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.

Working on sipping through this. As strong as the amaretto smells, it just doesn’t have the flavor I’m hoping for. Not bad, but not something I will repurchase.

I really wish this was better. It’s such a cute blend- tiny pumpkin sprinkles, popcorn, and cinnamon sticks. But, it just tastes so mehhhhh. It’s vaguely mapley, but very muted and basic tasting. Trying to sip through it so it’s gone.

Awww that’s a shame, it is so cute with the popcorn and sprinkles! And maple sounds delicious. :(

:( Always a shame when a cute tea doesn’t measure up to expectation!
