I’m not typically a fan of green and black blended tea, but this steeped twice and had a nice smooth profile. The buttery maple is the star here, and I wasn’t sure at first, but the second steep won me over. I’ll take an extra bag for later consumption. Thanks for adding it to the box!

This is nicely licorice without being like a black jellybean. A smooth mellow cuppa. Thanks for adding it to the box!

I drank this yesterday morning and liked the second steep more than the first. The first seemed a bit muddled, and the second was distinctly chocolate caramel. Thanks for adding it to the box!

This is sweet without being overly sweet, nicely spiced, and very drinkable. There does seem to be a lot going on, and I wish I could taste the pumpkin and pear more. It’s very smooth and both cups disappeared quickly this morning. Thanks for adding it to the box.

Yum, this made a nice iced tea with coconut flavor. A one note tea, and I didn’t expect much, but this one delivered! Thanks for adding it to the box.

Cinnamon and astringent but still good for a morning wake-up. Glad I got to try, thanks for adding it to the box.

The dry leaf is gorgeous, and I made this an iced tea. I tried a few sips hot, and mostly got hibiscus. Cold, the sweetness emerges and rose is the dominant note. Not my cup of tea but I’m glad I got to try! Thanks for adding it to the box.

There’s a lot going on here, don’t taste the chocolate or orange, but the second steep was cinnamon and a lot less muddled. Thanks for adding it to the box.

This is tart strawberry with a little earthiness underneath. It’s nice and sweet without stevia, but the second brew didn’t have as much strawberry flavor. Glad I got to the bottom of this mystery, thanks for add8ng it to the box!

Bio

I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
