276 Tasting Notes
A lot of cinnamon in aroma, then licorice, ginger and orange peel. Apple on a low level, only far in the background.
The taste is mainly cinnamon/apple, with the rest in the background. Nice and warming.
Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Ginger, Licorice, Orange Zest
Preparation
It’s quite outrageous to call the product “Matcha Green” if it contains 98% of mixed green teas and only 2% of matcha powder.
After steeping it smells of decent green tea with nice floral and grass accents, but the overall aroma is not strong.
And so is the taste. Not bad, actually, but way too watery. And if I hadn’t known there’s matcha in here, I wouldn’t have guessed.
In short, it’s a passable green tea, falsely claiming to be something more. That’s why my rating gets a negative modifier.
Flavors: Floral, Grass
Preparation
Smells mainly with ginger, but also with a lot of licorice and some lemon and honey.
Unfortunately the taste is dissappointing. Almost only ginger and licorice, only subtle traces of lemon and honey, and water, water, water.
Flavors: Citrus, Ginger, Honey, Lemon, Licorice
Preparation
Strong root aroma.
The taste is very earthy, a lot of it comes from turmeric, ginger and galangal, but licorice also plays a huge part. Nice invigorating blend, but it has too little spiciness.
Flavors: Ginger, Licorice
Preparation
The aroma is disappointingly weak, with only traces of lemon and bergamot.
Watery taste, but with refreshing lemon notes and a bit of bergamot in the background.
Drinkable, but noting special.
Flavors: Bergamot, Lemon
Preparation
Fruity, sweetish aroma.
Taste dominated by lychee, with peach more in the background, but the fruity notes are balanced with the base black malty tea.
Soothing, warming, not bad.
Flavors: Fruity, Lychee, Malt, Peach
Preparation
Strong aroma of cinnamon, cardamom, orange peels and cloves.
Decent green base tea in taste, with spices in the background.
Not bad. I think it would be a good idea to brew it stronger, two bags per cup, and with milk, like a chai tea should be done.
Flavors: Cardamon, Cinnamon, Cloves, Orange Zest, Spices
