3:15PM Milk Tea Original Milk Tea

This is pretty interesting. We love milk tea and this was an original flavor. There were a few other flavors and I am sure we will try them out at some point. So you heat up or boil some water and put it in your mug/cup. Then you put one of these tea bags in it and let it steep. It has the tea and dry milk powder I guess but it actually taste pretty good. I really want to try the others. It shows on the side of the box on what to do if you want it iced or what not. I'd get it again, but more flavors next for sure!

Jasmin Tea Fujian Tea Import & Export Co.

This tea has a strong fragrance about it. I actually end up using some other black or green loose tea leaves to mellow it out. Essentially it is just black tea that has been heavily scented with jasmine. In small doses it is pretty good but I do have to water it down or use other teas with. There are larger cans of this but I got the small can. The can is nice and I like the color, keeps the aroma inside and not all over. 

yummm

Muscle and Joint Comfort Tea Dietary supplement

I picked this up at the local Asian market because I had some muscle and joint pain related to post surgery. I'm not sure if it actually helped but id did taste good and also soothed me out. I am not sure I will buy this specific tea again but it is enjoyable. There are more teas from the same manufacture that I might try first before coming back. 

Yamamotoyama Green Tea Sushi Bar Style

Yamamotoyama makes some good tea that is for sure. This is there Green Tea Sushi Bar Style. It has a nice green tea flavor and I leave it in long for the strong flavor. Gosh you can open the bottom of the box and pull out individual bags. Green Tea is always good for you. I didn't get a chance to take the picture when I first bought this because we flew through it fast. This is number 2 and we would buy another as soon as this one is over. Probably one of the best plain green tea bags that I have had. If I don't want to make anything with my loose tea leaves, this is it. 

meiji Meltyblend Royal Milk Tea

Meltyblend from Meiji is so delicious. Gosh we got three flavors and this was one of them. It is a small little festive looking box with individual packaged squares that are just the right size to enjoy. They really do melt on your tongue and mouth. They are incredibly enjoyable and chocolaty. The milk tea flavor is light but noticeable. It works well with the candy and is worth the buy. It was a $3 box though. 

YUMMMMM

Kirin Peach Tea

Aww man I love Kirin drinks, like their Royal Milk Tea. This is a peach tea that I came across the local market. It is a light pink color and has a peach taste. Not bad, I would get it again for sure. It has some tea but reminded me more of juice. 0 calories, 100% delicious. 

JDB Jiaduobao Herbal Tea

More herbal tea. I got this almost he same time I got that other random herbal tea. Heck these might be the exact same things because they sure did taste the same way. This had more English on it and the other might have been for another country. Different packaging might not mean different drink. They are both red cans so who knows. Long story short it is the same taste I got as the other that is reviewed before this one. Not a big herbal tea guy and this left a bad taste afterwards. Ms. Noodle didn't like it either. Pass people...just pass on it.

Random Herbal Tea

I have no clue the brand really or what the can says. I picked it up as a gamble and once I tried it realized that it is canned herbal tea. I tried something very similar that week and tasted just about the same. Not really into herbal tea but left a bad aftertaste in the mouth. I would pass on this if I were you but maybe my pallet isn't made for herbal tea. It might have been badly expired...

Lucia Thai Tea

You ever get a Thai ice tea in the restaurant. Well this is a great alternative if you don't know how to make it authentically. The can is large and give you lots of drink. I you leave it in the fridge or pour it over ice, or both is probably better. Great color and it is like Thai Ice tea, probably as close as you can get to it in a can. Shake it up as well. If you are craving that taste then I would recommend it, 320 calories for the can and 22% of your total carbs right there though.

  

 

YamaMotoYama Sen-cha Green Tea loose

YamaMotoYama company was founded in 1690 but was established in the USA in 1975. I grabbed this because it is a Japanese company and I love tea and I also was running out of loose tea. This bag and another one that I got was manufactured in Canada of all places from Yamamotoyama USA. 

These bags have some great tea inside. It is the only "cheap" bag of loose plain green tea that I can find around town. By plain I mean that the local tea stores that sell in ounces have mixes of their teas but some of them have sencha and other types of green tea but you are paying a few dollars per 2 ounces or so. This bag lasts for awhile and I make hot tea with it I'm my pot to serve but I mostly use it to brew a large batch of green tea for the refrigerator as I love iced green tea from time to time. I make regular ice tea (black tea) but green tea is better for you I believe. Get this stuff if you can and make some ice tea, you wont be disappointed. 

