Pumpernickel, vanilla, nuts and a bit of cocoa in aroma.
Rich and complex flavour, with solid malty body, distinct astringency and quite long aftertaste.
Very interesting and delicious tea.

Aroma is… caramel and mango, as can be expected. Strong, warming, fairly natural.
Flavour is caramelly, fortunately only slightly sweet, with base black tea barely showing through and mango undertones in the back.
Nice winter warmer.

Lovely straw colour.
Lots of cardamom (mainly) and cloves in aroma, some apple and base green tea straw notes more in the back.
Lots of spices in flavour, with base green tea and apple forming a delicate background.
Not as warming as I thought it would be, but tasty, even if tad bland. Could use some more characterful tea as base and more apple, but I don’t see it as a flaw.

Flavors: Apple, Cardamom, Cloves, Straw

Lots of orange peel (with albedo) and cinnamon in aroma. Partly natural, partly artificial. Partly pleasant and warming, partly unpleasant and disturbing.
And plenty of cinnamon in flavor, plus fresh citrusy notes a a bit of bitterness from orange peel.
I really like the orange part, it’s pleasant and warming. But the cinnamon… Either the tea is overdone with the spice, or this cinnamon lacks somewhat in the quality department. Could have been great, yet it’s only passable.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Orange, Orange Zest

Strong lemon and honey aorma, seems fairly natural, balanced and warming. Only a trace of base black tea underneath.
Lots of lemon in taste without any acidity, then medium-quality black tea, than a subtle note of honey in the background, just its flavor, not sweetness.
Warming and casual, with no pretense to be anything more.

Flavors: Honey, Lemon, Lemon Zest

Very low aroma. Mainly straw notes of the base white tea plus a bit of peach and some vague flowery notes.
And the taste is so watery. Not enough base tea character, not enough peach and orange flowers.
Bland and completely uninteresting.

Watery black tea with just a little bit of pear and orange. Not exactly bad, but certainly nothing to be excited about.

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.
