1951 tasting notes

I had tea bag version of this tea bag and again I was disappointed. Sadly.

The base tea, they claim it’s Assam, okay, was quite bitter and astringent, brews very dark and opaque, not much pleasing.

Taste… well it was as I said bitter and astringent, sea buckthorn notes were there, but too weak unfortunately, little bit acidic from them maybe. But sadly, it wasn’t much to enjoy.

Flavors: Astringent, Bitter, Tea

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 2 min, 0 sec 14 OZ / 400 ML

Even if some of your teas are not good, as a person in the US, I am enjoying the names of the teas and the names of the makers. Nordqvist. Sounds so bold!

White Antlers: This is Finnish company, which produces wonderful Moomin tea bags :) and tea bags in general which are very cute. And as I collect them, among experience from loose leaf, I always enjoy seeing this company.

Oh! Tove Jansson’s Moomins? How delightful! I guess sometimes you trade off decent tea for charming tea bags. lol

Martin Bednář

Exactly those :)

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
