The dry leaf of this tea smells incredible with a sweet deep chocolatey aroma. The flavour doesn’t transfer perfectly from the aroma and the mouthfeel is rather thin. Still, it is much appreciated that a good quality black tea is used for the base and the chocolate flavour is there as a good complement.

Bubblegum flavour. I’m detecting some kind of artificial sweetner taste which I noticed is included in the melon pieces used in this blend

Both dry leaf and brewed tea have a barn-y aroma that I am not familiar with in a white tea.

Medium mouthfeel and strong white tea flavour- reminiscent of the Scottish Daleroch tea I tried a few weeks ago. Very soft and delicate sweetness trails into the aftertaste. Leather note.

Good combination of green and black tea flavour. This is a simple blend but the flavours go together quite well and it tastes like a good quality tea.

The use of stevia in this one is unfortunate as I found the other flavours in here to be quite nice. I am sensitive to stevia and it has a anesthetic-type freezing effect on my throat. The taste of the apple on the aftertaste is okay.

The aroma of this tea brewing had a strong smoked salmon aroma with the sweetness of the white was able to come through.

The smoked salmon note comes through strongly but the white tea taste is robust enough to come through on its own as well. The tea has both sweet and savoury notes which are typically quite difficult to balance. Mouthfeel is medium. Sweetness is soft and dull on the sip but had a sharper edge at the back of the throat.

Coconut flavour is present but dilute. Mouthfeel is very thin. This is a fairly heavy tea with all the additives which makes each cup quite expensive even if there is only a fraction of actual tea in each scoop.
