Buckingham Palace

Thanks Liberteas

I agree with my Sororitea Sista in saying this tastes different each time I tried it. I’m on my 3rd cup. The first two cups were from the same leaves, however. I almost liked the 2nd infusion a tad better than the first…which confuses me for a Buckingham Palace Tea!

It could have been that my water was too hot, too, but it was bold, super strong, and somewhat malty which I did enjoy but it also had a foreign DRY taste…kind of like Cotton-Mouth after a night of drinking too much wine! LOL

On the 2nd infusion I could pick up random citrus notes and not so much on the dry side of things…it was still sturdy but a little less strong and not as malty…it was a bit sweeter as well.

This is alright for a Buckingham Palace…not my favorite but certainly not my least fave either.

The description suggests that every cup of this tea is a mystery. Right now, as it is still very hot, I taste sweet, malty tones and a hint of bergamot. It is very robust. I can smell the jasmine notes wafting out of the cup but I don’t really taste it. As I continue to sip (carefully, as I don’t wish to burn my tongue!) I notice hints of jasmine develop.

As it cools, a freshly baked bread taste emerges. The bergamot seems to be waning, as if it is drifting off into the distance. The jasmine that started to develop at the start seems to have distanced itself as well. Now, I taste mostly black tea – rich and bold with a fair amount of astringency.

nice tea
