Popular Tasting Notes

This is my favourite tea right now. I have it every morning, I must have gone through over 500 g of this already, I normally fill my 100 g tin up and get 100 -150 g extra in a bag to last me till I make another order. I’m currently on my last 50 g so I have to make an order in the next couple of weeks. Normally drink it with a little bit of milk.

To all the nice people in the Steepster community:
Please, find some real sencha by a Japanese tea house or even just an Asian tea house, and taste that.
The so called ‘sencha’ from Tea Forte was not sencha.
Once you taste the real thing, you will never go back to Tea Forte for their sencha.
Trust me.

The first thought I had when I smelled this tea was there was a light sweet aroma. It reminded me of creamed corn to a degree. The flavor is light and sweet with still some of that corn sweetness. I am going to have to try this one again to see if the flavors are present in the next batch.

I was very excited when I saw this tea. I sampled it in the shop and thought it was wonderful! When I got it home, I realised how little like mulled wine the tea tasted. Don’t get me wrong, I think the tea is lovely and delicious in its own right, but if it’s meant to taste like mulled wine, I don’t feel as though that was fulfilled.

You definitely don’t want to steep this too long, because it goes a bit bitter. With the right water temperature and without steeping too long, this is delightful. Very nice rose scent, and I love the mix of jasmine flowers with the rose petals.
