Preparation
Just returned from a shop with 2 new Croatian teabag boxes. Even tho they are bit artificial I kinda like them because they taste exotic and refreshing. Good to drink at work instead of water…
The teabag smells very yummy. Tea almost as good.
Color is very yellow and clear.
Taste pretty artificial tho. Its weird drinking aloe. It reminds of some candy taste – Just cant remember which. That taste is quite strong. Almost slightly bitter.
It’s better with sugar but still not very good. Yet very much drinkable – just not tea-ish. Idk where that 89.5% of green tea hid in this combo ;)
Edit – It’s not bad cold…
Preparation
I LOVE Mighty Leaf’s Aloe Serenity so now I’m on the hunt for every aloe tea I can find (which believe me is not many. Must try! Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention.
i could send you some samplers of the croatian teabags. i’m waiting for the ziploc bags too from ebay so i can send people loose leaf too (sadly couldnt find any small sized ones in Croatia). feel free to remind me, i tend to forget stuff ;)
I would think drinking aloe would be weird as I’ve only experienced it in lotions and skin healing gels for use after sunburn.
yep it is kinda weird but i’ve tried it in several bottled drinks (love the yogurts with aloe – and ya thats probably what it reminded me of). its soothing, sweetish and different… probably one of those “like it or hate it” things…
and goes really well mixed in fruity blends (speaking of drinks in general, this tea could have been better)
Today i forgot about it and steeped it quite longer than normal 7-8 minutes. Its stronger – kinda almost smokey. I like adagio’s silver needle because of that nutty delicate taste. This one is not that good when mild. But this smokiness i get with oversteeping it i like. Good thing i accidentally found it out because i have few oz-es of this silver needle waiting for me…
Preparation
It’s still kinda hard for me to rate Oolong because I’ve tasted 2 kinds and they taste quite alike – oolongy ;) It’s very much drinkable – what i like to drink when i want something neutral – like when i’m in the plain water phase. Looking forward to trying more oolongs and finally taste some actual difference among them.
