Formosa Bai Hao
This tea has a very honey-like aroma, but its color is much lighter than that of black tea. The taste is extremely delicate, a very sophisticsted tea!
-
Always Nuts
I was afraid this tea would be too tangy, due to the reviews and the presence of hibiscus. But this tea is actually very nutty and comforting, plus it has this amazing creme brulee flavor. Nice tea!
-
Peach Oolong
I added some plant milk to the tea, as it seemed quite robust. And I have to say it complements the tea very well! The tea has both oolong and peach taste, it's nicely balanced! I have to say this is one of Adagio's best teas.
-
St. Petersburg
I absolutely love this tea. You instantly get flooded with caramel taste, bergamot and fruits are there as well. This tea has so many nuances. It's great for when you want to sit down with it, but you can also sip it at work nicely. I already bought two more boxes.
-
Earl Grey
So this is a rather affordable blend, the in-house brand of Jumbo (supermarket). One tea bag makes about 600ml of tea (a small pot). The bergamot is strong, but not in an unpleasant way. The tea leaves a pleasant bergamot aftertaste. The astringency is nicely balanced with the flavor. This is a great tea for a cheap price.
-
Scorpio
Ok, I'm actually upset I didn't try this tea earlier. It's d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s. A rich taste of black tea, mango, vanilla and cream. I think I'm in love!
-
Pumpkin Potion
I feel like this is a much stronger version of Adagio's Pumpkin Spice! This is delicious with plant milk!
-
Ghoul Gulp
Oh wow, this is an amazing buttermint tea with a black tea base. It's delicious!
-
Bat Brew
This is a very gentle, light chai! Much better than the chocolate chai imo. It's slightly sweet and clove-heavy, as I like it.
-
Cat Scratch
With plant milk: You clearly taste the spices, but they're not too much - they rather feel quite comforting. The chocolate is there too, making this a warm fall tea.
-
Candy Apple Concoction
I just love the little sugar crystals! Anyway, I had the tea with some plant milk. The tea has an aroma of baked apple that's pretty strong. The tea has a delicate baked apple taste, it's not super strong but rather subtle. It's actually quite fruity though! And it gives me a hint of caramel/vanilla candy. This tea is easily drinkable and enjoyable.
-
Maple Creme Oolong
I added a splash of oat milk to my tea. It has quite the spicy aroma, more than I expected, but I also smell maple. The tea tastes sooo satisfying. I absolutely love the maple syrup taste. This would also make a great black tea.
-
Citrus Mate
The tea has a strong citrus scent. And it tastes the same. Surprisingly I have to say that it's quite enjoyable! I haven't liked mate in the past, but this one is nice. :)
-
Silver Needle
The tea's aroma is quite grassy. The taste is very delicate, as is usual for white teas. It's easily overpowered. I can't really say much about it, as I have such a hard time noting the taste.
-
Autumn Mist Green
Wow, this tea smells and tastes like maple syrup. It's sweet with something hearty to it. This is so good, it's like drinking pudding.
-
Teaster Marshmallow
The tea's aroma is very mild apricot and vanilla. The taste is light vanilla and a bit of apricot, too. It's a very delicate tea, but tasty. That was for 5min @212°F/100°C. I'll try 7min next time.
-
Pumpkin Spice
I added some oat milk. The aroma is heavy on clove and cinnamon. The tea is suuuper smooth and tasty! Heavy on cloves and cinnamon, too. It's just the kind of spiced tea I love - quite strong but not spicy, very comforting. Love it!
-
Jolly Roger
I had this tea with some oat milk. The aroma is banana with a hint of - salted caramel? The taste is quite forward on banana with something toning it down. This part I don't really like. I added half a teaspoon of honey, which turned it into a butterscotch tea with a hint of banana! What a transformation. I'm really not sure what I think about this tea, maybe I'll give an update later.
-
Candy Cane
I had this tea in tea bag form and added some oat milk. Its scent is mild and a bit minty. It has a pleasant mint taste and isn't overwhelming at all! Plus, there's still a very smooth black tea flavor to it that makes it a soft and easily drinkable tea. I personally enjoy it!
