I’m half chuckling that people say this tastes like curry whilst the other half of me is thinking that I really don’t want to drink a curry tea… I wanted it to be sweet.

The raw mixture looks and smells perfect. It smells like apple and caramel in a fairly strong way. It also looks aesthetically pleasing with it’s little red candy pieces, brown caramel pieces and white/yellow apple pieces.

Once steeped the tea becomes reddish brown in colour with a sweet and slightly sour apple smell.

Yummy. I can taste sweet caramel with a hint of apple but it’s smooth and a little creamy… like vanilla but not quite. The apple tastes fresh enough with that slight sweet and sour tang that it naturally has but the caramel and candy give it that oomph in sweetness for a nice boost. I can’t taste curry like other people have stated but I haven’t tasted every single curry in the world so it is still possible that it does.

I wish I had this tea for Halloween… I want to bob for apples and eat ream caramel apples now. :( So long to wait until next Hallows Eve. Watches the clock and waits …. I will be here a long time.

Bio

I’m 34 years old from Leicester, England named Kayleigh.

I started off many years ago drinking herbal and fruit teas which over time peaked my interest in trying new types. Eventually I began to import and sample many different teas and cultures which I still do today. My life goal is to try as many teas and ways of having tea as possible.

Tea wise my cravings change constantly from pu erh one month to jasmine green to the next and so on.

I also enjoy watching Japanese Anime and horror films.

I am always up for tea swaps so if you see anything in my virtual cupboard then please contact me.

A short list to help swapping with me easier though honestly I am not fussy and am willing to try anything. Plus the notes below are usually, sometimes I love a tea that has an ingredient I tend to dislike and other times I hate a tea that I thought I would love.

Likes: Any fruit but especially melon and orange, vanilla, all tea types (black, green, white etc), nuts (any), flowers, ginger, chai.

Dislikes: Licorice, aniseed, clove, eucalyptus, lavender.

My rating system
I have my own way of rating teas that makes each one personal. I have different categories, I rate each tea depending on what it is made of. For example: I rate green teas in a different way to black teas or herbal teas. So black, white, green, Pu Erh, Rooibos, Oolong, blends and tisanes all have their own rating system. That way I can compare them with other teas of the same or similar type before for an adequate rating. And when I do give top marks which is very rare I am actually saying that I would love to drink that tea all day, every day if possible. It’s a tea that I would never turn down or not be in the mood for. So while I agree that no tea is 100% perfect (as nothing is) I am saying that it’s as close as it comes to it. After all, in my book the perfect teas (or close to perfect anyway) are ones that I could drink all the time. That is why you will find a high quality black or Oolong will not have as high a score as a cheap flavoured blend, they are simply not being compared in the same category.
