116 Tasting Notes
Excellent Dessert Tea; smells like hot cocoa with a swirl of banana creme.
I believe this is a limited edition tea so if you can find it, definitely give it a try.
It is balanced very well and is great after a meal, by itself or with dessert.
Preparation
I was expecting a strongly flavored tea, however this is not the case. I can not actually taste the cherry petals at all. I generally don’t drink Darjeeling because of its astringency, however I can tell this is a good Darjeeling tea. I would recommend this for Darjeeling drinkers. (My score reflects the fact that I don’t really like Darjeeling too much)
Preparation
Strong coconut aroma; I was thinking of pina coladas, cool breeze on the beach at sunset, and coconut shrimp.
The packaging indicates a blend of 3 types of semi-fermented tea / fermented tea. The coconut and very light pineapple are the prominent flavors while the tea leaves take a backseat; it does taste like a greenish tea in the background though – will have to sample more. Overall a nice tea.
Preparation
Oddly enough this might be my favorite Earl Grey I’ve had.
The Oolong leaves have a lighter taste than the normal, black leaf Earl Grey. This has a bit more of a fruity tartness to it – an excellent tea for summer. Highly recommend.
Preparation
Smooth, slightly malty, and light on the bergamot. This reminds me more of a light breakfast tea than an earl grey but it is a good tea. The tea leaves they use for this blend are excellent – very low harshness / bitterness. I tend to like flavored teas more, which is reflected in the score – this is probably one of the best plain-flavored teas I’ve tasted (even though this actually is a flavored tea)