-
Chocolate Chai Pu Erh
I added some oat milk to my tea. It has a very light aroma of spices and a bit of chocolate and pu-erh. The taste is primarily spices, a very strong flavor. But it's not too spicy or anything. I taste a bit of the pu-erh, but really not much. And also not much chocolate. I would call this tea pu-erh chai, as the chocolate isn't really noticeable. But it's a very comforting chai. :)
-
Tiger Eye
I added some oat milk. The tea smells like chocolate and a bit of caramel. It's a rich chocolate tea with a hint of caramel - I would love the caramel to be stronger, but it's very tasty as it is. :)
-
Mango
I added some oat milk. The tea's scent is hm.. fruity, but it could also be peach. Hard to say if it's actually mango. But the taste is clearly sweet mango. It leaves a nice aftertaste. I like it but I think I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.
-
Hazelnut
I added some oat milk. The tea smells wonderfully of sweet hazelnut. Its taste is super super smooth and also sweetly hazelnut. Like someone else said, it's a bit like Nutella. What a delicious tea!
-
Matcha Peach
I had this one cold, from one of the matcha sticks Adagio offers. Impressively, both the peach and Matcha flavors are present and noticeable. It leaves a pleasant aftertaste. I didn't expect it to be so nice, actually.
-
Capricorn
I'm having this tea with a splash of oat milk. It has a coconut vanilla scent, very soft and pleasant. Luckily there's only a tiny hint of rose in this tea, as I hate rose. 😂 The taste is very very soft too, with coconut and just a bit of vanilla. This is a very delicate and light tea and I have to say I enjoy it much much more than I expected!
-
Thai Tea
I had this tea with some oat milk. I was so pleasantly surprised by the mild and tasty coconut! The tea does have some bitterness, so adding a sweetener is a good idea. I added about a quarter teaspoon of honey, which neutralized the bitterness. This tea is very delightful and I enjoyed it!
-
Bella Luna Blue
I brewed this tea for 5min. I can't really tell what it smells like. It has a light lemongrass taste. There also is some blueberry! Maybe it should be brewed longer. It's a light and enjoyable tea, but I'm not sure if it's worth the hype.
-
Honeybush Banana Nut
I'm SHOCKED, this tea really tastes like banana bread!! This will definitely become a regular.
-
Rooibos Caramel
I have to say I don't really get caramel, sadly. It's quite pure rooibos, actually. But it's not bad. Just not what it aims to be.
-
Gyokuro
I had this tea coldbrewed. The tea's aroma is almost sweet. And I feel like it has a light sweet taste, too! This is not your usual green tea, it's really light and has no bitterness at all. This is so easy to like that you could probably sell it as a refreshment drink or something.
-
The vert à la menthe
I coldbrewed this tea. The tea smells like a mint tea, no green tea in the scent at all. The taste primarily is a soft mint as well, but the green tea is there in the background.
-
Golden Mango
I coldbrewed this tea. The aroma is mango, very pleasant. The taste is mild mango nicely balanced with slightly bitter green tea, very flavorful. It's a nice tea and I recommend it!
-
CHAIkovsky
Isn't this a fun tea? 😂 It's a clove-heavy chai, and not too spicy. I enjoyed it. ☺️
-
Berry Pomp
I have to say that hot, this tea is too much hibiscus to me. But there's also something else buffering it. Coldbrewed, it's still hibiscus-ish but milder and the berries come through more.
-
Matcha Bergamotte
I have to say this isn't a proper matcha. It's more of an instant matcha-ish drink with lots of sugar. But to my shame I have to admit that I like it. 😂 Just don't expect matcha taste. The drink is sweet, citrus-y and creamy.
-
Strawberry Cheesecake
I'm usually not a fan of tisanes, but I really enjoy this one! :) It has a strong artificial strawberry cheesecake taste, luckily I like that! It's also very sweet. Tasty tea! 😁
-
Perfecto
The tea is very sweet and a bit tart (citrus-y?). It also tastes citrus-y and cassis-like, even though there are no currants listed in the ingredients. There are some flowers in the taste, too, but I can't tell which. I found this tea to be very enjoyable and I might reorder!
