Ronnefeldt

Quite possibly one of my favorite teas to have with a bit of milk and dark honey (I prefer avocado). It is incredibly smooth, with hints of malt, and no bitter bite of tannin. I’ve had a whole pot to myself, and could easily go for another.

I might have oversteeped this one but it is good and has a slight sweetness to it; it is a bit overly-bitter but I think if one were to steep it properly it would taste much better.

So I ended making my only sample of this tea bag for someone else but tried it. I assumed I wouldn’t like it but ended quite liking it which was unfortunate since it still went to my friend. I got this tea bag from a family member who received it on a European cruise.

Dry bag: smells fruity like marionberries

taste: fruity with a hint of rose flavor, after all it does come from a rose. Slightly tart but easily fixed with some honey.
The color brews up this beautiful color that reminds me of hibiscus or beets. Would make a lovely lip stain!

Very flavourful vanilla. Good balance is struck between vanilla and rooibos in this blend.

Strong and fragrant Darjeeling; it is okay.

This was kindly given to me by a dear friend who said it just wasn’t her thing. Good call to give it to me, since I’m famous for loving flavored black teas. I really like a good coconut scented black. It smelled a bit perfumey, almost soapy, which was strange, but I needed to actually brew it. “Brew it, then review it” should be my mantra (sorry, a bit champagne tipsy right now, this IS Valentine’s Day, after all!). Anyway, tried it hot, and the flavor was pleasant, but that soapiness was readily apparent and spoiled it. I decided that sometimes making it iced can dampen some unpleasant off flavors, so I tried it that way as well. No luck. Still soapy. So this is a thumbs down, unfortunately. With so many coconut and coconut/vanilla teas out there that are delicious, I wasn’t going to waste any more of my time with this one. Out it goes…

Second brewing, still jasmine-y.

Rather dark and a bit tart, maybe try a bit cooler water next time. But good for the office, it’s not too arresting and can be drunk on the side.

It reminds me my childhood, when i was drinkig it sometimes after playing football.

trying to get to my samples today since there’s a package at the post office that could be one of two things – both with a number of teas. :) This one was from courtney and is not a bad cup for this morning. There’s a bit of astringency in the cup, which i don’t mind at all in this particular case. This continues to reaffirm my opinion that ronnefeldt teas are sort of middle ground for me, so totally doable at a reasonable price point, but not something i MUST HAVE. so thanks for the wide range of teas from them to try courtney!

finished off the last of this from courtney, for no other reason than i wanted a solid black AND because it meant a sipdown haha. Not actively working on them today but if i can get to 140, i will be a happy camper :) thanks for sharing this one with me courtney!

this came to me from the lovely courtney as I asked her for a few of the ronnefeldt teas she had so i could try them as a company. This is not your malty sort of assam. Instead it’s more of a fruitier (but not a la taiwanese tea sort of fruity) cup of tea. There’s a boldness here that i can get behind, that is nice this morning. Thanks for sharing this one with me courtney!

Received this one in my swap with Courtney. I love assam. I am sure I have said in many of my reviews that CTC assam is one of my all time favourite teas.

This one is not a CTC version, but the leaves are quite small. There is not much smell to the tea dry. Brewed there is a very, very light assam smell. Slightly sweet.

The brewed tea is OK. I had quite high hopes for this one. I am not getting any malt, which is the most disappointing part. It is only moderately bold. There is a mild sweet honey flavour. I am not getting much spice either that is described in the description of this tea. To me, this one is almost bordering on a Ceylon. I am also getting a light metallic tang in the aftertaste, which I have had with some assams before.

The tea itself it good, I just prefer a much bolder and maltier assam. I think it may have been better with a larger quantity of tea, I used 1 tsp which is what I normally use.

I was expecting a slight orange taste yet I still wanted to taste the tea. It smelled like a Vitamin C tablet and tasted like Vitamin C as well, very medicinal taste for me but might be worth it for someone that likes a zesty blend.

A tea bag my co-worker gave me. It tastes like berry juice! I swear there are more blueberries in there that anything else.

This is another from Annie’s gift woot.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a straight Darjeeling, and I’ve seen such mixed reviews on how people feel about them I was completely unsure what to expect. I am enjoying this cup overall. I’m getting the subtlest hint of mineral in the background, but essentially it’s a nice, simple cup of black tea. There is a wee bit of astringency here, but nothing offensive.

Chinese Sencha and fine fruity aromas and flowers
Citrus Mango Flavour
Ingredients: sunflower, cornflower, rose petals.

It is better than other Green Tea since I drink those.

First, You can drink with hot water.
Second, drip cold water in the teapot and enjoy it.

Overall, this is an okay herbal tea.

I generally don’t like Chai teas unless I’m making Milk tea, and I did not think this tea would taste good with Milk. This is not spicy so its okay.

I also don’t like liquorice but the blend of other herbs balances out the flavor; the ginger adds a bit of spice to offset the sweet liquorice.

For me, this will be an acquired taste but it isn’t a bad tea.

if relaxing is what you expect on camomile tea, this would be perfect

Had a lovely cup of this, shared with three coworkers, at work this afternoon. This is a lovely tea, especially in the afternoon, and even if you aren’t a huge bergamot fan.
