2715 Tasting Notes
The flavors here are quite strong! I taste a grape flavoring and a floral flavor. It was served hot, but I took some home and refrigerated it. When it was cold, the floral flavor was definitely more dominant. Since that’s not something I love, this tea ultimately ended up not being for me, but I did enjoy trying it!
This tastes nutty and chocolatey. It’s really pleasant warm with milk and sugar. Combined with the black base, this ends up quite hearty! This is a blend they make in-house, and it’s one I wouldn’t mind having again!
We attended a Wizard of Oz themed afternoon tea in town, and it was so cute! This was their special blend of the month, so we had to try it! I’ve never had a soda themed tea served hot before, but it really worked here. I could distinctly taste the cola flavor as well as the cherry. The black tea was the perfect base for it. It was super tasty with sugar and milk! We considered buying some, but we have enough caffeinated teas already.
When it’s warm, I notice a decent amount of chamomile. When it’s cold, I taste a lot of floral flavor, plus some fruitiness. My partner noticed some honey notes. This was much better than I thought it would be, though not something I’d need a whole box of.
I love the rosemary in this chai! It adds so much extra intrigue. I resteep almost every tea, but usually only once. After the resteep, the leaves still smelled so strong I had to go for a third! I enjoyed this best warm with soy milk and sugar. For an herbal chai, this is quite satisfying, and I appreciate having a different combination of ingredients.
The black tea is a bit too mild. It’s not bad, I would just like it to be heartier. I made another cup of this and added sugar free peach syrup, and I enjoyed that!
We just bought this for AliasHali and plan to try it soon. I am surprised to hear it is weak. Maybe we will enjoy it with some tweaks! I expected it to builders’ brew!
If I had more, I’d definitely try brewing it longer and stronger!
Yorkshire Gold is formulated a little differently—been a while since I’ve had either, but I think the Gold version is a little brassier, if that’s the flavor profile you prefer in strong teas.
I’ve definitely had this tea somewhere else, so it was funny to be reunited with it during my UK visit. The scent and flavor are super strongly marzipan. It’s best cold with milk and sugar. There was a time when this tea would have been perfect for me, but these days it’s a little one-note for me, with the marzipan super overpowering anything else. My sister really enjoyed it though.
A great example of how modest expectations, when met, can result in a super review! Sometimes we just want a simple tea without fuss that we can rely on.
I like Tetley. Their black and green blend is one of my favorite office teas.
