This is supposed to taste like fruit and bergamot, but I have to say that it’s quite ambiguous. I brewed it for less time than recommended (5 minutes is crazy) but still ended up with a little bit of harshness, which I smoothed out with some milk. So this tastes like a flavored black tea, but I would have no idea what flavor it’s supposed to be. It’s too bad because I used to mix my own blueberry EG, which I loved.

The base tea is a bit too floral for my tastes generally, but I kind of do like this tea as a whole. I didn’t love it room temperature, but after a few hours in the fridge, the flavors start to pop. The champagne flavoring comes through pretty clearly. It somehow almost gives you that bubbly sensation. I also get a bit of lemon, but not too much cranberry. Next time I make this, I think I’ll let the cranberries stay in the mug to try to bring out more of their flavors. I’m glad I gave this tea some attention instead of just dismissing it as not to my tastes – I think I like it! I cold brewed the second steep, which was quite pleasant as well, though still no cranberry.

I remember not enjoying my first cup of this, but I forgot to take notes, so here I go trying it again, this time as a cold brew. It’s very sour and off-putting. Rooibos fruit blends so often end up being weird like this. These flavors just don’t work together. There’s no hint of cheesecake. I only taste gross, artificial berry. I don’t want another cup.

I’ve been meaning to try this tea for a while, and it finally made it into my cart in my last order. The flavor is quite mild and coconuty. The liquid ends up a bit oily and leaves a lot of residue in the mug. There’s a little bit of fruitiness as well, but if you want a cup of mostly coconut, this could be the tea (there are better options though). I wouldn’t get it again myself, but I’m glad I tried it.

I grabbed a sample of this from a tea box. It smelled quite old and sketchy, but I decided to give it a try anyway. Nope, it just tastes like straight up alcohol. I have a real aversion to alcohol and don’t drink at all, so I had to pour this one straight into the sink. It was extremely unpleasant, which is a shame because the ingredients sound nice. I’d give it a chance fresh one day, but age did it no favors.

Thanks to tea-sipper for sharing! This is a nice black tea! It’s pretty malty. It was good before I added milk, but is even better with milk. I don’t often drink plain teas, but this is one that’s worth the time. My mouth didn’t miss fun flavorings at all.

This is a pretty decent chai. The main flavor is ginger. It’s not spicy, but the flavors are nice. It’s not super special, but it’s a quality chai. I enjoyed it without milk, but I liked it a little more with.

I’m happy to finally try this tea! It smelled just right in the bag, though in the cup, it smelled bitter – luckily it didn’t taste bitter! The flavor is lighter than I wanted it to be. Mostly black tea with a bit of butterscotch flavor. It tastes good with milk, but I really pictured something stronger. Really, I did quite enjoy it, but it should have been more decadent. The second steep was almost as flavorful as the first.

I don’t really taste maple, but there’s a sweet, pleasant nuttiness to this blend. The main flavor is the rooibos, which isn’t the tastiest rooibos. I wish there were more of a cookie flavor here. I had the resteep with milk, and it was tasty and desserty. It reminds me a little of Simpson & Vail’s chestnut rooibos. Not quite as good, but nice nuttiness.

I’ve seen lots of brands with unicorn sprinkles in their teas recently, what a random trend. The flavor here is weirdly, artificially sweet. I love fake sugar, but there’s something strange about this one. I really only taste that overwhelming sweetness and maybe a soft fake fruitiness. It’s not gross, but not very appealing either. But maybe this is what unicorns taste like.
