We are proud to announce that 1450 – Organic Mountain Tea achieved an outstanding distinction at the Great Taste Awards 2024, receiving two gold stars, a recognition reserved for products of exceptional quality and flavour.
The Great Taste Awards International Culinary Competition are internationally respected for their strict judging process, with hundreds of experienced judges carrying out blind tastings of thousands of products from around the world.
The judges said:
”The flowers are beautiful – they look freshly picked. Very clever. The tea has a very pretty green-gold colour and a beautiful clean herbal aroma. We are hugely impressed with the clean fresh flavour of this tea, which just sings of the mountain pastures. So often mountain tea is mixed with other ingredients – what a pleasure to have such fresh flowers and leaves infused simply and with such clarity.
This has a wonderful glowing yellow colour. There is a distinct flavour of the Sideritis, which is both woody and scented. There is a clean finish, but we find the flavour rather short-lived.
This lovely golden sunshine yellow infusion is clean and bright. The aroma is quite herby, with some floral notes and earthy tones, and the mouthfeel is incredibly soft and comforting.The flavour reflects the aroma … subtle and reserved, but balanced and delightful.
With its very neat and fresh looking blossoms, the infusion has a comforting aroma and makes a bright and clear-looking tea when brewed. There is a lovely fresh, floral and vegetal tone to the flavour – very well balanced. Moreish and clean, it is a lovely tea.”
