This is a more traditional black tea, full with the astringent tannins of irish breakfast and a touch of cloves and ginger from oriental spice. To mellow out these bold blacks, a hefty dose of green rooibos is in the mix, adding a bright, honey-like flavor in the aftertaste of each sip, and a bit of crispy dry grassiness in the whole. Apples pieces smell slightly sweet in the bag but drop off in the brewing. A more traditional tasting tea for fans of irish breakfast

One of my favorite Mega64 moments, and now one of my favorite blends across the board. First taste emphasizes the dry-leaf flavor of the yerba mate, but it pairs well with the toasted green hojicha. The splash of peppermint that lingers in your mouth and the high caffeine in the mate really wake me up and help me focus. There’s candy cane pieces mixed in as well (shake the bag if they fell to the bottom) and they add just a touch of sweet vanilla-mint in the aftertaste. A great alternative for a powerful morning tea, or a perfect afternoon tea with some punch. One of my favorites!!

I had originally planned this blend to use white chai, until I discovered it wasn’t listed for blends. So the green chai was added instead, along with some pineapple, coconut, and lemon accents. I’m pleased with the results, a blast of lemon and green, tempered with the cinnamon and spices in the chai and the warm zing of ginger in the ginseng. UPDATE: Garrett himself highlighted a great pro-tip with these fruity teas, feel free to fish out the pineapple pieces for mid-brew snack!

The almond oolong takes the lead in this blend, with forward flavors of earthy oolong tea and marzipan almond. The honeybush vanilla is also present, adding a slightly floral sweet nuttiness that goes well with the almond. The caramel black tea is hard to pick out in this blend, but the tell-tale smooth mouthfeel of drinking this tea tells me it is there. Smooth, nutty, and generally sweet, I like how this blend turned out.

A little fruity from the cherry black tea, smooth starchiness with vanilla oolong, and some warmth from the ginger black. A smattering of cloves, coconut, and lemon add little twists of spice, butter, and tartness. This blend is intended to be reminiscent of Dr. Pepper, and though the soda is very different from this tea, this blend is both balanced and a little unusual. I’m pleased with the results.

This tea tastes like an orange cream-sicle, which I am okay with. A good percentage of it is honeybush, so it’s a nice afternoon tea or for a morning when a lower caffeine tea will do the trick. This blend is cirtus-y, softened with some mellow cream, and balanced with a little spicy black tea flavor from the mambo. One of my favorite blends.

As I intended, this blend talks a big bold game, but still has some gentleness. It’s a definite black tea blend but made more mellow with some caramel notes in tiger’s eye and the complicated wet foliage and cinnamon flavors of pu erh spice. A pop of pink hibiscus adds just a little sour bite to the overall blend. Dark tannins and tough swagger. Make it your next street meal!

I’m pretty excited to take advantage of David’s Tea summer $1 refills, though I hope there is more variety than two flavors. Today I tried the second flavor, Main Squeeze. (Made in store by David’s Tea professionals) it was a medium yellow/green when brewed, and had strong forward flavors of tropical fruits and pineapple. There is definitely a slight sour flavor or bitterness to the tea, though to be fair I take my tea without any sugar or honey. An earthy, almost hay-like tone underneath all the exciting fruit must come from the mate. It is a different hay-grass-like flavor than green tea, more earthy and musky than grassy greens. It’s definitely a minimal flavor (I’m nit-picking) but it was noticeable when trying back-to-back with something like David’s Tea mango flavors. I was glad for the high-caffeine in iced tea form, so thank you, mate! Overall this flavor is in the middle for me. It wasn’t mineral or heavy enough to satisfy my preferences for black teas with tannins and it wasn’t quite juicy or fruity enough to be a kick-ass herbal. Some fruit, some earth, and some caffeine. Not a bad $1 tea refill this summer, but I am still hoping they change them out to something new in July.
