TTB 2025 – When I added the leaves to my strainer, I saw a beautiful dried orange piece and could smell the spices. The fruit and spice flavors were present in the brewed tea without being overpowering. Overall, I enjoyed the taste, but my only complaint is that it left me with a dry mouth feel.

TTB 2025 – This tea tastes sweet and lemon-limey. I drank it plain and did not get any notes resembling cheesecake, but I still found this tea to be enjoyable. It kind of reminded me of drinking a lemon lime soda.

TTB 2025 – Nice pleasant jasmine flavor. Very similar to other jasmine pearl teas I’ve tried, so not much else to note.

TTB 2025 – I’ve never seen a black, ripe puerh, oolong, white tea blend before, so I decided to give this one a try. This blend is incredibly smooth. There is no astringency or bitterness. It is earthy, slightly roasty, and has a note that reminds me of bran cereal. It made for an enjoyable cup of tea.

TTB 2025 – To me, this blend does not taste like a cookie, but more like the spices that would go into a Christmas cookie. It’s somewhere in the realm of gingerbread cookie spices, but not really ginger forward. I think it’s a tasty blend, and the little snowflake sprinkles are adorable.

TTB 2025. I’ve never had this type of oolong before, so I had no idea what to expect. It’s roasty, sweet, and has strong notes of mixed berries. I really enjoyed this one! Unfortunately, there was only 1 serving left, so I used it all up.

TTB 2025 – I had high hopes for this tea since I tried qimen from Jesse’s tea house a couple years ago in a Reddit TTB. That one is still the best qimen I’ve tried. Unfortunately, per their website they switched to a different Qimen. I found this one to be just ok. It tasted smoky and a bit fruity, but not nearly as good as the old version.

TTB 2025 – This blend is delicious and well balanced. I could taste each of the individual ingredients- the smokiness of the Lapsang Souchong, the cinnamon, cloves, and cardamon. None of them overpowered the others, and every single one adds something to this tea.

TTB 2025 – This tea is nutty and savory. Many of the leaves were broken. It seems to be a lower grade than other Dragonwells I’ve had, but it’s also less expensive. For the price point, it’s enjoyable enough.

TTB 2025 – I am usually a fan of coconut teas, but not this one. I brewed my first cup at 195° per the instructions. I agree with Kaylee that the base is too coarse. It overpowered the coconut and was astringent. I ended up dumping half of my first cup. I decided to give it a second chance and brewed at 155° on the second steep. The base tea was less harsh but still astringent. I got more coconut flavor in the taste, at least.