-
Serenity
This tea was okay, but to be honest it was mainly chamomile with a bit of yarrow. It was an interesting experience and not bad, but also not really remarkable.
-
Wonders of the World
The tea is very mild with a bit of a chocolate aftertaste. Maybe this tea should be brewed longer than recommended. 3min are too short in my opinion.
-
AquaExotica
I usually don't like hibiscus, so I have to say I'm prejudiced! I coldbrewed this tea. While the hibiscus is still there, it also tastes peachy and that makes it enjoyable to me. I'm always surprised by how good Kusmi's tisanes are.
-
Christmas Tea
This tea is incredibly smooth and the flavors combine to a rich and uplifting taste. It's not what I would think of as a a Christmas tea, but so much better. I love it.
-
Lassi Mango
This tea is amazing, really. It has such a realistic mango lassi flavor and is very smooth with a bit of astringency. I love it!
-
just peachy
This tea smells strongly like peach! This tea tastes pretty much like iced tea you can buy. I'm happy to find a fruit tisane without hibiscus!
-
Almond Gingersnap Cookie
I put wayy to much sweetener into this tea, so my opinion isn't worth too much. 😄 I also added oat milk. Of course it was way too sweet this way. The tea's aroma is ginger. The tea's taste is sweet as it is, there's a slightly ginger and nutty note to the tea.
-
Coldbrew Tea Zitrone & Minze
I had this tea as a mocktail with brown sugar and lime. Of course it was very sweet. The peppermint was mild and the citrus strong. This tea is nice but nothing exciting.
-
Digestiva
The aroma is chamomile and a bit of rooibos. The tea has a strong chamomile taste with a liquorice aftertaste. There's a tiny bit of fennel or anise as well, it's hard to distinguish. I don't taste the rooibos or mint. This tea was much nicer than anticipated and tasted healthy!
-
AquaRosa
I coldbrewed this tea, as I can't stand hibiscus at all and coldbrewing makes it better. 😄 The tea has a very fruity aroma, but the hibiscus is still there. The tea's taste is much nicer than expected though, I can taste the berries. ☺️ I think most notable are blackcurrant and maybe elderberry. Grape is there in the aftertaste. This is actually one of few hibiscus teas I'm able to enjoy!
-
Montagne Bleue
I had this tea with a splash of oat milk. It has a tiny bit of strawberry scent, but mostly black tea. The tea has a very subtle strawberry aftertaste. The tea itself has no astringency at all and only a bit of bitterness. The strawberry unfolds more as the tea cools down, also in the scent. But this is a tea you have to make time for, it's not for sipping it mindlessly at work. But it's pretty nice!
-
Melon Oolong
The tea's aroma is that of ripe honeydew melon. Juicy and delicious! I'm not sure if I primarily smell or taste it, but the melon definitely is there. I feel like the taste deepens and reminds me of melon even more. This tea really is amazing!
-
Allow Compassion
I coldbrewed this tea. The tea smells and tastes very herbal. I can taste hints of lemon, cinnamon and pepper. There's probably a bit of spearmint, too. I don't taste green tea or matcha at all. It's pretty much a herbal tea that pretends to be a green tea. 😄
-
Bienvenue a Paris!
I had this tea with oat milk. The tea smells fruity, like grape and raspberry. It has a faint grape taste, but not much besides that. Sugar also didn't really help. Maybe I just took too much water.
-
White Tropics
This is a very light tea, but the coconut is noticeable. It's quite satisfying. The pineapple is in the scent, but not really in the taste. I have to say I wish it was stronger.
-
Raspberry Green
The tea's aroma is raspberry, and strong. You can't say the same about its taste, though. It tastes like nothing, only the aftertaste is raspberry. How sad. Maybe it would be better coldbrewed.
-
Ooooh Darjeeling
I'm usually not someone to really enjoy unflavored teas, but this oolong is just so good. I had it with a splash of oat milk and it could take it well. This tea is so flavorful yet very smooth. Big big recommendation!!
