English Tea Shop

Second working cup of the day.
I did not expect to like this. I’m not exactly sure why, maybe because the last tea I had from the English Tea Shop was something I did not care for at all. Hmm.
But this was actually very pleasant indeed. I found it very refreshing in the middle of the day.
I don’t get overmuch blueberry out of it, but I did get a gentle fruitiness, and the delicacy of the elderflower. Turns out I quite like elderflower!

Mild tea, slightly watery. The ginger could be stronger, only then it will taste better. Not sure if I tasted citrus in this tea. Overall, ok tea – I’m sure there are others that are way better.

A little bit disappointed with this tea. Perhaps I expected a stronger chamomile flavour (I have another chamomile tea that tastes so much better). Lavender was quite weak as well. This tea ended up tasting very watery. Maybe it is suitable for those who prefer mild flavoured chamomile – anyway, next time I’ll try using 2 bags instead.

Pretty good! Cinnamon is what stands out the most to me, followed by rooibos and irish cream. A nice, comforting tea. I don’t get much of the ginger or the vanilla. So far, I’m really liking these special Christmas teas!

Yum! This is delightful! On the advice of a nice customer from where I work, I picked up a Christmas gift set of mixed teas by English Tea Shop and this flavour is the first out of four that I’ve tried. Off to a good start! I’d call this “peppermint with a twist.” The predominant flavour is peppermint but there are other flavours mingling throughout. A lovely tea, perfect for the holiday season!

Tastes like your fairly standard, average white tea. Nothing special.

Sipdown! Increasing my rating slightly. This remains the best chamomile tea I’ve ever tried. Mild and smooth. I usually hate chamomile tea but this is good!

I have been working so much lately that I really needed a day of rest and relaxation. Today was that day. I had green tea earlier, which is always my go-to tea but this evening I wanted something different so in keeping with my calm day, I opted for this. Last Christmas I received a gift box full of all different teas from this company. This flavour is the first one from this brand that I’ve tried. Usually I am not a big fan of chamomile tea. The flavour just never impresses me and I find it too strange tasting. This one is really mild and I am so relieved. It’s not gross. I’ve always described every chamomile tea I’ve ever had in the past as “gross.” Finally I’ve found one that I can tolerate. I will happily drink this until it’s gone, which won’t be long since there are only 8 bags in each box.

I made a hell of a lot of iced tea with these teabags. I don’t think I added enough sugar, cause it’s still very bitter. Maybe some of you might like bitter teas, but I prefer a sweet fruity tea if it’s advertised. It’s pretty strong, especially for teabags. I wouldn’t reccomend it cold, but hot, maybe.

A mild chai. It wasn’t as flavorful and spicy as I had hoped. It tasted mainly like cinnamon.
