Taste 4/5: Sweet and gentle

Aroma 5/5:  Cinnamon

Colour 4/5: Dark amber

Taste 4/5: Spiced, tender cinnamon, bitter, leaving dryness in the aftertaste.

Ingredients: Whole leave tea blended with bay leaves, traditional spices cardamon, cinnamon, clove, ginger.  Best served with milk.

Serving: 5/5

Additional notes: The flavour was wonderfully balanced.

I did not add the provided sugar while drinking tea without milk.

 If we look from the critical side, I would not add so many ingredients, but i would stick with a maximum of 3, to give space for all of them to be noticed.

It is black tea.

Tested: 20/10/24

Aroma 4/5:  Mildly sweet, pleasant, earthy, soothing and calming.

Colour 4/5: White without sediment, with floating pink rose petals and yellow chrysanthemum flowers

Taste 4/5: Mildly sweet, with tender earthy notes in the aftertaste, light and pleasant.

Ingredients: Pink rose petals and yellow chrysanthemum flowers.

Serving: 4/5

Tea type: Herbal/loose

Additional notes: Tea colour was very clear, almost without colour, mildly golden.

I loved the big glass tea jar. It was beautifully represented; however, I would pick better-looking cups. The brew was served warm, not hot.

Also, I would make this tea stronger to feel the flavours more vividly. The aroma was too weak as well.

I assume it was a 1 L tea jar mug.

Overall, I loved this tea.

Tested: 25/12/25

Aroma 3/5:  Bitter

Colour 4/5: Bright amber

Taste 3/5: Gentle bitter at the beginning, but as we reached the bottom of the teapot, it turned very bitter and face-pinching drink.

 Ingredients: It is loose-leaf green tea. 

Serving: 5/5

Additional notes: It was a traditional green tea. Phrase Trà Khô translated from Vietnamese language to English means - dry tea. Based on the Vietnamese canteen description on the menu, it was described as Vietnamese dried tea.

 I enjoyed the untraditionally small teapots, or cups. They looked very appealing.
