Yum, this is a smooth and smoky version of whisky, the peated kind without any alcohol. I might need more of this in my cupboard, and Kentucky Bourbon pales in comparison here. I wish I had more than just a sample so I could see if it could get bitter with too much leaf or overbrewing. I would add it to my next Savoy order!

Flavors: Caramel, Smoke, Smooth, Whiskey

Well, this jumpes into wishlist and I am thinking gifting it to my brother who likes whisky.

Only a hint of cinnamon and vanilla in this blend, it may have a lot of caffeine, but it also has a mate bite that’s throwing my tastebuds off. If there were a bit more assam taste here I’d say it was well blended, but it’s too lopsided to me.

Flavors: Bitter, Charcoal, Cinnamon, Vanilla

Milk chocolate without any weird aftertaste, and a hint of vanilla. What’s not to like? I might need more of this in my cupboard.

Flavors: Milk Chocolate, Vanilla

Sipdown!
This one is almondy but not in a marzipan or amaretto way, it’s very subtle. There is a sweet vanilla note too, for the rest of the cookie vibe. I had fun sipping this down, but I prefer Upton almond tea if it’s ever back in stock.

Flavors: Almond, Cookie, Vanilla

Made a pot of this for Christmas morning tea! It’s ok, a muted chocolate mint that is pleasant enough to drink but not good enough to remember or purchase again.
Merry Christmas!

Flavors: Milk Chocolate, Mint

drank Florist Lapsang by white2tea

Advent Tea! Wow this is nicely smooth and floral. Not a whole lot of smoke here, but I’ll try to steep it a few more times. A nice change of pace from clove and ginger and chocolate. The second steep was still floral, but quite a bit weaker. Maybe I’m expecting too much from this delicate brew, but I wish it steeped longer. Thanks for sending it Lexie!

drank Lemon Pound Cake by DAVIDsTEA

Advent tea! A nice change from all the cinnamon, chai, chocolate of the seasonal teas. I do like a good lemongrass tea, but this has just one note to me. The cake is an aftertaste and the oolong non-existent. I am enjoying the lightness of the blend, but it is a bit pale in comparison to Tazo’s hebal version of lemon cake. Thanks for sending it for me to try Lexie!

Flavors: Cake, Lemongrass

Ah wellness teas and ginger, they seem to go hand in hand. My dad and I have been fighting off some cold/virus for several days and I went to the local natural foods store to get all the tea. This one seems ok with my dad, and I could certainly sip a few more cups as its f-ing cold outside! Gingery but not too ginger, lemony but not sour, and it tastes tulsi enough so you know its good for you. Like vegetables.

Flavors: Ginger, Lemon, Tulsi

derk

Holy crap it is freaking cold that way! Stay warm and get better.

Michelle

Ah, I’m not in WY but it is still cold here in IL. The tulsi must have done the trick, I’ll have another cup just to make sure lol.

drank French Roast by Teeccino
442 tasting notes

Teeccino Advent. Usually when I want a cup of coffee, I want a real cup of joe. This really does smell and taste like a good colombian dark roast, I like the other teeccino flavors with more sweetness from the dates, or the peppermint that nearly overpowers all the chicory flavors. I would drink this again, just don’t think I need it in my cupboard if there are other tastier flavors.

Flavors: Chicory, Coffee

Nattie

I read that as ‘French Toast’ and got excited XD

Advent Tea!
I didn’t steep it long enough for the first steep and it came out rather weak. The second steep for about 10 minutes is mostly clove and cardamom with a lingering vanilla aftertaste. Not the chai for me, but thanks for sending it, Lexie.

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!
