Oh my goodness. This conjures up pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. The spices are abundant in this tea, which usually bothers me, but for some reason it didn’t! And is it me, or can you taste a hint of crust? I used a hint of sugar, but no milk. Next time I’m definitely trying this with milk. PERFECT tea for the changing season!

Yum. I was worried and skeptical about ordering a peanut butter tea. Notes and hints of peanut butter, chocolate, and cheesecake dance together without being overpowering. If I tasted it without knowing the title, I don’t know if I’d say "Oh! That’s peanut butter chocolate cheesecake! But the flavors make sense together. There’s strong undercurrent of vanilla (thinking is is the honeybush? I’ve only had one honeybush tea before, and that was from a different company). This is PERFECTLY blended for a great desert in a cup. Note, I did add a wee bit of sugar. I am curious to try it without.
All in all, super happy with my first taste of 52teas. Can’t wait to try the others I bought.

This one is deceivingly good on the first sip….until the cough syrupy after taste kicks in.

Let me reenact my tasting of this:
“OOoooooohhhhh……EEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!”

Had this one cold, don’t even want to try it hot. Blech.

I needed some bagged tea for work. I’ve been trying to cut down on coffee and drink more green tea for health benefits, but I really don’t like the taste of plain green tea, blech. Grassy. So I saw this on sale at my local grocery store and picked some up.

It’s PERFECT for what I bought it for. Republic of Tea seems to do a decent bagged tea. No, it’s not fresh loose. But at work loose leaf just isn’t practical. There are notes of berry in this, but I don’t find it cough syrupy or artificial tasting. It’s not grassy. Pleasant flavor, and exactly what I needed. Good hot. (I usually don’t try greens cold, due to the aforementioned grass flavor).

DIVINE. Like a chocolate covered cherry in a cup.

There are few things as frustrating as a tea that’s NEARLY perfect, but at the same time so far off.

I think it’s the macadamia nuts that turned me off on this one. Tried it plain, tried it with milk, didn’t care for either. This one is a miss for me.
