85 Tasting Notes
Ok so this is my new secret guilty pleasure that I really do not want to admit to people. I am enjoying the flavour of this tea, peach and all. Though today’s cup was a little more peachy than anything else.
Flavors: Peach, Sweet
Preparation
I am intrigued by this tea and how each cup is so different. I will admit that I shake the tin before opening (not sure why I do this), and perhaps this is why I pick up different flavours in each cup.
This round the dried leaf produced more of a pineapple/passion fruit scent. It brewed a lovely pale yellow with a sweet fruits aroma. I enjoyed every sip of the hot tea with its sweet and smooth passion fruit flavour.
Flavors: Passion Fruits, Smooth, Sweet
Preparation
Cannot get enough of this. Had to buy more on a recent trip to the mall and DavidsTea. It helps that my kids also enjoy the tea iced. I love it hot as well.
Sipping this iced right now while watching Mr. Mercedes (King is another one of my addictions).
Flavors: Green Melons, Melon, Sweet
Preparation
Bought this for the sole purpose of making it an iced tea only. I want to find better options for my children over their regular sugar flavoured juices and ice teas. After a few disappointments for them, I was a little worried that this one would not go over so well.
Dried the leaf smells like tangy fruits. Brewed it is a deep red colour with a very sweet fruity aroma. Every sip of the tea is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy. My kids love the lemonade flavour and will often argue about what fruits they taste more.
I guess it is a hit with them too.
Flavors: Fruity, Lemon, Sour, Sweet, Tangy
Preparation
I am still undecided about this tea. I will drink what I have hear, but will probably not keep it stocked in my cupboard.
Dried the leaf scent is a pleasant dark chocolate. It brews a dark brown colour and produces a resemblance of toffee. Taste wise, it was a bitter chocolate flavour. The bitter taste is very over powering and mutes the chocolate flavours.
Flavors: Bitter, Chocolate
Enjoyed another cup of this tea with breakfast. I find it interesting that each brew takes on a different taste though.
Dried it smelled like burnt caramel. It brewed an orange brown colour and smelt like an earthy toasted caramel. While sipping the cup I was reminded of toasted marshmellows.
Flavors: Marshmallow, Toasted
Preparation
Decided to brew this hot today and was very pleased that I had not given up on it. Though it isn’t as blackberry flavoured as I had hoped.
Dried the leaf smelt like blackberries. Brewed it was was a lovely deep rose colour with a sweet berry aroma. The taste was a sweet fruity flavour, which was much better than the iced version.
Flavors: Fruity, Sweat
Preparation
Ah! There you are you tart little tease! I knew it was only a matter of time before the rhubarb would rear its beautiful face. I can honestly say I am now happy I purchased this.
Dried the leaf reminded me of a creamy strawberry candy. It brewed a delightful strawberry colour with a fruity aroma. The first sip was creamy with a hint of strawberry but subsequent sips were tart and delightful.
Flavors: Creamy, Strawberry, Tart
Another attempt at trying this tea; thankfully there was no slumber this time around.
Dried the scent I picked up this round was black licorice (I love black licorice so I was excited – but think there is something wrong with my nose lol). It brewed a brownish purple colour with a cooked blueberries aroma. Taste wise, I am still picking a bitter black tea flavouring with a hint of blueberries.
Flavors: Bitter, Blueberry
