Ick, another tea with what seems like a strong aftertaste of alcohol, and not the good kind. Individually I can taste what’s supposed to be strawberry and vanilla, but together I’m just getting an overwhelming taste of the alcohol that makes up vanilla extract. Bleh.
Flavors: Alcohol, Strawberry, Vanilla
Definitely tastes like Christmas! I enjoy everything about this tea, from the warm spices to the slight citric flavor to the intriguing clove (or something that reminds me of clove). I’m surprised a white tea was able to bring forth so much flavor that I’d usually find in a black tea. Delicious!
Interesting mix of mint and floral, notably rose and lavender. Honestly I could have done without the mint but I’m not complaining too much, it works well together. Maybe if the mint were a bit more tempered this would have been perfect, but as it stands, it is acceptable.
Flavors: Floral, Lavender, Mint, Rose
A little disappointed with this one, I had hoped for more prominent notes of bergamot as is typical in most earl grey teas. I’m not sure what blueflower typically tastes like, but I’m getting subtle notes of sweetness which may be related. Overall it’s good but not great.
Very tasty, like hot chocolate only less sweet which I actually prefer. I know lots of tea-lovers like to add milk to blends like these but I went without and, honestly, I think it tasted great. If you like 90% dark chocolate, then you’ll probably like this tea.
Flavors: Cocoa
Oh yes, this right here hits the spot! Another tea perfect for fall, and considering there’s a thunderstorm here right now, I’m all for it. The spices are fantastic and bold but not so much that you can’t appreciate the tea base. Sipping this while it’s rainy and windy outside, with my window cracked open, I feel like a character in a Lifetime movie (iykyk).
First impression – BLEH! Artificial grape is one of my least favorite scents/flavors, so I was immediately skeptical. Upon tasting – where’s the cranberry? None that I can pick up in the slightest. Only more artificial grape. Definitely not a fan.
Flavors: Artificial, Grapes
I love all things bergamot so this was bound to be a winner – and I was not disappointed. Not as good as an earl grey, but considering I haven’t been a big fan of many darjeeling teas before, I think the addition of bergamot made it far more enjoyable. Preferred this as a cold brew.
