Uh… What on earth did I do wrong here to have this smell and taste like dog feet?

This wasn’t available for sale as a one-off in the London Twinings store, so when I saw a sampler pack with this (and a few other green fruit teas) on the shelf in Brussels, I grabbed it.

Interesting. Well, it needs sweetener, but then the orange pops like no one’ s business. I get the Lotus flower, sort of, although it’s more in the event than anything. Juicy, light, yay.

Picked this up from the “left behind” box in an Airbnb in France. I should’ve left it behind, too. Sure, there’s vanilla in there… And also cardboard and something odd. Only brewed one minute due to the other horrible reviews.

Uh, so the ingredient list on my box of tea has a lot more than spearmint with flavoring in it. In fact, there’s no spearmint? Color me confused.

I’d call this a peach camomile, but whatever. It’s tasty.

A French tisane, only sold pre-made, in Belgium, called Los Angeles? Okay, I’ll try it. It’s an unusual combination of pineapple juice, rosemary, Heather, ginger puree, grape juice and meadowsweet.

I’m getting mostly pineapple rosemary, but it’s more like a tea than juice. Is this technically tea? Dunno, you guys tell me. Would I but it again? Maybe, if I needed a savory sweet organic tea on the go.

I seem to have accidentally stumbled upon Spanish tea in a random grocery store in Belgium. Mind you, this grocery store also carries Dammann Frères right on the shelf…

I grabbed it because it seemed unusual. Plus, I’ve get to grab any puerh for the trip, so why not a “diet” tea? (so named I’m sure because of the added artichoke and green tea extract).

Is it tasty? Sure. Can I tell what the “red fruits” are? Nope, although the bag doesn’t show red fruits, just tropical ones, and there’s definitely no strawberry (allergies). There’s a drying, astringent quality to this tea, and it needs sweetening. Do I love it? Nah. I enjoyed it much more last night for some reason.

Well, this isn’t a fruit tea, so I need to change that. It’s a black with added flavors, and surprisingly good ones. I actually get “McDonald’s crappy Blueberry muffin” out of this… Or what I’d imagine it to be. The commercials have two ladies taking a bite out of their cups, and showing a Blueberry muffin. Pretty accurate!

Didn’t realize it was a green tea until well after steeping. Oops! Nice ginger kick when overstepped, definitely get the lemon and lime, just a bit dry and tart without a touch of honey (likely due to oversteeping the green tea).

Hm. Good, not great. Simple tea really, green with goji berries… And it’s pleasant, I’m having zero issue drinking it. Going down easily but mindlessly.

Strange tea. Smells powerfully of lime, faintly of something like papaya or guava. The cacao throws me off because I can smell it too. It rounds things out a bit, makes it smoother, creamier, and at times its the strongest note drinking it. Can’t quite be sure what to make of this one.
