40 Tasting Notes
This is a strong grainy Oolong. Overall, I am not overly satisfied and would not consider this one of my staples. This is a tea that I would crave on a fall day but not everyday. It has a bit of a earthy/grainy taste to it.
Preparation
As far as Earl Grey goes, this is probably the best I have ever had. It has a bit of a citrus taste to it and a very relaxing effect to it. It works well for multiple steeps. I am on my second cup and the flavor of the tea is still perfect.
Flavors: Citrus, Flowers
Preparation
To date, this is the one of the best, if not the best tea I have ever made. It is very smooth and silky with a milky / buttery taste to it. This tea works great for multiple steeps. I have been drinking mine all night long and it still has a fantastic flavor to it. I have heard you can steep this tea up to 8 times. I am on 3 and it has shown no signs of finishing.
Flavors: Butter, Milk, Smooth
Preparation
Great mild green with a bit of a kick from the Pomegranate. I steeped mine for three minutes, but I am eager to steep for a little more. I think it could be a bit stronger.
Flavors: Fruity, Green
Preparation
Nice flavor, however it’ s a little hard to taste any of the tea leaves. Maybe the place that brewed it for me didn’t do it right. Overall, it’s fruity and delicious!
Flavors: Blueberry, Sage
Preparation
This brand offers mixed results. However, I am fairly pleased with this green. Honestly, I know there are much better options, and I will most likely explore those options but for a first tea purchase I was fairly satisfied. I would drink this again, and I would recommend this tea for a new tea drinker but probably not an established tea enthusiast.
Flavors: Green
Preparation
I do not like this tea. I have had it plain without enjoyment. I mixed it with hibiscus with partial enjoyment. I mixed it with organic dried banana slices and coconut and strongly disliked it. I will not purchase this tea again.
Flavors: Vanilla
Preparation
Although technically not a tea, this is my favorite fruit blend I have had. It is a bit sour, but pleasantly so. You can taste the cherry, but I don’t particularly taste the vanilla. If you add a lime, it increases the the score from 90 to 95….Simply amazing!
Flavors: Flowers, Fruity, Herbs, Pleasantly Sour
Preparation
Ku Cha is a nice little tea house. By the way, the Rocky Mountian Tea Festival is at the Dushanbe on August 2,3. I’d go on Saturday when you can taste tea free with the vendors. The tea classes are $15 and the Oolong class is good. (I’m going to try the Indian tea this year).
