It’s not something I would buy, but since I had it from last years advent calendar, I decided to finish it off. (Well, mostly) This is a very strong tea, and it mainly tastes like cinnamon, also a little spicy and of course sweetness, but that’s pretty much it.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Spicy
Preparation
Just got my 50g in the mail, and brewed up a hot cup to try. This is an expensive tea – so it better be good. I don’t mind this tea. I can taste a little note of brown sugar – as it said. Not sure about the ripe fruit though.
It’s a little sweet, and overall I really like it as a black tea – it’s better than some others I’ve had, for sure.
Flavors: Brown Sugar
Preparation
Finally getting around to trying this. This tea has so many different things in it – and the dry leaf seemed very bulky. I don’t know exactly what those ball shaped things are… Maybe the fig? Not sure. Anyway, This tea smells kind of like kool-aid, HOT KOOL-AID XD

Anyway – I can taste the cherries, and some of the carrot I think. Maybe some of the watermelon too? It definitely tastes fruity. As it cooled down I could taste the peony petals more. It’s a pretty good tea – would probably be better if it wasn’t so old.
Flavors: Apple, Carrot, Cherry, Fig, Fruit Punch, Fruity, Melon
Preparation
There are not too many pu’erh teas I enjoy – but there are a few. This has to be one of them. At first, I only liked this as a latte, but today I decided to make it hot with a little milk and sugar. (Though it could’ve done with a little less sugar) This is a nice chocolatey tea, with a nice creaminess to it. I think I’ll find myself enjoying this more throughout the winter.
Flavors: Chocolate, Creamy
Preparation
I really love this tea. I only recently tried it, and I don’t know why I didn’t try it sooner. It’s delicious. The ginger is very warming, and there’s a perfect balance between that, and the pear. Still trying to find the perfect steep time for it – but either way it’s good. I also enjoy this tea iced as well as hot. Overall, this is very yummy.
Flavors: Ginger, Pear
Preparation
I’ve been putting off trying my sample pack of this, because I’m trying to sipdown so many other teas I have. This tea is definitely sweet. Wasn’t sure what to expect on this one. The smell reminded me of Mocha Latte, but it doesn’t taste like it. I can taste chocolate, and sort of caramel… But mostly the cocoa beans and husk. Obviously the sprinkles make it sweeter than normal. I’m also not really a fan of rooibos, so this isn’t one that I would buy again.
Flavors: Caramel, Chocolate, Cocoa, Sweet
