Vanille Lemongras / Vanilla Lemongrass

This one smelled good but the combination of vanilla and herbal lemongrass is coming off a bit waxy and artificial for me. I think it is exactly what it purports to be but this is just not a flavor I want. Thank you Roswell Strange for sharing though since its always fun to try something new.

Sipdown! 112/365!

Another fun sample from Roswell Strange – thanks!

This one was another I was looking forward to – vanilla lemongrass sounds yummy! And I happened to like DT’s Vanilla Swirl. Unfortunately, things were not in my favour with this tea, as I brewed it up at an awkward time and only barely got to taste it before it got forgotten, and when I returned to it, it had a funky aroma and got dumped. However, what I did taste (and smell) was not bad. Definitely vanilla, some lemon, but a large dose of rooibos which not only tasted fairly woody, it also left little woody pieces of residue all over my house (or so it feels) – a bunch clearly escaped the teabag and found their way everywhere.

Anyhow. Not a bad tea; I would drink it again, though I wasn’t overly keen on the rooibos.

This one is from a European tea company, but I don’t really have much background on the company outside of the fact that they’re based in Germany and this collection/line up of tea sachets from them have both English and German language on them…

Still, I’m always down for trying a new company!

This tea was underwhelming for me, though to be fair I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to love it anyway based on the fact it’s a lemongrass dominant blend. It’s nothing if not accurate to the name though: basically a sweet vanilla and lemongrass fusion. A touch artificial tasting, though. It reminded me HEAVILY of Vanilla Swirl, from DAVIDsTEA – and I had a very love/hate relationship with that tea.

Not the best of worst introduction to this company, I suppose. I’m excited to further explore their offerings, though.
