A decent budget jasmine green tea which fares well in taste and fragrance.
NB: Do transfer the bags immediately to an air-tight canister, after opening. I found its scent and taste “deteriorated” quite fast when kept in its cardboard box.

Quite a lovely gourmandish green tea, good to kickstart an early morning in the office! The caramel note seems to come out more in loose tea version (can someone else pls confirm, thks) but I prefer it bagged for convenience.
PS: DO NOT steep for too long! Honestly 1-2 mins is quite sufficient to get a flavourful cuppa for the 1st steep. Remove the bag for a 2nd steep (mine’s usually 3 mins).

I found this rather rich both in fragrance and taste. The fruity note is fairly sweet and tends to dominate the green tea. Still nice enough but if you’re after green tea, you might be disappointed.

This is my favourite rose tea so far. I find florals work better on a green tea-base. There is sufficient rose aroma & taste in this blend to satisfy me & the tea doesn’t turn bitter. Dazzling teas are conveniently packaged in pyramid tea bags, a plus point for me.

Reasonably nice sweet fruity-floral. I don’t like hibiscus in anything but luckily the lychee dominates. Can still make out the rose. But it is a supporting note for an essentially fruity infusion.

Didn’t like the basil-peony mix. Tasted like some sort of metallic/astringent floral to me.

I’m the odd anomaly here as the herby-bergamot pairing seemed “off” to me & like both were trying to overpower each other. But tt’s just my personal taste I guess.

Gorgeous, one of the few rose teas I can recommend. Soft, aromatic and nicely balanced.

The chemistry between black tea & rose (& other florals in general) is kinda tricky. So far, I’ve not liked any I tried…. I didn’t find this one outstanding but it grew on me. I get a lemony-rose taste. Its black tea-base isn’t bitter or overpowering. Good enough for me to repurchase.

Add a dollop of honey to sweeten a somewhat bland floral on white tea base.
