412 Tasting Notes
Dark red colour.
Aroma dominated by hibiscus with only a bit of orange, quite bland and one dimensional.
Slightly sour in taste, with distinct hibiscus notes and nice ginger spicyness.
Generally not bad for a fruit tea, but it definitely should be called “Hibiscus & Ginger”…
Flavors: Ginger, Hibiscus, Orange Zest, Sour
Preparation
Aroma is very rich and powerful. Distinct pu-erh notes perfectly blend with cocoa beans, nutmeg and subtle zesty notes.
The taste is even more complex. Cinnamon and nutmeg intertwine each other, then come the basic pu-erh taste with rich cocoa.
Drinking it is like eating gingerbred cookies with chocolate chips. Perfect. :)
Flavors: Chocolate, Cinnamon, Citrus Zest, Cocoa, Earth, Nutmeg
Preparation
Strong pu-erh smell combined with subtle citrusy (not necessarily grapefruity notes).
Refreshing citrusy notes in taste, along with earthy pu-erh notes, though the base tea is quite low quaiity.
Flavors: Citrus, Earth, Grapefruit, Wet Earth
Preparation
Green tea aroma, obviously, accompanied by herbal, flowery, biscuity and honey notes.
Slight bitterness, all in all the taste is not bad for a corporate bag tea.
Flavors: Bitter, Flowers, Herbs, Hibiscus, Honey
Preparation
Aroma dominated by strawberries and blackberries, quite mild. Black tea notes very subtle.
A lot of blackberries in taste, subtle strawberries. The fruit notes are nice, but the base black tea is very bland, so all in all I can’t recommend it.
Flavors: Blackberry, Strawberry
Preparation
Aroma is very perfumey, definitely more toffee than caramel, sweet. There is strong vanilla, and caramel, of course.
Fortunately taste is only slightly sweet, a bit earthy, with nice vanilla notes, toffee and caramel.
Nut really my, nomen omen, cup of tea, but it’s really suitable for desserts.
Flavors: Caramel, Earth, Perfume, Sweet, Toffee, Vanilla
Preparation
Sweet aroma, smells like rhubarb pie with subtle flowery notes.
Earthy notes from black tea, subtle toffee, very subtle rhubarb.
All in all it’s quite good, not overflavoured.
Flavors: Earth, Flowers, Rhubarb, Sweat, Toffee
Preparation
Strong milk, warm butter and butterscotch aroma, solid ooolong notes in the background.
Subdued bitterness, strong milky aromas, subtle buttery aftertaste.
Certainly unusual, but really good.
Flavors: Butter, Butterscotch, Earth, Milk
Preparation
Really strong black currant aroma, faint traces of strawberry and raspberry aromas.
The taste is also dominated by black currant, other fruits are barely noticeable. Base black tea is malty, earthy and solid.
Flavors: Black Currant, Blackberry, Earth, Malt, Raspberry, Strawberry
