Tried a tiny bit of this from the tea box. I don’t normally drink straight tea, so my review for this is pretty meaningless. I did a short steep, so it wasn’t at all bitter. With a little sugar, it was pretty smooth and tasty. Tastes similar to other black teas I’ve had. Other than that, I can’t speak to its quality.

My only sample from the tea box for today! Now this is rooibos done right! One bag brewed a flavorful cup of tea. The rooibos flavor is pleasant and not at all woody or weird. There’s also a bit of vanilla. I like this one a lot! It’s very sweet and refreshing with some sugar.

Sorry for so many posts these past few days. I’m trying to get through the tea box teas so I can ship it out soon. Anyway, I don’t usually go for chocolate mint teas, but it’s there, so why not?! The main flavor is mint, with the chocolate being pretty subdued. The mint flavor tastes a bit like alcohol, like from mint extract. It manages to be a lot less artificial than the Adagio version of this though. So a bit bitter, but pleasant enough!

Herbal tea from the tea box! Unfortunately, this is too savory for me. It’s just a really strange combo of herbs. I bought a few things from the American Tea Room going out of business sale, and I didn’t like any of them. Something about their blends just doesn’t work for me! The main flavors are fennel, sour, and mint.

What a fun blend from the tea box! I don’t like coffee, so I was hesitant to try this, but when I saw the little caramel pieces in there, I had to! So it tastes kind of like coffee and kind of like a caramel tea. Whatever they’re using to get the coffee flavor is a little unpleasant to my tastes, but I could see a coffee lover enjoying this one a lot! I added sugar and milk.

Green rooibos from the tea box! This tastes similar to other fruity green rooibos blends I’ve had from Adagio. It’s weird that this is supposed to be almond because I definitely taste fruit and not nuts. Hot, the flavor is more grassy, but as it cools, the sweet fruity flavor comes out, and it’s super nice. I drank it during a workout and felt extremely refreshed!

Another blend from the tea box! The flavor for this definitely gets better as it cools, and it’s best of all with sugar and milk. I like mixes of black and green tea since just black teas can sometimes be too strong for me. This tea has a pleasant almond flavor that’s not overwhelming. It’s really nice! But with how much sugar and milk I put in this one, any tea would taste nice…it was just a little bitter at first, so I decided to help it out.

My sister got this blend for Christmas, and I just had to try it. It may be exactly the same, or at least very close to, the Angry Tea Room pumpkin pie rooibos I have. The appearance, flavor, and ingredients seem the same. So I’ll say basically the same thing I said for the other one. It’s a really awesome pumpkin spice tea. Add milk and sugar for the full effect. Clear and delicious spices. You can easily make a second brew with the same leaves. This one is a real hit.

Another one from the tea box! Not since my early days of loose tea have I really sought out chocolate teas, but if one comes my way, I’ll give it a try. With sugar and milk, this makes quite a nice treat. The chocolate is very present, and you can really taste the rooibos as well. It’s silly, but I still prefer the Stash chocolate teas over most loose ones I’ve tried. But this is definitely good for what it is!

Always fun to come across some Teavana out in the wild! This one is from the tea box. It’s pretty strongly perfumey both in scent and taste. The pear flavor is definitely there, but the flowery flavor is a little too strong for me. It’s kind of like squirting perfume in your mouth. It’s so strong. I don’t think I can finish this.
