REVIEW: Pukka teas

I received some Pukka teas and I liked them a lot.

This is what I got:

All of these teas share a sweetish taste, especially the “Love”, “Detox”, “Night time” and “After Dinner” ones. They all leave on the back of the tongue this sweet taste, which dominates all the other inflexions.

“Three chamomile” is very nice, feels “healthy”. It tastes as if a nice forest lady gave you a cup of tea and you drank it in her cottage… right before she would murder you and mix your blood for witchcraft purposes. Joking 😀

The only Pukka tea I didn’t like was the turmeric one. But I don’t think it is Pukka’s fault. I just don’t like turmeric.

I also don’t really understand where the “sweetish” taste comes from… I’ve read the ingredients and none of these teas has added sugar or some kind of other sweetener. For instance, the “Night time”, which I like A LOT, and is indeed sweet, says that “t’s a combination of a sleepy crush of oat flower, soothing lavender, and silky-sweet limeflower together with the magic of valerian”. So, supposedly, the sweet taste comes from the limeflower, but I do have generic limeflower tea and it isn’t sweet…

I also noticed that all teas from England tend to be sweet. I really don’t know what the English put in their teas, they do taste awesome, but I am a little bit worried. Maybe I’m just paranoic… (P.S. This is because I don’t like to consume sugar).

Anyhow, I do recommend Pukka teas, I really liked them. They are a little bit different than other teas, they feel more “healthy” and sweet, they have a more rustic taste.
