Teekanne

Nope, still not my cup of tea.

“meh” seems like the appropriate word here.

Well, that’s the last one of my tea bags of Pomegranate Delight. I wasn’t that impressed when I first tasted it, but somehow this tea grew on me. I like the fact that it’s mild, so I can drink it even late at night when I’m tired and feeling cold.

Well, I tried steeping it longer and it actually tastes better. It’s still a bit too mild, but it seems to be growing on me. Who new!

Well, this was a bit… disappointing. From the colour and the smell I was expecting something different – a stronger pomegranate flavour maybe, not as “metallic” as it turned out to be.
Me thinks a little honey might be in order to finish the pot.

Not bad for leaving it overnight by accident. I decanted it into a glass over ice, and it was quite tasty.

Backlogged from this weekend.

all right than, time to try this one with orange just as i promised myself i would.
well, i have to say, it really brings the punch out :D not the way i thought it would, but it’s rather a good surprise. i would definitely recommend Punschfix with orange on a cold winter afternoon. it can take you away.

some punsch flavour with cinnamon (which i missed though, it should be stronger in my opinion), to savour with orange if possible. kinda sad i didn’t find any so i had to stick with honey and nothing else. was really good still. note to self: i shell try it with orange once

somewhat better than last time, with powder this time. unfortunatelly i forgot to take the leaf out after a couple of minutes, so i happened to steep it for a good 10 minutes. obviously too much. this just doesn’t seem to serve me well :D

first cup today. good choice for morning tea as far as i’m concerned, with sugar and cream, which doesn’t seem to go well with it, hence the low points. next time without the cream i guess. it still is a good mix of black teas. just keep it warm please

with ridiculous amount of honey and some lemon, all winter style, hm….

one cup full of fruits, maybe a little herb too; perfect for automn afternoon.

I can sense that soreness is developing in my throat… so I am self-medicating with this. I don’t really like the characteristic grassy flavour of camomile, but camomile tea is always so soothing that I always keep a box at home as first aid for sore throat. And this camomile tea by Teekanne is sweet as if it is honeyed, which makes it extra soothing :)

I am biased against any tea that is deep red in colour and contains hibiscus, so I knew I would not give this tea a good rating even before I tasted it. This tisane was rather tart and I didn’t know whether it was due to hibiscus, rosehip, or combination of the two (I have no idea what rosehip tastes like because whenever there’s rosehip, there’s always hibiscus). It was very fruity, to the extent that I was half-expecting to see pulp in the cup. I found it easier to tolerate the tartness as the tisane cooled, because I could then tell myself to treat it as a fruit juice… and fruit juice was meant to be sour!

There are both fruity and floral notes in the tea; my guess is that they have used a blend of Darjeeling and Ceylon. Nothing too impressive but it’s all I need for a lazy Sunday morning ;)

A nice, soothing cup of green tea. Tastes like the green tea that is typically served in sushi joints in Hong Kong. It cleanses my palate and comforts my stomach after a heavy meal.

A very sweet herbal tea that tastes mainly of spearmint. It’s ok but I would prefer it to be more pepperminty.
