A straight well balanced earl grey with citrus, bergamot and slightly bitter taste, good for 3 infusions. For me, it is strong enough. A tea can you can drink on a daily basis. Kusmi Tea offers other earl grey, for example the earl grey intense. WATER USED: Nestlé Pur Life

1st brew (3:40 Sec.) : A Bold medium bodied tea that taste like a dark chocolate camphor mix with sourness and bitterness. As you drink it, the bitterness and sourness decreased, however the dark chocolate notes increased. The 2nd brew (4:25 Sec.) : everything taste the same as the first brew but stronger at the start but fade out and change to a sweet malty flavour with slightly dark chocolate taste. At the end of the second cup the teas is really sweet. Finally, 3rd brew (5:10 Sec.) : Smooth, slightly earthy and sweet.

Spring is here, let drink sencha, this one feel watery and juicy in the mouth. Bought from World of Tea in Ottawa, this one is better for me than the sencha Yakushima since it is less grassy. It kick off with a sweet nutty flavour that end with vegetal and grassy notes. This tea has a good balance between the sourness, sweetness and grassiness. This is the only two sencha that I tasted so far, so I can’t compare much with the other ones. WATER USED: Nestle Pure Life

Medium bodied with a little bit of dryness. Light notes of smoke damp earth and subtle bitterness. As it cool down and brew more cup, malt flavour appear with some sweetness. WATER USED: Nestle Pure Life

Smokey, Earthy, a little bit vegetal and smell like melon with some dryness. The smokey taste are not too much overwhelming, as you brew hotter the smokiness increase. I recommend to brew 250 ml of water around 200F (92.5°C) and steep the leaves for 1 min. 40 Sec and at 195F for 1 min. 30 sec. if you don’t want the smokiness. Add 25 sec. for subsequent brew. At time you can taste a little bit of honey with slightly bitterness. There is an aftertaste that I like but I cannot identify. As it get colder you can taste the minerals. Medium finish with a good balance, sweetness increase as you brew additional cup. WATER USED: Nestle Pure Life

This is a mandarin pu’erh tea bought in canada, Ontario, Ottawa at the rideau center, it is very sweet, mellow, malty with subtle tangy citrus mandarin notes and a bit of dryness. Usually it is a mandarin fill with pu’erh tea. However, this one is mix with either mandarin chunk or maybe they flavouring it with mandarin. WATER USED: Nestle Pure Life