-
Irish Breakfast
I had this tea as a presto (liquid) tea and added a splash of oat milk after watering down. I have to say that this tea is very mild! It's not bitter or astringent. I feel like people who don't like black tea could like it. I enjoyed it very much.
-
Orange
Sadly, this tea is - even with oat milk - a lot of black tea and almost no orange. I would've preferred it to actually taste like orange. :(
-
Calypso Green
I coldbrewed this tea, as this is the best way to have green tea imo. The tea is very fruity with mild orange. Sadly, I don't get coconut at all. But that's the thing with Communitea packets, sometimes you don't get everything. I think I'll order a sample to try it hot.
-
Coconut
I had this tea with a splash of oat milk. The coconut is rather subtle at first, but it definitely lingers in the aftertaste for quite some time! It feels a bit like having a coconut candy bar. 😄
-
Pisces
I had this tea with a splash of oat milk. It smells citrus-y, but I get the rooibos, too. The taste is, surprisingly, chamomile! It also has a touch of citrus, but the main taste is herbal. What a weird tea this is, haha. Even though I'm a pisces, this isn't my favorite, but it's not bad at all.
-
Aquarius
This tea has a smooth, cookie-ish scent. Its taste is dominantly black tea with a cookie-like taste to it too! It's nice, but I would've preferred the "cookie" to be the main taste. It's still a very nice tea!
-
Pu-erh Hazelberry
This tea smells deliciously sweet like cream, berries and chocolate. The taste is raspberry? Should be strawberry! 😄 And the cream and nut are there as well. This tea actually tastes much more like black forest cake than the actual black forest cake tea. I really like it!
-
mindful mint chai
This is just as it says, a chai with mint. The chai is on the milder side, which I enjoy. In general, this is a decent tea, but not something I'd go out of my way to buy it. But I'd enjoy it when offered. :)
-
Ceylon Sonata
Like most pure blacks, this tea reminds me of honey. It isn't bitter at all with a slight astringency.
-
Blue Mango Iced Tea
This is a wild ride! It was my first butterfly pea flower tea actually, so I didn't know what to expect. I discovered that I like the taste, so that was nice! The lemongrass stands out clearly as well. Sadly, the mango isn't really present, which would've made the tea even better, I think. But I found it to be perfect to drink on the go!
I brewed this tea hot, added about half a teaspoon of honey and then cooled it.
-
Earl Grey Bravo
I enjoyed this tea very much, it's a pleasant Earl Grey with a smooth yet fruity bergamot taste. :) I had it with oat milk.
-
Red Tent
This tea tastes mainly of chamomile and a bit of raspberry. It isn't bad, but I wouldn't buy it for the taste. If it happens to have an effect on my body, I'll update.
-
Black Forest Cake
I do taste berries, cherries and chocolate, but I have to say that this tea is quite bitter, even with oat milk, which puts a damper on my enjoyment.
-
Honeybush Mango
I really enjoyed this tea; it's a mild and fruity mango taste that's not artificial at all. It's very lovely with a subtle woody taste. 🤗
-
Strawberry Tea
Sadly, this tea only has the faintest strawberry taste. It's a lovely tea but not what I'd call strawberry flavored. :(
-
Almond Cardamom Cake
I had this tea with a splash of oat milk. This tea is very balanced, almond, cardamom and rooibos can all be noted. I then added a spoon of sugar to bring out the cake more. I think the tea is a bit too much in the standard dose, though. I might shorten the brewing time.
-
Green Rooibos Bonita
This tea is extremely fruity, I think the main taste is orange. But I can taste peach as well. I really enjoy green rooibos, it's such a gentle base for tropical teas!
-
Green Rooibos Key West
I really really like this tea, it's so mildly fruity, unlike the usual tart fruit tisanes with hibiscus. After having my sample I'm putting it on my wishlist. 😍
-
Yuletide Toddy
I think that this tea tastes like children's punch (which is delicious!). So hot it's a total treat, even though it has hibiscus. 😄 I wonder how it would be coldbrewed!
