I tried this tea 45 minutes after my dinner to freshen my breath and see if this tea lives up to it’s name.

Colour: Brown with a golden glow.
Smell: Super minty.

Taste: This tea is strong and refreshingly minty and is definitely not for those that like subtle flavours. It’s certainly strong enough to freshen the breath after any meal and is also said to help aid digestion. The two mints combined (spearmint and peppermint) leave a full on cool minty menthol tango on the tongue that slips down easily.

If you love mint as much as I do then this tea is for you. :)

Colour: Golden brown.
Smell: Lavender and lemon.

Taste: This has a minty, floral flavour which is tasty yet fairly subtle and airy. After the first taste of mint you get a floral lavender and then zesty lemon flavours that come out to play. The smell reminds me of lavender and herbal pillows that you can buy to aid your sleep only in this case you have a lovely drink instead.

Lavender can taste a little bitter at times and it is certainly a refined flavour but boy does it make you sleepy. Half way down this mug and I am yawning inconsolably, so while this isn’t the best tasting tea available it works well for making you sleepy and relaxed.

Colour: Dark gold.
Smell: Sweet and crisp apple with lemon and floral undertones.

Taste: Fresh and natural apple with a hint of sweet pineapple also with light lemon and floral tones. The more you drink the stronger the apple and fruit flavours become, overall this is a nice mellow fruity blend. Everything blends well together so you don’t have any bitter or harsh tastes like some other fruit teas have. You also get an added flavour once you have passed your cups half way point, mystical liquorice root. Now I am not such a fun of liquorice in tea as they can usually become over powering in flavour but this blends in nicely in the background.

Colour: Dark honey.
Smell: Freshly citrus.

Taste: First few sips reveal a mellow mixture of flavours. I can taste the sharp sweetness of the lemongrass, the deep menthol of the eucalyptus and the earthy freshness of the nettle. Overall this creates a beautifully fragrant and relaxing experience that strengthens with each sip.

This truly is a lovely and well balanced blend that has left me feeling relaxed and at ease.

Colour: Dark coffee brown.
Smell: Sweet juicy peach.

The taste is not as strong as the smell which is a little disappointing. The peach and passionfruit are the first flavours you can taste before the black tea creates a sharp after taste. The balance is not the best but it’s also not the worst. It could do with stronger fruit flavours for me as I like my fruit tea very fruity.

I received a few samples of this tea from a friend in Scotland.

A nice refreshing tea with a ceylon flavour boosted by a floral/herbal after taste. Lovely for something a little different, it almost reminds me of a jasmine taste but without so much floral bitterness in flavour.

My last cup of tea before bed time.

Colour: Dark reddy brown.
Smell: Earthy and strong.

In my first few sips I can taste the pu erh, the papaya and the rooibos. It’s an interesting mixture that is deep and strong in flavour with a slight sweetness making it smooth and slip down easily. It’s very stimulating and gives you a jolt of energy.
As you drink more you can taste the tea getting stronger and stronger, now the mate and petals become more notable.
Overall this a nice tasting and interesting blend that is well worth trying.

This has lovely large leaves and petals in the mixture which was a nice novelty for me as everything I try lately looks almost blended together and processed.

Colour: Light honey.
Smell: Sweet and bitter

This tastes the same as it smells, you have the slight bitterness of the sencha green tea and the sweetness of the rose petals. If you find green tea too bitter then this would be a nice blend for you as the rose petals give natural sweetness to the sencha green which takes away most of the bitterness and leaves your mouth feeling fresh.

The tea slips down smoothly and remains sweet and light in the after taste. Perfect.

Even before brewing this tea has a sweet scent combination of strawberry and raspberry and smells good enough to eat.

Colour: Brown with a gold hue.
Smell: Berries and pineapple, it smells super fruity.

In one word this tea is BEAUTIFUL. In two words this tea is BEAUTIFULLY FRUITY. You can taste the pineapple, strawberry and raspberry making it a fruity combination with the Darjeeling, Ceylon and Gunpowder green leaving a light, smoky yet sweet taste in your mouth. It is sweet without being overly and unnaturally sweet.
I could drink this all day.
