Here are a few snippets from the judges:
Chamomile – 2 Stars
“Delicious fragrance of stepping into a wild meadow. Really beautiful bright yellow heads which remain whole after brewing. Drinking this was like a big hug – it was warm, clean, refreshing with a good chamomile flavour following through with delicious buttery vanilla tones which kept on giving. You really felt it was doing you good.”
“The dried flower heads give off their sweet, warm honeyed aroma when rubbed in the fingers – hay, summertime meadows and warm sunshine. A well balanced and rather delicious example of Chamomile tea.”
Kykeon™ (Modern) – 2 Stars
“A pale infusion, a delicate mint background – not dominant or bold. The initial mint starts to develop, fresh flavoured and vibrant. There is a sweetness, we feel this could be from the toasted oats which have caramelised – there is a delicious delicacy here. We went back for more and found a complexity which was very delicious – rounded and multi-dimensional. The finish leaves a fresh herbal flavour almost as if the bees had introduced the taste of the countryside, the land and the terroir.”
“Very roasty toasty on the nose once brewed, the oats doing well to stand up to the normally strident mint. This balance continues onto the flavour with the oats lending a creaminess to this refreshing brew. The mint, with its characteristic chill holds its own. Well crafted, the balance is clever.”
Kykeon™ (Traditional) – 1 Star
“This is a creamy tisane which gives a good mouth feel and is almost a filling tea. The honey coloured liquor looks rich and full bodied. The flavour is a vibrant mint flavour mixed with honey/mead. Distinctive and full bodied.”
