This is one of those teas that I need to have one hand (in case of, ya know, a marshmallow emergency). Such a creamy smooth cup, with the genmaicha and marshmallow flavors being equals and not fighting with each sip. Every mouthful is creamy and smooth. Absolutely excellent.

I just don’t really understand this tea. I don’t get any jasmine or creme brûlée, but more of a sour/gone-off flavor. Intense dislike.

Truly my perfect green. If brewed correctly, rich caramel notes and brown sugar are at the forefront, with a mellow vegetal green flavor at the back. So excellent.

This was a most comforting cup first thing in the morning. The pecan pieces are definitely the most prevalent flavor, with the cinnamon chips being more in the aftertaste. I enjoyed the cup, but would’ve liked a more “pie” like flavor, or even an enhancement in the cinnamon department.

Wow. I was extremely pleasantly surprised by this tea. How would ginger and fennel seeds taste like a cookie? Well, it certainly does. It tastes like a snickerdoodle right out of the oven. So, so good. I rarely re-purchase teas anymore, but I will certainly be doing so when I place my next Plum Deluxe order. This is definitely a tea I want to have on hand. I will steep longer next time as well.

Very much a standard peach tea. Not so much the peaches and cream I was expecting. A syrupy stone fruit note, mixed with slight earthiness of the oolong base. Not bad by any means, but somewhat forgettable.

This was another unfortunate miss today for me. The combination of orange and hazelnut came across as somewhat stale tasting. It lacked the richness and complexity I was hoping it would have.

Added half a sugar cube, and a small splash of cream.
I didn’t get a hint of cardamom, which was unfortunate because it’s a flavor I absolutely love. I oddly got a somewhat savory butter aroma and the flavor was a very, very mild vanilla. Not quite the rich, cardamomy vanilla latte I was hoping for.
