drank Butter Pecan Ice Cream by 52teas

This seemed a bit thin during my first cup, but perhaps it was underleafed. I definitely taste nuts, but below that, it’s sort of empty. I’m not reminded of ice cream despite drinking this sweetened with milk. Once I let this cool down all the way and added some vanilla almond milk, it finally tasted more richly nutty like I’d been hoping for. The second time I had this, it didn’t make a huge impression. I just tasted some nuts and the black base, but I was really looking for that ice cream flavor.

As it sits, a more complex flavor comes forward. It was fruity, but also a bit spiced and interesting. The resteep might have tasted even stronger than the first. I wish I’d gotten a bigger bag of this! I’ve really been enjoying it cold.

This smells so gingery! I’m a fan of gingernut biscuits, so I was looking forward to this blend. The ginger definitely comes through strongly in the steeped tea. With milk and sugar, it really does taste like gingernut biscuits! The ginger lingers for a little while, though it could have been a bit spicier. So as usual, I wish for a bit more flavoring, but this is really quite decent!

drank Banana Peach Green by 52teas

This isn’t my favorite fruity green tea from 52teas, but it’s not bad! I taste more banana for sure. It adds a bit of a starchy quality to the tea. It’s all quite fresh!

This tastes like Forever Nuts and all the other similar blends. It’s desserty and nutty with some milk, but not too special. I’d definitely drink it again, but I wouldn’t need to buy it since other identical blends seem to just show up at my house!

drank Citrus Spice Cake by 52teas

The strongest flavor is the mild spice. Below that, I taste an interesting orange flavor, like the kind you’d find in an orange icing. I also taste a marshmallow or vanilla type flavor. It all is really nice together. The second time I had this, it tasted a bit more like generic winter spices. Still tasty, just not special.

drank Aphrodisiac Blend by True Treats

Since this is on an herbal base (just herbs, not even rooibos) it’s a bit less hearty/bold than I prefer in a chai. However, the cardamom is still strong enough that I’m having a good time. And it’s different from other herbal chais I’ve had before. I wouldn’t seek it out, but it’s tasty with sugar and almond milk. The resteep is nice as well, though a little more herbaceous.

drank Dark Chocolate by Teeccino

This tea had more bitterness than I would prefer. The flavor profile also ended up a little simple for me. I wouldn’t choose this one again, which is fine since Teeccino has so many flavors that are repeat buys for me!

drank Strawberry Patch by Java Momma

TTB sample! This black tea is quite hearty. Below that, I taste a fake sort of fruity flavor. I could see it being a candylike strawberry. It’s not fresh like the name implies. It’s just a straightforward fruity black tea.

This is a pretty good EG creme. The creaminess is lovely, and the bergamot is present at a nice level. I enjoy most of PD’s EGs, and this is no exception. It’s best at room temperature with milk and sugar.

Bio

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
