Osnabrucker Steckenpferd

Sipdown (814)!

This was an alright tea – pretty easy drinking and smooth, though I found the flavour a bit flat/stale and uninteresting. I picked up on notes of apple and cinnamon, though both were subtler, allowing for more of the natural flavour of the black tea to come through. It’s just a shame that the black tea flavour wasn’t really anything exceptional.

Thanks for the share, Kittenna!

Had a bit of difficulty translating this tea… hopefully I haven’t duplicated an entry! Anyhow, this tea came to me via visitors from Germany, a few years ago. I believe I had two sample pouches of it, but apparently didn’t write a note about the first one.

This tea is actually really tasty! It’s a nice creamy green apple sort of flavour, without being too fakey. Base is nice, too. I could actually tell what it was even before looking it up, because it’s pretty distinctive. I’d love to have this again; my sample has enough for one more cup, which I’ll have to make sure I enjoy in the near future so it doesn’t go stale! (The best before date on the tea was in 2016, haha).

I haven’t had too many (or any other?) TeeGschwendner teas, but based on this, I’m certainly intrigued!

Also, of interest – the name of this tea translates to Osnabrucker hobbyhorse, haha. Maybe someone with a German background can clarify a little (although I believe there is actually a picture of a hobbyhorse on the package!)
