Received today from my friend from Italy. It is decaf, which is a plus when brewing at 7 pm. I really don´t have any expecations, as it looks like cheap “something like” tea. Apparently, box of 20 tea bags costs 2.89 € which is bit higher than I expected.
If I undestood ingredients right, it contains: Decaf black tea (caffeine <0.1%), natural aroma 8 % and peach 1 %.
3-5 minutes steeping, I guess I made 4 minute brew.
Colour is bronze, quite clear which is quite nice for “just a tea bag”. Aroma is strong peach, but doesn´t really smell artificial! Maybe little bit malt is there.
It cools down and aromas are dying. Not so fruity anymore, actually it smell like…actually nothing. It is some generic smell.
The taste is quite weak, bit malty, but again bit generic. Nothing really distinctive, somehow empty. I guess it is because it is decaf. The peach taste is almost non-existent. I expected explosion of summer notes, but there are none of them. It´s cheap, generic, black tea, without any freshness, without flavours.
It´s just nice, as it is without caffeine, thus good for evening. But I won´t drink it again.
strange how initially the aroma is strong with peach initially and then disappears leaving no aroma or taste of peach.
