Another really nice green tea from Yunomi. I don’t crave straight green teas often, but every once in a while, I’ll decide to order a few. Really glad I got to try this one- it’s floral and sweet, with a fresh grassy green note.

Vegetal, bright, green. Really comforting and smooth, easy to drink.

I didn’t care for this. It didn’t read as chestnut, but rather a an artificial chocolate flavor. Not undrinkable, just not great.

A Grimm tea! A fun show for this time of year if anyone missed it.

I was expecting the chocolate in this to taste much more synthetic than it does, based on the smell. Not really getting a nuttiness, but more of a maple chocolate. I’m guessing the caramel flavoring is reading as maple to me.

Requested this as a sample in my recent Bird & Blend order, and was kindly given a 20g bag. I love marzipan/amaretto/almond teas, so I was surprised that I hadn’t tried it yet. I found it to be a bit of a letdown. The nutty, almond flavor tastes synthetic and isn’t all that pleasing.

They did the same for me with Bonfire Toffee a month or two ago!

This is by far my favorite Plum Deluxe blend- I love the combination of juicy apricot and herbal lavender. However, I don’t think I will be purchasing it again for some time.

I had been putting off drinking this, but a nice spicy chai sounded nice (and it was the only option I had that fit the bill at work). I was actually quite surprised by how much I enjoyed this blend. The bit of sugar I added complimented the spiciness of the red peppercorns and ginger nicely. Overall, a really nice chai blend that I would consider purchasing again.

This is really just a clove black tea, but It’s grown on me. I still wish the other flavors were present, but sometimes simplicity is nice.

Still surprised I don’t hate this. The rooibos is subtle, and barely detectable. Mostly getting a creamy coffee flavor.

I actually don’t mind this! The cherry is pretty candy-like (reminds me of a cherry jolly rancher), with a nice strong floral that comes off as more jasmine than rose.
