Strong apple and slightly citrusy aroma, cinnamon more in the back.
Distinct but fitting malic acidity, only a touch of stevia sweetness, cinammon and licorice appearing after a while.
Casual but nicely warming.
Flavors: Acidic, Apple, Cinnamon, Citrus, Licorice
Preparation
Very low aroma. A bit of honey, a bit of straw, slight flowery note, but that’s just it.
The same with taste. Very weak, watery. I know that green rooibos isn’t as intense as the red one but c’mon, there’s not much here even for a cheap variety.
Flavors: Honey, Straw
Preparation
I can’t find this tea anywhere except my mother’s cupboard, we took it home from holiday and it frustrates me to no end because I love it. It’s got a rich fruity flavour but somehow undertones of something spicy, cinnamon maybe.
I dug deep and found nothing, but that slivkovy means plum in Slovac. Ebay had a couple of Lord Nelson teas but nit that one. I hope you find it.
This tea I bought today (but won’t count in the spending list, as it isn’t from my money); hoping it will be a kind of relaxing blend (I am running a bit short with my Relax from B&B).
It was a cheap buy, again. And again from Lidl store, so no big expectations.
It’s earthy. And quite hoppy, though nonewhere close to beer. Cardamom is quite present and it’s having sweet aftertaste due to licorice I guess. But that’s not bad, as it mellows the earthy notes. It’s somehow generically herbal as well, the mint and rooibos isn’t prominent at all in taste though. Maybe it’s a good thing.
If it relaxes me, it does a good job. For the price, it’s nice tisane for sure.
Flavors: Cardamom, Earth, Herbs, Hops
Preparation
I bought this tea because family cupboard was running out of orange tea. And I haven’t seen Teekanne Fresh Orange in the shop (Lidl) today, so I brought this one.
I am quite curious, because my father and brother loves just that Teekanne one; so hopefully this won’t dissapoint too much.
Dry pyramid sachet is quite weird combination of orange and peach, while the latter seemed more promindent to me.
But brewed and after 5 minutes, I do notice the oranges. Juicy oranges. And they are in taste as well, though I think I notice the peach as well. It is maybe kind of artificial too, or like some vitamins. Not bad though. Feels bit watery, maybe I will try longer steep next time.
Flavors: Artificial, Orange, Peach
Preparation
My grandmother gave me a few bags of this one last time I visited her and told me she loves it so I tried it. I couldn’t really taste the green tea, I suppose it serves more as a base for the flavours, but I didn’t mind because the orange-ginger combination works well together. It’s a really warm flavour and as an after-dinner treat it’s pretty nice. I don’t think I’ll be buying it again since the same brand also sells unflavoured green tea, but it’s a nice tea to end the day after a heavy dinner.
Flavors: Ginger, Orange
Preparation
This Earl Grey is my current morning drink and I’m very happy with it. It does the job really well: it’s a nice, well-rounded tea and it’s both refreshing and comforting. I expect it to make me ready for the day and that’s what it does. It’s also pretty cheap (and thus affordable in big quantities when you want to make sure you’re not going to run out of tea) and they sell it at my local supermarket.
Bonus: if you steep it for long enough it turns into an acceptable alternative to English Breakfast. And since it’s cheap you won’t feel bad about wasting a bag of Earl Grey.
Flavors: Astringent, Citrus, Salty
Preparation
Prepared this one again and… well okay I guess?
Green tea is, as I said in previous tasting note, very stale, boring and hay like. Melissa made it it earthy and lemon peel bit refreshing.
Overall very average though.
Flavors: Earth, Hay, Lemon Zest
Preparation
As “Green tea Melissa and Lemon” but ingredients are same.
Bought a box of 20 pyramid sachets as we are low in greens, and this sounded actually pretty good.
It’s drinkable. Tea is not fresh at all, it’s very grass seed like and hay/straw like. Luckily, Melissa is making the tea somehow bit earthy and more green tea like. Lemon zest is nicely refreshing. So far no rating, as I have used very hot water(just boiling) as I was too lazy to wait (and I have 19 tea bags left)
Flavors: Earth, Hay, Lemon Zest, Straw
Preparation
Some sachet from family cupboard. Apparently from Lidl store, and apparently good ingredients. Just tea and mint. Nothing more! Great job guys.
I woke up with headache, my brain is still processing yesterday incident on railway I was, unfortunately, involved in. My train did not stop at stop signal and endangered another train which my train should let pass. Who knows what was the reason, there was a major thunderstorm, maybe the engineer checked wrong signal, maybe it did not brake correctly because of the water on rails, but luckily, there was no crash. The second train (the endagered) was way lighter so it brakes much better. If we were 10-20 metres further, second train did not stop, I would be injured at least. Oww.
The tea…
I used too hot water but it does not change it much. It is really minty, refreshing, and tea base is present too. It is not top-notch green tea, it is rather like some hay only, but that is okay.
Good considering the price. And I really enjoy the ingredients. Only mint and tea. Why to add something else?
Flavors: Hay, Mint
Preparation
Nice aroma of lemon peel, melissa and grass-straw notes from the green tea.
A lot of lemon peel in the taste, solid portion of melissa and strong green tea body.
Pretty good for a cheap market-brand tea.
Flavors: Grass, Herbs, Lemon Zest, Straw
Preparation
Oh, already 8 am? I woke up hour and half earlier. Meh.
Slow start of the day. And simple tea. Just a tea bag of green tea. At least it is with lemon.
+- 90°C water (I know, I know), 3 and half minute steep. Cloudy, yellow-green liquor.
In aroma it is really lemony. Bit like lemon juice. And on taste? It is similar. And bit of bitter aftertaste. I oversteeped it? I used too hot water?
In conclusion – for the price fair tea. There is bit of grassy notes, but – not so much. Much more lemon tastes, lemon peel taste too. Maybe it is actually kind of nice surprise it was not so bad.
Song pairing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=353_cCFOi00
Unfortunately in Czech; it is song for czech para-hockey players. I am afraid that nonewhere will be translation. But I love it!
Flavors: Grass, Lemon, Lemon Zest
Preparation
That was a really great song! don’t have to know the lyrics to appreciate great music. neat video too. i love watching the para hockey. it’s my favorite of the para sports. those guys are nuts!! :)
I am surprised to see my tasting note for this tea. Maybe the Italian text misled me and I just thought it’s something different.
That note is from 22nd January 2019. Now, it says “6 years ago”. Whoa.
Anyway, I have to agree with my past self. Unnoticeable green tea, fresh orange and little warmth… probably the ginger.
Perfectly suits “hot drink, called tea”. No flaws, but a bit boring.
Will I get more than 2 likes today? :)
Prepared in thermos as I was in hurry and I had to leave. So bit unusal review.
Basic green tea, which is almost unnoticable, followed by fresh orange flavour and and little bit of spicy – probably ginger.
For the price it certainly makes the job, warms inside – as there is ginger, but dominant orange flavours which made this tea nice and mellow. Nothing extra, but better than expected.
Flavors: Ginger, Orange
Poor quality base green tea, strong astringency, very low lemongrass and lemon peel aroma (and adding lemon peel to “enhance” the sparsely used lemongrass is pathetic). Never again.
Flavors: Astringent
