37 Tasting Notes
Ok I want a STRONG rich milk tea and this is the closest one I’ve got so far:
1tbsp+1tsp tea (~9-10g I guess) with ~225mL water and 50mL milk (adjustable)
You’ll get a very nice copper colour and a burst of flavour, malty or caramel like.
This was so good I haven’t tried drinking it straight before I ran out of a tin..
Flavors: Malt
Preparation
Strong version of a breakfast tea, if you want to hit yourself hard with tannin go for it. Strongest one I’ve tried so far.
Not surprising or unique but ok, you may want to brew it with more water than usual
Flavors: Astringent
Preparation
A bit malty aroma but tastes more of the African leaves. This is generally enjoyable and I like this more than expected. With a good strength and still easy to drink. If you add a tiny little splash of milk it tastes better!
The tea particles are small so this may not suit going through a 2nd brew. And because of that the leaves are heavier for 1 tsp.
Flavors: Malt
Preparation
Strong breakfast tea with an distinct floral note, I was not so sure about the floral part in the beginning but it comes out good! Actually not as strong as Taylor’s Scottish breakfast (that was no.1 in my strength list) but this strength is easy to drink and still gives you wonderful flavour, I think I like this more after drinking for a couple of times. You can brew the loose leaf for 2 times and still tastes tea.
Flavors: Floral
Preparation
Normally doesn’t like flavoured tea but this one tastes normal (yes!) along with a nice aroma. The vanilla smells a bit thick and one may feel artificial because of that, but it is acceptable for me. The taste is general black tea with a hint of vanilla, generally enjoyable as a tea.
Flavors: Caramel, Vanilla
Preparation
I hated Earl Grey so I didn’t look forward to this blend with bergamot, but guess what it’s one of my favourite from Harney’s now. Best surprise to myself. It has a unique taste of sweetness that enhances the bergamot and made it easy to drink (aka. nothing like the salty taste of earl Grey). This tea is perfect both hot and cold.
Flavors: Floral, Honey