             

Tradition Best Oolong tea

Tradition Brand tea again, last time we have barley and we liked it so much that we would give the Oolong Tea a try. Pour yourself a boiling cup of water and drop the bag in it for 3-5 minutes for some Oolong. Can use the bag again if you like. To let you know Oolong Tea, it is most likely given to you at a Chinese Restaurant where you ask for a pot of hot tea. If it isn't regular black tea it is most likely Oolong. Oolong is a traditional Chinese tea and means black dragon. If you enjoy getting the pot of tea at a Chinese restaurant then you will like this. It taste like I'm sitting in one now. Actually, they restaurant might even be using this specific brand for their pots!
You should get it for it's nice texture and mild taste. Great with a snack or a meal or if you want to drink some.

Traditional Brand is from Good Young Co.,LTD.

Meiji Roasted Barley Tea

Coming in nice big size pouches, we have Meiji's Roasted Barley Tea! Now this doesn't taste like the Tradition Brand one or the other branded one that we didn't like. It falls somewhere in between probably because it is roasted. I used two of the bags to make a rather large pitcher of this tea and only have tried it thus far as iced tea. It was refreshing and a change from my iced black tea that I make. It has a distinct taste where you taste the barley but it has a slight chocolate taste in there like the Barley tea that we reviewed before that was bottled. I grabbed it because Meiji is known for their chocolate and other snacks but this was interesting. I think I still prefer Traditional Brand more but lets see after my third or fourth pitcher

YamaMotoYama Hojicha Roasted Green Tea Loose

YamaMotoYama company was founded in 1690 but was established in the USA in 1975. I grabbed this because it is a Japanese company and I love tea and I also was running out of loose tea. This bag and another one that I got was manufactured in Canada of all places from Yamamotoyama USA.

This is some great Hoji-cha, which is Roasted Green Tea. It gives it a more earthy taste then just regular green tea. It is bitter but also has that burnt flavor. The color that it produces is a bit more brown then green tea. I have used it for hot tea and also to brew a large pot to chill it for later consumption. I enjoy my tea dark and usually let it steep for long period of time. I generally try to get all I can out of it and this is something you don't want to sweeten (I don't think). 

Worth the money to get.

Dried Honey Suckle - Taishan Company

So Ms. Noodle and I noticed some Dried Honey Suckle in the market when we were looking for tea. It was $1 so we grabbed it and decided to use it in our tea balls with tea. I have yet tried it just as it's own but always with my green tea. It is nice with the green tea, although I mostly taste the green tea. I am indifferent about it until I try it alone. I wouldn't go out of the way to add it to the green tea or black tea (what not). I am not sure as what other uses it might have. I would have to ask Ms. Noodle about that.
Will update when I try it alone or find other uses for it.

Suntory Iyemon Koime (Green Tea)

This is some Bottled Green Tea from Suntory which is a major company. It is a MAJOR beverage company that produces a lot of products. Suntory was founded in 1899. They make the BOSS coffee that I am a fan off and a few other great beverages including alcohol.
Enough about Suntory as a company, what they have here is there Green Tea. Great looking bottle, black with some green on the sides. This is a great green tea cold, it is somewhere between Ito En's green tea and dark green tea. There is a lot of flavor but not enough to meet the dark green tea of Ito En. It was refreshing to pour down the throat. I love some green tea and it is unsweetened which is perfect. It definitely hit the spot when I started to drink it.  

I recommend this drink for sure, but if you have the same price next to it Ito En's Dark Green Tea, get that instead (its the best, my opinion). 

Chinese Bottled Jasmine Tea (Molispace)

I can not read Chinese and I tried typing in the web address on the bottle but the page does not exist currently. I noticed only after I had grabbed this out of the market that it expired 10 months ago!! The Market we go to has a tendency to not check their products expiration dates and it was my fault that it was a bit late. Anyways I am thinking that since then when the Jasmine Tea was bottled that perhaps the company does not exist anymore. That follows in suit to the tea in this bottle which was not to our liking. Now it might not be that great because it is OLD but it was too sweet and is no were as nice as Ito En's Jasmin tea (which is delicious), see here.

Like said we tried it and it taste like Jasmine tea but has sweetness that I just don't care for. Ms. Noodle likes sweet teas but she didn't agree with this one. I will not be getting this one again and I now know that it is expired it I see it again.

This is a Miss, don't buy!

Tradition Brand Barley Tea

Traditional Brand Barley Tea is refreshing hot. Not a strong flavor and different then a normal tea (tea leaves). It is a traditional Tea drink, especially in Taiwan more so than Japan. This brand is great but their oolong tea is much to be desired. Barley tea is also refreshing if you chill it after you brew. I might have to do that soon and make a large pitcher of it.



I recommend this and so does Ms. Noodle!!!
