Great! I got my eyes stuck on this one when I visited the local supermarket. It’s a pretty decent Earl Grey, whose citrus flavor pretty much gives a kick to it. It might be a sign of addiction, but I didn’t get any coffein hype from it. I would recommend this tea for afternoons, right before a darjeeling.

Great tea! I got a sample when I bought my new glass pot in Berlin, and I have to say that this was amazing. The caramel kicked in at the end, which is reasonable. You can feel the fruits all the way though!

This is the one tea that made me realize green teas are actually good! Perfect taste and scent. You will for sure be able to smell cacti, the ‘greeniness’. Conclusion: it is a great tea for quite a favourable price.

I never drank Irish Cream teas before, but this one is amazing. I love its scent, its taste. The only thing that bothers me is that it is not available in loose leafs.

A typical Pickwick tea. Not the best, but perfectly fine. The little citron taste next to the bergamot made it go very well.

Not the best fruit tea, but feels refreshing when cold. Sometimes you’d like to add a black tea bag to it to make it a bit more ‘challenging’.

Boiling 8 min or more 3 tsp 17 OZ / 500 ML

Excellent tea. Feels a bit strong for a green tea. I sometimes put a fruit tea bag to the cup and that tastes amazing!

I work for Red Hat, where I work on the Linux Kernel and Virtualization things. I also drink a lot of tea there. All kinds of tea. Good and bad. Loose leaf and bagged.

Personal favorites are white, oolong and green teas! I’m OK with black teas, prefer Earl Greys though. :-)

I tend to keep an updated cupboard, should you need anything, feel free to write to me!
