Mmmmmmm pancakey goodness. I don’t know why I waited so long to order this one. I guess I was just not worried since it was a permanent blend so I just kept glossing over it when I went to the site. Man that was stupid! I love this tea. I knew I would love it after I had the gooey butter cake black tea. Frank does the buttery/pastry like flavor the best! I wish this had a little more maple but otherwise it is delicious. Yum sipdown!

Sipdown! But trying to savor it since this is my last cup of this so sad….must order more soon. I love having a lemon flavored tea in the morning espcially one with a good amount of caffiene :-)

drank Caramel Apple Oolong by 52teas
106 tasting notes

Oh caramel appley goodness. I love this oolong. I love it more now since I tried it once when I first got it but the flavors didn’t come together very well. So I put it aside so the flavors had a chance to blend more with the tea. Now it is perfect! These flavors are awesome with this oolong. Yum! Sipdown for sure!

Frank’s blends are best served after a couple of weeks so they have time to really settle since he blends them weekly :)

Yeah I finally figured that out haha. But I do appreciate the small batch style of making blends. :-)

Thanks for the sample of this one Stacy! Oh man this is so amazing! I have noticed any time Stacy does a “creamy” tea it is always so good. These flavors work really well together. The pineapple is sweet but not cloying at all. The cilantro adds the perfect herbal flavor to the mix. The Bai Mu Dan base is delicious as well. This is just perfection! I love it! Defenitely ordering a couple ounces of this soon.

drank Chocolate Chai by Adagio Teas

This is an ok chai. It needs more of everything actually. The flavor is quite muted to me. I like my chai a little more robust than this. Glad I had only ordered a sample and not a full order of it.

Tried this yesterday but did not have a chance to review until now. I love jasmine green tea. This is a really good one. It is a very smooth green tea and the jasmine was very subtle not too flowery as some jasmine teas can get. I actually liked the second steep better then the first. The flavors came through stronger for me the second time around. Definite yum. Thanks Yssah! :-)

Thanks Yssah for this one. I’m agreeing with the other people that recently got teas from the huge liquidation sale from Ovation. I feel like this needs to sit awhile so the flavors can really get into the tea since right now all I am really tasting is the assam and a hint of fig. The assam is good but I just want more fig and I am not getting much from it right now. Think I will give it a week or two and try it again.

drank Creamy Eggnog by Butiki Teas

Oh man this is so yummy. Thanks for this sample Stacy! I love creamy teas and this one is really good. Can’t really say anything new on top of all the other reviews. The base tea is perfect for this flavoring and I definitely wish I had more so I could try adding some nutmeg to it. Oh well I’ll just have to order a full amount. This time sadly was only a sample of this deliciousness….

Yum! I love blueberry and cotton candy so I knew I would love this one. I just love how Frank has that cotton candy flavor down. This especially tastes delicious iced just like the cotton candy black tea. Really love this one! :-)

drank Winter Spice by Twinings
106 tasting notes

Had some of this last night. Its not too bad. I wish the apple cider flavor of it was a little stronger. It was a little weak for me. But it was tasty and helped me relax. Which is normally what I grab a chamomile tea for. For a bagged tea this one was definitely not the worst.
