2955 Tasting Notes
It tastes a lot like soap if you steep it the recommended time. If you steep it less than 2 minutes you can get a nicer tea with a moderate flavour, but it isn’t as strong as I would have liked.
Flavors: Coconut, Fruity, Soap
Preparation
While I really love the fruity apricot flavour, I find this tea to become bitter and tannic very quickly. You can only leave it steeping for two minutes at most.It is nice with milk in it, but is sweet enough you don’t need to add sweetener.
Flavors: Apricot, Fruity, Peach, Stonefruit, Tannic
Preparation
This blend is DELICIOUS! It is my favourite rooibos from Granville Island Tea Company. I can taste the orange and spices, even on the second and third cups. The orange flavour is a git different from normal orange. It is less bright and more like a dried citrus zest. I love orange flavour but avoid acidic teas, so this rooibos is perfect. It has the subtle sweetness that rooibos often has, which makes it great for iced tea.
Flavors: Citrus Zest, Orange, Orange Zest, Rooibos, Spices, Sugarcane, Sweet
Preparation
Tastes a little bit artificial. I’m not a huge fan of the strawberry flavour they used, but I do like that it isn’t acidic or tart. That being said, the flavour was apparent (but not strong), even on the second and third steep. This tea tisane was pretty good with milk and with honey added.
Flavors: Artificial, Fruity, Rooibos, Strawberry, Sugar, Sweet
Preparation
Raspberry and vanilla flavours could be a bit stronger, but overall a very tasty and sweet tea. There is a creamy, dessert-like quality to this tea, which I very much enjoy.
Flavors: Creamy, Raspberry, Rooibos, Sweet, Vanilla
Preparation
This tea is very sweet and rooibos-y but there is not a lot of apple flavour or apple pie spices. It smells like sweet apple pie, but I wish the flavour was a bit stronger. The nice thing about this tea is you can keep the tea bag in and it never gets too strong or bitter.
Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Fruity, Rooibos, Spices, Sweet
Preparation
Gets very tannic and bitter very fast. There is a definite fruity smell and flavour to the tea. I taste primarily apricot or peach and strong, bitter black tea.
Flavors: Apricot, Fruity, Peach, Stonefruit, Tannic
Preparation
You can really taste the cherries and nuts used in this tea. I don’t find it too acidic at all. It can be re-steeped several times. I love that you can leave your teabag in and it never gets too strong.
Flavors: Almond, Cherry, Coconut, Fruit Punch, Fruity, Marzipan, Nuts, Nutty, Roasted Nuts
