Eek. This tea is rubbish. It’s far too sweet – even if you don’t sweeten it – and it doesn’t taste good at all. I’m a fan of Celestial Seasonings teas, but this is one I will not be buying again. Perhaps it would suit the taste of a young child or sweet-toothed adult, but blimey, it tastes like being slapped in the face with a giant apple-infused sugar cube.

It’s not a bad tea – Dilmah’s rarely are – but I would not drink it again. It’s regular Assam, but a tad more bitter, and slightly less pleasant. I reckon it’s the kind of tea for people who add milk – I don’t.

Brilliant cuppa! The flavours are pronounced, but not exaggerated, and very delectable.

drank Blueberry Vanilla Tea by Dilmah

The tea is not a bad one. However, I was disappointed in it, mostly because I could barely taste the vanilla. It’s pretty much just blueberry tea – which is not what I wanted – and an average one at that.

Sweeten it and stick it in the fridge overnight. The vanilla comes out!

It’s not the best of Twinings’ flavoured blacks, but it’s certainly not the worst. It’s not very remarkable, not particularly tasty. I’ll drink the whole box, but I will not buy it again.

I LOVE this tea. It tastes incredible – not too sweet, not at all bitter, and very special – and it has just enough caffeine to make it good enough for a morning cuppa.

My first impression of this tea was that it has a remarkable smell – and not a good one. The taste, however, surprised me, and positively so. It’s nothing too distinctive, it actually makes a rather simple cup, but it’s very pleasant and – my favourite part of it – doesn’t leave an aftertaste. It’s a very good post-meal tea.

Really, really good tea. The ginger is subtle, but gives the cup a little “jazz”.

Not particularly good. Tastes remarkably like the Assam tea from the same brand. Bitter, but pleasant enough.
