Really bland, absolutely watery, almost devoid of any taste. It’s not even bad, it’s just completely featureless.

I remember drinking black tea from Tetley during my Poland trip and well, this seems a wee better :D

Dominated by sweetish, artificial vanilla, then slight blueberry note and a bit of malty base tea in the back. Drinkable but rather meh. 50/100

I like the base black tea character in here. Only marginally astringent, slightly bitter, really characterful for a bagged tea, with subdued but discernible lemon note. 70/100

drank Ginger & Honey by Dilmah

This tea is completely dominated by spicy ginger character. And I wouldn’t mind it, except that it is backed by only a bit of the malty, base black tea note and there is almost no honey present. Very one-dimensional tea.

Flavors: Ginger

Very warming aroma, with honey, citruses, fruity and flowery (bordering on perfume-y) notes.
Very delicate flavour, not dominated by addons. Probably too delicate, but I’m not going to use a higher honeybush-to-volume ratio, because the aroma is going to be overdone then.

Flavors: Citrusy, Flowers, Fruity, Honey, Papaya, Perfume

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 5 g 10 OZ / 300 ML

Distinct lemon peel aroma, very refreshing, over malty foundation.
Very casual, easygoing impression in flavour. Unobtrusive base black tea plus a bit of lemon peel. Warming in winter, but probably refreshing and cooling in summer as cold brew.

Flavors: Lemon Zest

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 5 g 300 OZ / 8872 ML

Pumpernickel, vanilla, nuts and a bit of cocoa in aroma.
Rich and complex flavour, with solid malty body, distinct astringency and quite long aftertaste.
Very interesting and delicious tea.

Flavors: Astringent, Cocoa, Malt, Nuts, Vanilla

205 °F / 96 °C 5 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

Bio

I drink tea almost all the time.

However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.

1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…

2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.

I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
