I know I’m a harsh rater, but honestly this is a good example of why I didn’t think I liked green tea for a long time, until I finally found a couple that I enjoyed. This would not make me drink more green tea.

Chai/ Assam is not my favorite type/blend of tea, but cinnamon black teas are, so I wasn’t sure how I would think this tasted. I have to say I wasn’t encouraged by the aroma as it was brewing, which I didn’t love, but I was quite pleased by the taste actually. This probably won’t challenge for my favorite cinnamon tea, but it was enjoyable and I will enjoy the rest of the packet that I have.

Very enjoyable. Full flavor. A bit creamy, in the best way. Good texture on the mouth.

I very much enjoy this. A bit thin for my typical tastes, especially during the workday when I prefer a stronger flavor. But tonight it’s hitting all the right notes. Lightly peachy, not a lot of green flavor, but it’s there in the background.

Disappointing. I generally enjoy Dilmah, but found this to lack flavor and be a bit musty. That said, it wasn’t off-putting, and I finished the cup, which is more than I can say for some other less flavorful teas. So, meh is about my best descriptor.

I got this as a sample to try and… it’s just not my thing. A light, herby green tea by taste. The brewing instructions speak to the magic – a change in color – but…. I just prefer my tea to taste stronger.

A fairly straightforward and simple breakfast tea – which is fine with me: it does its job early in the morning to wake me up and ease me into the day.

A perfect choice today while I played my board game: Ceylon (about the beginning of the tea plantations there).
