Beautiful English Breakfast. Smooth and mellow with a lovely body. Normally I’m an Earl Grey gal, but this definitely growing on me.

This was a rather tasty mint tilleul. The mint isn’t as sharp as a peppermint tea, but quite nice nonetheless. If you’re after the benefits of Tilleul, but don’t care for it on it’s own, give this a shot.

Mmm, now this is good Sencha! Mellow, buttery, grassy, just a titch sweet. Gorgeous!

Quite a lovely Darjeeling, no question. Flavor is smooth and pleasant.

After reading the reviews I was prepared to toss the cup after the first couple sips, but it’s actually not bad at all. Full disclosure: freshly brewed, I think it smells like fresh cat urine. But if you can get past that… it’s alright.

Blergh! Definitely not for me. I love pomegranate, but this just tasted like cough syrup!

I’ve just had Indian take-out (from an amazing restaurant called Masala. If you ever find yourself in Wellington,New Zealand, definitely give it a go) so that may be influencing the spices somewhat, but I’m loving this. I’m not overly big on cinnamon as a single note, but this is lovely. Far sweeter than I thought it would be. I bet it would be amazing with a cider or chai.

I don’t care for grapefruit, so it’s no wonder why I didn’t like this. However, I’m reviewing this for those that DO like grapefruit in a rather backwards way. The white tea and vanilla are lovely and delicate. The grapefruit, to me, tastes a lot like actual grapefruit. Which of course makes my entire face pucker and unavoidably jerk my head to the right. So, point being, grapefruit aficionados, give this a shot, as it passed my spastic test =(

In the [comedic] words of Robin Williams: Irish men will kick each others ass and then sing about it afterwards. That’s kind of how I feel about this tea. It kicked my ass, no question.

This was a pleasant citrus Green. The Ginkgo lingered for me, but wasn’t overpowering.
