Which 4 teas won awards at the Great Taste Awards?
English Breakfast
English Breakfast is known for its refreshing character and taste. It offers an infusion of a dark brown color. Due to its strong flavor, it is ideal for those who prefer black tea. The judges believe that it can be enjoyed both with milk and without it, as it retains its character even with additions.
Caramel Dream
The judges called this blend "a good combination of aroma and tea." In addition to the freshness and bright color of the infusion when brewed, Caramel Dream provides a perfect balance between the classic black tea flavor and caramel notes. The judges paid particular attention to these notes – specifically their wide spectrum, which includes toffee, cream, and vanilla flavors.
Uva Tea
Uva is one of our customers' favorite blends worldwide, from Russia, through the United States, to South Korea. The blend is characterized by a refreshing taste and a bright color of the infusion, to which you can add some milk – pure tea, or with an addition; it always tastes delicious.
The judges found Uva to be a pleasant tea of very good quality and fresh character. Furthermore, the blend was appreciated for its mildness, which gives it smoothness and full flavor.
Coconut Pineapple Cold Brew
Basilur's latest innovation, which took the market by storm in summer, was also awarded. This refreshing blend is ideal for cold brewing, and the competition judges appreciated it precisely for this aspect. When brewed, the tea acquires a bright red color in the cup. As for the taste, the combination of notes of juicy pineapple and creamy coconut provides a perfect balance between acidity and tartness. The blend's distinct aroma enhances the experience of drinking it. A great base for a non-alcoholic, summer punch – although a touch of rum would also be a wonderful addition!
