Elephant

Another cuppa from huge bags.
This one looks caffeine free, although there is nothing on the foil bag, which I consider quite pretty. Look here: https://colnect.com/cs/teabags/teabag/26308

It seems it is indeed fruit tea and it seems without hibiscus and rose hips, as it don’t changed colour much. Certainly it is not deep red, it is just a light and pink tea.

Aromas: generic red fruits, strawberry and cherry most present. Then some raspberries.
Taste: Similar to aroma; red fruits with most present strawberries and cherries, bit tart and bit of creamy.

Conclusion? For that aged bag as it is — close to perfect. Maybe the age made the flavour bit dull and that’s why it isn’t “screaming” I AM RED FRUITS TEA, and it is overall very enjoable.

Note: Elephant is actually brand Lipton in France. I don’t know why they had to rebrand it, or if it is just some teas…

Received few tea bags from my friend. She said drink it, or toss it out.

So, I am trying to drink. Elephant, actually it is a Lipton. But for French market it is “Elephant”. Dunno why. I guess it is better for me as a tea bag collector.

I tried to check some sources of ingredients, so I updated the factsheet of it. But actually I have no idea what is in.

Chamomile for sure, lavender too. But rest smells after cardboard. As derk said: “chamomile is chamomile, unless it is Lipton, then it is cardboard.”

Yep, it does not smell very nice. Rather stinks. Blah.
In taste it is little bit better. I notice bit of verbena + chamomile. Then little bit of lavender. Not long-lasting taste.

Hmm. At least it is worst tea today.

A very well-balanced apple cinnamon tea!

I came across this tea by accident. My goodness, it’s good! But the bags have to be wrapped in plastic because the contents are so fine that they work their way through the bag lining after a while.
