Loose Tea

As I continue along my tea journey, I realize that it is not enough to provide you with my personal rating scale for tea; I must also give you an idea of the strength of the tea. The image at left represents my visual attempt to do so through my drawing. With each tea reviewed, I will provide an icon to represent corresponding strength. In most cases green tea would be a milder tea, while black tea will be strong, especially in such cases as Tazo's lovely Awake blend.

Please remember that the tea ratings encompass four areas, as pictured below. Please also remember that my ratings are based on my personal taste buds. They are meant to give you a sense of how I feel about each cup. There is no substitute for your own cup of tea.
