289 Tasting Notes
Dry Leaf Nose: Strawberries and cream.
Liquor: Dark brown/classic black tea.
Flavour: Strawberries and whipped cream with a cake-like background. Very appealing and remarkably like a strawberry shortcake in character of flavour.
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Pineapple and coconut
Liquor: Clear-brown.
Flavour: Piña colada flavour – strong notes of pineapple with a coconut background. Sweet and fruity.
Preparation
Haha, after my last experiment trying three Pina Colada teas in one night (after a real virgin pina colada), my stomach is churning a little… (but someone’s gotta make a good pineapple coconut tea eventually, right?!)
Dry Leaf Nose: Sweet pear aroma with vanilla notes.
Liquor: Golden colour.
Flavour: Very sweet and delicious pear flavour – this is not a subtle blend and makes an excellent iced tea. Variety of pear is the Bosc (AKA “winter pear”).
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Berry, fruity strawberry.
Liquor: Murky gold-green colour with a berry-fruity aroma of strawberries.
Flavour: Strawberry flavour outshines the green rooibos, and leaves a refreshing strawberry aftertaste.
Preparation
I can’t believe Swampwater has been discontinued! I hope it comes back again in the near future. It is my favorite tea, ever!
Nicole, I am in the same position. I really enjoy this tea and thought it was going to be online only. Yet the company has decided to change their policy.
Dry Leaf Nose: Sweet, sweet watermelon.
Liquor: Rosy tone and usually clear coloured, although this can vary depending on the amount of fruit present in the steep.
Flavour: Sweet watermelon.
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Chilies with ripe tropical fruit.
Liquor: Golden with a slight green tinge.
Flavour: Very ripe mango with a hot chili background. Naturally fruity, sweet and hot!
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Wonderful fruity and floral aroma that is sweet and clean.
Liquor: Golden green colour with a wonderful fruity, floral aroma.
Flavour: Floral notes prevail in the cup and are well-supported by the fruity notes of the hibiscus. Jasmine hints finish the cup.
Preparation
Having it right now. It is nice and fruity. Tastes like it smells. I get more of a white tea taste from it than a green but I will be buying more of this one.
Dry Leaf Nose: Minty with a citrus and fruity note.
Liquor: Golden yellow to light red.
Flavour: Minty and fruity with a slightly tart taste. Prominent rosehip and hibiscus notes that are balanced by the lemongrass that adds a citrusy background. Valerian root is buried in the complex character of the blend (which is good because it can have an acrid taste).
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Fruit ambrosia, sweet but light.
Liquor: Clear pink/red liquor that is fragrant from the fruit, but still delicate
Flavour: Fruit mélange is the main note with a sweet-tart taste and cinnamon finish. Refreshing and satisfying.
Preparation
Just curious – if this one’s not a new tea (which it doesn’t appear to be), why put up a description like this now?? Made me excited until I saw that there were year-old tasting notes :( (And I’m not familiar with it, so it probably doesn’t exist anymore).
How did you find that out?! I use Facebook to be up on things and somehow missed the new teas AND the re-release of this.
Is this to compliment the other cake teas or is this something separate?
@Heather: The others were a limited edition launch. This one is a standalone cake tea (kind of like Carrot Cake was).
Yay!!!!! cannot wait!
