Blackberries combined with an organic Tieguanyin. So simple, and makes so much sense. The natural stonefruit flavor is elevated by the punch of tart blackberries. A simple blend, but packed full of incredible flavor.

This smells absolutely incredible. Like a honey pound cake topped with date syrup and candied oranges. The flavor is much more subdued than the smell, and there’s a bit of sharpness from the black tea blend. The ginger is very mild, almost undetectable. The combination of flavors is lovely.

This time around is much, much better. 200F, 2min. Tastes like crystallized sugar and sweet potatoes

I definitely agree with previous reviews that mention it tastes like honeysuckle. It definitely does. That flavor seems like it would go better with a green base rather than a Darjeeling. The flavoring and the tea itself seem to be fighting with each other.

Apparently I had tasted this before, but I have no memory of that. There is a bit of a brandy note, as well as a slightly synthetic chocolate flavor. It’s slightly creamy, but not nearly enough for me to consider it reminiscent of cheesecake.

There was definitely more mango flavor this time around, still more coconut than the former though.

Oh, my. This may be one of my favorite chais ever. I’m very sad not to be able to purchase more. It’s very, very cardamom heavy (which I LOVE), and is full of fluffy marshmallow goodness. It’s so tasty. I have enough for one more cup, and I will savor it.

Perhaps I overstepped this, but it is quite offensive. It’s extremely sharp, sour, and dry.

Finished this one up, and sad to see it go. Definitely something I gravitates to frequently when I wanted something fruity.

This is another that I got out of the last TTB that I’m just now trying. It’s pretty unremarkable, with charcoal notes being the most prevalent flavor and aroma. Heavy amount of sediment in the cup. Not something I would try again.
