Strong malty aroma, slight bergamot notes.
Rich, full, mellow taste, with no bitterness or astringency. The bergamot notes are very subdued.
I wouldn’t call this tea Earl Grey, or even Earl Grey Flavoured, but it’s relatively passable for Lipton.

Flavors: Bergamot, Malt

A lot of strawberries in aroma, seem rather natural, like a fruit pie. There also fresh, strawy notes of green tea.
And it really tastes like strawberry cupcake, The base green tea is very subtle and mellow, with no bitterness. I usually consider it a flaw, especially evident in big company etas, but here it fits quite well.
Not bad, not bad at all.

Strong, sweet aroma of blueberry cake with cinnamon. A bit artificial, but indulging indeed.
Malty base tea, slight blueberry notes, not too strong cinnamon note. Nothing spectacular, but quite passable and drinkable.

Very strong aroma, both refreshing and warming, blends perfectly both ingredients.
Distinct liquorice sweetness is the first impression. Peppermint is usually quite assertive, but here it lurks in the background, not having the chance to dominate.
Good warming brew, but only for avid liquorice fans.

drank Ginger Lemon by Yogi Tea

Very strong combined aroma of ginger and lemon peel oils, with subtler notes of pepper and liquorice.
Slight liquorice sweetnes in taste, spicy notes from ginger and pepper, very slight lemon. Peppermint is fortunately barely noticeable.
All in all it’s nice and warming, but not lemony enough for its name.

Great balance in aroma, with aniseed, fennel and liquorice subtle permeate each other, a a bit of dried apple lies in the background.
The taste is distinctly sweet both liquorice and aniseed, bu fennel is also strong. Too bad the dried apples are barely noticeable.

Nice warming infusion.

Nice, balanced mixture of bergamot, vanilla, cloves, citrus zest and an impression of slight smokiness in aroma.
The taste is also smoky and quite woody, dry, with all the spices and adjuncts in the background.
Good, solid tea not overdone with adjuncts.

Bio

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.
