412 Tasting Notes
Aroma: strong wild strawberry, subtle blackberry, blackcurrant, some apple.
Taste: a bit sour, with strong black currant notes (with leaves!).
Rich and very fruity.
Flavors: Apple, Black Currant, Blackberry, Fruity, Sour, Strawberry
Preparation
Smells just like a baked apple with cinnamon and a touch of vanilla. Fantastic!
In taste it’s too bland, the apple and spicy notes are too subtle, too much in the background.
Adding a bit of sugar helps focus the taste a little, but I remain disappointed.
Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Vanilla
Preparation
Leaf version.
After the first steep the bergamot was on the front, followed by a subtle impression of orange zest and then long, earthy aftertaste.
In the second steep the bergamot and zest disappeared, and earthiness was much more subtle, replaced by fantastic malty and nutty notes.
Flavors: Bergamot, Earth, Malt, Nutty, Orange Zest
Preparation
Cinnamon is the most evident, there’s also nice spiciness from pepper and ginger, as well as subtle anise and clove notes.
The problem is, there’s not enough tea in it, so it tastes much better when brewed along with an additional bag of black tea
And even better when made more “chai” style – with a solid splash of milk and some sugar.
Flavors: Anise, Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger, Pepper
