Now this is a fantastic rooibos. It’s one of those where you take a mouthful and go whoa. It’s not super almondy, but the bit that comes through really elevates the flavor as a whole. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to try this one. I would certainly buy some of this for myself.

Oh noooooo. I didn’t notice that this had coconut in it, and it turned rancid surprisingly quickly. It’s sad because I can tell from the initial flavor that this one is pretty tasty! Lovely cinnamon, and I know the coconut would have gone with it very well. I had to dump the cup because the coconut was too bad. I appreciate amandastory516 for sharing this one with me regardless! I’ll have to sample a fresh batch sometime because I love the cookieness that this one promises.

Yep, indeed it needs quick drinking.

I always put teas with coconut aside to make sure I drink them first, but somehow this one slipped by!

drank African Solstice by Tea Forte

This ended up more light and floral than I imagined, but the flavor is definitely enjoyable when it cools. It’s one that tastes a little different with each sip. I like the rooibos that Tea Forte uses. I see that it gets mixed reviews, but I’m definitely feeling more on the positive side about this one.

drank Evening In Missoula by TeaSource

This tea is so minty and fresh. It’s one I’ve wanted to try for a long time, and I’m so glad it lived up to expectations! I’m drinking it cold, and it’s so complex and tasty. Definitely a new favorite. Everything meshes so well together, making it so layered and good.

It’s a good one!

drank Mojito Marmalade by Tea Forte

I brewed this and then left it in the fridge overnight. It turned out a bit murky from the mint. I guess I should have made the effort to drink it in the same day. The orange comes across quite sharp and cleanerish. I wish I had enough of this to try again with different brewing parameters because this doesn’t taste very pleasant, but maybe my methods aren’t doing it justice.

drank Anastasia by Kusmi Tea

This tea is quite mildly flavored, but the black tea is pretty high quality. Tasty maltiness, decently rich. Somehow, this is reminding me of the creme brulee I ate earlier. I can’t point out exactly what spices are included, but it all goes together quite well. It’s too bad there was only one serving left in the tin! I’m enjoying it with milk and sugar.

drank Carrot Cake by TeaSource

Warm, mild spices, probably a little too much of a licorice-like flavor (don’t see any corresponding ingredients for that flavor though). I wouldn’t say it’s carrot cake necessarily, but the flavors go well together and manage to be different from other spice teas. This one is subtle and enjoyable. Not much green tea coming through, which is fine with me.

drank Mint Medley by Golden Moon Tea

Really bright and fresh. The spearmint is super nice in this. I wish I could taste the lavender too, but it’s really just mint. It did get a little weird tasting after it had sat for a few hours, but fewer hours than it usually takes for mint teas to taste weird.

drank Strawberry Sencha by TeaSource

Nice light strawberry flavor on a mild green base. I’m enjoying it lukewarm. The strawberry flavor is quite nice and understated. I’d drink this again.

drank Earl Grey by Kusmi Tea

Pretty mild for an EG, but the black tea is decently tasty. I wish there were more bergamot! With sugar and milk, it’s pleasant. Not one of the better EGs I’ve had, but not as bad as a lot of the other reviews seem to indicate!

Steepster is glitching for me, so I can only access it using my laptop, which I don’t use very often, so I unfortunately will not be as active on here as I prefer to be.

I’m an event planner who always has two 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, and listening to podcasts.

Favorite flavors: Almond, strawberry, nutty, dessert flavors, melon, mint, 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. 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
