Popular Tasting Notes
I enjoy this tea right before bed. Something about this tea is really calming and helps me sleep really well. I like to add a little bit of rock sugar to this tea just to give it some sweetness otherwise it can be very astringent. I love this tea, it’s easily one of my favorites and it tastes wonderful blended with Strawberry Blush Rose.
Flavors: Peach
Preparation
I’m new to tea in general and this is my first Ceylon, so I don’t have anything to compare it to but considering what I’ve read about single estate Ceylon, this seems like a well balanced, fruity but not cloying, sweet but in a rich tasting way tea. beautiful nose of stone fruit, spent grain, muscatel flavors right off the bat. Slightly astringent but not overly drying. Coating in the best possible way. Smooth flavors, no real off notes. Classic EB Ceylon Aroma but not stereotypicaly fruity. Richer, deeper flavor, more nuanced than any EB you’ll encounter. Fair amount of twig is evident once re-hydrated. Brews a gorgeous, clear amber red liquor. A beautiful tasting tea
Flavors: Apricot, Caramel, Corn Husk, Dried Fruit, Grain, Muscatel, Raisins, Sugarcane
Preparation
I don’t like this quite as much as Twinings earl grey, but it makes for a pleasant, unsurprising, and comforting tea. At their recommendation I added sweetener and just a touch of milk. I think it could have steeped even longer.
Preparation
Mint Majesty features spearmint, peppermint, and lemon verbena which makes it a refreshing twist on traditional peppermint tea. I have used plain peppermint tea for digestive support for many years now but I think this may be its replacement. The spearmint makes the tea very crisp while the peppermint is familiar and pleasant. What has me hooked, however, is that verbena that adds a bit of natural sweetness.
Flavors: Lemon, Peppermint, Spearmint
Preparation
Hearty, woodsy, a teeny bit of fruit (pear?). I like it better with milk and sugar, but it’s smooth enough to drink on its own (not bitter, and that’s the only time I pick up on the fruit).
As breakfast teas go, this is as strong as I’ll go before crossing the line into smoky teas (which always make me feel like I’m waking up in the military or something). For this Scottish blend, no need to break out the bugle reveille and the WWII helmet. This one still has a touch of coziness.
Preparation
So I bought 25 g of this and didn’t really love it. Iced was way better than cold for sure but today on the LAST bits i decided to throw in some soy milk with it while it was iced. It’s like a stroke of genius and soooo delicious I can’t even bear to throw away the leaves because I want to drink more and more. Might have to keep a little of this in my stash for those creamy, peachy days in the summer.
