A solid blend of good quality teas. I can sense maltiness, roasted potatoes, slight astringency, slight bitter notes, a bit of grapefruit peel essential oils.
For those who want more than just a casual blend of black teas.

Flavors: Astringent, Bitter, Citrus, Malt, Potato, Roasted

I really like this one. One of my favorite “traditional breakfast blend” type of teas.

After opening the zip-bag you can only smell the bergamot oil.
After steeping the aroma is mellow, with only a bit of bergamot plus malt, a bit of sweetness.
But it’s the taste that reveals the complexity of this blend. Three kinds of the black tea complement each other really well, creating a rich effect, only slightly enhanced with the bergamot oil
I don’t add sugar to my teas and I very rarely use milk, but I guess this blend would go well with both these things.

Flavors: Bergamot, Malt

Wonderful aroma from the zip bag – just like a very high quality pipe tobacco. A hint of smoke (much lower than in the pure lapsang souchong), caramel, toffee, dried apples.
Very rich, complex aroma after steeping, with mellow smokiness, caramel, toffee, burnt sugar, fruit pie and burnt twigs.
And the taste? Slight sweetness that really complements the rest, smoke, maltiness, earthiness of the good base black tea.
That’s exactly my kind of a flavoured black tea. I would like some more of the smoke character, but it’s still great.

Flavors: Apple, Ash, Burnt Sugar, Caramel, Earth, Fruity, Malt, Smoke, Tobacco, Toffee

I love this one. It will never get old. I’m glad it found another fan.

A huge fan! Definitely my fave from Bird & Blend so far.

First of all, this blend looks so pretty – green tea mixed with dried apple cubes and blackberry pieces.
Out of the zip bag it smells herbal and fruity. Nice but not overly spectacular.
Brews into a pale color, obviously.
After brewing it smells mainly with apples, but more in the baked apple than cider way., plus some herbal and leafy notes.
The taste fits perfectly to the current first days of autumn: dried apples, a bit of base green tea in the background. I could use some more tea character, but it’s not bad.

Because it is nice. :)
Not great, certainly not outstanding, but surely it’s nice.

Very strong aroma after opening the zip bag with a lot of bergamot, strong floral accents, a bit of vanilla and woody, ashen undertones.
After steeping it is much more mellow, malty, earthy, with only traces of those aromas present in the dry form.
And the taste is also very mellow, full-bodied, with very slight astringency.
I like this tea. It’s a mellower version of the classic Earl Grey, perfect to sip while reading, not overdone with the bergamot oil.

Wonderful smell from the zip bag, Rhubarb, vanilla, fruit pie. After steeping it becomes much more mellow, in a liquid, custard-like way, just like a sweet vanilla custard poured over the soft, baked rhubarb pieces. Base rooibos notes remain in the background.
And the taste is barely sweet (which is good), with distinct rhubarb/vanilla character.
Very warming autumn tea, really matches sweet desserts.

Flavors: Custard, Fruity, Rhubarb, Sweet, Vanilla

I’m not actually a fan of herbal blends, but I like the world created by C.S. Lewis and I love Turkish delight sweets, so i decided to give it a go.
The aroma coming from the opened zip-bag is terrific, because the tea definitely does smell like rose-scented Turkish delights with chocolate added.
However, after brewing it is not as tempting. It is seems very floral, rosy, with only a bit of cocoa. Too much like perfume and soap.
Fortunately the taste is better. The blend really tastes like Turkish delights in a liquid form, a bit sweet, rich, not too rosy, with slight citrusy notes in the background.
All in all, I like this tea and I don’t regret buying it. But one sample zip-bag seems enough, I’m not planning to repeat it.

Heavy, malty, honey, sweetish aroma.
Very malty taste, slightly bitter, slightly astringent.
It’s not good, honestly. But it certainly is passable.

The box is very nice though. Too bad that tea isn’t that great :)

dreamloomer

Fortunately it was cheap (around 4€ for 100 g). so I have a passable tea and a nice box for a low price. :)

Martin Bednář

That’s indeed nice price; somehow typical for us Eastern Europeans :)

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.
