I tried this tea because I was looking to try lavender buttercream and they did not have any in store, so they recommended this tea.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this. It has a nice and light sweet taste, smells amazing and taste very refreshing and natural. I add in natural because the sweetness taste like it comes from the apple or other ingredients rather than just straight sugar or artificial sugar.

I can easily drink two cups of this in a sitting without getting tired of the flavor or feeling overwhelmed by this. I am excited to try this as a latte after reading some of the other reviews and notes about it. I am not a huge latte drinker but I do enjoy them as a treat sometimes.

I have always enjoyed green teas, and I have been trying different Matchas recently, so I was excited for this tea. Then I read through some of the ingredients and was a little worried because I am not a huge fan of ginger, and that is one of the core ingredients. I enjoyed the first few sips, then the ginger really hit me and it was overall just too strong for me. It had such a natural and green tea taste, a little bit of a matcha taste and well the ginger. I didn’t hate it I just don’t see it as something I would be enjoying too often.

I was having a “tea shopping day” for my birthday in downtown Manhattan. I had been wanting to stop by this shop for a while not just because of the interesting variety of tea blends, but because I enjoying cooking and can always use more spices.

This was the first one I picked for two reasons, I have recently become a fan of mate tea, I love chocolate and mint, and there is no added sugars or artificial flavors.
The smell alone is amazing. I let it steep for just over 5 minutes, because I prefer a stronger tea.
I was hooked after the first sip! The chocolate taste so real, not like an artificial chocolate or a milk chocolate, but a real chocolate. The mint flavor is definitely stronger than the chocolate (which is good because I can drink it without feeling too guilty about starting my day with a dessert flavored tea) but the chocolate is there in every sip.

Compared to other mate teas I have had, I can taste the mate natural flavor, but more as a complementing flavor, not an overwhelming flavor, and I do prefer this if I am having a flavored blend, if I wanted chocolate and mint without the tea flavor in there, I would have a cookie or piece of mint chocolate.

There is no bitterness, or overwhelming sweetness, making it easy to drink and enjoy.

The only reason I didn’t give this tea any higher is that there is caffeine, so I cannot enjoy as a late night treat or brewed into an ice cream (unless I eat the ice cream for lunch which I am not above doing).

I bought two more teas from them and cannot wait to try them, I will probably be doing that tonight because this tea was just so great.

Once brewed, this tea smells wonderful, very similar to a light caramel candy. I was not disappointed with the taste, but I do wish I could taste a little more of the caramel,
I really enjoyed the smoothness and the slight butter flavor I got as well.
Rooibos teas do tend to have a distinct taste and I could taste that a little more than I would like, similar to if it was overpowering the caramel taste a little.
I will be enjoying this tea for a while because while it is sweet, it is not so sweet I feel I cannot enjoy it.

Gingerbread is one of my favorite types of cookies, so I was excited for this tea. It smelled of the spices you get in a gingerbread cookie but not as sugary.
I can’t figure out if this taste like gingerbread or not. I can taste the spices, and it is not bitter but I do get that rooibos taste and that’s not a bad thing … but it is not really gingerbread.
That being said I really enjoyed it, but did not taste anything super unique about it. It is a nice blend, with good gingerbread type flavors just not as sugary and not as strong.

I tried this tea without reading anything about it except that it was a green tea. I could smell the coconut right away.
It reminded me of a tropical cocktail with light exotic flavors. I think the coconut was just too strong for my liking and to make this a tea I would enjoy very often. I still think it as a nice combination of flavors, and is very well balanced.

This was the first time I tried a really floral rose tea. The smell was a little overwhelming and strong for me with all the rose. The first few sips I couldn’t really decide what I thought, I could taste the rose and some honey and some other floral taste that I wasn’t familiar with.
Overall, I think I came to the conclusion that I enjoyed my cup, I wouldn’t be heartbroken if I never had a cup, but… I will probably keep some in the house because it is nice for before bed and something rather different than most of the teas I drink.

I do not know why I did not try this tea sooner, I got it a little over a month ago when I was back home in England.
I have always loved peppermint tea, and I have recently started trying Oolong teas. I very much enjoyed this blend, it has a lighter, softer and creamier than any peppermint tea I’ve had and while some may prefer that stronger peppermint flavor, I really enjoy the fullness yet lighter flavor this brings.

I think I almost like an oolong base for mint tea more than a green tea base. I am yet to try a milk oolong tea, so I will be excited to see how it compares with the creaminess that this tea has as well as that nice subtle flavor just without mint.

I was a little overwhelmed going into the T2 store for the first time, there was a lot of teas in a lot of boxes on all the walls, it looks great but just something to get used to.
I picked out this tea as well as a few other last month and I’ve tried it a couple of times. You can taste the black tea rather strongly, and has a nice chocolate, sugary undertone that I have become fond of.
My problem is that I cannot seem to always get the little caramel/toffee cubes when I take some out. I gently shake the tin, but I just think it could use more of them.

It is more of a flavored black tea than what I would consider a dessert tea. It is sweet but not a crazy amount and it still has that strong black tea flavor.

I should also note that the small 100g bags at T2 are not resealable so I ended up buying a tin for the tea, but I suppose you can always keep it in a plastic bag, and keep the plastic bag in the paper box that has the label on it.

I picked this up the last time I was in store because I had never really tried an apple spice blend before and it smelled wonderful.
I tried it as just a normal hot tea and was not let down. It had a very warm apple cider feel, but with more spices and a stronger flavor.
I had a thought while sipping my second cup that this tea may make a wonderful ice cream!
So last night I set off on a culinary of making a no churn tea infused ice cream. That I then got to enjoy tonight (and surprise my boyfriend with some topped with homemade apple pie filling). The ice cream came out wonderful, creamy and had that same flavor I was looking for! Tasted up like the tea, and I only used 2 teaspoons worth of tea for the whole thing. While it was a little work to make it was worth it and something I now want to do with many of my other teas.
