382 Tasting Notes
Very strong peppermint aroma with traces of fennel seeds.
Licorice is much more evident in taste, but the tea is fairly balanced, with all three components well discernible.
Rally nice herbal tea, made from high quality ingredients.
Flavors: Fennel, Licorice, Peppermint
Preparation
Not my first mate de coca, but first in a long time.
Smells a lot like green tea, a bit like straw, a bit flowery.
Straw-like taste, rather thin and watery. A bit of residual sweetness, zero bitterness or sourness.
Curiosity, yes. It was nice to taste it, but I wouldn’t drink it in mass amounts even if it was legal in Europe.
Flavors: Straw
Preparation
Nice bouquet of orange peel, cloves and vanilla, very warming, very wintery.
Very balanced taste, with base black tea nicely complimented by peels and spices. But also very mellow, one could even say a bit bland and boring.
Not bad. Just not distinct enough.
Flavors: Clove, Orange Zest, Spicy, Vanilla
Preparation
Slightly spicy and earthy aroma.
A mixture of spices in the taste. Largely unrecognisable, but cardamom definitely comes to the front. And there is a solid earthy background from the base black tea.
Not bad as an everyday tea, specially from Lipton, but there’s nothing fancy about it.
Flavors: Cardamom, Earth, Spicy
Preparation
Wonderful aroma of roasted rice, milk chocolate and a bit of coffee, plus very subtle green tea notes in the background.
Velvety, mellow texture, with all the ingredients fully detectable, but nothing stands out too much. Great warming and soothing blend.
Flavors: Chocolate, Coffee, Roasted
Preparation
Aroma definitely dominated by the base Pu Erh tea, with only traces of lemongrass and fruit.
Taste is more complex. Fruity and flowery notes are balanced and well blended into the tea itself, resulting in a warming brew.
Flavors: Flowers, Fruity, Lemongrass
Preparation
Very earthy taste, with strong suggestions of smoke, dry, with almost no bitterness and very little astringency.
Clearly a high quality tea, but one that can be enjoyed on an everyday basis.
Flavors: Earth, Smoke
