I think I’ve had white tea before, although I can’t remember what it was like, so it’ll be interesting to see how this tastes.

The tea has a pale golden-yellow appearance and a delicate floral taste. It is quite a pleasant tea, and I decided to steep it again to see how the flavour changed.

The second steeping produced a slightly stronger cup, still quite pleasant to drink.

I decided to try a black tea from the Vahdam samples today, choosing this one.

I’ve not had a lot of loose leaf black tea before – most of the time when I’ve had a black tea, it’s been bagged and most of the time when I’ve had loose leaf tea it’s been a green or herbal tea. With a bag I often just left it in for a second or two before disposing of the bag, which meant a rather weak taste.

This tea tastes fine, it has a malty flavour, it has a bit of an aftertaste which lingers for a few seconds after a sip. It’s not one of my favourites so far, but it is drinkable. I think the next time I drink this, I’ll steep it for three rather than four minutes.

Another of the samples I bought from Amazon.

I think I’ve had oolong tea before, but it was in a bag rather than loose leaf. This tea has a golden appearance. It tastes quite nice, the flavour is fruity and enjoyable.

Overall, I found it to be a really good tea, certainly one I would drink on a regular basis.

I wanted to get into teas, I’ve drunk many before but usually they’ve been bagged teas from the supermarket. Along with a temperature-controlled kettle, I purchased samples of tea from Vahdam Teas.

As I am quite sensitive to caffeine, I decided that the first tea I would try would be one of the herbal tisanes. I’ve had turmeric tea before but wasn’t a big fan, hopefully this tea will be better.

After steeping, the tea was a pleasant golden colour, I’m unable to describe the smell as I have a very poor sense of smell.

This tea was certainly a lot nicer than the turmeric tea I’ve had before, plus the ginger didn’t burn my throat as it often does when I drink teas with it in. The taste is good, not too strong and not too weak.
