424 Tasting Notes
I actually finished all I had of this. I went to order more and send some to my daughter (who loves spearmint) and the Nina’s US site was flipping gone! I sent Laurent a message on Facebook and no response. Oh well. So this brings my cupboard number down to half a billion or so. The cupboard here is woefully outdated and the thought of doing inventory gives me hives.
Oh no! I hope they are still a thing because they used to be my tea stop when I was in Florida. I recall a while back getting a notification on fb that they changed their name so maybe they are just operating under a different company name?
It doesn’t look like they have a site for their new name (La Courtisane) but it looks like you can still order off Amazon? At least that’s what I noticed a few weeks ago.
I think AQ2T does maple really well (as in Syrupy Pumpkin Pancakes OMG), so I had to order this one. It’s a giant snuggie of yum. Super flavorful, maple and pumpkin. I don’t always like chai and I don’t really know why, but I am loving this one.
I had this again last night. 16 oz of it after 7:00, which means I was up all night peeing but it was so worth it!
Om nom nom. This is yummy. Caramel/brown sugar over light peach notes. I hope this sticks around.
You’re making a peach tea sound so appealing. And I’m normally not crazy over them. You’re good!
I really like this one too, actually! My goal was to make a peach tea I liked because I typically can’t stand that candy/gummy peach flavor. But the really rich caramel notes temper this so well, I think. :) Glad you like it!
I’ll have to check this out. I’ve always wanted to find a peach tea I could actually enjoy. I love real peaches and I actually like the peach flavor in candy, but for some reason I can’t stand it in tea.

This is totally on me. I should have known not to buy a tea with the word “smoky” in the name. The sweet potato got me though, and I ordered it. To be fair it’s not very smoky but I still taste it and it just isn’t my thing. The rest of this is going in Stephanie’s box. Someone else will be able to appreciate this more.
I feel the opposite about this tea! The smoky catches my attention, but the sweet potato scares me away
I think I have emotional cooties about smoke, my ex was a smoker.
Hahaha I feel exactly the same as Emilie does re this tea!
I’m the exact same when it comes to smoky notes. The slightest hint ruins it for me.
I hope this isn’t a temporary tea. I might have to cry.
Well this is delicious. I don’t always like cheesecake flavors in tea but this one is rocking my world right now. The chocolate isn’t slapping me in the face – which is a good thing. I just got a nice blended pumpkin cheesecake flavor with a hint of chocolate yum. I think I might be a fangirl.
WayGood Tea is a new company to me, and when given the chance, I was happy to review this tea for them. They are based in Seattle and the focus of the company is promoting wellness through healthy tea. The product line consists of four blends; one contains camellia sinensis and the other three are tisanes. I was allowed to choose which one I wanted to review, and since I quite like both Earl Grey and lavender, this one was a no-brainer for me.
