431 Tasting Notes

I tasted the pomegranate and it was tart and fruity. The tangerine made it even more tart. It is rather fruity for me and truly I don’t like teas that are overly fruity so it may be a tea someone else would enjoy more.

The peach makes this sweet and tart and the vanilla is smoothing it over. All and all a decent blend.

This blend makes me very angry they discontinued the rum! Another one that would be good iced.

Not my cup of tea. I am unable to identify the flavors and found it to be too astringent. Moving on.

Not bad…it is a bit complex and the flavors try to compete to see who’s on top but still not bad.

This was ok. I felt I really tasted the Grapefruit right away but the I really didn’t taste the remaining flavors. The problem is that it is leaving an acidic flavor behind that I can’t shake. This just isn’t for me, I was really hope to like this one a lot.

Maybe it needs a slightly lower temp? Sugar? Almond and grapefruit sounds like a very weird combo. Some people do get bitter almond from it. I wonder how it would be iced?

I think the question is: Are you hungry?…lol.

Thank you Doulton for allowing me the opportunity to try this tea.

Slightly bitter and a bit creamy. The maple is there but it is almost like a bully forcing him/herself into a situation that they are not invited to. I found this tea to be rough around the edges. I do see potential if the blend percentages were tweaked a bit.

Extra points were given for potential.

This started okay. I liked the strawberry it was good not at all tart. Really didn’t taste much honeybush. I think it will taste good iced. Otherwise, nothing over the top great but delivers what it is labeled as.

Boiling 8 min or more

Since it’s champagne, maybe it needs soda water?

RachanaC (Rachel)-iHeartTeas

Haha maybe I should try that. :-)

Seems I’m going to have to try this one iced.

This is very good. The lemon is bright and the honeybush creates a summer sweet like a fresh hand squeezed lemonade sweetened with simple syrup. This is just so darn refreshing. I just need to make it stronger and steep it longer. Once I do this I am certain I will be bumping this up.

I actually purchased this one and made it earlier this evening. It is good but not strong enough still. I am going to try this again with more tea and hope for better.

First thank you Jessica for sending this one my way!

Meh! It was okay. Tasted better as it cooled but to be honest I am not a huge fan of fruity and only wanted to try this because of some of the reviews I had read.

I’d be sold if it weren’t for the cherry.

RachanaC (Rachel)-iHeartTeas

See now I love cherry but not sure if I do in tea.
