Hey everyone!
I’m relatively new to tea and have yet to taste very many decafs but I still liked this one reasonably well.
When you first open the packet, what hits you immediately is the heavy scent of bergamot and you just know the flavour is really going to stand out. You can’t really smell tea too much though, but since it’s a decaf, that might be somewhat standard?
When brewed, the bergamot is most definetely rich and high-quality like the description says. But the tea taste isn’t very present at all. It does feel a little thin in the mouth, like bergamot-flavoured water.
So I add milk and for once, some sugar as well and it basically becomes a sweet bergamot milk, which for me isn’t so bad as it still becomes a comforting drink I can enjoy at night.
If anyone has suggestions for great decafs available in Australia, or which ship to Aus at a non-exorbitant price, I would be ever so happy to hear your suggestions.
Thanks for reading!

Bio

Australian tea drinker from Sydney.

I enjoy all kinds of tea except rooibos. Black and roasted oolongs are my true lovers while green tea makes me a little dizzy. Pu-erh I have yet to explore, despite being gifted several cakes. On the look-out for a great herbal tea and also getting the matcha madness.

Have yet to add everything to my Steepster cupboard, but would be interested in an Australian tea swap in the future!

The variety here is not as extensive as other places due to import regulations and the cost of shipping but I own and like stuff from Harney & Sons, Lupicia, T2, Teavivre, Butiki, Mariage Freres, Verdant, Yunnan Sourcing and Whispering Pines Tea Company.
