Popular Tasting Notes
This is a delightful tea. One day I was at my office and my boss just told me: there are some teas, you can prepare yourself whatever you want. I did so with this one. Is really strong and spicy and it has a soft peppermint flavor at the ending. The black pepper is strong and you can feel it as well as the cardamom. It’s slightly sweet(ened).
It is, as well, pretty good in waking you up when you’re tired/lazy/sleepy after lunch. Perfect to drink in the afternoon.
Preparation
I like a more assertive tea, but this is well balanced and lovely. More soothing than anything else. I don’t taste a real chocolate presence, but there is a gorgeous richness. The nose is very sweet and floral, with a more muted taste.
This would match well with a simple biscuit or biscotti, perhaps with almonds or hazelnuts, that gives focus to the tea as a dessert or sweet afternoon refreshment.
Flavors: Berries, Floral, Sweet
Preparation
This is a great tea whether hot, or iced. I really love honeydew/melon teas. This particular tea has a good honeydew flavour, It has somewhat of a bitter taste to it, but I just add a little agave or sugar to it. I’m not much into white teas, but this was a fave. I’m sad it’s being discontinued.
Flavors: Bitter, Bitter Melon, Floral, Honeydew
Preparation
Had this iced and it’s pretty good. I brewed it hot and let it steep for a long time which caused the mate taste to come out a little stronger than I would have liked. My husband loved it, I thought it tasted a bit like a dirty orange rather than a nice, crisp orange flavor, but that’s probably my fault for oversteeping to ice.
