drank Creme Earl Grey by Good Earth
385 tasting notes

Coconut and creme flavouring give a really interesting twist to an otherwise classic Earl Grey tea. They give it richness and depth, but are subtle and don’t conceal the basic bergamot and cornflower character. Tasty and drinkable.

Flavors: Bergamot, Coconut, Cream, Earl Grey, Flowers

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 2 g 10 OZ / 300 ML

What can I say here? It’s just a casual tea from a big company, nothi9ng spectacular, but not bas for “sipping while working”. A bit malty, with decent depth.

Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 2 g 10 OZ / 300 ML

drank Lychee by Dilmah

Lots of lychee that feels rather natural despite being just a flavouring (probably due to perfume -y specific of the fruit). Malty and slightly astringent base black tea, a touch of sweetness impression. Not bad.

Flavors: Astringent, Lychee, Malty

Casual Earl Grey tea with only a trace of bergamot. Not bad for a cheap tea in a hotel, but nothing much.

Complex fruit flavour with slight sourness and a bit of tartness. Great black currant undertones in the background and aftertaste. Not bad for a cheap hotel tea.

drank Vanilla by Dilmah
385 tasting notes

Very strong artificial vanilla aroma, reminding me of vanilla pudding. Only traces of black Ceylon tea underneath.
Taste is better, because you can actually sense the tea and vanilla flavour is less intrusive here. However, there’s not much taste at all and all it leaves is a faint malty aftertaste.
Drinkable, yes, but mediocre and artificiel.

Flavors: Artificial, Vanilla

Lots of ginger in aroma (which is spicy, citrusy, very warming), lots of turmeric in colour. Taste is quite distinct, spicy, but rather short (except for the lingering ginger spiciness). Only traces of honey flavouring in the back.
It’s not exactly bad, but too one-dimensional for me.

Flavors: Citrusy, Ginger, Spicy

Preparation

Bio

I drink tea almost all the time.

However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.

1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…

2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.

I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
