165 Tasting Notes
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.
I very much enjoy the warm spices here, very reminiscent of fall. Cinnamon, apple, coconut, ginger, and pepper are all team players that work well together in this blend. It’s about to be April but I’m already looking forward to the crisp autumn air. Dreaming of moving somewhere with perpetually fall-like weather.

TTB Review #56: If you’ve been following my TTB reviews, you’ll know that I’ve had a very volatile experience with “honey” teas. Fortunately, this one seems to have done it right. Definitely getting floral notes, but less orchid and more jasmine, maybe even a little rose. I appreciate this tea for restoring my faith in honey.
TTB Review #55: Well, I was certainly very skeptical upon seeing “wet rocks” listed among the flavors. Smelling it…why, yes, it does remind me of wet rocks! Wet leaves is another apt description. Tree bark, mud, musky grass. The taste isn’t as harsh – woody, nutty, and with just a hint of wet rocks. Despite wondering if I’m drinking puddle water, I kind of like it!
TTB Review #50: While the rosettes are quite interesting visually, the flavor is bitter and lackluster. Something between dirt, wood, and smoke, but with none of the pleasant qualities. Shame, the presentation is on point, but taste-wise it missed the mark for me.
