289 Tasting Notes
Dry Leaf Nose: Fruity with a very fresh aroma.
Liquor: Red clear liquor, very bright red.
Flavour: No cloying sweetness here, here just a fresh and fruity sweetness that passes from the palate quickly and leaves the mouth refreshed and wanting more. The sea buckthorn brings its own distinct character which is lively and acidic.
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: A warm green tea note laden with both creamery and chestnuts notes.
Liquor: The liquor sports a very fresh and excptionally sweet tea oil aroma which includes a dairy fresh cream note, with a hint of roasted chestnuts and warm butter.
Flavour: First and most striking is the smooth quality of the liquor which is augmented by the silky sweet nose of the cup. The fresh green tea notes are equally balanced by fresh cream and slight roasted chestnut nuances. The tea is excellent in both the first and second steeps – the second being extremely smooth and subtle.
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Pink lemonade.
Liquor: Pink colour with a slight cloudiness.
Flavour: The flavour is very reminiscent of pink lemonade. A slight tartness from the lemon, but overall sweet with a very nice citrusy aftertaste
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Mint, coconut and creamy caramel with a touch of citrus.
Liquor: Golden brown, clear cup with a slightly minty, creamy and sweet aroma, underpinned with a very delicate citrus.

Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Mango is prominent with a sweet background of tropical friuits.
Liquor: Golden, bright colour liquor with a prominent mango and pineapple aroma.
Flavour: A blend of sweet tropical fruits with the mango dominating the whole. Sweetness comes from the pineapple. Tart citrus notes abound.
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: An intriguing mix of sweet coconut and delicate white tea.

Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: A rich aroma of honey and freshly plucked tea leaves, with just a touch of caramel.
Liquor: Bright and clear liquor with a red-brown colour and sparkling appearance.
Flavour: A brisk and lively flavour that is both refreshing and awakening at first sip. The zesty mouthfeel is indicative of it being absolutely fresh – less than 10 days off of the bush when it arrives at DT. Dark honey notes in the cup sweeten the rich flavours
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Sweet tropical fruits with hints of ripe mango.
Liquor: Golden yellow liquor with notes of tropical fruits aroma.
Flavour: A rich and ripe melange of tropical fruits with a profile that alternates between pineapple and mango. The papaya adds a buffering sweetness that develops in the cup.
