I don’t usually go for coconut teas, but this one smelled absolutely incredible, so it’s the first one I tried from the TTB. Unfortunately the flavor doesn’t quite match up. I taste a lot of oolong, but it doesn’t taste the freshest. The coconut and fruit are there too, but again, not too special. The added flavors are too light, and the oolong isn’t a great one. It’s still always nice to try a new brand!

I don’t personally prefer this sencha. I just find it too grassy and loud compared to other green teas that blend more smoothly into the background. I steeped this for two minutes as recommended, but it still tastes a bit bitter. This tea smells absolutely amazing. The pineapple flavor is probably the most authentic I’ve ever encountered in a tea – just like biting into a fresh juicy pineapple. I only wish it were paired with a base I enjoyed!

I’m usually good at remembering, but I have no idea where I got this tea bag. This flavor is mulled wine inspired, and I feel like they capture that vibe pretty well. I can clearly taste the tart fruit and some mild spices on top. I liked it better cold. This company only sells a few tea blends, and I’m not sure I’m motivated to try the other ones, but I had a decent time with this one.

The flavor here was a bit muted and basic. I taste red hot-style cinnamon along with a bit of fruitiness. But the base tea adds no flavor, so it’s sort of just those flavorings on top of nothing.

I don’t know what Irish cream is supposed to taste like, but this turned out to be a delicious chocolate teas. I really like how 52teas balances chocolate teas. It’s almost as satisfying as a hot chocolate with a pleasant black base and a very authentic chocolate. The second time I had this wasn’t quite as amazing as the first, but still quite pleasant sweetened with milk. This one also resteeps super well.

Got this from a Sips By box, but it looks and tastes so familiar that I think I’ve had it from another company before. I steeped for only three minutes so it wouldn’t get too sour. The flavor ended up quite pleasantly tart with a nice jammy berry quality. The cold brewed resteep was very flavorful as well. I don’t think I’d seek this one out specifically, but if I come across it again, I won’t be disappointed.

I definitely don’t taste sweet potato, but I have to say that this is quite sweet and tasty. It’s mostly fruity, lightly spiced, and a little starchy. I like to add milk. I removed all the marshmallows (there were tons!). The black tea is mild, so this one ends up light, but enjoyable.

This is a pretty standard mint herbal tea. I enjoy mint tea cold, so it’s refreshing, though it could be a bit lighter/brighter. It’s a tiny bit murky, but not bad. It’s definitely one of the less exciting blends from the advent calendar.

I enjoyed this tea a lot more than I expected. I couldn’t really taste the white tea (there was a lot less of it than in the picture on the website). It mostly tasted like a light apple juice. I think the chamomile was a great choice and perfect pairing. I only tasted a hint of the cinnamon. It’s not special enough to order, but it’s definitely refreshing. I preferred this one hot – it was comforting and well-balanced. Once it cooled, I tasted more white tea, which I don’t personally prefer. I made a cold resteep of the leaves, which ended up with almost a caramel apple flavor.

From a TTB. This one doesn’t really stand out from other breakfast blends. I found it decently strong the first time I had it, but the second time, I found it a little thin and lacking. It wasn’t bad, but not exciting, just a plain unexceptional tea.
