Not bad for a cheap brand. Malty, slightly astringent, with subtle earthy and very subtly smoky undertones. Definitely better than I expected from this gifted tea.

Strong apple and slightly citrusy aroma, cinnamon more in the back.
Distinct but fitting malic acidity, only a touch of stevia sweetness, cinammon and licorice appearing after a while.
Casual but nicely warming.

Honey component is artificial but still pleasant, apple is natural, just like all the other fruit, herbs and spices used here.
It’s nothing extraordinary, of course, but it’s a warming, pleasant brew.

Loyd tea isn’t readily available here in the Midwest US, but I stumbled across some at an outlet store a few years ago. This one was especially helpful during cold and flu season.

Here in Poland they are widely available in Lidl chain stores all over the country. Great price to quality factor.

If it is still available, there is a cranberry-ginger-manuka honey variety that is really tasty.

Mango, flowers, leaves, generally very warming and pleasant aroma.
Slightly sweetish taste, with no sourness but with complex fruity and flowery character. Only a trace of green tea in the back, but it’s not a surprise, since it is only b5% of the whole. ANd it’s too bad, because it would gibe this blend balance and even more complexity.
Not bad, but could have been better.

Perfumey and sweet in aroma, that’s for sure. With lots of artificial strawberry and cream flavour. Taste seems better, because it’s only slightly sweet and the flavouring seems to be a bit lost here, fortunately, so the base bland black tea is the main impression. Generally not recommend.

drank Chá Preto by Tetley

Really bland, absolutely watery, almost devoid of any taste. It’s not even bad, it’s just completely featureless.

I remember drinking black tea from Tetley during my Poland trip and well, this seems a wee better :D

Dominated by sweetish, artificial vanilla, then slight blueberry note and a bit of malty base tea in the back. Drinkable but rather meh. 50/100

I like the base black tea character in here. Only marginally astringent, slightly bitter, really characterful for a bagged tea, with subdued but discernible lemon note. 70/100

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.
