I do like a good licorice tea, but this one is a bit muddled for me. There are other flavors trying to compete with the anise, and it just doesn’t blend well with my palate. Not sure if I used too much leaf, I do need some caffeine this am, so maybe I overleafed it? Thanks for adding it to the box!

This tea smelled delicious, almond and vanilla. But the first steep was a bit meh tasting, the aromas of the dry leaf and the brewed cup just didn’t translate. So I steeped again and put it in a go cup hoping the aromas would sink back into the tea, and they did. Nutmeg and vanilla blended well and I really enjoyed the cup. Thanks to whoever put this in the box!

Flavors: Nutmeg, Vanilla

Oooh I did hehe! If it’s the SVTTB, I liked it and preferred it as a latte!

A tasty herbal blend that steeps twice. The first steep was more nutmeg and vanilla, the second more ginger and cardamom. A different nighttime brew than I’m used to, I’d add it to my cart if I was placing an order. Thanks for adding it to the box!

Flavors: Cardamom, Ginger, Nutmeg, Vanilla

drank Carrot Cake Pancakes by 52teas

This tea is spicy and mapley, but I don’t get much carrot cake here. It’s a nice sweet tea, with a bit of a harsh base underneath. Glad I got to try, don’t need it in my cupboard.

I brewed this twice yesterday for a go cup brew and then used the leaves again today for grandpa style. Sweet and floral without being cloying. Very smooth, and I bet it would brew a few more times. Thanks for putting it in the box, it’s going on my wishlist!

Flavors: Floral, Smooth, Sweet

A root beer float! Creamy vanilla and sasparilla, with a slightly spicy finish. Smooth and mellow for an afternoon treat. Can’t say I’ve been a fan of several Desert by Deb’s teas but this one was great!

Flavors: Creamy, Root Beer, Vanilla

I am traveling this week and I did bring some tea with grand hopes of drinking and logging tea notes. I did get caught up in the wave of canceled flights and had a hell of a time getting to FL. Let’s just hope my return flight is uneventful, is there some way to increase my travel karma at this late date? I’m sure the middle finger I’ve been giving United in my head won’t help.
This tea was mildly chocolate, certainly smooth, if a bit weak. Maybe a gong fu session is the way to go here.
Thanks for adding it to the box, glad I got to try.

I am sorry to hear about your travel troubles! Sometimes it is a bit of fun — but usually it’s rather full of stress and nothing else.

Chocolatey and cookie-like, this blend did not disappoint! There is a flavor here like a chocolate dipped waffle cone. There is a black base underneath somewhere, but I only tasted the chocolate cookie. Thanks for putting it in the box!

The ingredients in this one sound so weird, but it’s so good! Totally chocolate digestive.

drank Maple Sugar by Tea Guys

There is something acidic and a bit sour from this tea. Not surprising with acid in the ingredient list, but this didn’t taste very sugary to me. Not sure what the base is here, but it’s not a prominent flavor note. It’s kinda bleh compared to the warm bread pudding from yesterday. Glad I got to try and thanks for adding to the box!

Flavors: Acidic, Maple, Sour

I don’t mean to by a complainypants about the weather, but it’s rained every day for the past two weeks in a place where it typically rains twice a month. So I pulled this out of the box for a comfort cup this morning and got a nice warm cinnamon maple hug. I think this is just as good as Cuppa Geek Morning Waffles and I might need some of this in my cupboard. Thanks for putting it in the box!

This sounds really tasty!

Oh, yeah! Spice & Tea Exchange is very, very proud ($) of their product, but I grab some of this every time I’m near their Branson storefront.

It’s so good! I wish it wasn’t so pricey, I can see myself drinking it super fast

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!
