HYLEYS

A nice green tea, smooth with no bitterness and a vegetal/hay flavour, I like it. However, where are the lemon and orange notes in this? Undetectable by my estimation. Still lovely as a green tea offering and I would happily drink it again.

I accidentally left the teabag in too long the first time I drank this, and it tasted like straight-up lemon floor polish. Not good! A second steep revealed a bit of the mild green base, but it still smelled acrid. I shall abstain from rating this one.

How fun — I’ve never had a thyme tea before, despite having a very robust thyme plant in my herb garden! I wasn’t sure if I’d like it, but I’m actually enjoying it. The earthy thyme slightly overwhelms the black tea base, but not in a bad way. There’s not a ton of depth here, but I’m glad I tried this!

I have to stop buying black tea, thinking that because it’s “flavoured”, I’m miraculously going to love it. That being said, this isn’t bad. I think they achieved what they were going for, flavour-wise.
A black tea base which is a little bitter and astringent with a predominant coconut taste. You get the tropcal vibe but I don’t get anything pineapple-y per se, it’s just a hint of sweetness but it works. Nothing lactonic at all. I’m wondering if this might be nice with some almond milk and sugar? Perhaps. Still, it absolutely does remind one of a Pina Colada so it gets points for what it advertises. A solid 7/10!
