It is time for Day 2! It's Melbourne Grey which promises to be familiar yet complex like the city itself (okay then).
Black tea, vanilla flavouring, bergamot flavouring, cornflower petals.

Bit perfumy (I'm not an Earl Grey fan though). Bergamot scent is clear, not getting any vanilla.

Flavour is mostly black tea. There's a hint of floral to it, and a vanillay aftertaste.

The floral gets a bit soapy after a while, I think I'd prefer just the vanilla and bergamot, both of which are quite nice in both sip and aftertaste.

My god I'm writing these like my opinion on tea is anything 😂

Day 3! Jade mountain, a flavoured green tea. I'm not a huge green tea drinker mostly because i never think of it. This is not brewed at the suggested 80°C because my kettle doesn't do that fancy stuff. It's not boiling water though.

Contains Genmaicha (which is green tea with roasted rice) with hazelnut, cocoa husks, blackberry leaves, almonds, carob, chicory root and "flavourings".

Smells, in the bag, like the triangle chocolates from Quality Street.

I'm mostly getting roasted rice, flavourwise. It smells of more things, I'm just not picking them up. Perhaps my palate has been ruined by 70,000 cups of good strong Yorkshire Tea...

Day 4! Sleep Tight a "perfect night time brew".

Lemon balm, lavender and rose petals.

The dry bag smells like dried hay. Or dry grass, if you didn't have a horsey upbringing.

The brewed tea smells of ..something. Smells sort of generally herby. No lavender or rose.

Flavour is also "generally herby". I'm not getting lavender or rose. Perhaps the slightest whiff of citrus. Some minty hints. It tastes weirdly strong yet not really OF much. It's quite nice though.

Minty Hints would be a great band name.
