drank Rooibos Peach by Adagio Teas
2723 tasting notes

Reading multiple positive reviews, it makes me feel like the crazy one, but this tea has a much too strong chemical ater taste for my liking. What I did was mix it together with a tin of plain red rooibos I had, and together, they taste very nice. I like the peach flavor; it just needs more rooibos to overpower the chemicals.

I’ve actually had several teas lately where the artificial flavoring had a “metallic” sort of aftertaste to me (from Adagio and others) so I think I know exactly what you are talking about when you say it tastes chemical. I’m wondering if there is a certain brand of flavorings that my palate is sensitive to, and they are getting used way too strongly…

That must be it! I really enjoy most flavored teas, but occasionally there’s one that’s just strange. Glad I’m not alone in this!

drank Maple Syrup Oolong by DAVIDsTEA

This kind of tastes like caramel popcorn. Not really getting the maple. Yeah, this is the kind of tea I enjoy trying a sample of but would be fine with never having again. I prefer Oh Canada, which actually tastes like Maple and is pleasant enough to have frequently. But I guess I could leave a separate review about that.

drank Golden Honey Dew by Lupicia

This has a light melon/vegetal taste. It’s actually better with less sugar than I usually put in. It’s so hard to assign a number value to this one since I only had a sample (kindly provided by Cameron B). This is definitely one to try. Different from other melon teas I’ve had. Probably more accurate to actual melons than to what melon flavored candies etc usually taste like.

drank Happy Kombucha by DAVIDsTEA

Hot, I could taste the oololong and the pleasant light flavoring along with chemicals. However, once it started to cool, a chemical flavor took over so strongly that I had to throw the rest of the mug out, which is something I never do.

drank Caramel Pop by T2

Tastes like popcorn, that’s for sure! I don’t notice any caramel though. And the taste of the tea comes through too. I don’t see myself buying it, but I enjoyed the sample from Cameron B. I’ve had a different caramel corn tea that I prefer, but I don’t remember where it’s from…

drank Ice Cream Cake by DAVIDsTEA

I really don’t know what I think of this tea. It’s sweet, and you can tell what it’s going for, but you can also taste some underlying chemicals. A little cakey and chocolatey. With all the dessert teas out there, I wouldn’t pick this one again. I’ll add some milk next time and see if that helps. Again, not bad; there are just so many better choices.

drank Red Velvet Herbal Tea by Stash Tea
2723 tasting notes

One of my favorite treats with milk and sugar. Definitely tastes like chocolate mixed with something a little tangy and red. If I tasted it without knowing, I don’t think I’d call it red velvet, maybe more like a chocolate berry? I really enjoy this though.

drank Glazed Lemon Loaf by Tazo

I have absolutely blazed through my two boxes of this. Sadly no stores near me carry the Tazo dessert flavors, so when I’m on vacation, I have to check the local Target! It’s so sweet and lemony. It really is exactly as advertised. I use two bags for my ~18 oz mug and add lots of sugar.

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
