drank Apple Refresh by Ahmad Tea
136 tasting notes

To me, a nice blend of black tea and apple favoring.
Nice apple scent, pretty plain apple and tea, no cinnamon or other flavors that I notice.
It did steep dark pretty quick, so for my no milk no sugar drinking, I only needed 30 sec to get a nice strong brew. And multiple cups of tea per teabag.

Flavors: Apple

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 0 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Been a while since I’ve had this, but I remember really liking it.

drank English Tea No. 1 by Ahmad Tea
136 tasting notes

A good representative of the English tea type; A Bit tannic, strong if you steep it long, medium dark carmel color, good black tea “nose”.
As I don’t use milk or sugar, 30 sec is plenty of time to get a strong tea steep.

drank Detox by Ahmad Tea
136 tasting notes

Came as part of a sampler kit, I don’t usually do herbal / detox teas.
Mostly I taste the peppermint, and some more subtle other herbs, definitely no “real” tea in this.
It’s pleasant, light yellowish-brown color, maybe it’s doing me some herbal goodness, hard to know.
It is decaf, so good for late in the day drinking.

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 2 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

drank Green Tea Pure by Ahmad Tea
136 tasting notes

Im not a big green tea fan, but this is pretty good.
If you steep it long it can have a bitter edge (3 min).
Just steeping for my more normal 1 min, it’s pretty smooth and green.

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 1 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

drank Green Decaffeinated by Twinings

For me, had a heavy “fishy” flavor. Tasted very off to me.

Preparation

Decaff-ing green tea just ruins it. At least, I’ve never encountered a green decaf that didn’t taste wonky.

drank Cinnamon by Ahmad Tea

I really like the Harney & Sons cinnamon; this was a big letdown.
Not very cinnamony, vert plain, just a hint of cinnamon.

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 3 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

drank Lemon and Lime Twist by Ahmad Tea
136 tasting notes

A nice blend where you can taste all of the black tea + lemon + lime hints.
Not sour or astringent; if you like lemon tea, this is a subtle shift in the citrus flavor.
This is a strong base black tea, somewhat like a xxxx-breakfast tea, with longer steeping time would come thru milk and / or sugar OK if you like that.

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 1 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML
