So I’ve been trying to drink up a lot of tea before my Wisdom teeth come out next week. I am getting a cold or something because my taste buds are odd I discovered yesterday and haven’t been able to breathe too well at night either. So it looks like that plan might not be the best idea now because who want’s to try new teas that they can’t taste?

Brewed this up triple strength. I love this tea so much even when I’m not sick but try to limit it because otherwise I’d use it up way too fast and would have to make another big online purchase to get more. The eucalyptus in this really helped me breathe better.

The more I drank this tea the more I reached for it. It started out as tasting very disappointing and peppery. Towards the last 4-5 tea bags the clove became more pleasant and the spices were more discernible. This last teabag with my luck just happened to have a huge rip in the sachet when i pulled it from the tin. Luckily all of the herbs were still inside and were salvaged and put into a strainer.

Drank two cups of this today. It was disappointing and even less enjoyable than the last time I drank it. Trying to drink up the last few teas I have that are about or over a year old. This one is about a year old and smells like a decadent chocolate truffle.

Prep: 1st Cup: Boiling water for 2:15 minutes
2nd Cup Just below boiling water steeped slightly longer than before.

Ended up tasting like a weak plain black tea. I changed the steeping parameters though to try to bring out the chocolate notes.

This was a free sample that came with my order. I don’t believe that I’ve ever tried Darjeeling tea before either. So it’ll be interesting to see if I pick up on it in this blend.

The dry leaf smells very bright full of blueberry and lemon notes. It also smells like soda has a sort of sweet carbonated smell to it.
I felt like agave might work better than honey in this tea. I didn’t add milk because I felt like that wouldn’t fit very well with this tea which turned out to be a good decision.

Tasting Note: I expected this to be very bright and citrusy. It wasn’t at all what I expected. The blueberry and lemon really blended together and create this cup of rich, slightly buttery goodness. The Darjeeling blends really nicely with the other flavors. I don’t taste the rooibos at all which is nice. This tea leans closer to a blueberry black tea in taste with some lemon. It doesn’t have bright pops of citrus and is more rich than citrusy. I can see the muffin aspect of this tea but am conflicted in terms of how it matches it’s name. Blueberry lemon muffins usually have pops of citrus which is what I was missing in this blend. It’s still a very enjoyable cup.

It’s my second white that I’ve had the first was also from this company. Also my second time trying a tea from this company. This one had more flavor than the other.
I prepared this according to the instructions and added a hint of sweetener but no milk.

This tea is really interesting. It’s fruity but different than the fruity tea’s that I’m used to as I’ve never had banana in a tea before or strawberry. There is a floral note that appears just under the fruitiness. As someone else said there’s a slight custard note at the end of each sip. There’s notes of straw that appear in each sip as well probably from the white tea base I would assume. This tea is also quite creamy as well. I would definitely recommend it. It’s very unique and has quite a few different notes of complexity to each sip.

Last tasting note on this tea for quite awhile.
Each cup of this leaves me wanting more of that toasty flavor. I have to keep reminding myself that this tea is old so the cherry cough syrup flavor has faded and that if I were to buy this again I wouldn’t like it. I haven’t had a good loose leaf Sencha in quite some time which is one of my favorite teas. So that must be where my craving for this comes from.

Drank a cup of this with my lunch. Added some Mimosa honey and a bit of almond milk. This cup was moderately good for being such an old tea. It got lost in a moving box and is 2-3 years old.

Preparation: 8 Oz boiling water one tea bag steeped for 15 minutes.
A cup of one of my faves. Yum! Just bought some more of this today and had to make a cup immediately of it. Very rich as always. No additions.

Had another two cups of this today. The first one was mostly toasty tasting with very little cherry cough syrup flavor.

The resteeping was less flavorful but had more cherry flavor.
