14 Tasting Notes
This tea was light and silky. I loved the combination of sweet and light, but I don’t know if I appreciate the milk. This is my own taste and should be a negative reflection of the tea. I recommend this for people looking for something different or who particularly like milk. I would pass if you don’t fit into those categories.
Flavors: Milk, Orchid, Sweet
Preparation
The cinnamon is very strong, and the rose adds a special kind of sweetness. The two work as a wonderful compliment to each other. There is a nice balance of different kinds of sweet. The apple is very subtle and provides a nice balance for the drink. The flavor of the green tea is somewhat lost, but I didn’t mind. I still recommend the drink.
Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Rosehips, Sweet
Preparation
The bitterness of this tea is not very pronounced, and it took me several sips to find it. The strawberry flavor is subtle, too, and it offers a little sweetness. It could use more of that sweetness. I recommend this tea for those who want something different from the standard black tea.
Flavors: Bitter, Chocolate, Strawberry, Sweet
Preparation
This tea is a bitter black tea mixed with hazelnuts. It has a well-rounded sweetness and buttery flavor. This was not my favorite, but I cannot find a real fault with it.
Flavors: Bitter, Butter, Hazelnut, Sweet
Preparation
This is my favorite tea. It has a subtle but full flavor profile. There is enough sweet and bitter to work in concert. It has a refreshing effect and leaves in a contemplative mood for when I need to reflect. I love this tea.
Flavors: Bitter, Floral, Sweet
Preparation
This is a solid green tea blend. My only complaint is the strawberry isn’t strong enough; the papaya flavor is very dominating on my tongue. I could still smell the strawberry. I would recommend this to any green tea or papaya lover.
Preparation
I never thought I tea could remind me of chocolate, but this does just that. It is like a dark chocolate in liquid form. It didn’t have the bitterness I expect from something with a dark chocolate taste, and it doesn’t seem to have a full flavor profile.
Flavors: Cocoa, Dark Chocolate, Earth, Sweet
Preparation
I love this tea. It is my go-to no matter the occasion. Unfortunately, I do not have the tools to make this in the original style. It is strong, bitter, and earthy. Some people may not like that combination, and I understand that. It doesn’t change that this is the best tea for my palate.
Flavors: Bitter, Earth, Smooth
Just to be clear, there is no milk in this tea. It is only called milk oolong because of the buttery, thick mouth-feel. It is dairy-free. Thanks!
