I really like dragon fruit. I’ve eaten entire dragon fruits in one sitting. So, I was really interested in trying a dragon fruit tea. I am happy to report I was not disappointed. This tea gives me the full dragon fruit flavour without anything else overpowering it. It does have a bit of a tart aftertaste (I assume from the hibiscus) but I didn’t find this to make much of a difference. I will be buying more of this tea as summer approaches since it is a super refreshing and tasty iced tea.

I first tried this tea last summer when it came out as the Tea of The Month. I’ve been a big fan ever since. I frequently use my free 50 g tea redemptions to redeem for this tea. To me, there’s a strong mango and tropical flavour while still being able to taste the black tea base. It is very refreshing in the summer and I love to drink it iced. I will definitely be picking more of this one up in the future.

This one is okay. Just okay. It does have a strong blackberry flavour and I’m not the biggest fan of blackberries. I found mixing it with other teas was helpful to make the blackberries less overwhelming. I won’t be buying any more of this one but it was drinkable.

This was another tea I won as a part of the 2017 summer collection. I’ve also put off trying this one for months since I’m not a big fan of grapefruit or ginger. I first tried it steeped hot and then iced. Then I cold steeped the rest of it. Steeped hot, the ginger was overwhelming and made me feel ill as I drank it. There was no sweetness in this one either. Cold steeped, the ginger was a little less prominent but the grapefruit was ever more sour. I did not like this one no matter what I did with it. I won’t be buying any more of this.

DISCLAIMER- I have hated every melon tea I have ever tried

The only reason I had this tea was because I won it in a contest this summer as a part of the 2017 summer collection. I’ve been putting off trying it ever since. It tasted like quite sour watermelon with strong honeydew. I did not like this one at all. To use it up, I mixed it in with other teas in a 1-4 ratio so that I couldn’t even taste it but was still using it up. I’m glad it’s gone.

I did not care for this one. I was expecting a nice fruity raspberry flavour with some refreshing mint. What I got instead was overwhelming mint with a strong alcohol taste. I was gifted a sample of this and am glad that it’s now all gone. I will definitely not be buying any more of this.

I picked up the small heart tin of this tea for Valentine’s Day. While the tin is adorable, I thought the tea was just okay. The smell of roses was overpowering and I could hardly tell there was any chocolate in this aside from the slimy film it created in my cup. In a blind taste test I would not be able to tell there was anything in this tea aside from roses. Sadly, I was pretty disappointed. Was it bad? No. Was it great? No. Would I buy it again? No.

I must say that I expected more nectarine out of this tea than I got. I thought it tasted more like an apricot. Despite this, I found it to be pretty good when cold steeped. This one didn’t wow me per say but I didn’t find it hard to use up the 80 g I had. I don’t think I’ll buy any more of this one though now that it’s gone.

Meh. Just meh. This one wasn’t especially great and wasn’t especially terrible either. It’s just okay. I got a 25 g bag in the summer collection last year and wasn’t super impressed. I ended up with two pitcher packs as well that sat in the cupboard for a year. I have now used them up and am glad to have room for other teas instead of this one. I love pomegranate and this doesn’t taste anything like that to me. It just has a vague fruity flavour.

I was sent a free sample of this tea by the company and was pleasantly surprised to say the least. I am a dedicated loose leaf tea fan but this tea was great. It smelled like a hot chocolate and tastes just like mint hot chocolate. I would definitely consider getting more of this tea to keep on hand in the future.
