drank Imperial Label by Kusmi Tea
326 tasting notes

I ended up buying this as part of a set of five Kusmi green teas about two and a half years ago before I knew anything about tea as a gift for my boyfriend. He got through about half the tin and it’s been sitting at the back of the cupboard ever since.

I ended up uprooting the set during a tea purge this afternoon and though “hey, this might be nice to try”. No idea what the flavour was like when fresh but this was pretty heavy on the citrus and cinnamon (which I mistook for ginger). I get a slight hint of licorice towards the end of the sip at the back of the tongue and down the throat. I usually avoid licorice teas out of personal dislike for the taste, but don’t usually mind it if it’s there.

I wouldn’t buy this again, mostly because of the licorice, but I’m happy I gave it a chance.

Flavors: Citrus, Licorice

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 3 min, 30 sec 2 tsp 17 OZ / 500 ML

I still have a tin of this sitting around I got a few years ago. I don’t like it either but it makes me feel better if I have a cold.

I had a sore throat about a month ago; this would have been perfect.
