Aroma is very heavy with anise and licorice, with some cinnamon, cloves and pepper notes.

The taste is obviously quite sweet, really peppery, with strong anise and cinnamon.

Can be really good with a splash of milk.

Very strong and refreshing lemon aroma, subtle green tea notes in the background.
Assertive, strong, slightly tart green tea notes dominate the taste. Lemon notes are in the backgroud, stronger than subtle aloe vera.
All in all the tea is very good and well composed. Lemon and aloe vera do not dominate, the main focus is definitely on the green tea.

Flavors: Citrusy, Grass, Lemon, Tart

drank Amazingly Grey by Lipton
412 tasting notes

Obviously in aroma I expected a lot of bergamot, but it’s lemon that dominates, along with slight earthy notes reminiscent of pu-erh.
The taste is also a bit earthy, but mainly bland, with only slight notes of lemon and bergamot.

They are claiming that “Lipton Amazingly Grey Tea is how Lipton does Early Grey”. Well, in that case they’re doing it wrong. The tea is barely “Grey” and definitely not “Amazing”. far from amazing, actually.

Flavors: Bergamot, Earth, Lemon

Very rich aroma. Liquorice, cocoa beans, fennel, cinnamon, cardamon, traces of mint, nutty flavours.
Distinctly sweet from liquorice, with subtle but nicely complementing cocoa notes, some spices, cinnamon mainly. Unfortunately, chilli is only on a threshold level. If I didn’t know that it is included, maybe I wouldn’t sense it. It should be called “Sweet liquorice and spices”, so despite it being quite good, I canl;t honestly recommend it.

Flavors: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cocoa, Fennel, Licorice, Mint, Nuts

drank Ginger Lemon Tea by Yogi Tea

Very pale, but that’s not surprising, given the contents.
The aroma is very gingery, with only very subtle lemon notes.
The taste is spicy, really gingery, with slight liquorice sweetness. lemon is hiding in the background, barely noticeable.

Not bad, very refreshing and warming, but misleading, bcause the lemon component is too weak.

Flavors: Ginger, Lemon, Licorice

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.
