Smells perfect, like a hot apple pie.
The taste is sweetish, with strong apple notes and a bit of cinnamon and raisins in the background..
A bit too watery, but generally not bad.

There’s probably more taste from the paper bag than from the tea itself in this one… Bland, watery, uninteresting.

I would call this tea unobtrusive. It’s smooth, not harsh, not overly bland but there’s nothing distinct in it. To drink, not to savour.

Flavors: Malt

This one’s basic but man is it one of my favorites! So very very good with milk and sugar.

Thank you for your comment. I usually drink my teas neat, because I think that with milk and sugar they all taste alike, but maybe I will go with your suggestion and try it this way.

Surprisingly balanced! Strong earthy and maty notes from base tea, no sweetness, solid orange notes and some spices in the background. Nicely warming and definitely worth repeating!

Very strong fruit aroma. Mainly cherries, but also strawberries. Raspberries and red currants hide in the background.

Not bad.

The colour is pale gold with a slight haziness.
Strong fruity aroma with blueberries and goji in balance, a bit sweetish.
The taste is also sweetish, slightly fruity, with straw notes from low-quality base green tea.
Mediocre tea, not recommended.

Bio

I drink tea almost all the time.

However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.

1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…

2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.

I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
