Teekanne

This one is from Teekanne Green & White 6×5 pack. I almost never buy tea bags, but this was a nice opportunity to try out few different teas for decent price.

I’m almost done tasting all six teas from this pack. This one has a nice natural, a bit zesty lemon aroma. With first sip it reminds me of certain blend from local tea house, which reminds me that I’ll have to add those to my cupboard later… Now back to this cuppa. This one has decent body, with lemon notes lingering few moments after swallowing. I’m quite surprised since it lacks any astringency, which wasn’t the case in previous bags from this pack.
I’m getting the idea that this cuppa could achieve 85+ with few lemon juice drops and spoonful of honey. Alas, I drink my teas as is most of the time, and frankly I’m lazy right now to test my theory.
To wrap it up, it’s quite nice cuppa, I’m going to enjoy few more bags that I have.

This one is from Teekanne Green & White 6×5 pack. I almost never buy tea bags, but this was a nice opportunity to try out few different teas for decent price. I tried steeping it by instructions (100C, 3-5 min), but it was horrid, now I’m doing it my way.

It isn’t a rare for green tea aroma to be described somewhat peach-y, and flavoring it with the same might be a bullseye…or not…we’ll see.
I got used to tea bags giving murky liquor, so I won’t complain much about it. Actually I’m going to say that pleasant peach aroma rising from this cuppa makes me eager to sip it.
Seconds later… I get a bit surprised with green note, I really didn’t expect it here. It feels dry as it lingers and boosting overall impression with tobacco-licorice finish. You do get a bit of astringency if you slurp it, but all in all it’s a decent green cuppa for tea bag.

This one is from Teekanne Green & White 6×5 pack. I almost never buy tea bags, but this was a nice opportunity to try out few different teas for decent price. What confuses me with this one are steeping instructions: 100 Celsius, 3-5 min. I tried it their way, was terrible, now I’m going to do it my way.

This tea is rather murky with dull note to it. Aroma is better part though, I can sense something between mango and fermented watermelon. With first sip I feel its thin body ended with hint of astringency after swallowing. There isn’t much more to say about this cuppa, it doesn’t please nor punish my senses for sipping it, but it’s definitely better brewed on 82 rather than 100 Celsius.
I also note that as it cools it gets less astringent but it also gives you that dry mouth sensation, including tongue and throat. I think I’m pretty much finished with this one,.

Here I go… This is my first tea note on steepster. I want to start with something simple, tea bag that is. My loose leaf teas will have to wait a bit.

This one is from Teekanne Green & White 6×5 pack. I almost never buy tea bags, but this was a nice opportunity to try out few different teas for decent price. Instructions for steeping make more sense to me than other greens in the G&W pack (100C, 3-5m).

Tea seems a bit murky, but it has a longer steeped Bai MuDan hue to it. Aroma is more appealing, actually even surprising since I didn’t expect much from this tea bag.
With first sip you get that robust tobacco taste that lingers a bit and transforms to floral notes with exhaling through nostrils. After few sips there is a short sweet sensation in throat ended with that particular grapefruit peel note on the palate that rests for some time, along with moderate mouth dryness.
All in all, this is quite good cuppa for a tea bag, but I’m not sure if I’ll be restocking it, but hey, you never know… I still have four tea bags to go.

Meh

Nope, still not my cup of tea.

“meh” seems like the appropriate word here.

Well, that’s the last one of my tea bags of Pomegranate Delight. I wasn’t that impressed when I first tasted it, but somehow this tea grew on me. I like the fact that it’s mild, so I can drink it even late at night when I’m tired and feeling cold.

Well, I tried steeping it longer and it actually tastes better. It’s still a bit too mild, but it seems to be growing on me. Who new!

Well, this was a bit… disappointing. From the colour and the smell I was expecting something different – a stronger pomegranate flavour maybe, not as “metallic” as it turned out to be.
Me thinks a little honey might be in order to finish the pot.

Not bad for leaving it overnight by accident. I decanted it into a glass over ice, and it was quite tasty.

Paper writing

Backlogged from this weekend.

all right than, time to try this one with orange just as i promised myself i would.
well, i have to say, it really brings the punch out :D not the way i thought it would, but it’s rather a good surprise. i would definitely recommend Punschfix with orange on a cold winter afternoon. it can take you away.

some punsch flavour with cinnamon (which i missed though, it should be stronger in my opinion), to savour with orange if possible. kinda sad i didn’t find any so i had to stick with honey and nothing else. was really good still. note to self: i shell try it with orange once

somewhat better than last time, with powder this time. unfortunatelly i forgot to take the leaf out after a couple of minutes, so i happened to steep it for a good 10 minutes. obviously too much. this just doesn’t seem to serve me well :D

first cup today. good choice for morning tea as far as i’m concerned, with sugar and cream, which doesn’t seem to go well with it, hence the low points. next time without the cream i guess. it still is a good mix of black teas. just keep it warm please

with ridiculous amount of honey and some lemon, all winter style, hm….

one cup full of fruits, maybe a little herb too; perfect for automn afternoon.
