270 Tasting Notes
This is my first fancy tea from Harney. It came in a special tin. It seems like you get a ton for just the two ounces as well which is nice. But I found this tea to just be ok and not really worth the cost but it may be me. Has a very vegetal taste. Meannnn green. Black tea is still my absolute favorite. Still looking for a green that will change my mind though, this wasnt it. The leaves were whole and a nice yellow green though. So far, I havent had a similar looking tea to this
A classic English breakfast tea. It’s pleasant. Mostly really broken down tea leaves. Its a Chinese black tea and through my tea experimenting I have found I have a preference for Teas from India. This is mild, but still gives me a caffeine kick that can keep me awake on some nights. Slightly fruity not as malty. Although its a classic, I would go for the Irish breakfast tea over this one. It is a little deeper and richer which I prefer. Not bad though.
The first two Vadham teas I tried, I loved- this one I expected to love because I love Cardamom but not so. It has those little balls of rolled up tea which I have had before in a Harry Potter tea set I got as a gift from my sister. Its like the tea is not rounded enough or is generally lacking something for me. I do like the Cardamom. Idk there are other chai flavors in the sampler set I prefer more. Wouldn’t purchase a large of this one
This is for the tea called malve, I think its just hibiscus. I just dont feel like adding another so here we go. Its your regular degular slightly sour, lotta body, hibiscus. If you need hibiscus, it will do! Would only rec. if you need hibiscus.
Flavors: Sour
I think I’m basic. I decided to try out a few breakfast teas because after Lipton that was my first tea love. With milk and sugar of course. I’m sure I had an Irish breakfast tea before, although it was years ago. I really like this one. Its strong, I can get multiple steepings, 2 great and a third ok one. Can brew quite awhile and doesn’t go astringent. Holds up to milk and sugar. Can make a latte or Thai tea style very well. It’s a great black tea. The leaves are quite chopped up, not a full leaf tea and thats ok. The price and the flavor is right.
