Working on sipping through a tin. It’s actually quite good! 1 minute steep time, 1 sugar cube. Pretty tasty vanilla flavor.

This was not good. I’ve been generally unimpressed with the Tea Forte sampler I got.
Had a really strong synthetic caramel flavor that was not tasty at all.

This is a super safe, tasty black tea. Nothing extraordinary, but a nice lingering sweetness and stone fruit/milk chocolate flavor. Not bad, but not something I necessarily need to get again.

Finished off a 15g bag. Still super starchy and delicious, but there is a maple quality that I am not loving don’t remember tasting previously.

This really got better and better as it aged. The smokiness became much more subtle, which allowed the vanilla to really bloom. Really enjoyed it and may purchase again when my stash gets under control.

I enjoyed this blend, but it wasn’t amazing enough to buy it again. The little silver ball sprinkles were pretty cute though. I’m a sucker for sprinkles.

I placed an order with Deb, as I wanted to buy some of her blends for gifts…of course I couldn’t resist buying myself a few new-to-me blends. This was one of them. It’s okay. Very very anise forward, so it’s more of a coconut anise chai?

My sip downs are very sad compared to where I would like to be at. But, I haven’t been buying too much new tea, so at least the collection isn’t substantially growing (until I go to Paris next month).

My previous rating still stands. It was fine, but a little bit of a weird mouthfeel and a lingering sweetness that wasn’t quite right.

A perfectly fine straight peppermint, but nothing special.
