382 Tasting Notes
Strong malty aroma, slight bergamot notes.
Rich, full, mellow taste, with no bitterness or astringency. The bergamot notes are very subdued.
I wouldn’t call this tea Earl Grey, or even Earl Grey Flavoured, but it’s relatively passable for Lipton.
Flavors: Bergamot, Malt
Preparation
A lot of strawberries in aroma, seem rather natural, like a fruit pie. There also fresh, strawy notes of green tea.
And it really tastes like strawberry cupcake, The base green tea is very subtle and mellow, with no bitterness. I usually consider it a flaw, especially evident in big company etas, but here it fits quite well.
Not bad, not bad at all.
Flavors: Cake, Freshly Cut Grass, Fruity, Straw, Strawberry

Preparation
Very strong aroma, both refreshing and warming, blends perfectly both ingredients.
Distinct liquorice sweetness is the first impression. Peppermint is usually quite assertive, but here it lurks in the background, not having the chance to dominate.
Good warming brew, but only for avid liquorice fans.
Flavors: Licorice, Peppermint, Sweet
Preparation
Very strong combined aroma of ginger and lemon peel oils, with subtler notes of pepper and liquorice.

All in all it’s nice and warming, but not lemony enough for its name.

Great balance in aroma, with aniseed, fennel and liquorice subtle permeate each other, a a bit of dried apple lies in the background.

Preparation
Nice, balanced mixture of bergamot, vanilla, cloves, citrus zest and an impression of slight smokiness in aroma.
The taste is also smoky and quite woody, dry, with all the spices and adjuncts in the background.
Good, solid tea not overdone with adjuncts.
