688 Tasting Notes

I’ve discovered recently that I rather like the smell of bergamot. The flavour seems like standard earl grey with currants. It’s a good tea, but needs more vanilla.

It smells like cake or chocolate. Well, maybe a little like chocolate cake. The flavour is more chocolate (and berries) than red velvet.

Red velvet is essentially a chocolate cake, so that’s not surprising! Though it’s supposed to have buttermilk, I’ve never found a red velvet tea that captured that aspect.

I want to try DT’s Red Velvet.

It’s better than some of chocolate rooibos blends I’ve tried.

It aroma reminds me more of spices and Autumn than of pumpkin. The flavour is more like pumpkin pie. And the chai has nice blend of spices.

It smelled really good. The flavour was a nice vanilla mixed with berry. This makes a good brunch tea.

It smells like salt, coconut, and a little caramel. I don’t taste much caramel flavour, mostly salty coconut. Good, but I was hoping for more caramel.

My main reason for buying a sample- it smells like peppermint bark. The flavour is sweet, and minty without being overpowering. It kinda tastes like my favourite mint candy canes. Would go well with chocolate.

It really does smell like carrot cake. The flavour is a bit more mild, but I can taste some carrot cake.

It smells fantastic. The flavour is lemony, and creamy. The first thing that came to mind was lemon cupcakes.

At first, it does smell like cappuccino. The flavour is more like caramel than anything coffee. While I do like caramel rooibos, I was hoping that it was a little more like coffee.
