whosbradpitt drank Salted Caramel Lebkuchen by Bird & Blend Tea Co.

Another sample, and a fun one. I definitely get a caramel scent from the cup, enough so that I was a bit afraid to actually drink it! It seemed like it would be overwhelmingly sweet and cloying.

Thankfully, the ginger is so strong it doesn’t really reach that point for me. It’s mostly ginger, with some other vague “fall spice” vibe going on, and a hint of sweetness & caramel. I don’t know that I get black tea from this at all – it surprised me this wasn’t a totally herbal blend. Tasty, though not necessarily one I need in the cupboard.

Flavors: Caramel, Ginger, Spices

I got excited by the name of this one, but reading the ingredients it doesn’t look like it’d be for me ):

Bio

Mom of 2, adjunct, and general homebody in California.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
