Afternoon Blend

This is a nice stand-alone black tea. Medium Strength, Medium flavors of aromatic floral and bergamot – maybe a bit on the lighter side of medium, actually. But regardless this is a really gratifying cup!

Thank you Ellyn! I think this is the tea I received in the swap. Well today has been very interesting and long. This tea is nice. The bergamot is actually quite light. This is a very light tasting tea. I’m getting some floral notes. I enjoyed this! Thank you.

Ooh, I say! A lovely drink. The subtle mixture of jasmine and bergamot gives a delightful light taste. Considering that I do not usually like Earl Grey, this more subtle addition to the blend is more to my taste.

Made with a teabag, am drinking it with a splash of milk and am very much enjoying this cuppa :-)

On a good day, it tastes like an Earl Grey with a twist – something with Bergamot will always be Earl Grey in my eyes. The jasmine makes it taste quite civilised and regal somehow. I think it’s probably the perfect Afternoon drink with scones or something like that.
On a bad day the flavours seem to be battling each other rather than harmonising. Not sure whether it’s how I brewed it or the mood I was in. So in short, it’s quite a mixed review going on here…

Very nice, light tea to drink at any time of day. I drink it with a splash of milk usually or very few leaves and no milk. Refreshing, zingy after-taste too.

I am a bit disappointed with this blend. It makes a very smooth cup of tea. This, of course, is out of the question. But the flavors of the jasmin and the rose pedals are overpowered. The subtile notes of Oolong tea are very hard to find on one’s tongue.Bergamot and a very strong black tea as base make me end up with just another cup of ‘Earl Grey’….Anyways, I’ll keep trying. Maybe reduce the steeping time.

I made the mistake of letting this brew for five minutes once. Undrinkable.

But at just the right balance of strength and milk, I find this really comforting. It’s a good black tea with the right amount of floral taste and it still has a kick to it.
