Strong, balanced rooibos/vanilla aroma.
The taste is light, dry, definitely rooibos-y, with only subtle hints of vanilla. Too subtle for me in this case.

Beautifully rich red colour.
Very subtle aroma, only fruity, with no tea notes.
Tea makes almost the whole content, and yet it’s barely noticeable in taste! There are a lot of really good black currant notes, but that’s not enough for a tea/fruit blend.

Flavors: Fruity

Smells wonderfully, like a high quality lemon custard.
The foreground taste is solid base black tea, very malty. Lemon notes are in the back, rather subdued, they just compliment the tea itself.
When it gets colder, the lemon notes remain in the background. There is no advertised creaminess nor freshness.
The tea is not bad, but is different than I expected.

Strong, sweetish smell of mango.
The taste is at first a bit disappointing. The tea seems watery, both the base sencha and mango are barely discernible. But when it gets colder, it becomes much more intense, fruity and refreshing. Probably a great choice for cold brew.

Fig opuntia really fits the base green tea. No, it actually enhances it, because the tea itself is rather poor and bland.

Bio

I drink tea almost all the time.

However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.

1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…

2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.

I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
