2987 Tasting Notes
I find this orange pekoe bitter and overly tannic. The colour is a strong orange and there is a slightly malty flavour and smell to the tea. It isn’t a terrible tea, but I do prefer other brands of orange pekoe.
Flavors: Bitter, Tannic, Tannin
Preparation
A very tasty chamomile. Nice and strong lemony, floral flavour. The tea bags smell sweet like dry straw and when steeping the tisane you can smell the chamomile.
Flavors: Dry Grass, Floral, Lemon, Sweet
Preparation
There is a definite blueberry flavour and it tastes quite complex to me. The black tea is a bit sweet, but also tannic (but not overly bitter!) I really love this tea, I just wish they had a decaf version haha.
Flavors: Blueberry, Fruity, Honey, Sweet, Tannic, Winter Honey
Preparation
You can really taste all the herbs in this blend, it did not have that overpowering menthol flavour that minty teas often have. I like this tea when I am sick or right before bed.
Flavors: Dry Grass, Ginger, Herbs, Lemongrass, Medicinal, Mint, Sweet
Preparation
One of my best friends picked this up on her trip to Paris last year and it is AMAZING. It smells sweet like raspberries but has an obvious green tea smell.
When brewed it is very bright but not acidic. I do find the green tea gets tannic if steeped too long, but I usually take the tea bag out and resteep it again later.
This tea is very good hot or iced. I like it with a bit of honey but it is sweet enough you don’t need any sweetener.
Flavors: Berries, Fruity, Green, Raspberry, Sweet, Tannic
Preparation
Very weird flavour. It tasty a lot like yerba mate in that it has a burnt earthy flavour to it like cheap overbrewed coffee. You can taste a bit of cocoa, but no caramel.
Flavors: Ash, Burnt Sugar, Cocoa, Dark Bittersweet, Dirt, Dry Grass, Earth, Roasted Barley, Tannic
