Cardew & Co.

I’ve definitely had this tea somewhere else, so it was funny to be reunited with it during my UK visit. The scent and flavor are super strongly marzipan. It’s best cold with milk and sugar. There was a time when this tea would have been perfect for me, but these days it’s a little one-note for me, with the marzipan super overpowering anything else. My sister really enjoyed it though.

Another sample from Oxford. I overleafed this, and still the flavor is incredibly weak. It’s a little appley, but there isn’t much more to note. The resteep tasted like apple juice, which was nice.

I got this sample in Oxford. I overleafed this by a lot, but even so, it turned out pretty light. I taste red fruits, but nothing is very special. The resteep was super standard.

Lovely refreshing cup. Has a slight sweetness to it, almost a hint of honey.

Had a cup of this yesterday with breakfast. I was craving a nice strong, dark black tea and this really hit the spot!!

Had this tea this morning (okay this afternoon) before class. It was delightful as always!

First cup of the day. YUMMY!

Birthday breakfast tea!!

I love love love this as my morning pick-me-up!

Happiness in a cup :-)

Was in the mood for a good solid black tea this morning and this was it!

Had this tea this morning with homemade blueberry waffles = yum! I love this tea. It is a very sturdy breakfast tea, the best I have ever had :-)

I made a pot of this last night, it is the first time I have ever made this tea in a pot. It is a little weaker then when I make it by the cup – I think that it is because the water wasn’t hot enough to start. It is still delicious though – oh and I am having it iced by the way. I think it holds up nicely and is refreshing. I am on my second cup now which is just as good as the first.

Also I just realized that I believe I am the only one that rated this tea and yet the average rating is an 80 – how does that work – haha.

A wonderful cup of tea for a miserable (weather wise) day.

Had this this morning. It smells so delicious. I wish my whole apartment smelled like this tea. It smells rich and exactly like black tea should smell. I slightly over-steeped it but it was still pretty good, but then again anything that has caffeine tastes good at 6:30 in the morning.

Decided to try this with milk today. I like it better without but it was still pretty good and gave me an energy boost before class.

A really pleasant black tea. This tea is very light and relaxing but also has a strong black tea flavor. It smells absolutely delicious and has a hint of something that distinguishes it from Irish & English Breakfast tea that I can’t quite put my finger on. I would definitely recommend this tea.
