Nice mint flavor with a bit of creaminess. They could get away with amping up the creaminess even more, but the flavor was pretty good. Some murkiness appears as it sits. Overall, a solid bagged choice from the tea box. I grabbed a few bags and finished them all in no time.

This tastes about how you’d expect. It’s low quality black tea, but the mango does taste pretty juicy and authentic. You get some orange too. I sort of like it, but I only tried it because it was in the tea box.

This one smelled great, but the flavor was a little tart and strange for me. I added some oat milk, which added a creamy element that it was definitely missing. I personally prefer a lighter, fresher orange flavor. This one was heavy, tangy, candy-like, and artificial. I’ve had it several times now, and I’m just not a fan. Maybe the rooibos base and flavoring don’t get along well. I’m not sure, but there’s something weird happening here.

I usually don’t love mate, but actually, here it totally works. I get some toastiness and some nice fruitiness. I can’t really identify which fruits, but it all combines together pretty well. I would have never purchased this, but I’m glad I got it as my free sample.

Grabbed a bag from a tea box. This isn’t one of the tastier vanilla honeybush blends I’ve tried. As usual, you get a bit of pepper. The honeybush isn’t weak at all, which was nice, but it also wasn’t the best flavor. I didn’t taste any vanilla. All the reviews seem to agree about this one.

I’ve been craving maple, and this didn’t quite hit the spot, but it’s a decent cup of tea. It reminds me of the flavor used in Adagio’s maple creme oolong, which always hit me as more smoky/woody than maple. I get a bit of earthy ginger as well, which goes well with that woodiness. It tastes nice enough with some milk, but it’s far from a favorite.

Bleh, this one is like 50% rose petals, so I’ve been procrastinating trying it, but it’s the last sample from the advent calendar, so I guess it’s finally time! I definitely taste the sour rose petal flavor, but it sort of works here since blackberries are a little sour. I added some milk, and the main flavor I taste is blackberry, which is decently pleasant. The black tea that’s used as the base is fairly complementary. It sort of reminds me of Harney’s black currant tea. I’m not really a fan, but I don’t hate it as much as I expected.

I thought I’d tried this one before, but I guess not. Grabbed a sample from the tea box, and I’m glad I did! This is a pretty great breakfast tea! It’s less bold than some, but it makes up for it with a nice biscuit/graham cracker taste. As it cooled, I noticed something more fruity/grapey which I didn’t love as much, but I think I’m still a fan.

Grabbed this sample from a past tea box. I’d prefer more spice here. The base tea is pretty strong. There’s a bit of pepper. Maybe there’s a little of a different spice. It’s pretty boring, though.

Really nice, zingy lemon flavor. It’s like having a lemon bar or something. Really quite lovely with some sugar. I don’t notice the black tea behind it.
