This smells like almost rancid coconut even though the bag is only a few months old. Luckily I couldn’t taste the coconut, but I also didn’t taste much of anything delicious either. It’s basically just kind of metallic black tea. I added milk, and that vastly improved things. It actually does remind me of a float! The quality of the black tea is sort of like soda, and the coconut and vanilla give the milk an ice cream vibe. This could be done better, but it’s not bad! I’ve been drinking it as a work tea, and I’ve ended up really enjoying it cold each time! It’s weird, but I’ve grown to like it.

TTB sample! This was pretty refreshing cold! I taste a bit of lavender or something like that. It’s sweet and nice, though not super special.

I got this 4 oz bag from an eccentric tea shop owner in San Francisco in March. We got to learn about and sample all sorts of teas, and this was our favorite. I’ve learned since then that puerh is too caffeinated for me, so though I find this delicious, even the resteep makes me feel bad. The flavor is quite smooth, and it tastes like you’re drinking high quality hot chocolate. I always add plenty of milk and sugar, though when we tried it in the shop, it was still super good plain. It’s nice hot and even better cold. The only ingredients are puerh and cocoa nibs, but that’s all it needs!

I definitely taste the lemon meringue! It’s not tart, just desserty like a lemon cake. I get the pillowy feeling of the meringue as well. This one is accurately named! I like it cold, and the cold resteep is nice as well. I’m a fan of all the lemongrass here!

I wouldn’t call this a chai. I taste the anise most strongly. I also taste clove. When it was hot, I tasted almost nothing at all. I thought a longer steep would do better, but the second time was the same.

I love the lemongrass flavor here. There’s a lot of soft fruitiness. It also tastes quite candylike. The 2 oz bag disappeared super quickly. I’d order this again! As usual, I removed the marshmallows.

Teabag saved from a TTB. I don’t taste coconut, but I taste something desserty that’s adjacent to macadamia. I liked this better with milk and sugar. The rooibos base is a good choice for this dessert tea!

This smelled like apple oatmeal while it steeped. I’m drinking it cold, and I’m happy to say it’s super good! The flavor is so juicy and fresh. It’s not tart, just smooth. I only bought the half ounce size, but I’ll have to get more next time. It’s my favorite tea I’ve tried from Savoy so far! The second time I had it, it was super appley, and I love the green rooibos base.

This tastes like every other boring, lazy fruit tisane. When I ordered a bunch from Teavivre, they all tasted like this. It’s just nondescript, bordering on stale fruit sort of muddled together. It’s mostly tart red fruit. It’s not that it tastes bad, it’s just boring.

This base is a combination of green tea and green rooibos, which go together really smoothly. The flavor isn’t as special as I had hoped. It’s just a sort of fake red fruit sort of vibe. It’s not tart, but kind of candylike. It’s refreshing cold, but pretty one-note.