-
Passionfruit Tango
I didn't expect to even like this tea much, as it contains both hibiscus and rose petals, which I both despise. But, I got surprised! This tea is soooo good, at least coldbrewed. The strong cinnamon and fruity touch to it makes me want to drink a lot. Somehow this uncommon combination merges really well. It's so good, you should try it!
-
Cherry Green
The tea tastes pretty much like artificial cherry, but not in a sour or sweet way. I think it's okay, but I wouldn't buy it.
-
Yerba Mate
It's possible that I just treated this tea wrong - the low brewing temperature really confused me. The tea I got tasted like nothing, except for a slightly sharp taste in the back of my throat.
-
Pu-erh Tahiti
This was my first pu erh, and it has a really nice coconut taste with what I suspect is the pu erh. It made me feel good. ☺️
-
Pina Colada
This tea would be perfect if it didn't contain hibiscus. I coldbrewed it, as that's the only way I can stand hibiscus, and was delighted by the Pina Colada taste. The coconut really lingers, but my coconut-hating partner still liked it, so that's a quality sign 😄
-
Peach Tea
I'm absolutely in love with this tea. The peach taste is very strong. I bet it would make an amazing iced tea as well.
-
Almond Oolong
This tea tastes strongly like almond or marzipan, it really surprised me! It talkes oat milk well and leans towards the darker side of oolong.
-
Summer Night
This tea is so fresh, I love it! I get cranberry and orange. It almost tastes like lemonade. I bet it's awesome coldbrewed as well!
-
Chocolate Chip
I really wanted to like this tea, but ended up not doing so. While it smelled nicely like chocolate, the taste first was bitter and after adding sugar to it, astringent. It confused me so much! When I had it in a blend, it tasted much much better.
-
White Fuzzy Navel
You can definitely taste the orange and peach here, which is nice! And also the white tea. I just wish there was more punch to the tea. I'm ordering a sample now to find out how to brew this tea to perfection.
-
Fujian Orchid
I'm not experienced with unflavored oolongs, so maybe my opinion doesn't hold much weight. 😄 I luckily didn't get floral notes in this tea, as I'm not a fan of these. Instead, it tastes pretty much like a green tea with an added boldness factor. It's alright but not really interesting in my opinion. But maybe I'm just not sophisticated enough. 😄
-
Strawberry Banana Split
This tea had an ice cream-ish and strawberry taste to it, but sadly without any banana! It was sweet and nice, but I really wish there was any banana there.
-
Snow White
This tea smells lovely like apple, and has a very light apple taste. It's a nice tea, but I prefer my teas stronger.
-
Blackberry Sage Oolong
I received the iced tea version in a mystery box and cold-brewed it. It smells intensely like blackberry and a bit like sage. Unfortunately, the taste is rather weak. It's mild blackberry with slight sage notes. I wonder if it's better when brewed hot.
-
Sleepytime Peach
I absolutely love this tea, the peach is so strong and juicy. Yet this tea still feels like a sleppytime tea with all the herbs. It became an instant favorite!
-
Darjeeling Sungma Summer
I don't usually drink single origin teas, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I got this tea in a mystery box. I had it with oat milk.
The tea is unexpectedly mild and malty. It reminds me of Russian teas I've had. You know, the super strong ones. This is actually quite enjoyable, which I didn't expect. Thumbs up!!
-
Cerisier noir décaféiné
This is my favorite tea. It's soft, elegant and subtle. It's not an "in your face" tea. Instead, it gives you a delicate hug of fruity cherry/cherry blossom taste. And, since it's decaffeinated, I can drink it all day. It was an immediate reorder.
-
Wild Strawberry
I cold-brewed this tea. I'm surprised of the strong taste this tea has. Also, the hibiscus didn't come through, which is good! Instead, it's sweet and mild strawberry. That's a nice tea! (I'm sure if brewed regularly the hibiscus will be stronger, haha)
-
Sagittarius
This is a raspberry Earl Grey. It's really fruity! But the bergamot is quite prominent, which overshadows the other flavors. I personally would've toned it down, so that the other flavors stand out more.
