Mango, flowers, leaves, generally very warming and pleasant aroma.
Slightly sweetish taste, with no sourness but with complex fruity and flowery character. Only a trace of green tea in the back, but it’s not a surprise, since it is only b5% of the whole. ANd it’s too bad, because it would gibe this blend balance and even more complexity.
Not bad, but could have been better.

Perfumey and sweet in aroma, that’s for sure. With lots of artificial strawberry and cream flavour. Taste seems better, because it’s only slightly sweet and the flavouring seems to be a bit lost here, fortunately, so the base bland black tea is the main impression. Generally not recommend.

drank Chá Preto by Tetley

Really bland, absolutely watery, almost devoid of any taste. It’s not even bad, it’s just completely featureless.

I remember drinking black tea from Tetley during my Poland trip and well, this seems a wee better :D

Dominated by sweetish, artificial vanilla, then slight blueberry note and a bit of malty base tea in the back. Drinkable but rather meh. 50/100

drank Lemon Tea by Dilmah

I like the base black tea character in here. Only marginally astringent, slightly bitter, really characterful for a bagged tea, with subdued but discernible lemon note. 70/100

drank Ginger & Honey by Dilmah

This tea is completely dominated by spicy ginger character. And I wouldn’t mind it, except that it is backed by only a bit of the malty, base black tea note and there is almost no honey present. Very one-dimensional tea.

I drink tea almost all the time.

However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.

1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…

2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.

I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
