Nope, Nope, Nope. This tea is very dusty and the color is off. The flavor is sour and pungent. I believe others would enjoy this but its definitely not my cup of tea.

I’ll have another Earl Grey for today. The lavender in this brew balances out the bergamont. It causes for an interesting smoothness. I enjoy this brew and I can see it making its way to my Earl Grey list. I always discover new and different Earl Grey mixtures. Its fascinating how many ways you can mix a classic blend. It has a smooth body and soft black tea flavor. The bergamont isn’t that potent. I can mostly hint at the lavender. This is a soothing mixture.

This is delicious!! I saw the name and I couldn’t wait to try it out. It is very suiting. The actual appearance of this blend is unique. I thought at first that it was just small red clay pebbles. The aroma is incredibly spicy. It takes quite a long time to brew but is well worth it. It has a sugarcane sweetness as the initial taste. This then follows with a zest and cinnamon flavor. The aftertaste is of clove and cinnamon. This is a many faceted brew and very enjoyable. The only part I dont appreciate, is that this leaves a powerful spice taste on your tongue. Otherwise this is a truly one of a kind brew!

What a smooth body this brew has! Its malty and very bold but just the right amount. I tastes like an Assam but more calm. The flavor is of a dark wood and slightly roasted. The aftertaste is sweet and robust. I like this brew, basic yet still enjoyable. This would make a great everyday black.

brrrr!!! I needed something to warm me up this frigid day, so I picked a nice chai. I opened the package to be greeted with a familiar chai scent. The usual cardamom, cinnamon, and anise. The only difference with this, is there was a sharp scent that I couldn’t quite place. I brewed a generous amount in my mug to hopefully cure my frostbite. The aroma was a thick sweet cinnamon with slight anise. The flavor was somewhat surprising. I assumed the black tea pellets was Assam, but this tea doesn’t have the all well known “malt.” Instead, this brew is very smooth and has a slightly watered down taste. This is a rather weak chai, which is okay. It warmed me right up and showed me a lighter side of the chai world.

I wasn’t sure if this was an actual tea for awhile. I looked it up finally and low and behold, its real! I was little awry about brewing because I wasn’t sure about spiced white. This is a very fruity tea. Its a strange kind of fruitless though, its spiced but yet sweet. This reminds me of a light apple cider. The white teas balances out the various flavors. i enjoyed brewing this and the aroma is very pleasing.

This brew surprised once I learned of its ingredients. What I thought to be a heavily sweetened ordeal turned into quite the opposite. I brewed this western styled with a generous amount of leaves. The steeped leaves smell of blackberry jam with just a hint of dark wood. The aroma of the brew is quite consistent. The brew itself is very bold. Its slightly sour with a roasted taste. I can distinctly taste a dark jam or currant. This has a very unique flavor profile and I love it! Its very heady and sweet with a sour fruit aftertaste. I will be enjoying this again and again in the new future.

This tea has a very interesting aroma. I can smell the bergamot distinctly, but its blended well with vanilla and caramel. The flavor matches its scent almost exact. This brew tastes of a smooth silky bergamot with a soft root finish. Its mixed in with caramel syrup and a faint citrus. This tea is nice and soft. I think its perfect for relaxing on a cold night, such as this.

The dry leaves smell of yogurt covered blueberries. I’m not sure if this is a good smell or not. I picked a fruit tisane because I wanted something a little more flavorful but without the caffeine. The flavor is very sour. This brew tastes like under ripened blueberries. In contrast, it has a very sweet aroma. I did not enjoy this, but I believe during spring if this was cold brewed it would be wonderful.

Okay, the steeped leaves smell like camphor. It was not cool, hahah. the brew however is much better! Its a very earthy drink. It reminds me of old styled rosemary rolls. It has a sweet essence, with the sharp intake of rosemary. This flavor is then followed by a deep root flavor, which is slightly dusted. The undertones are of a calm citrus. I enjoy this drink, just not the steeping, hahah.
