TTB 2025. I’ve gotten on my soapbox about this company before, so I’ll spare y’all the screed this time. Suffice to say, I find their framing extremely pretentious and disrespectful to the history and tradition of tea as well as other companies that have been innovating in the fun-flavored-tea realm long before August was even an idea. I’ve had some good blends from them, so I’m not opposed to trying one that’s new-to-me, but I have no interest in giving them my money or space in my cupboard.
That said, this blend is pretty tasty! The strawberry note hits first, followed quickly by an apple-y chamomile. Some gentle tartness at the end of the sip. I don’t know what kind of bubblegum they’re chewing, but I’m not getting anything bubblegum-like. I also can’t really pick out anything about the base green tea here. A very easy drinker.

I also find their marketing to be a bit much, but also I think there are only 2 or 3 teas that I’ve ever liked enough to reorder from them, and plenty that I’ve really disliked ha ha.
There seem to be a lot of newer companies now that actively try to distance themselves from existing tea norms because they want to attract young and hip people by “reinventing” tea. Not necessarily a bad thing if it gets more people into tea, but they never fail to elicit an eyeroll from me… :P
