From THEODOR

This Chinese black tea’s notes are going to surprise all palates with their originality and their intensity. Flavors of fruits, orange, lemon are released from its long black leaves, accompanied by spicy notes reminding you of cinnamon, vanilla, and particularly the flavors you like to rediscover during Christmas season, such as mulled wine.

This black tea that you will enjoy savoring throughout the year, will be even more appreciated during winter time, with year’s end celebrations approaching, when the mood is filled with flavors and colors.

For lovers of spicy tea, a very light infusion of this tea will be enough in order to bring out flavors of cinnamon, clove and citrus fruits, with this greedy side that you like to savor through Christmas teas.

For those rather looking for more intense notes and less fruity, the tea leaves will have to be brewed a little longer. The flavors of spices and mulled wine will then remain more present in your mouth, offering a structured and balanced tea.

Through the dark and amber-colored water, you will appreciate its top notes of candied fruits, and savor little by little spicier flavors in middle notes, reminding you of cinnamon and clove. These greedy flavors will leave in your mouth the real feeling of tasting mulled wine.

With its mellow and wide texture in your mouth, your taste buds are going to take great pleasure in savoring this flavored black tea with notes of mulled wine and spices on any occasion, in order to allow yourself some Christmas flavors before it is time.

Advent tea
A nice mild but warming cup with orange, clove, and pepper spices. A fall spice pallet, without the cinnamon. Easy to drink, not fussy to brew, I’d certainly enjoy more of this tea if I had the chance, boy my list of new to me tea companies keeps growing.

French Friday! Randomly pulled this one from the French tea bag of happiness from Dustin! Thanks Dustin!

The dry tea smells just like cola! I love cola teas so that is promising. Brewed 2.5g for 3 minutes in 350ml 205F water. The brewed tea smells even stronger of cola; trying to break it down, it’s a generic spice note (perhaps a little sweet cinnamon forward?) and a citrusy note (smells like lemon-lime).

The tea is smooth and sweet; I get a citrusy note that tastes most closely to lime to me, but rather than having a tart or biting quality a very sweet flavor is left after the sip, like honey or vanilla. Midsip and lingering after the sip is a soft, sweet spice note, warming but not spicy. Mostly I get a sweet cinnamon note; the anise is not coming through with a licorice taste, for those worried about that.

This is described as “mulled wine” by THEODOR but I’m not getting that at all! It’s entirely warm, uncarbonated cola to me, which is one of my favorite flavors in tea. Probably my favorite I’ve had so far!

I oversteeped this and possibly overleafed it too. It has a baked spiced muffin sort of feel to it. Lots of spices and deep or low notes. It doesn’t have bright notes, it’s really dark and deep and almost murky. The start of the sip is a little brighter and sharp, but it doesn’t transition smoothly to the later part of the sip and finish. Anise is very present, but somehow in the background. I’m not hating this cup, but I’m a little perplexed by it and I do wonder how much of it is due to user error.
