259 Tasting Notes
A blend that uses the classic ingredients to create a perfectly aromatic, classic chai feel, in both the aroma and flavour. However, unlike traditional chai, the tea remains smooth and doesn’t adopt strong, bitter notes, making this easy to enjoy both black and without sugar or honey. Overall, this blend seems perfect, with just the right amount of spices.

The aroma is a sweet reflection of marzipan, so accurate you can practically taste it. However the taste has more similarity with toasted nuts combined with a slight burnt finish. When milk is added this diminishes a little, allowing the almond notes to become a tad more prominent.
Flavors: Almond, Burnt, Nutty, Toasted
Scottish grown leaves make this brew into something a little special! Taken black, it creates a malt tea, that’s a little on the bitter side, with light citrus and notes of clove. Adding milk reduces the already subtle flavours, with only the clove remaining, making it a fairly plain blend.
Flavors: Cloves, Tea
Flavors: Citrus, Creamy
A hit of fennel gives this blend a herbal sort of feel. However, the predominant note is the sweet honey like disposition of rooibos, which combines with ginger to create a sweet and mildly spicy blend. A fair gingerbread replication.
Flavors: Fennel, Spices
A strong cinnamon aroma is lightly transferred into the honeyed caramel rooibos, with minor hints of vanilla. The finish is long, with a healthy tangy zing of ginger lingering on the tongue, making it seem like a bite of Gingerbread has genuinely been taken! A captivating spicy blend, that truly reflects the flavours of its name!
Flavors: Caramel, Ginger, Pepper, Spices
The dry aroma is fruity, yet sharp, with a mingled whiff of aniseed. Once steeped the aroma turns to sweet cinnamon notes and a liquid of deep yellow, whilst the flavour is an elixir of prominent cinnamon and aniseed, with a subtle hay note. This isn’t necessarily the prettiest looking blend and the combination of ingredients is a little unusual, but the notes are warming and tasty, capturing the essence of Christmas well enough. A bit of an oddball, nothing extravagant, but nothing to be overlooked either.

Flavors: Fruity, Grass, Spicy
The aroma is slightly almondy, but the flavour is a super fruity concoction that has a sharp and sour kick in the aftertaste. This is combined with a light musty undernote. There wasn’t really a spiced note to this, however it is very flavourful!

Flavors: Fruity, Musty
A caramel aroma, that contains a spicy rum like essence, is reflected deeply in the flavour with added vanilla notes, creating a sweet and creamy brew that is both smooth and robust. Add a dash of milk to tone down the strong honey notes of rooibos and create an additional creamed essence.

The smell is a lightly musty and spiced, a little like a mulled wine. However, the flavour, whilst retaining the light spiced element, is more fruity tea, with warm blackcurrant type flavours and a tart sour tang. It’s enjoyable, unfortunately nothing special.
A very unique tea!
