412 Tasting Notes
Passion fruit, mango and pineapple are evident in aroma. Banana – very subtle, I probably wouldn’t sense it if not the ingredient list. Slight earthy notes from the base tea in the background.
Passion fruit dominates the taste, with banana a little behind and other fruits and base tea notes in the back.
All in all it’s not bad, really fruity.
Flavors: Earth, Mango, Passion Fruit, Pineapple
Preparation
Good balance between malty character of the base tea and fresh notes of lemon peels in aroma.
In taste the peel notes are dominant, the base tea is in the background.
Nice, refreshing, with strong essential oils.
Flavors: Lemon, Lemon Zest, Malt
Preparation
Very strong and very fruity aroma, with evident notes of blackberry, raspberry and strawberry.
The taste is not that rich. There are fruity notes, of course, no sweetness at all, very subtle sourness and some maltiness in background, but the overall impression is very far from overwhelming.
Flavors: Blackberry, Malt, Raspberry, Strawberry
Preparation
Nice deep colour.
Strong malty flavour.
The taste is quite characterful for a Pickwick, rich but at the same rounded, with only slight astringency.
Nothing special, but for a Pickwick it’s quite extraordinary. :)
Flavors: Malt, Round
Preparation
Boring, bland aroma with bergamot on the sensory threshold.
Generic corporate black tea as the base, with subtle malty notes and again, barely discernible traces of bergamot.
All in all it’s a just a corporate vision of Earl Grey.
Flavors: Malt
Preparation
Bergamot and citrus aromas of equal strength, quite refreshing, slight malty character.
Bergamot is very subtle, the citrusy notes are more eminent. Slight astringency.
All in all it’s just a typical corporate product – base black tea of dubious quality, not enough aromas, not enough taste.
Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Earth, Lemon
Preparation
Strong ginger and nice lemon grass in aroma, slight peppery notes, a little liquorice.
Very subtle green tea in taste, disctinct spicy notes from ginger and pepper, a lot of lemon undertones.
Good, balanced, the adjuncts only slightly dominate the proper tea, very refreshing.
Flavors: Lemon, Lemon Zest, Lemongrass, Licorice, Pepper
Preparation
Very strong but rather artificial strawberry aroma, like in sweets.
Nice, maltish base, subtle strawberry notes (in taste they seem more natural).
The overall impression is not bad, especially for a Pickwick.
Flavors: Malt, Strawberry
Preparation
It really smells like warm, freshly baked lemon macaroons! With subtle green tea notes in the background.
It’s not sweet. The base green tea is not high quality, of course, but it’s quite discernible. There are strong lemon peel notes (not sour) and strong biscuit notes.
Not bad (for Lipton).
Flavors: Cake, Fruity, Lemon Zest
