Company: Special Teas www.specialteas.com
Name: English High-Grown Leaf Blend
Ingredients: Black tea
Smell: mild warm brown grass.
Taste: First taste of tea cut with water no sugar or cream. Mild smooth black tea with a slight lift of tannins after swallowing. Taste with cream and a pinch of sugar. Mild flavor with the same lift as the first taste. Comforting and drinkable.
I like it. I will probably buy more in the future. It will be a wonderful all day tea.

Tea Review: Green Tea Lemon Drop
Company: Special Teas www.specialteas.com
Name: Green Tea Lemon Drop
Ingredients: Green tea, lemon myrtle, citrus peel, ginger, lemon grass, orange bits, chamomile and flavoring.
Smell: coconut, white chocolate, vanilla. Can not smell the green tea or citrus.
Taste: Initially it hits the tongue as tangy and bitter. A little of the green tea is detectable. Still hits the nose as white chocolate and vanilla after swallowing. After effects on the mouth is astringent.
Not to my liking. I will not be buying any more of this one. I was not able to finish the cup much less the pot. Perhaps I brewed it wrong. I will try one more time with a shorter brewing time. Some green teas can sit and others don't hold up well to long steeping.
