Backlogging – This is the only new tea I had on vaca this week. It was okay. The hazelnut is the predominate flavor but overall the tea seemed a bit flat. Needs more depth of flavor to be really good. Not bad, though.

This was different. The taste was somewhat surprising. I didn’t know the blended flavors and so I tried to guess and ended up with caramel oranges. Which I’ve never had before. And don’t think I ever want to have. (On the plus side, hubby really enjoyed this a lot – so I suppose it is a personal taste thing).

Not as strongly fruity as I was expecting based on smell (thank goodnes) – the fruit actually makes it pleasantly sweet, but it does overpower the other, lighter teas. Not as much as I expected, but more than I’d like.

Very heavily flavored. Spicy, almost like a chai. A bit overpowering for me – I think if I were in the mood for something very strongly flavored, this might have hit me better. As it is, it’s a little too strong for me to want to enjoy frequently. But I can see the attraction of it. It’s a good tea, just not my cuppa.

Really just taste the Valentines. Not so much the vanilla and coconut. Though when I have had Valentines in the past, it is too tart so I mixed it with Vanilla anyway. I can’t taste the coconut sadly. Not bad, not anything I need to have around all the time though.

I was a little unsure about this one – the smell struck me as odd though I couldn’t peg why. But the taste was wonderful – velvety is the best way I can describe it. Brought to mind dark chocolate – more so in richness and texture than actual taste. I thought it was pretty good when I started drinking it, but the more I had the more it grew on me so, by the end of my travel mug, I was quite the fan.

When I first started drinking tea over a year ago, I didn’t like the malty taste of Assam. But tastes change so I thought I’d try it again. I can’t say I’m overly fond of the smell, but this tea is smooth and not unpleasant. I can’t say I’m going to turn into a big Assam drinker but it’s not icky like I once thought it was.

Dug this up from the back of my tea shelf. This has got to be way old. Barely enough for a single cup but what the heck. Is nuttier than I remember. But all in all, a lot better than I expected when you consider how long it was lost in the pantry.

50/50 milk/water + sugar all boiled together. So very yum. Has a flavor like there is coconut milk in it. Very bright, summery chai.

Very nice. Smooth and sweet with a good EG flavor. Had a little bit of an aftertaste, probably from the flavoring, but nothing that lessened the enjoyment.
