I do love a bit of quince jam and the characteristic tart-ripe note of the fruit is indeed highly present scent wise in the dry tea. Unfortunately, this complexity doesn’t quite translate to the cup – the main body of the scent matches that of the flavour, but the quincey aftertaste goes missing somewhere along …

Kiwi-vanilj (Kiwi Vanilla) – Kränku
This is the first kiwi-flavoured tea I’ve tried – I always assumed kiwi was one of those fruits that would turn out very artificial. When I received this as a gift, though, I was very excited to try it – particularly after smelling it. The scent in the bag is gorgeous; like a big bowl …
Champagne grädd (Champagne & Cream) – Tehörnan
The scent of the dry tea really appeals to me. It holds that promise of the unexpected I always seem to be looking for, that note of ‘what could this possibly taste like?’. And this tea delivers – unfortunately to the extent that I can’t quite explain it. The cornflower is highly present in the …
Strawberry & Vanilla – Lupicia
This is Lupicia at their very best. In the bag, a natural, sweet, ripe strawberry meets a rich and creamy vanilla. Lupicia usually go for a very subtle vanilla flavour, but in this case, either they’ve kicked it up a notch, or the strawberry gives it more punch, as the vanilla is highly present both …
Momoko – Lupicia
Scent wise, this is very peachful and sweet with vanilla. The dry tea itself is not as beautiful as many other flavoured greens from Lupicia – there’s the occasional petal, but I see no trace of the cornflower and there are no discernible pieces of fruit. Peach and vanilla with floral notes is everything I …
La Poire – Palais des Thés
Lupicia’s fruity teas tend to be the standard by which I measure all others – I love their strong scents and sweet, juicy flavours – and most of all the fact that said scents and flavours hardly ever hit artificial notes. They’re such happy, friendly teas. Sometimes, however, I want a tea that is somewhat …
Paradise Green – Lupicia
This tea is lush in the bag, petals and fruit pieces participating without being showy, and it smells absolutely gorgeous. What I usually say about Lupicia’s fruity/floral green teas coming off as very natural and fresh applies here, too. There is nothing artificial about the scent, which consists of a concentrated, ripe fruity base with …
Tsugaru Green – Lupicia
This is the first apple tea I tried (that wasn’t of the super-sweetened Turkish variety) that I really enjoyed. To my nose, there is nothing artificial about the scent of the leaves – this is exactly what it smells like when you’re in your autumn kitchen, peeling harvested apples for jams and chutneys. Long, fragrant …
Apple & Berry – Lupicia
I’m generally a big fan of Lupicia’s fruity/floral green teas, but this isn’t one of their best. It does smell very good in the bag, although it’s more of a generic, slightly chemical fruit aroma. Thankfully, the chemical note does not in any way carry through into the brewed tea – I’ve never come across …
Ginger Lemon Green Tea – Kusmi Tea
I’m used to drinking this one bagged – I got a mixed set of Kusmi tea bags from my friend E., and this was the one that really did it for me. When the airport lounge I spend most of my transfer time at started stocking it, too, it somehow turned into one of my …
