Camomile and Maple Sensation

There are some teas that I can’t tell if I like them or not,which means if I keep drinking those teas,I will just get nothing in mind.And it happens this time as well.I tried steeping it in hot water——not have a damn clue what I was drinking,some chamomile notes which is not so fresh or green,with some very detectable artificial and dusty 、medicine notes.
Yesterday night as I found there is another teabag of it left ,I figured if I could make it better with cold water.Wow,the tea improved so much once brewed cold!I was even picturing golden caramel cubes in my mind!The liquid has a mouthful and almost solid feeling in my mouth.Maple-y and a little smoky ,much more drinkable though there still remained some paper-and-dust-like notes.Chamomile is dominant and a little sour ,but not odd at all. I have to admit that chamomile covers a amazingly wide range as to its blends’ texture.

Took these to work today to finish off. I’m not a fan. The dry leaf smells strongly of maple syrup, but with a slight edge to it that makes me think it’s artificial flavouring rather than the real thing. I might be wrong, but that’s what it smells like to me. I can also smell chamomile, a distinctive, sweet, apple-like scent that’s actually quite pleasant.

Upon first tasting this, I was pretty repulsed. It’s very sweet and rather cloying. The maple flavour comes out most clearly, and it’s hard to taste the chamomile at all. As it cools, though, this becomes infinetly more pleasant. Some of the initial sweetness fades, and the apple-like flavours of the chamomile start to come through. I think I might actually take these back home, and have them iced in the summer. It’s definetly better cool, and I’m no longer pulling my “ugh, I don’t like this face”.

This is no better and no worse than I expected from supermarket tea. The combination of flavours should have been a good one, but it falls a little short of my idealisation in its current form. I can just imagine what this might be like if it were made with whole chamomile flowers and generous amounts of maple syrup. Unfortunaely, this is one dream that ended in dust, quite literally.

As soon as the hot water hit the tea bag, the smell of maple took over my kitchen. However, as it continued to steep the camomile became stronger. I was a little hesitant when I started drinking as camomile is not my favourite but luckily the maple and vanilla are what stand out. All the flavors combine to make a very sweet cup and though it is tasty at first, it does quickly start bordering on cloying as the tastes build up on your tongue. I would be interested to try this iced as it may tone down the sweetness which would really help this shine. Thank you MissB and Sil for the share!

HA! i found it lol another from MissB and this one is totally smells like maple and chamomile…but then you take a sip and it’s mostly just sweet chamomile, with no trace of maple anywhere. It wasn’t bad, but i had higher hopes for this one than the resulting brew. poop :(

Really nice tea where the flavours come through well, I thought this would be too sweet but its just about right, the only problem is that after drinking this I want to go and eat waffles and ice cream with maple syrup!
