125 Tasting Notes

I’m sure those who love Turkish Delight will love this tea, as it tastes just like the candy. But for me, I’m not a fan of the confectionery or roses, which this tea tastes very strongly of. Actually, just realizing I quite dislike rose in anything, which probably makes me weird given its popularity.
It’s not a bad tea by any means though. It’s just not for me.

I can taste the cherry. I can taste the chocolate. I can taste the coconut. Three big ticks :D
The smell is exactly like the candy bar, but like most flavoured teas, it seems rare that the taste is as strong.
But that’s absolutely fine for this tea. It’s still delicious and so smooth that I didn’t feel the need to add milk. The flavours also seem to develop further even after you take the leaves out and leave it to stay warm in the pot.
This was a 95c sampler sachet but I may have to buy a full packet of this.

This is my favourite green tea of all time. OF. ALL. TIME. conviction on par with Kanye West trashing T.Swift circa 2009.
It’s never astringent but has a tangy bitterness that is SO GOOD and SO REFRESHING I can feel it detoxing me from the inside.
For me, perfect results are at 75 degrees Celsius for four minutes. Have yet to try it iced coz it is just so damn good hot.
I hardly ever rebuy a tea coz I love the novelty of trying new ones but I’ve spent money on this one maybe three or four times now.
Adore.

A subtle yet noticeable cookie flavour complements the tea base without overwhelming. I enjoyed this straight before adding milk, which seemed to water it down a little. I had brewed it according to the packet instructions i.e 2 and a half minutes so perhaps if I use milk next time, I’ll add an extra minute to steeping time. Becomes slightly more flavourful when cooled down but can dry out my mouth a little for some reason. Nonetheless I’d still reach for this tea to quell any cookie cravings

Hey everyone!
I’m relatively new to tea and have yet to taste very many decafs but I still liked this one reasonably well.
When you first open the packet, what hits you immediately is the heavy scent of bergamot and you just know the flavour is really going to stand out. You can’t really smell tea too much though, but since it’s a decaf, that might be somewhat standard?
When brewed, the bergamot is most definetely rich and high-quality like the description says. But the tea taste isn’t very present at all. It does feel a little thin in the mouth, like bergamot-flavoured water.
So I add milk and for once, some sugar as well and it basically becomes a sweet bergamot milk, which for me isn’t so bad as it still becomes a comforting drink I can enjoy at night.
If anyone has suggestions for great decafs available in Australia, or which ship to Aus at a non-exorbitant price, I would be ever so happy to hear your suggestions.
Thanks for reading!

This does taste as good as it smells. And how it smells is really quite lovely.
As been mentioned by other reviewers, it lacks body but I find adding milk does help in bringing out the tea base. Nothing that stands out too much about this one, but it is definetely a worthwhile blend to try if you ever walk past a Tea Centre

Not too happy with this one. The tea base is quite bland and the peach flavour is there but hardly. It just was not a delicious drink. Also, some green teas tend to give me a headache and this was one of them.

Gorgeous tea. The caramel and vanilla blend to taste more like honey than cream, so it does become quite a sweet beverage. A little too sweet if I drink too much of it straight, so when that happens, I just add a dash of milk and finish off the whole pot. I’m loving the strength of the tea base as well. Go and enjoy it guys!

Smells and tastes calming…but that might be a placebo thing going on. Not much of a strong flavour to it at all – I mainly notice cinnamon. The orange peel would have provided more body but it doesn’t come across very much. I like how the fennel adds a nice bit of sweetness to the mix but I don’t think I would repurchase this as there are tastier herbals around. Still, it’s a nice caffeine-free option for a hot and healthy drink at night

Bio

Australian tea drinker from Sydney.

I enjoy all kinds of tea except rooibos. Black and roasted oolongs are my true lovers while green tea makes me a little dizzy. Pu-erh I have yet to explore, despite being gifted several cakes. On the look-out for a great herbal tea and also getting the matcha madness.

Have yet to add everything to my Steepster cupboard, but would be interested in an Australian tea swap in the future!

The variety here is not as extensive as other places due to import regulations and the cost of shipping but I own and like stuff from Harney & Sons, Lupicia, T2, Teavivre, Butiki, Mariage Freres, Verdant, Yunnan Sourcing and Whispering Pines Tea Company.
