139 Tasting Notes
Disappointing. I prefer a strong dark chocolate flavor and a strong black tea; this isn’t it. I find the flavor quite weak, even when I add tea leaves. Worst of all, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Tossing it out, not worth drinking.
Flavors: Sour, Watery
This is a very sweet tea. I have been drinking only minimally processed high-grade black, oolong, pu’erh, or green teas, and decided to do a sip down on this one (and get the can out of my tea supplies). It tastes processed; yet it is a childhood type of flavor, of candy canes and the winter holidays. It is also green rooibos, which I have grown to loathe. But in this tea, it tatses and smells of candy canes, which is simultaneously pleasant and annoying as I have given up added sugar for health reasons. Bye bye Peppermint Bark, won’t be buying again.
Flavors: Alcohol, Peppermint, Sugar
Preparation
I received a packet of this tea as a sample with an order from Woodlandherbal.com. It lives up to its name: a pleasantly flavored relaxation tea that can be drunk whenever you need it. Or the mood strikes. This family of herbalists uses top ingredients; you can tell my the appearance, flavor, and aroma of the products. I have been a customer for about 2 years and have NEVER been disappointed.
Flavors: Chamomile, Floral, Herbaceous
Preparation
Waaayyy too sweet for me! The “Caramel flavor” clubs you over the head. The ingredients as listed are: Green tea, toasted sesame seeds, caramel flavor. I don’t know what is in that caramel flavor but I wouldn’t be surprised if it is an artificial sweetener. It tastes like it. We are drinking it just because it is a green and we rocket through tea when fasting. Fasting sharpens your sense of taste and smell; I am at the end of a 72 hour fast and the sweetener taste in this tea is too much. Not buying again.
Flavors: Artificial, Bitter, Sweet
Preparation
I received a sample with an order. It’s an average green tea, and I could not detect any citrus notes. I also couldn’t detect any benefit of the gingko on this very short run of use (takes longer, I’m certain). I guess it wasn’t the worst green tea I’ve had, but I wouldn’t choose it either.
Flavors: Dry Grass
