Irresistibles

Your basic “off-brand” peppermint tea. Fairly average but certainly pleasing enough when I want a night cap before bed. The best thing about this particular one is that it leaves a pleasing, cooling, mouth-feel.

Phenomenal! I have been looking for an English breakfast tea as I recently heard someone raving about it. They were not mistaken! I tried a few, but this one by Irresistibles, bought at Metro, was fantastic. It can be taken with milk, sugar, or black. I think with some milk and a bit of brown sugar brings out the best tasting notes in this tea.

My dad went through a phase where he would almost only drink flavoured green teas. This is one of them, and probably the last of it at that.
It’s a little flowery and a little lemony, the scent, for some reason, reminds me of a ginger snap cookie, though I’m pretty sure that there’s no ginger in sight here. Ah well.
Overall, not bad. Not great, but not bad.

It tastes like regular green tea is supposed to taste, I suppose. What I mean is that it tastes like tea minus the chemical-like taste of pesticide residue that you would find in conventional teas… :)

A friend at work gave me this sample to try. She is so sweet and thoughtful!!
The tea was pretty darn good. I quite enjoyed it as my afternoon delight. The notes were natural tasting, not fake like so many chocolate teas out there.
The chocolate and raspberry blended nicely together as well.
If I had to pick a flaw though, it’d be that the rooibos bites just a little. I don’t think I oversteeped it but who knows. I have another bag to try so will add some agave next time. It entirely slipped my mind, since Rooibos is one of the only teas I sweeten.

Great evening tea from Irresistibles, I think this is from A&P in Canada. Nice and chill and goes well with milk. Tastier than your average rooibos, maybe even way tastier. I liked it more than Second Cup’s version.

its late night and i can’t sleep- my upstairs neighbours are thumbing around- its 11 pm and i’m ready for bed but in a sour mood. This tea a surprising delight. Its not sweet nor bitter. Soft hints of blackberry do seep through. Its a welcoming distraction and a nice reminder that summer is here.

Can you mess up bagged peppermint? It’s as good as any other I’ve had. Maybe one day I’ll find a really good one, and realise how lacklustre this one was. Until then, bottom’s up.

Received this from a friend in Canada. As I opened the bag I was overwhelmed with Caramel scent. As it steeped you could smell more of the orange. The Rooibos has a nice sweetness to it and it all seems to even out for a fairly decent bagged flavored Rooibos. I was fairly shocked about this purely based on the first Caramel Whiff I got as I open the bag…I was relieved!
