I did score some tea when I was in NOLA. Two kinds of Tazo from Whole Foods, three loose leafs from a local tea shop, and one bag of Intelligentsia’s jasmine (at O’Hare, but it counts). This is the first Tazo – I figured it would be nice to have some easily drunk bagged greens for …

flavored green tea
Jasmin Chung Hao – Forgeron & Blanc
This one has grown on me a little bit, to be honest – it smells so completely delicious and I find more complexity in it flavour wise, too. At the same time, it’s hard to tell to what extent this is a quality tea – maybe it’s just bells and whistles and I’m falling for it. I …
Chestnut – Lupicia
How utterly weird – this is so much closer to what I expected the Milk Caramel I tried yesterday to be. And may I say wow. This is a very impressive tea. In the bag it smells like a gooey, chestnutty bread pudding. There is a toffee-like quality to it, too, which carries through right …
Houji Fruits – Lupicia
Oh, oh, oh, so nice. You remember that little Apricot Houji burial that took place at Fiumicino a while back? This one has that same perfectly balanced smooth houijicha base with the addition of fruitiness. Comparing this to the apricot is somewhat unfair – in that tea, one fruit was allowed the full range of …
Milk Caramel – Lupicia
This is interesting – I bought this with very low expectations, as it sounds so generic – I mean, caramel this or caramel that seems to be in everything – it’s hardly a novelty. Then again, it’s Lupicia, so I absolutely had to try it. In the bag, this is a boozefest – a very …
Montagne de Jade – Mariage Frères
I’m so unteaful right now it’s silly. I had a pot of this the other day; it was really nice and made me want more tea, but then I… didn’t have more tea. I don’t know if it’s because I relate tea drinking so much to writing tasting notes now. At the moment all the …
Thé des Impressionnistes – Mariage Frères
Okay, so I had a pot of this today, and it’s a little too perfumey and handcreamy for a whole pot, at least that early in the morning. Boiling, 1 min 30.
Paradise Green – Lupicia
I started my day with a pot of this and more strawberries. And banan(n)a. Today was a two-fruit day. Also, Facebook tells me, the day The Breakfast Club met for detention 30 years ago! I don’t know if I’m more excited about that, the multi-fruit situation, or this tea. This one was actually tastier than …
Bravissimo! – Lupicia
Really? I am SERIOUSLY the only person to review this on the tea forum, still? This is such a gorgeous tea, and I wish more people would try it. It’s so well-balanced and delicately, sweetly floral, all the while carried by that nice, light base tea Lupicia do so well. I made myself a whole pot of this …
Jasmin Chung Hao – Forgeron & Blanc
M left today, many sads. She seemed to be in good spirits, though, but maybe it was just pre-panic, seeing as she is terrified of flying. I’m really not. But she’s cute when she freaks out. Anyway, we split a pot of this and it was nice. Then she tricked me into carrying her suitcase. Classic …
