276 Tasting Notes
A lot of ginger in aroma, slight lemon notes.
Very gingery in taste, very spicy, with only subtle lemon notes and o tiny bit of licorice.
Very warming, quite soothing. Not bad.
Flavors: Ginger, Grass, Lemon, Lemon Zest
Preparation
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
Preparation
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
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.
Flavors: banana, Earth, Mango, Passion Fruits, Pineapple
Preparation
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
Preparation
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
Preparation
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
Preparation
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
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
