Nice combination of subtle orange and grassy/straw notes of green tea, with delicate honey flavour in the background. Warming and refreshing.
In taste the base green tea (not bad for a tea bag) is dominant. The gingery spicyness is almost nonexistant, orange notes are subtle.
Not bad, but I expected more.

Upon opening the box the bergamot aroma is very fresh and strong. Unfortunately, it doesn’t transfer to the brewed tea. There, the bergamot is barely noticeable, you can smell only bland base tea with slight generic flower notes.

The taste is very bland, very watery, with almost no Earl Grey character whatsoever.

Yes, Netto teas sold under the “House of Tea” brand are nothing special, but they are generally quite drinkable. Their “Earl Grey” is an exception… The good news is, it cost me only 3 Danish kroner (promotional price) ;)

Before brewing the tea bag smells really good, really smoky, like good-quality loose-leaf Lapsang teas.

When brewed, the smokiness is still quite strong but one can sense overlying base tea, quite bland in fact.

In taste the smoky notes are rather unpleasant, they feel like chewing a roasted branch, and the base tea seems very watery.

Very disappointing. No comparison to high quality loose-leaf Lapsang teas.

The aroma is quite promising – balanced combination of plum, bergamot and star anise. Almost no tea, though…

And the taste is extremely watery. The plum is dominant, the bergamot is subtle, the anise is surprisingly in the background. Moreover, quite important component is missing – tea itself!

Fot the plum-flavoured water it’s quite nice. For tea – extremely dissapointing.

Very ordinary green tea with no positive nor negative impressions.

Dark, rich colour.
The smell is quite strong, clear pu-erh notes with solid earthiness.
The taste is surprisingly good given that the tea is of a cheap variety and packaged in tea-bags. Just what you can expct from an average pu-erh.

Strong earthy aroma. And besides it? I don’t know whether I smell a very, very subtle jasmine note, or am I just imagining it, knowing that it allegedly should be present…
The taste is quite bland, very mellow, rather dusty, again with only subtle or none jasmine.

After drinking this so called tea for a while I can state, that the jasmine is present after all, but it’s barely noticeable. Creating such crap is an achievement in itself even for Pickwick.

Very strong aroma with a lot of mango, slight lemon and subtle white tea notes in the background.
Slightly sweet, very fruity taste, with dominance of mango and only subtle lemon. Very slight white tea bitterness in the aftertaste.
Refreshing and nice. Especially good as a cold brew on a hot sunny day.

Strong, sweet flavour that really reminds of blueberry muffins, seems pretty natural.
Slightly sweet in taste, with a lot of fruity and some biscuity notes, subtle earthy aromas from base tea in the background.

All in all it’s pretty good, but nothing extraordinary.

Smells like roasted banana sprinkled with powdered cocoa. rather artificial but quite warming.
Tastes definitely more like pear and the cocoa fortunately turned more into chocolate. Some earthy and malty notes from the base tea are also present.

All in all it’s not a bad one. Too artificial but soothing and warming.
