I found this tea pretty gross, and had to dump it after just a couple sips. The apples create an extremely odd flavor profile against the strong coffee notes. It is also sickeningly sweet, and was overly my main issue. A solid nope for me.

I love savory tea blends, so I was really excited to try this. Unfortunately, it’s oddly sickeningly sweet, with just a spicy aftertaste. The cloying sweetness combined with the spiciness is pretty unappetizing.

So, this is basically a spiced orange Forever Nuts. It’s pretty okay, but borders on an almost bubblegum-like medicinal flavor. It’s very heavy on the clove to my palate, and after a couple sips I got pretty sick of it. I’m glad I tried it, but I definitely don’t think I need to purchase anymore.

Yum! I generally hate rooibos, but I really love this blend. The flavor in the mouth is more of a dingy lemon, but as you start to swallow, there’s a distinctly ‘cakey’ note to it. It’s very much like a lemon cupcake, which was a pleasant surprise.

Thanks to AJRimmer for this one!
I didn’t read the ingredients and added cream, and it curdled. Boo. I drank it anyway, though. Really enjoyed the cup. I could definitely taste the cherry and cocoa notes pretty equally. The more I sipped the more I actually enjoyed it. Very pleasant!

I guess I’m the target audience for August Uncommon, because I’ve loved nearly all of the their teas that I’ve tried thus far. The aroma of this one is definitely smokey (leaning towards the BBQ/savory side of things, but the addition of the banana makes for a pretty well-rounded sip. I’ll definitely be adding cream next cup, as I think it will bring out the caramel/banana notes a bit more.

Unfortunately, this didn’t quite measure up to other Lupicia offerings. I definitely got the sweet peach, but the floral notes were much more distinct than anything else. A pleasant cup, but not quite what I was hoping for.
