624 Tasting Notes
Made this iced. Pretty good. Tastes very similar to the way it tastes hot. I used 4 tea bags in a big glass jug and the ratio seemed to be perfect. It’s been so hot lately that I thought I’d start making iced tea instead of drinking it hot. I enjoyed this one iced. I appreciate that this tea never seems to turn bitter and the mango gives it a nice little kick.
I was dog sitting for a friend all weekend and this tea was what she had in her cabinet so I thought, why not? Tetley isn’t a favourite brand of mine but it will do in a pinch. I sat down to watch Netflix with a mug full of this tea and the first thing I noticed was the aroma and how it really did smell like green tea mixed with earl grey. Quite interesting. The taste was about the same as the aroma. I could distinctively taste the green tea and I could distinctively taste the earl grey tea. One nice thing was that one flavour did not overpower the other. That being said, I didn’t find this tea all that exciting. I prefer my green tea by itself and my earl grey tea by itself. With the two flavours mixed, it’s a little odd but not entirely awful, just not for me. I was thinking that with a little cream and sugar, it might be better.
Flavors: Bergamot, Green
I was away at my friends place this weekend and this tea was one of the selections offered to me. I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did. It’s a full bodied fruit tea with a strong berry flavour. It’s not bitter or acidic like some fruit teas tend to be. This one is a nice balance of being tart and sweet and the berry flavour is deep, just like the colour of the tea itself when steeped. I liked it so much that my friends gave me the rest of it to bring home. I happen to be drinking it right now as I sit here and type. An enjoyable tea to relax with during the evening.
Flavors: Berries, Sweet, Tart
