Popular Tasting Notes
A simple but nice Earl Grey. It isn’t very heavy on the cream, but I’m thinking the smoothness comes from that aspect. Really nice Earl Grey flavour though! If I didn’t already have a ton of stand-by Earl Grey, I’d consider keeping more of this around.
I’ve got a bunch more samples from Shanti that I’m quite eager to try! Really keen on finding more Canada-based companies.
Preparation
I got excited when I saw this sitting in my teacher’s tea basket. She was excited that I wanted to try it. So, after several attempts of taking a drink (and burning myself) I finally got a taste.
First, it doesn’t really taste like much. It tastes a little peppery to me. Not bad but not something that I would drink all the time.
Second, this tea smells like bacon. I swear it does. One of my classmates sat down from me and asked where the bacon was so I wasn’t the only one.
Overall, it isn’t something I would drink all of the time but it was interesting to try.
Preparation
I have a hard time not buying tea when I’m in the grocery store, even if I know it’s going to sit on the shelf for months and months. I bought this one to aid digestion. There’s nothing terrible about it, but nothing great, either. Sometimes I add it to black tea when I’m mixing a chai. In essence – “meh.”
The first notes that hits me are chamomile and linden. I think the rooibos has dulled down the overall flavor just a bit. This tisane isn’t very exciting to me, as it has a very monotone character, but it might make a good sleepy-time tea.
I’ll try steeping it for longer and see if that brings out any of the other, more interesting, components (like lemon myrtle, hyssop, cyani and rose petals).
Preparation
This tea really helped with my motion sickness honestly! It was easy to drink iced and I would make it before road trips as to feel better during the ride. I would recommend and to not put to many leaves in to make it to strong.
