20 Tasting Notes
Very dark tea in color, taste is classic Yunnan but with some strong hints of Shu like notes….and the aftertaste is kind of like the aftertaste of a good cigar …its an odd little bagged tea but a good one!
Flavors: Malt, Oak, Tobacco
Preparation
Not bad for a bagged tea…just something I got on a whim after seeing it in a store, smells good , medium level of bergamot , mild flavor , smooth black tea in the background with hardly no bitter notes . Good for when you feel like making something fast and easy and nothing involved.
Flavors: Bergamot
Preparation
First Steep – This Tea is heavy in Assam , though, with most blends with assam’s the bold one . Ceylon in the background more with a winey note that I can assume is the Sikkim..its a good Breakfast Style tea .
Flavors: Malt
Preparation
I tried this from a sample that a fellow member sent me …and this was the worst tea I have every had. It tasted like raw eggplant/squash mixed with ivory soap and my teaware never touchs any soap of any kind.
Preparation
I’m sorry to hear you didn’t like it. Bi Luo Chun is one of my favorite green teas. I don’t think I’ve had TeaVivre’s, though.
I want to try another tasting of this to see what the issue was last time…mine is the only low score here so I think something happened to my tea ware
Tried this after visiting Teavana last night at the local mall…It’s tart so be aware of that…and its heavy on the black currant and the hibby…but i can’t really taste much of the other berries. There’s a hint of raspberry in the scent…as it cools off the tartness mellows some, tho to be honest this tastes more like a tisane then tea..the white tea was just overwhelmed . I love Black Currant and don’t mind the Hib..so thats why I gave it an 85…the smell of the tea in the tin tho is a solid 100.
