“meh” seems like the appropriate word here.

Well, that’s the last one of my tea bags of Pomegranate Delight. I wasn’t that impressed when I first tasted it, but somehow this tea grew on me. I like the fact that it’s mild, so I can drink it even late at night when I’m tired and feeling cold.

Well, I tried steeping it longer and it actually tastes better. It’s still a bit too mild, but it seems to be growing on me. Who new!

Well, this was a bit… disappointing. From the colour and the smell I was expecting something different – a stronger pomegranate flavour maybe, not as “metallic” as it turned out to be.
Me thinks a little honey might be in order to finish the pot.

Not bad for leaving it overnight by accident. I decanted it into a glass over ice, and it was quite tasty.

all right than, time to try this one with orange just as i promised myself i would.
well, i have to say, it really brings the punch out :D not the way i thought it would, but it’s rather a good surprise. i would definitely recommend Punschfix with orange on a cold winter afternoon. it can take you away.

some punsch flavour with cinnamon (which i missed though, it should be stronger in my opinion), to savour with orange if possible. kinda sad i didn’t find any so i had to stick with honey and nothing else. was really good still. note to self: i shell try it with orange once

first cup today. good choice for morning tea as far as i’m concerned, with sugar and cream, which doesn’t seem to go well with it, hence the low points. next time without the cream i guess. it still is a good mix of black teas. just keep it warm please

I can sense that soreness is developing in my throat… so I am self-medicating with this. I don’t really like the characteristic grassy flavour of camomile, but camomile tea is always so soothing that I always keep a box at home as first aid for sore throat. And this camomile tea by Teekanne is sweet as if it is honeyed, which makes it extra soothing :)

Sounds like just what you need soothing goodness. I hope you don’t get a full on cold hopefully the tea might ward off what’s coming. :)

Devilish

Thanks Winter Salo… hope the tea works!! I’ll be really upset if I get sick on the weekend!

I am biased against any tea that is deep red in colour and contains hibiscus, so I knew I would not give this tea a good rating even before I tasted it. This tisane was rather tart and I didn’t know whether it was due to hibiscus, rosehip, or combination of the two (I have no idea what rosehip tastes like because whenever there’s rosehip, there’s always hibiscus). It was very fruity, to the extent that I was half-expecting to see pulp in the cup. I found it easier to tolerate the tartness as the tisane cooled, because I could then tell myself to treat it as a fruit juice… and fruit juice was meant to be sour!

I do wonder about the rosehip/hibiscus pairing. They seem to do the same thing so having both always seems like overkill. But then I wonder how often even one of them is needed….they usually seem to be there for colour, but they also impart the dreaded tart!

Winter Salo

I agree in that when they are combined as the primary ingredients or only ingredients the tea or tissane they fail miserably and taste like a tarty overkill.

But I have had teas and tissanes where rosehip and hibiscus are along for the ride with other prominent flavour tones (berries, vanilla, etc) and in those cases they have added a nice crisp tartness that enhances but does not overtake the taste.

There are both fruity and floral notes in the tea; my guess is that they have used a blend of Darjeeling and Ceylon. Nothing too impressive but it’s all I need for a lazy Sunday morning ;)

A nice, soothing cup of green tea. Tastes like the green tea that is typically served in sushi joints in Hong Kong. It cleanses my palate and comforts my stomach after a heavy meal.

A very sweet herbal tea that tastes mainly of spearmint. It’s ok but I would prefer it to be more pepperminty.

Hmm… I don’t like this tea. I love rooibos but it seems that adding liquorice, cardamom and anise to it is a big mistake. The tea is nutty, spicy, and sweet – a really weird combination in my opinion. Not my cup of tea!
