Tea received at a discount for review
Having tried a handful of Japanese teas from Yunomi, I was excited to try more! I will be trying a sencha, gyokro, and a hojicha. Let’s go!
Beach House Tea Company: Peninsula High Tide
Description: “Peninsula High Tide is 100% organic loose leaf tea and crafted with organic peony white tea, rose hips and sweetened with organic Washington peaches” – via Amoda Monthly Box
Nepali Tea Traders: Nepalese Silver Tips White Tea and Himalayan Golden Black Tea
The original intention for this review was to taste a white, green, and black tea from Nepali Tea Traders. However, I received the same green tea, Emerald Spring, in my Amoda Tea monthly box, so I gave it its own review.
Aromatica Fine Teas: Sea Breeze
Description: “A sweet citrus infusion with hints of spicy ginger, refreshing mint and delicious apple.” – via Amoda Monthly Box
Urbal Tea: Lemon Spearmint Energy, Kiwi Strawberry Energy, and Good Sport
Every so often, I come across brands that sound like they have unique blends, and Urbal Tea is one of them! I found the brand while scrolling through Tumblr, and Nick, the founder of Urbal Tea, offered to send me some samples to try. I will be trying 3 tisane blends today, and leaving 3 for another day!
Nepali Tea Traders: Emerald Spring Green Tea
Description: “It is a mild green tea, yet has some definite complexities to the flavour and aroma.” – via Amoda Monthly Box
Teabox: Selim Hill Classic Summer Green Tea, Barnesbeg Summer Green Tea, and Wah Classic Spring Green Tea
A few weeks ago, I tried a flight of white teas from Teabox. Since I’ve only ever had a few white teas, I was surprised at how different each one was! This week is green teas from the same brand. I grouped these three together based on the palate profile provided by the company which noted that these teas all had a vegetable or green taste.
MiCacao: Natural Cacao Tea
Description: “Herbal chocolate tea made from the shell of the cacao bean.”
52Teas: Watermelon Houjicha, Rosemary Tangerine Green Tea, and Blueberry Mojito Green Tea
52Teas is a brand I came across when I was looking for blended teas and the brand was highly recommended online. I loved the concept of 52Teas: “…a new small batch custom blended hand-crafted tea EVERY WEEK!” The mother/daughter team took the company over from another tea vendor and used Kickstarter to raise the capital needed.
Sloane Fine Tea Merchants: Perfectly Pear
Description: “Asian pears are so refreshing, crisp and sweet that they go well with the warm floral and slight earthiness of the white tea.” – via Amoda Monthly Box
