This is an interesting blend, intended to be drank in the mornings — so I have prepared it in the evening. I was freezing cold all aftenoon and evening, so I wanted something to warm me up.

Myrtle + ginger is making a quite clashing flavour profile, a little zingy sap. Myrtle definitely makes the sap notes. At least in my experience here.
Peppermint makes on the other hand the refreshing note. Black tea to have some caffeine… but it didn’t helped me much, I am still tired and it’s not present in the taste; and last ingredient, licorice root, makes whole liquor a bit thick and sweet — sadly, it is a bit too much of it.

But for warming up, it did its work.

205 °F / 96 °C 5 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

I have tried this today in the office and it seems it needs shorter steeping time than intended 5 minutes. I did about 3 today and it was much better — the herbal notes popped out. Refreshing and warming up tea, indeed.

drank Rooibos Madam Grey by Leros
1981 tasting notes

Right after I finished my Ceylon tea, my father (who went retired today!) come and said he wants a coffee. Well, and he don’t want to drink it alone, so I have picked another tea, this time something caffeine-free as that tea was very caffeine strong.

I apparently picked wrong tea. Rooibos was well present, but “madam Grey” flavour — that citrusy aroma and taste was incredlibly strong, reminding me rather dish soap, noticed only lemon notes. It was indeed very strong, making aroma and taste quite unbearable. Well in ingredients is listed: rooibos 90 %, aroma. So 10 % of that tea bag (2 g) is full of aroma/flavours, or I don’t know what?

It was way too strong! That’s what I disliked on this tea.

Flavors: Citrus Zest, Lemon

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 5 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

Congrats to your father! I hope he has a wonderfully happy retirement!

I was permanently scarred by a rooibos Earl Grey. I hope your father finds great pleasure in retirement!

Haha, thank you teafriends! He said to me it is so strange to wake up and in mind “I don’t have to do anything, and I will get money.” Haha.

derk: yep, decent rooibos earl grey will be pretty hard to find I guess. This one was just bad. Too citrusy. But rooibos base wasn’t bad!

drank Zažívání by Leros
1981 tasting notes

Yesterday I ate too much kebab apparently and today was my stomach upset.
So I took another tea bag – I should return to loose leaf at home.

Zažívání means digesting. Steeped for 10 minutes, as it is recommended, boiling water.

Colour is medicinal green. Like the box I guess.
Aroma – herbs, peppermint and chamomile.
Taste – herbal, dominant peppermint with chamomile sweetness. Bit spicy due to ginger. Nice and easy drinking tea, pure herbals, no extra ingredients. It was not really tasty – but it was not so bad as I expected.

My stomach feels better now.

Flavors: Ginger, Herbs, Peppermint

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more 10 OZ / 300 ML
