Leros

This is an interesting blend, intended to be drank in the mornings — so I have prepared it in the evening. I was freezing cold all aftenoon and evening, so I wanted something to warm me up.

Myrtle + ginger is making a quite clashing flavour profile, a little zingy sap. Myrtle definitely makes the sap notes. At least in my experience here.
Peppermint makes on the other hand the refreshing note. Black tea to have some caffeine… but it didn’t helped me much, I am still tired and it’s not present in the taste; and last ingredient, licorice root, makes whole liquor a bit thick and sweet — sadly, it is a bit too much of it.

But for warming up, it did its work.

Right after I finished my Ceylon tea, my father (who went retired today!) come and said he wants a coffee. Well, and he don’t want to drink it alone, so I have picked another tea, this time something caffeine-free as that tea was very caffeine strong.

I apparently picked wrong tea. Rooibos was well present, but “madam Grey” flavour — that citrusy aroma and taste was incredlibly strong, reminding me rather dish soap, noticed only lemon notes. It was indeed very strong, making aroma and taste quite unbearable. Well in ingredients is listed: rooibos 90 %, aroma. So 10 % of that tea bag (2 g) is full of aroma/flavours, or I don’t know what?

It was way too strong! That’s what I disliked on this tea.

Yesterday I ate too much kebab apparently and today was my stomach upset.
So I took another tea bag – I should return to loose leaf at home.

Zažívání means digesting. Steeped for 10 minutes, as it is recommended, boiling water.

Colour is medicinal green. Like the box I guess.
Aroma – herbs, peppermint and chamomile.
Taste – herbal, dominant peppermint with chamomile sweetness. Bit spicy due to ginger. Nice and easy drinking tea, pure herbals, no extra ingredients. It was not really tasty – but it was not so bad as I expected.

My stomach feels better now.