-
Citron Green
I cold-brewed this tea. While it's lemon-y, almost like lemonade, the green tea still is prominent with a grassy flavor. This is definitely a well-balanced tea and I enjoy it. It'll be very refreshing!
-
Dragon Fruit Dream
I had this one in the iced tea version. Even though there's hibiscus in it, it wasn't tart at all! It was very enjoyable and fruity. I would get it again.
-
Foxtrot
I have to say that this is a very unexpected herb combination. Somehow, it even enhances each ingredient's smell. And surprisingly, the vanilla comes out first in taste! This blend really is something else.
This is probably an excellent bedtime drink or tea to drink when you're sick. I'll think about reordering!
-
bai hao yin zhen
I don't usually drink single origin teas, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I got this tea in a mystery box. It has a comforting aroma when brewed, very mild. Reminds me of honey. It tastes like a very very light green tea, herbal and subtle. You shouldn't pair this tea with any food or it will get overpowered. It does have quite some elegance to it.
-
Jin Kong Que
This is my first single origin black tea, I think. So I'm probably not doing this tea justice in my review. Just a disclaimer. 😁 I got this one in a mystery box.
It's quite malty and not bitter at all, which makes it very enjoyable! I had it with oak milk, so that might have covered some of the notes. I only get honey.
-
Kentucky Bourbon
I got this tea in my mystery box. Unfortunately, it really tastes like whisky, which I'm not a fan of. 😂 It's smokey and has this aftertaste on which I can't put my finger to say what it is, the "whisky" taste. This one will go to my friend, haha.
-
Gemini
This tea reminds me of apricot green. It has a light fruity smell and I taste both apricot and peach. The rose hip gives it a "herbal" touch. I think this is a tea you could sip on all day. :)
-
Jasmine Yin Hao
I got a small single sample in a mystery box and cold-brewed this tea. It smells pleasantly like jasmine. The taste is very very floral, I didn't expect that! It's really uplifting and refreshing. The green tea is there, but merely as a supportive role. I usually don't really drink jasmine tea, but I might have to change that.
-
White Strawberry Basil
This is an unusually strong white tea! For me, the main taste is basil and strawberry is rather weak. I enjoy basil though, and the combination of strawberry and basil too. This tea would be perfect if the two of them were more equally balanced.
-
Dreamberry
I got this tea from a mystery box. I wouldn't have chosen it myself, but I was so surprised to taste it! It's sweet, fruity and creamy without adding anything to it. The raspberry flavor really comes through. Thumbs up!!
-
Ginger Snap Oolong Chai
This is a wonderful oolong, with sugar and milk it tastes like ginger cookies. I love how the spices make it so indulgend and deeply flavored. This is an awesome tea, also in the summer!
-
Italienische Limone
This tea is nice. It tastes like lemon, but in a very sweet way, not sour at all. It's a great refresher cold-brewed!
-
Royal Dessert
I prefer this tea cold-brewed, which tones down the hibisbus and makes it a cherry-hibiscus drink. Hot brewed, I can't stand it, though, as it's so tart.
-
Puschkin
This tea tastes just like lemon ice tea, but hot! I suggest taking it with a bit of sweetener. It's lovely and fruity!
-
Bergamot Vanilla
I didn't really get vanilla here, but maybe sweetener would bring it out. It was a nice Earl Grey, though, but not as fruity as I like them best. But nothing wrong with this tea, really. :)
-
Erdbeer Rhabarber
I'm not a fan of this cold-brew tea. It doesn't taste like rhubarb at all, and only a bit like strawberry. Hibiscus is the main taste and brewing it for a longer amoung of time only makes the hibiscus worse, haha. But if you're into hibiscus, this tea might be for you!
-
Peach Cobbler
I absolutely love this tea. It really does taste like peach cake. Peach absolutely is in the foreground, but you can still taste the black tea.
