Flavors: Black Pepper, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Licorice, Orange Zest
Preparation
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
Preparation
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
Preparation
Distinct vanilla aroma, doesn’t seem artificial, a bit sweet, reminds of vanilla ice cream. Slight malty and earthy notes in the background.
The taste is only slightly flavored, vanilla only compliments black tea notes.
Flavors: Earth, Malt, Vanilla
Preparation
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
Preparation
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
Preparation
Strong herbal aroma, with mixed notes from green and white tea, as well as subtle wet forest bed notes.
Solid, malty taste with slight bitterness. Strong roasted rice in th aftertaste.
Green and white tea are well blended here, showcasing their individual traits.
Flavors: Forest Floor, Herbs, Malt, Toasted Rice
