Steepster — TastetheTea

If a Russian Earl Grey and a Chai tea had a baby, this is what they would birth. A smooth tea with spicy notes, an aroma that fills the room like a spiced candle, emitting a rich complex scent. Notes of cinnamon and cardamom are clear, with a back note of orange. This particular product is a regular winter tea for Kusmi. In 2016, to celebrate 150th year of kusmi, it donned a beautiful black and gold caddy, inspired by the tiaras worn by Tsar princesses. In 2017, the caddy is full golden. It’s beautiful, but disappointingly the price has increased from £24.80 in 2016, an the content has decreased from 250g. Bad move Kusmi.

259 tasting notes

Great Taste Award winner of 2014, this heavy roasted oolong has been slowly fired over wood charcoal for 2-3 days, in order to give it distinct warming caramel and toasted notes, making it a perfect fire side beverage.

TastetheTea drank Spicy Rooibos by Tea Shirt London

259 tasting notes

The combination of rooibos and spices seems to create an orange aroma and flavour, giving this blend not just clear spiced notes of cardamom, but a citrus twang too. This combined with the rooibos, which isn’t apparent until the finish, turns the cup into a naturally sweet and warming tea.

A blend that contains tea leaves grown in England, making this an extra special tin of tea! Before the leaves are even steeped you can detect a sweet essence raising from the leaves. A sip is all it take to fall in love with the smooth, sweet and succulent flavours. The otherness of it brings your lips back to the cup each time to savour the beautiful gentle notes of this ethereal blend!

TastetheTea drank Santas Helper by O Tea

259 tasting notes

O Teas got the aroma of Santa’s Helper bang on! It smells like a spiced Xmas Yankee candle! Smells. So. Good. Unfortunately, the flavour isn’t as glorious, tasting much like a standard malty black tea with a spoon of cinnamon dolloped in. It doesn’t taste bad, in fact it may even taste good, but it’s not particularly complex, nor does it match fabulous the aroma.

TastetheTea drank Chocolate Cinnamon Rooibos by Piacha

259 tasting notes

The packet forces a strong cardamom flavour, that is both inescapable and welcome. When steeped, the aroma is delicate in comparison, with sweet rooibos and cinnamon notes. The flavour has small hints of chocolate, but is predominantly a sweet concoction of honeyed rooibos and spiced cinnamon notes. They mingle with the cardamom, giving it a sweet caramel flavour.

TastetheTea drank Pain D’Epices Chai by Dandylion Tea

259 tasting notes

This carries the aroma of a good strong and classic chai. As with most chai blends the taste is a little bitter, so it’s best taken with sugar or honey and a little milk, to create a lovely warming malty tea. Dandylion Tea suggests this to be a dessert blend, to be paired with anything sweet.

TastetheTea drank Mulled Wine by Shibui Leaf Tea

259 tasting notes

The dry aroma is fruity. Steeped it replicates mulled wine with earthy, musky, mild fruit and spiced notes. The only improvement would be if the spices were a little stronger. Despite this, the tea is easy to fall in love with, leaving you with a moreish want for its warmth. Incredibly, it’s also tasty iced, being much the same but with stronger cinnamon notes.

TastetheTea drank Mulled Fruit Infusion by Leaf Tea Shop

259 tasting notes

An especially spicy aroma that will make you all giddy and excitable. Words can’t describe how Christmas-y and yummy the infusion smells (I wish the interest had scratch and sniff!) The flavour is surprisingly complex, starting with spiced notes, that gather around a fruit base of citrusy orange. There’s also an added musk of hibiscus, but the blend finishes with all flavours mingling together and a lasting ginger zing.

TastetheTea drank mulled apple brandy by Nothing But Tea

259 tasting notes

Where the aroma is a clear cinnamon, the flavour presents itself in an unusual mix of powdery florals, mild fruits, light spices and a pine like tang. A totally weird mix, but the cinnamon brings the blend into the festivities, making it a great Christmas tea that offers something different.