-
Detox N.3 Purifies the Spirit
One of my favorite herbal tisanes. It's rather sweet because of the liquorice. I know that not everybody likes liquorice, so I'm warning all who don't enjoy it. This tea has a lot of it! :D
-
Té verde al jengibre con manzana
To my surprise, this tea includes apple and ginger and the two are a wonderful combination! They balance out each other nicely. Ginger is dominant but softened by the apple, making it a mild experience.
-
Black Forest
I think this tea is meant to be inspired by black forest cake, but I don't really think that it tastes alike. Instead, this tea takes me to the forest with many fresh forest fruits, which I enjoyed a lot!
-
Griechischer Bergtee Pfirsich Feige
This tea has many uncommon herbs inside, and to my surprise it tastes wonderful. It's rather sweet, even without added sweeteners. Peach is the dominant flavor. I think I'll reorder this tea!
-
Dreams of the Sultan
This tea smells wonderfully like passion fruit. It tastes strongly like pineapple and passion fruit, very fruity! The flavors are very natural, too. I found this tea to be very lovely.
-
Caramele
The caramel is there, but it's balanced with the black tea flavor. I prefer my caramel teas to have a stronger caramel flavor, but this tea is alright!
-
Framboise Chocolat
This tea tastes like black tea and raspberry, the chocolate isn't very strong. But the raspberry tastes very natural and I think I might reorder this tea!
-
Symphonie du Bonheur
This tea was a surprise win for me! It has a light but sweet taste of vanilla and almost gives a milkshake taste. I'm probably going to reorder this one!
-
Kirishima
This is a genmaicha made with hojicha. It has a genmaicha taste to it, but deeper and with more emphasis on the green tea. It even gives a bit of a seaweed flavor. I enjoy regular genmaicha more, but this tea has a good quality to it.
-
Earl Grey
The teabag is a really cute cotton sachet. According to its description, this tea has jasmine flavor to it, which one can smell and taste first in the tea. It also has a strong bergamot flavor and takes milk well. I enjoyed it both with a little milk and later with more milk and honey.
-
Gold Blend
This tea smells grassy, if that's a good way to describe a black tea. It's unlike any other black tea I know and has a robust body to it. I enjoyed it!
-
Apricot Green
At my first try, this tea was way too weak, so I tried it with 2 teaspoons of leaves instead of the recommended 1. Now I got a lovely light apricot tea with little green tea taste. I'm sure it would also be great coldbrewed.
-
Green Tea with Lemon
I brewed it for 1min, as I don't like my teas too strong. It smells pleasantly like green tea and lemon, as its name says. It tastes primarily like lemon (but not sour) with the green tea coming in second, but still very noticeable. Almost a bit of a nutty/roasted flavor on that part. Concluded, this is a nice simple green tea with lemon, thumbs up.
-
White Blueberry
I brewed my tea for 3min, maybe that wasn't long enough. Even though I smelled blueberry, the taste was very light. I'll try brewing it for longer and give an update.
Update: Longer brewing makes this tea bitter, don't do it. 😄 But using twice the suggested amount of tea made this a light blueberry tea that was enjoyable. Cold-brewing is the best way to go with this tea, I think.
-
Sweet Potato Pie
I'm drinking this tea with oat milk. It smells AMAZING, sweet and savory like a potato pie. I taste nutmeg, cinnamon and marshmallows at the first sip. And maybe even sweet potato? There's some sweet base to it. I continue to taste ginger, too. If sweet potato pie tastes like this tea, I'd really love to try it! I'm a big fan of combining sweet and spicy tastes.
The only thing I don't like about this tea is that there's gelatin in it. I'd love a vegan version of this tea!
-
Earl Grey Bella Luna
The dry tea smells intensely like bergamot and so does the liquid. But there's a little bit of coconut in the smell, too. I proceeded to add a splash of oat milk.
Tasting the tea, I'm surprised by the intense coconut taste. The tea is actually very mild and creamy, despite the bergamot coming in second. I would say that it's probably easier to like than a regular Earl Grey. This for sure is a unique blend. There's a lot going on in this tea and if you love flavored teas, give this a try. I for sure liked it.
