This blend is a new seasonal blend from Murchies and I have to say… its a bit different than I thought. That being said, I still enjoy it a lot! I was expecting a lot of coconut flavor like the coconut cream but the marzipan flavor really takes over on this one which surprised me a little given the coconut flavor in their other blends. A definite rebuy to stock up for after the holidays are over!

Flavors: Alcohol, Almond, Marzipan, Rum

NEW MURCHIES HALL ALERT!!! (also my cupboard is finally up to date as of 10/22/24)

I was a bit hesitant with this based on some notes I’d read but this to me smells and tastes just like eggnog. I really think that this would be great as a latte and even better sweetened! I really like this one… perhaps a new favorite caffeine free blend?

Flavors: Brown Sugar, Cream, Creamy, Eggnog, Honey, Milk, Rooibos, Spices, Vanilla

I’m loving this blend, especially during the cold mornings with a splash of milk and sweetener. It’s rich, creamy, malty and sweet. Love it!

This blend is pretty good, I didn’t get much of anything flavor wise until I sweetened it. I found it best sweetened with milk but I don’t think I’m going to repurchase it again. This is going in the sipdown bin.

That’s so interesting, I felt like this one had a pretty strong maple flavor to it. Different strokes ha ha! :)

Found a tiny bit of this one in my work bag. I honestly don’t remember trying it but it looks like the old subscription packaging (I really miss it). I really liked this blend, the fennel is really nice. It’s best with a splash of milk in my humble opinion but I also liked it plain. Wish I had more than just one cups worth… will be looking for more.

drank Rocket Pop by DAVIDsTEA

Okay soooo this is definitely a new favorite from DAVIDs TEA. I grew up in the early 2000s and this was such a nostalgic flavor for me. I honestly think it was perfectly done, not too sweet and really good hot but preferred it iced/cold brewed. I got to try this lovely blend as a part of a Mother’s Day gift plan Kelly aka @roswellstrange helped me with. Thank you thank you Kelly! Now I have another favorite to gush about!

Flavors: Berry, Blue Raspberry, Candy, Cherry, Fruity, Juicy, Sweet

This is one that I got to try from the SVTTB, I always hesitate to order from the Necessiteas because their stock changes so much but I think this would be a staple for me should it be available year round. I agree with some of the other notes, it tastes more like cola than butter beer but I did rather like it.

Flavors: Caramel, Cola, Cream, Root Beer, Sugar

drank Earl Grey by Zest Tea

Hi friends! I just got the SVTTB over the weekend and I figured I’d share some of the teas I’ve tried/ will try eventually. One of the ones I was most excited to try was this one. I ended up liking it a bit, not as much as I thought I would but I definitely wouldn’t say no to a cup of it should it be offered. You know? I think it was a tad astringent for me, especially towards the end of the mug. I did finish it though, super glad I got to try it!

Flavors: Acidic, Astringent, Bitter, Citrus

This blend is quite nice, I am trying to limit my caffeine a teenie bit, (600 mg a day is a bit much), but this doesn’t hit the spot like the original. Though, I am quite curious how it cold brews.

Bio

My name is Gabriella but everyone calls me Gabby! I am a 20-year-old college student living in NY, majoring in History and Elementary Education. In my spare time, I post reviews and little pieces of writing on my blog, read books, play video games, write poetry, and love to cuddle up with my two-year-old hound dog Buddy.
I have interesting tea preferences, to say the least:
Definitely a mood drinker, and I tend to change my preferences often, if I have a bad experience with a specific flavor or tea type I end up avoiding it for a while, then dive back in later. I also prefer my teas plain but will sometimes make lattes.

Flavor Preferences:

Fruit: mainly melon, berry, and apple flavors are my favorites. I’m allergic to pineapple, passionfruit, and kiwi.
Dessert: Almost all flavors dessert-wise are welcome I especially love warm and comforting flavors like caramels, chocolates, cookies/biscuits, crumbles, and muffin.
Floral: I prefer violets, lavender, roses, and mallow flowers. Open to all florals, allergic to dandelions.
Spices: I love lightly spiced blends but some like the infamous Hot Cinnamon Spice is too much for me.
Herbs: My favorites are mint, rosemary, sage, thyme, and sometimes basil.
Favorite Companies:
Harney and Sons
Simpson and Vail
White 2 Tea
Plum Deluxe
Trader Nicks
Friday Afternoon
