Additional notes: The tea has one of the most amazing colours I have seen. It appears calming and relaxing. Also, the taste was amazing and as I have tried a few Ahmed Tea London teas, it seems to me a stereotype that this manufacturer is a master of brewing fruit and herbal teas.

Package 5/5: It is unclear whether the manufacturer has used processed paper or foil as a sachet for tea bags. The image on the sachet is very beautiful and attractive, with sliced mango and lychee on it.

Manufacturer: Ahmed Tea Ltd/London

Additional notes: I could not learn much about this tea as the tea bag was donated for the Tea House collection.

The Peppermint aroma was so powerful that it heavily overlapped lemon. 

When I opened the sachet I could smell a strong peppermint aroma. It was very fresh and zesty.

After tasting this tea I concluded that it would be a great tea to start a new day. It can really awaken. I tried to find the flavour of lemon, but it was not there. I assume it was because of the strong presence of peppermint.

Additional notes: It seems a very interesting combination involving Lychee. It is the first time to see this fruit used as an ingredient. Also, it is not my favourite fruit to eat.

I could taste touches of green tea, mango and lychee. In my opinion it is a wonderful tea. It is calming and relaxing. Mango and lychee are wonderful partners in this brew.
