Uhm, nom. This smells delicious in the bag, like a bamboo caramel fruit cup (although I have a feeling that particular flavor combination wouldn’t exactly fly out of the fruit cup aisle). I kind of adore this, although I steeped it very sloppily, so it might just be a happy mistake. I mainly get bamboo …

Green Rhubarb Cream – A.C. Perch’s
It’s no coincidence I picked this as my second tea to try from that massive gift batch from T – rhubarb is something I love growing in my garden and cooking with – I’ll even get excited about rhubarb cordials and lemonades, but in tea? Firstly, I feel much of the complexity of the rhubarb …
White Mulberry – A.C. Perch’s
I’m feeling a little like Veronica Mars here (channeling Goodfellas), but this really is one of those, just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in! moments. You know – you sit there, all smug, having logged all the teas in your cupboard. And then it happens. Mail time. SBLAM! Your lovely darling friend T… …
Bravissimo! – Lupicia
This is so beautifully floral – if I weren’t already a fan of floral teas, this would make me a believer, I’m sure of it. And it’s so pretty! I’d wear this tea as jewelry; I really would. I know I’m drinking a lot of tea today, but there was a massive thunderstorm (even by …
Tokio – Lupicia
I attempted a pitcher of this iced, much like I did with Paradise Green (also from Lupicia) the other day. This was also very good – but not as good as Paradise Green, which I also have rated slightly higher. So, as opposed to A.C. Perch’s White Temple, which went from good to divine after …
Samurai Chai Maté – Teavana
So this is the fourth and final tea from the gift pack I first talked about in this post: http://gluttonette.com/?p=265. Today is an important day; it’s Swedish Cinnamon Roll Day! Please go honor this sacred occasion by procuring a suitable cinnamon pastry this very instant. And as I can’t get anything even remotely similar today (Seriously, …
Apricot Houji – Lupicia
Okay. So FINALLY I’m getting around to writing tasting notes for those last tricky teas in my cupboard. This is one of very few bagged teas I own. I got it on sale when I did my big Lupicia run in Hawaii; I’m generally a little cautious with flavoured roasty teas, mostly because they’re confusing to my …
Thé à l’Opéra – Mariage Frères
This was just as beautiful as the last time around – a light, elegant, floral pick-me-up. It’s struck me on several occasions that many of these greens from Mariage Frères would probably be excellent iced, but somehow they appeal to me more brewed hot. I think back at chilly winters in Paris, I guess, whereas …
La Poire – Palais des Thés
This was not, in fact, the one I dropped into the pitcher (see the previous note) but I’m going to give it its five points back, because I’ve had massive cravings for this one lately. I feel like I’m cheating, because I usually write one tasting note per… what? What do I call it? Leaf …
Paradise Green – Lupicia
Right, so someone on Steepster recently talked about wanting to try this one iced, so I figured I’d be a helpful little tea reviewer and give it a shot. And I did. And forgot about it completely. So I think this cold-steeped for a little over 24 hours. I assumed there would be at least …
