I’ve been road testing Aldi’s organic black tea because Choice declared it the best tea and I don’t know how it came to that conclusion. I’m not good at describing liquids but I’ll give it a go anyway.
There’s a distinct taste of floral. It wasn’t overly strong. Definite dry aftertaste on the palate. To me it lacked a base taste. Like if tea was 3D then this would be 2D. It tasted flat.
It would be good as a Billy tea because it had a bushy earthy taste. Bushells, Tetley, Twinings all taste better imo. Anyway it wasn’t bad, I’ll keep drinking it but I wouldn’t buy it again. 3.5 / 5 yum yums.

I’ve been finding that quite a bit with Aldi teas (Diplomat brand). It’s got front flavour notes, but no depth.
Problem can be solved by using two bags, but then you’re paying the same as a major brand.
It’s good to know it’s not just me.
I bought some more coffee from there. I remembered you said to pick one from South America. Choice of Peru and Honduras. I picked Peru.
Good choice. Peru, Honduras and Ecuador are all good. Brazil and Colombia are good, but not as good as the others.
McIvers is the go if you can find it. Tramtracker or Rosie Crow blends
