382 Tasting Notes
Strong, warming, fruity aroma.
Solid malty taste with strong but slightly withdrawn fruity notes.
Very good warming brew, not overdone with fruit, not artificial and not losing the base black tea.
Flavors: Blueberry, Fruity, Malt, Raspberry
Preparation
First of all, I really like the concept and appearance of Genmaicha. It contains beautiful, dark green leaves, small balls of roasted rice and small puffed rice clouds.
Brews into a very aromatic tea, full of base Japanese tea notes, roasted and nutty flavours from rice.
And, as one may expect, the taste is also complex and rich, with characteristics from tea and rice balanced into a really compelling mixture.
Flavors: Nutty, Popcorn, Roasted
Preparation
Wonderful milky aroma with hints of grassy, strawy oolong in the background.
Very rich taste, especially after it cools down a bit, milky, grassy, with distinct butterscotch character.
Wonderful milky oolong.
Flavors: Butterscotch, Grass, Milk, Straw
Preparation
I used to really like this tea some time ago, but I haven’t had it for a couple of years.
It has a very strong caramel aroma (obviously), not an artificial one, reminding me a bit of butterscotch candies.
The taste is mellow, caramelly, like melted toffee, with malty undertones in the background.
Very easy-going, warming tea, although I have too much experience now to enjoy it as much as before.
Flavors: Butterscotch, Caramel, Malt, Toffee
Preparation
Very strong, fruit and herbal, warming aroma.
Slightly sour in taste, complex, with all the ingredients well balanced.
Good winter brew.
Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Berries, Cinnamon, Clove, Fruity, Herbs, Orange Zest, Rosehips, Sour
Preparation
Straw, floral, leafy aroma, surprisingly strong given that this teabag was left forgotten for a couple of years in my cupboard.
Taste is very similar to Mat de Coca by Zurit, which I tasted two weeks ago. Straw-like, but less watery. Residual sweetness is much lower, which is a good thing. Zero bitternes, zero sourness.
Flavors: Straw
