This tea can be quite good when sweetened although I don’t like it when teas need a lot of sweetener. I wanted this hot but didn’t want to add a ton of sweetener to it. So I added some peach sparkling water. It has artificial sweeteners in it but a little goes a long way. So I added a little bit of that to it. It made it quite tasty more like drinking a fruity lemonade. I also think that it brings out the flavor more that way whereas I found that using agave/honey distracts somewhat from the flavor of the tea. This was a tea that a family member picked out to order and didn’t end up loving it. I was craving something warm and fruity and didn’t have many options so I opted for this.
I’ve definitely been getting into fruity teas a lot more lately. I wouldn’t repurchase this just because I find it needs the water to make it taste great. Also the smell of the dry leaf really hurts my nose.

Finally broke up my box of this that I’ve been hoarding. I’ve already gone through the other two… I wish this was sold all year. They better not even think about retiring it. This is my favorite CS tea it really tastes like a Sugar Cookie. Yum!

Sipdown!
This tea was SO Fragrant in the little sample bag that it rubbed off on the other sample bags as well.

I added about a teaspoon of almond milk for creaminess.

Flavorwise- This is a nice Earl grey. The bergamot is powerful which is often how I prefer my earl greys. The maple adds a nice sweetness keeping the bergamot from making the cup too bitter. I think the rooibos also does that since it’s not just a black tea base. I have to say that I was on a real earl grey kick last summer and now I’m definitely wanting other teas a lot more. I do enjoy this but wouldn’t buy more for my cupboard ATM since I’m still slightly sick of earl greys. It’s definitely not one of my favorites out of all the teas I’ve tried from AQ2T so far. This one is definitely less unique but is still nice.
