drank Dolomite by August Uncommon Tea

TTB tea! This tastes strongly of jasmine with undercurrents of honey, which is what it’s supposed to taste like, so they did a good job! I like having jasmine tea maybe twice a year, and this one seems like a good option to fulfill that craving. It tastes high quality, and I enjoy that there are other ingredients in there to keep it interesting. It was refreshing cold!

It’s my turn with the latest Reddit TTB! Hot, I really didn’t love this. I put it in the fridge, and actually, it was quite tasty with sugar and milk. The spices were strong and well-balanced, and the base was hearty enough to support the rest. I wouldn’t seek this out, but it was enjoyable!

This really tastes like apple cider! I taste the freshness of the apples without the sour acidity that is sometimes too much for me. It’s mildly spiced, but it’s super pleasant warm and hot. I’m already looking forward to my next cup! It’s the best take I’ve seen on this flavor profile in a while!

drank Canadian Maple by Lemon Lily
2602 tasting notes

I love when I can taste an authentic maple flavor in a tea, and here…I can’t really. It’s sort of generic and generally desserty. Nothing makes me think maple unfortunately! The rooibos base is pretty good, so it’s still fine to drink.

drank Maple Sugar PIe by Dessert by Deb

I’m drinking this sweetened with milk, and I taste a lot of the maple flavor! It’s desserty and comforting. It tastes better at room temperature. Maple is the only flavor I notice, but I love maple, so I’m happy.

drank Vanilla Chai by TEViVe

From a previous TTB. This was too mild. I tasted the tiniest hint of spice along with a pretty cardboardy black base. It was very weak and was accidentally super overpowered by the milk I added.

drank Candied Fig Rooibos by 52teas
2602 tasting notes

This one is really growing on me. I actually can see this flavor as being spiced fig! Rooibos is the perfect base for it. I like it at room temperature with sugar and milk.

The hibiscus should really be toned down (though if hibiscus is in the name, maybe that’s an unreasonable request). There’s not a lot of depth, mostly just the tart flatness with a bit of spice. It’s okay cold, but it does need a lot of sugar. My sister received this as a gift, and she was happy to have me help her use it up.

My goodness! With hobiscus, cranberries, and rose hips, I would expect a lip-puckering tartness! “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down, the medicine go down”!

drank Caramel Apple by DAVIDsTEA
2602 tasting notes

The best way to taste the flavors for this one is cold without milk. Then I can taste some caramel and some fruitiness, though both elements could definitely be bolder. The rooibos base is nice and smooth. This one is good, but not great.

My first cup of this was quite marshmallowy! I liked it sweetened with milk. The marshmallow comes out the best when it cools to room temperature. The next time I had this, I felt much more neutral toward it. The white tea came out a little more than I prefer, but it was okay – it’s just a little light on the flavoring for me.

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
