Mmmmmm this will be a fantastic iced tea. I made it hot and pretty much after a sip tossed it in the fridge to cool. I don’t think I’d ever drink this hot as there too much wonderful fruity goodness going on here – something I much prefer cold. I’m going to try and bring this to the gym tomorrow for my post workout drink. Also, the color on this one is amazing. I’ll get another tasting note up once I’d had it iced and rate it then. Yay for fruit explosions!

So this is a nice black tea…love the basicness of it and though I don’t get the kick in the face of caffeine that everyone else had, this is a really nice staple for the house :)

This tea is sponsered in part by Helena even if I did get the sample from indigobloom For those who aren’t following Helena she posts almost daily with this tea as her morning wake up and go tea. As a result, I’ve been wanting to try it for a bit. When indigo gave it to me she mentioned someone about the lemon but i was feeling overwhelmed by all the tea, likely muttered something incoherent that she took to mean i understood what shed said and then promptly forgot what it was :)

In any case, this is a lovely tea. I can understand having this as a staple in my cupboard. Stacy is going to awesomely bump up getting the grapefruit tea out so I’ll have to pick up some of this one when that comes out. I’ve already told my other half that because she’s so awesome there WILL be another tea order even though I promised to wait haha. He agreed but only if I can finish getting through all the samples in our house ATM. I figure if I can knock 10 out every weekend I should be good!

As for this tea….since this is apparently a random talk about everything else post – no I’m not awake yet-it reminds me of another butiki tea that I can’t place my finger on at the moment. Probably having sometig to do with the base. Once I figure out what the hell indigo told me about this tea I’ll be in a good place.

So I’m going to have to try this one again tomorrow…I’m not getting the same flavour as everyone else. It’s not bad, it’s just not what I’d hoped for. I’ll give it another shot tomorrow and hold off rating it until then :)

Oh man…so this is caffeine free, which is bad new bears for me since it’s delicious! and can be an evening tea for me as i try not to drink too much caffeine in the evening even though it doesn’t affect me.

So first off…the smell…oh man the smell. See I looooove lattes and cappacinos and caramel machiatos and this…this smells divine! I’m sure if Ian was here he’d be asking me why i was making coffee when i have 5 pounds of tee to drink!

So, on to the taste. I steeped it for the 5 mins, and I’m thinking next time i’ll up the time a bit and/or add a bit extra to the mix. It’s a little light on the flavour for me but that’s also likely because of the smell, which has me expecting full on coffee haha I’m also tempted to add a wee bit of milk or cream to this just to see what happens…but another time. I may just need to take advantage of the sale (free 2oz!) going on this weekend with della terra…course then i need a plan for sneaking it into the house as well haha. Maybe this one gets sent to work… Really a nice tee for anyone who loves that caramel/cappacino type flavor. The roiboos doesn’t even phase me :)

mmm….this is delicious. I have to say, pumpkin isn’t anything that I enjoy. Sacriledge I know but i hate pumpkin pie too lol! However, this tea…this tea is wonderful. I’m going to have to order this for myself I think. I’d love to have this for the fall on thos colder evenings when you can see your breath in the air.

Sooo…what did i like about this tea? The spice :) What did i not like about this tea? The smell. I won’t share what the smell reminded me of since nobody wants to read that lol What this tea does do though is make me excited for the malted chocomate that’s on it’s way to my place!
I kinda want to feed this one to my other half to see what he thinks but sadly he’s at work while i’m my tea journey today heh.

I needed a break from all the flavours happening in my mouth with the tea craziness today so I opted for this one. This was just what I needed. Nothing to add beyond what’s already been said about this tea, but I will say that it’s just the break I needed from my flavored teas. :)

so let me just say, it’s hot! I’m cleaning and the weather here is hot and I’m drinking hot tea all day lol. I must be insane. Nw I am not a fan of pistachio ice cream, but I am a fan of butiki teas! So when indigobloom asked if I wanted to try it I of course said “more tea?! Ok!”

This is not a tea I’d order again but I’m glad for the chance to taste it. I think I have a few friends who would really love it so I’ll be letting them know. I DO however love the smooth taste of this tea and the nutty flavor. It’s not a bad tea – just not one I’d keep regularly in my cupboard since there are so many others I love more :)

So I wasn’t too sure about this open but figured what the hell when the girls asked me if I wanted to try it….I say girls because by now I’ve completely forgotten whether it was kittena or indigo loom who gave me these…though most will fall in indigos world. I’m not sure the smell would warrant keeping this tea around if it came back. It’s damn overpowering! But that being said, the tea itself is actually really nice. It could be a little more chocolatey but overall I really enjoy it. It reminds me of camping back when my parents used to take me…this tea tastes like your clothes smell once you get them back to civilization after a week of campfires haha I love it!
