drank Choco Mint by Yogi Tea
276 tasting notes

Very strong cocoa aroma, subtle mint notes, a lot of spices in the background. Energetic bouquet.
The taste is quite mellow, rather watery, with a slight ginger spicyness being the most discernible aspect. The result is simply boring, not minty enough to contrast the cocoa background.

Flavors: Cardamon, Chocolate, Cinnamon, Clove, Cocoa, Ginger, Spearmint

drank Rich Earl Grey by Lipton
276 tasting notes

Surprisingly rich and fresh smell after opening the box. After brewing the aroma is still strong, with nice notes of bergamot, solid citrus and earthy base tea in the background.
It tastes more like one could expect from Lipton. Bergamot notes are present, as well as slight citrusy ones, but the base tea is shallow, bland, without character.

Generally drinkable, but it smells much better that tastes.

Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Earth

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 2 g 8 OZ / 250 ML

drank Tropical Fruit by Pickwick
276 tasting notes

Passion fruit, mango and pineapple are evident in aroma. Banana – very subtle, I probably wouldn’t sense it if not the ingredient list. Slight earthy notes from the base tea in the background.
Passion fruit dominates the taste, with banana a little behind and other fruits and base tea notes in the back.
All in all it’s not bad, really fruity.

drank Lemon by Pickwick

Good balance between malty character of the base tea and fresh notes of lemon peels in aroma.
In taste the peel notes are dominant, the base tea is in the background.
Nice, refreshing, with strong essential oils.

Flavors: Lemon, Lemon Zest, Malt

Very strong and very fruity aroma, with evident notes of blackberry, raspberry and strawberry.
The taste is not that rich. There are fruity notes, of course, no sweetness at all, very subtle sourness and some maltiness in background, but the overall impression is very far from overwhelming.

Flavors: Blackberry, Malt, Raspberry, Strawberry

drank Indian Assam by Pickwick

Nice deep colour.
Strong malty flavour.
The taste is quite characterful for a Pickwick, rich but at the same rounded, with only slight astringency.
Nothing special, but for a Pickwick it’s quite extraordinary. :)

Flavors: Malt, Round

drank Earl Grey by Pickwick
276 tasting notes

Boring, bland aroma with bergamot on the sensory threshold.
Generic corporate black tea as the base, with subtle malty notes and again, barely discernible traces of bergamot.

All in all it’s a just a corporate vision of Earl Grey.

Flavors: Malt

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 2 g 7 OZ / 200 ML

drank Russian Earl Grey by Lipton
276 tasting notes

Bergamot and citrus aromas of equal strength, quite refreshing, slight malty character.
Bergamot is very subtle, the citrusy notes are more eminent. Slight astringency.

All in all it’s just a typical corporate product – base black tea of dubious quality, not enough aromas, not enough taste.

Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Earth, Lemon

Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 2 g 8 OZ / 250 ML

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.
