drank Roasted Snowball Kukicha by 52teas

Coconut is the strongest flavor, but the kukicha gives it a hearty backdrop. This was best sweetened with milk. I taste coconut and marshmallow and that’s nice, but a little simple. The next two times I had this, I found it too plain for my tastes. The flavors didn’t shine anymore for whatever reason.

drank Orange Anise Black Tea by 52teas

Once I let this cool and added milk, it tasted super nice and sophisticated. The anise is the strongest flavor, but it combined beautifully with the base, and a bright, yet desserty hit of orange comes next. This flavor profile really surprised me – I didn’t expect to be such a fan, but I really enjoyed my bag.

This is one of my favorites – I love it cold-brewed!

Another tea gift from the UK! I wasn’t sure what to expect heather to taste like. It’s refreshing cold and just herbaceous and simple. It combines well with the mild black base. After drinking most of the box, I have become a bit tired of the flavor.

drank Pumpkin Spice by Lemon Lily
2636 tasting notes

This ends up pretty savory, but in an enjoyable way. I’ve been experimenting with steaming and frothing milk, and this tea has been a great base for that. As far as spiced teas/chais go, I’ve had so many weak ones lately, but this one is quite hearty. It packs in a lot of spice and flavor despite being an herbal tea, and it’s a unique tasting spice combination. The 2 oz bag only made a few cups, but it’s one I’d consider getting again. The resteep is super strong too.

drank Pumpkin Muffin by Savoy Tea Co
2636 tasting notes

This is one of the teas that made me want to try Savoy, but I wish it had ended up as tasty as it sounds! It had some random chai-ish flavors, but it’s not that good. The quality of the black tea is just okay. It was all way too mild, and nothing made me think of pumpkin or muffins.

drank Unicorn Magic by The Ivy Tearoom

I taste pineapple and other fruits. It’s really pleasant sweetened with milk. It’s supposed to taste like Fruit Loops, but the quality of the fruit isn’t quite like that. It’s light and juicy.

drank Cotton Candy by The Ivy Tearoom

Another tea from afternoon tea! This is pretty nice! It tastes marshmallowy and desserty. It’s light and pillowy. Warm with sugar and milk, it was lovely, but I bet cold would be even better.

drank Cherry Swirl by The Ivy Tearoom

Recently had another lovely afternoon tea at Ivy! This was my least favorite tea from the meal. I taste brisk black tea along with caramel flavor. I don’t taste the cherry. It’s nice, but not exactly my sort of thing.

I’m drinking this cold with sugar and milk, and I’m enjoying the quality of the blueberry here! It’s so fresh and authentic. This one is straightforward, but high quality.

I tasted mostly orange peel, and the base tea wasn’t that delicious. It just tastes pretty unsophisticated. I shared this with my dad, who tasted plenty of vanilla but nothing else.

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
