I quite enjoyed this one. It has a nice balance of woody rooibos with those earthy rooty flavors and spices. Ginger and cardamom stand out to me, which is ideal since those tend to be my favorites of the chai spices. Nicely grounding earthy notes from the chicory root. And I really appreciate that it doesn’t have added flavors, as I prefer my chai that way. Spice and cinnamon flavors are always so over the top to me.

Very enjoyable, and of course perfect for fall. Would consider ordering some of this one once (if ever) my cupboard gets more under control. :P

Pleasant enough minty tisane with a nice balance of sweet spearmint with other mellow herby flavors. Particularly liking the oatstraw, but I could do without the licorice root. Luckily it’s quite subdued, but I can still taste a touch of that mouth-coating sweetness.

Also, I don’t understand the butterfly pea flower craze. I guess maybe it makes sense for iced drinks, but why would I want to drink something that looks like mouthwash? XD

The first of many teas from another Etsy company I found. There has been far too much tea buying for me lately, heh heh… But work has been very stressful, so I’m not going to worry about indulging in a little retail therapy. :P

Anyway, this wasn’t one I was super duper interested in, really I only added it to reach the free shipping threshold. But I do love yerba maté, which is mostly what this blend tastes like. I do taste hints of citrus, along with some other herby notes I can’t necessarily identify. There’s a bit of the tulsi as well.

Very pleasant and balanced maté blend. Not something I would reorder, just because I think I would rather have either a plain maté or a blend that’s a bit less subtle on the other ingredients.

Flavors: Citrus, Dry Grass, Earthy, Hay, Herbaceous, Musty, Smooth, Sweet, Tulsi

It barely counts as retail therapy when the product you’re purchasing is consumable! XD

Kelmishka: I’m going to use that if you don’t mind…HAHAHAHA! (I may have ordered a refill for a tea that is almost gone and accidentally added four others to cart BUT they are really so Ashman can have evening tea with me when it gets cold that’s my story and I am sticking to it.)

Ha ha thanks for the enablement, ladies! ;) Also, obviously I need to know where you ordered from, ashmanra?!

Simpson and Vail! A refill of Carrot Cake Cupcake plus four new green rooibos blends to try!

Kaylee

Simpson & Vail is relatively cheap compared to some other loose leaf companies so I think you’re actually SAVING money by placing this order!

ashmanra

Oooo, Kaylee, I like the way you think!

Cameron B.

I agree, Simpson & Vail is so cheap! I love their Winter Wonderland green rooibos. :D

Meh, it tastes like a health tea. There are millions of ingredients, so it’s pretty muddled. The licorice is pleasant, but it’s otherwise savory. It tastes sort of like garlic or tulsi. It’s not very enjoyable. I always try every herbal tea in a TTB, but I definitely could have skipped this one.
