41 Tasting Notes
Everyone has different tastes which is why I recommend picking up this sampler to see which you prefer. For instance I was surprised that I enjoyed the peppermint flavour. Not that I would have it every day but occassionally as an after dinner drink or during festive times. As always, I love the Sleepytime Chamomile and would drink this before bedtime every night to unwind.
Flavors: Honey, Lemon, Peppermint
Preparation
Nice festive tea! It could easily become a seasonal favourite. I wouldn’t say it’s something I’d drink regularly because the spices can be a bit overpowering. But the aroma is nice!
Flavors: Cinnamon, Ginger
Preparation
It’s tasty but a little too sweet. I get it..the Roobios has to be masked by the peppermint and white chocolate. Only, the balance is somewhat off. It’s not something I’d drink on a regular basis but perhaps sip slowly as an after dinner dessert drink.
Flavors: Creamy, Peppermint, Sugar, White Chocolate
Preparation
Nice tea! The ginseng does not taste bitter at all. I detect a hint of licorice. However, I should point out that a Korean grocery store owner mentioned to me that there is actually very little effect from the ginseng in this specific tea. For a better effect, she recommended brewing ginseng panax or the actual herb and adding other herbs for flavouring.
Flavors: Herbs, Licorice
Preparation
I was somewhat disappointed in this tea. I expected more flavours and spices but instead it was too similar to a standard black tea. Not bad but definitely not great. Perhaps Twinings played up the ‘exotic quality’ of the tea which may have partially dashed my hopes.
Flavors: Bitter
Preparation
Nice fruity tea! Very soothing aroma and taste. You could brew this tea in a large cup and it would not dilute the nice tangy taste. Very refreshing :)
Flavors: Fruity, Hibiscus, Raspberry
Preparation
Very strong spices in this tea. A little overpowering if brewed too long. The flavours are much gentler with milk added. It would be a great drink to invigorate you early morning but not something to drink many times a day.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Cloves, Licorice
Just finished off all of the teas in this box! Really enjoyed the honey vanilla chamomile- that one was my fave :)
