20 Tasting Notes
Smells like the holidays! Actually, christmas cookies or soemthing. Very strong peppermint and vanilla. Really nice black tea, and is great on its own without any added sugar or milk. Would definitely buy this one again.
Flavors: Peppermint, Vanilla
Preparation
Wow this smells amazing in he cup. Taste though? Not a super powerful chai thats for sure. The spice is very mild in this one, and the vanilla flavor is very prominent. I dont add anything to my teas, and this one is mildly sweet on its own (naturally from the cinnamon). I really like this one… its nothing too crazy… just an all around good chai. But I will say… if you did add milk and honey to this it would probably be AMAZING! Im just a “naked” tea kind of gal.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Clove, Vanilla
Preparation
Sugar Plum Forest smells really sweet once brewed (I don’t add sugar to my teas)… it almost smells like its going to be sickly sweet when you sip it. But, its not sweet. It has a mildly sour taste mixed with the after-burn of licorice. I actually really like this tea because it is not overly “fruity” or “sour” like other fruit teas. This one has a good balance of sour and spicy without being overpowering. I would say if you are not a fan of licorice, don’t bother with this tea. The licorice flavor and smell are very prominent here!
Flavors: Licorice, Plum
Preparation
Wow is this minty!! I didn’t have a cold but I can only imagine how soothing this would be if I were all congested. Almost has a menthol cough drop taste… but in a good way. Would not be able to drink this one every day because it is so powerful, but it would definitely be great to clear your sinuses!
Flavors: Eucalyptus, Peppermint
Preparation
If you want a basic white tea, this is great. I mean, there isnt much to say about it. A really mild, great tasting white tea! Only warning, as is with all white teas, DO NOT OVER STEEP! This gets very bitter… watch your timer carefully.
Preparation
Every time I look at this box of tea I get really excited… because I am one of those “Pumpkin Spice Fanatics”. But, I always forget that anything pumpkin flavored is typically terrible tasting without added sugar. This tea is not an exception to that rule. I never add sugar to my teas, so this comes off as extremely bold. Although the tea is not terrible, it has a pretty strong pumpkin/clove/nutmeg flavor. So if you aren’t a fan of those flavors in a big way… stay away.
Flavors: Clove, Nutmeg, Pumpkin
Preparation
This tea is probably one of my favorites. The cinnamon blend is naturally sweet so adding sugar is completely unnecessary! Although I typically do not add any sugar to my teas, this particular variety is exceptionally sweet on its own. If you are a fan of cinnamon flavor you will LOVE this tea.
