“I got this as a christmas present. It’s ok I guess. Average flavored black tea, nothing exciting. It seems to get bitter more easily than most blask teas. Very pretty orangeish brown color.” Read full tasting note
India-Ceylon tea spiced with blueberry and mint oils with added vanilla, cornflower and marigold.
Company description not available.
I bought this tea mostly because I thought the package looked cool. It smells mostly fruity and slightly malty, and the leaf is pretty with the cornflower and marigold bits. The taste isn’t interesting, and though it leaves a minty feeling on the tongue, there’s no strong mint flavor. I can’t taste the vanilla either, but there is a hint of blueberry at the back of the tongue. It’s not a horrible tea, but much more boring than I thought it would be.
There’s a new Polish/Ukrainian deli sort of place that’s opened up by my house, and they carry a really odd yet large selection of tea. I grabbed a few the last time I was there, and two more yesterday. This is the first that I tried out of that batch.
This is a weird ass tea. I love the first few seconds of the sip – rich berry tea – and then the mint kicks in, and it’s repulsive. Like mint gone bad? It’s giving me an allergic reaction whatever it is, so I’m not drinking anymore (and… the berries are blackberries, not strawberries, I checked, so this should be fine).
EDIT: Blueberry, not blackberry, because I’m silly.
Ooh… Sounds like a not so great tea experience.
On another note … Hubby and I hosted a foreign exchange student from Ukrane for a school year before our son was born. It was a cultural learning experience for all of us. I imagine that deli you speak of would be interesting to try… Might just be careful about the teas from here on out.
