drank Turkish Apple by Pickwick

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.

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.

Really strong and sweet mango aroma.
Still strong in taste, but not as dominant. Too bad the basic blakc tea is very bland and mediocre.

drank Orange by Pickwick

The proper black tea is very bland, and the orange peel flavors are too subtle. I suppose that this might taste better with a little sugar.

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

Strong aroma with plenty of quince.
Quince is dominant in taste. The black tea in background is plain and generic, but thanks to quince the tea is quite good.

Flavors: Earth, Fruity

Very strong licorice aroma.
Slight sweetness and plenty of licorice over rather bland, generic black tea.
Nevertheless, the licorice makes it worthwhile.

Flavors: Earth, Licorice, Oak, Sweat

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.
