81 Tasting Notes
I thought I would like this tea more than I did. I’ve enjoyed (and still enjoy) a lot of black teas with maple flavouring, but this feels a little too sweet and too creamy, and slightly artificial? The blend looks lovely, and it’s totally drinkable, but not my favourite.
Flavors: Cream, Maple Syrup, Tannin, Vanilla
Preparation
really, really love this tea!!! it’s so beautiful. i’d never tried a black tea with rice before (i’ve had a few green teas with rice) but this was just beautiful. it looks lovely when steeped. it’s very sweet and very aromatic (filled with berries!) and a pleasure to drink. i’m sad i only bought 50 grams. <3
Flavors: Blueberry, Brown Sugar, Caramel, Maple, Nutty, Rice, Tannin, Vanilla
Preparation
This is a really lovely tea. Floral, tropical, earthy, lots of body and transforms as you drink it. Really delightful! A hidden gem.
Flavors: Coconut, Green, Malt, Pineapple, Tropical Fruit
Preparation
Adding this note to remind myself that I don’t really like this tea! I find it very floral and it smells lovely, but it has no body and isn’t very interesting.
Flavors: Floral, Fruity
Preparation
One of my favourite breakfast teas of all time. It just doesn’t compare! So malty, warm, full of tannins but never bitter, even if I over steep it. So, so beloved. The leaves even have this beautiful brown/green moment when steeped. I enjoy it so much.
Flavors: Caramel, Malt, Smoke, Tannin, Tobacco, Vanilla, Wood
Preparation
My sister-in-law gave me this for Christmas, and it was really lovely. Light, refreshing, but also soothing. Minty, lemony, easy, it’s a really nice nighttime tea.
Flavors: Chamomile, Floral, Lemon, Lemongrass, Mint
Preparation
I like this one, but I don’t know when to drink it. I love black and green tea together usually, but this is sort of … mossy and smoky and black tea. It’s a finely made tea, but I’m not sure if it’s for me, or if I would buy it again.
Flavors: Grassy, Green, Malt, Tannin, Vegetal
Preparation
I bought this tea for my mother-in-law, whose tea of choice is Blackcurrant black tea from Twining’s. It worked well enough, but wasn’t as fine as Twining’s tea. It was a little overly sweet and you could separately taste the tea and then the flavouring. Not the best, but it works in a pinch.
(Also so bizarre that I forget about this random website and then recall it once every two or three years lmao.)
Flavors: Black Currant, Floral, Sweet
Preparation
really ended up enjoying this a lot! warm, sweet, simple, a little artificial but not too bad – just a really easy tea to have in the evening.
Flavors: Brown Sugar, Caramel, Sweet, Toffee
