Ahmad Tea

A general, decaffeinated black tea. Nothing too distinctive, just decaf black tea. Nicely balanced strength, not too sharp like a breakfast tea. It does steep dark very quickly.

It seems to be my least favourite of all Ahmad fruit teas I’ve tasted so far. Bland, watery, not only with almost no apple flavour, but also with almost no base black tea in the back. Only slight maltiness and traces of artificial apple.
Huge disappointment.

I generally like fruit teas from Ahmad and this one is not an exception. Very fruity, natural aroma reminding of grandma’s strawberry tart, no sweetness, slight malty background of the base black tea, overall warming sensation. Really nice autumn warmer.

Tart, fruity taste.
it’s OK, pretty strong even with a light steep (30 sec).

I bought it, already liking Lemon & Lime Twist by Ahmad a lot.
This one’s not as good but still solid. Lots of peach (more) and passion fruit (less) aroma, fairly natural. A touch of sweetness, only threshold acidity, a bit of astringency. Really nice flavoured tea. I need to try it cold.

It’s surprising how much I like this tea.
It is refreshing, with lots of citrus character that doesn’t seem artificial. And despite having a solid malty black tea foundation, it’s not heavy. Great both hot and cold.

I have never had chamomile tea before, so it’s quite a different taste. Definitely herbal, sort of rounded, earthy, smooth.
Not bad, but so different from everything else I’ve had it will take some time to get used to.

Black tea with a medium strawberry flavor – actually nice.

Middle of the road black tea, no special flavoring, but a nice tea.

Mostly green tea flavor with just a hint of lemon.

A Nice vanilla black tea. Steeps a full bodies dark color,

Hello from Japan. I have barely tea up in my room but this was free and I felt like doing a review since I haven’t done one in awhile. This is decent hot but I feel like it would benefit more as a cold brew. At first the berries hit hard but the slug off behind the hibiscus like pretty much all other brews containing hibiscus. The elderberries add a nice touch that I feel helps to mellow and round out the rest of the berries. A brew to try when it’s available but I don’t think I will go back to. It is almost too sweet.

This is the final tea bag from the swap that will have its review. The stash has been vanquished! I noted that this was “the most boring” of the group. I didn’t get a lot of raspberry nor pomegranate. The tea bag didn’t have any major aroma, either.

Nice Darjeeling. For my tastebuds, very herbal and smooth, very little bitterness. Medium astringency, pleasant overall.

The mango flavor in this tea is very refreshing. Loved it.

made this as a pick-me-up at work, as yesterday I went to a concert and went home pretty late (it was after midnight! I go to bed at 11 at most!!)
sadly, I think the water was too hot, as this is slightly more bitter than what I typically go for :(

back at work, but a nasty bug is making its rounds; it started with my (new!!) advisor, who we’re calling patient zero; it also got to my other (new!!) advisor, and now to me
but it could also be from my bf, which, in that case, i’d say he owes me flowers

so, here’s me, at 7PM, drinking earl grey to try to stay awake until dinner (and maybe an episode of Lost)

having this at the lab while doing the (hopefully) final look through of my thesis - already dreaming of what I’ll be doing with myself to celebrate!

the weather may be really nice outside, but my colleagues made the lab feel like the arctic, so… earl grey to warm up!
(I literally have chicken skin right now, but I also forgot to bring a jacket :D )
