Karel Capek

This is the first tea I tasted from this brand when you open the bag the smell is amazing but once you taste it the apple is gone and the only flavor is from the black tea. So quite disappointing

This tea should not be drank alone… it’s strong- which can be good, but just the cocoa taste with the milky flavoring was very overwhelming. This might be decent actually brewed in warm milk which I will not try.

I decided to buy a sampler of Karel Capek teas because I won’t come across them. This was the first one I drank because I wanted something fruity. I must say that it was much better than I had thought it would taste. The apple taste is quite evident but the black tea base wasn’t the best of quality so it was a bit rough on the bitter side. I ended up drinking the whole cup so that says something right?

My 2nd note on this tea. I think I like it more and more… its apple flavour always reminds me the of the happy moments in my childhood and cheers me up when I feel depressed by work. It’s my happy tea!

Karel Capek is a Japanese tea shop famous for flavoured tea in cute tins. There are real apple pieces in the tea but it’s heavily scented with artificial apple flavouring! When I say artificial I am serious – when I opened the bag of tea, I was greeted by a smell that reminded me of my fruit-flavour toothpaste in childhood! :0 Fortunately, the taste is more natural than its smell… the mellow sweetness makes it a pretty nice dessert tea after all.
