Tea for All Reasons

This is one of a few of Tea for All Reasons’ teas that is obviously influenced by an offering from Davidstea, but as a chocolate-cherry concoction as opposed to David’s cinnamon, I was more intrigued by this version. I’m not going to make any sweeping statements since I prefer to try a tea a few times before declaring whether I like it, but this seems promising.

As I drink this more, I notice more subtleties. To be sure, the tea base is nearly flavorless and the added flavoring doesn’t live up to it’s name, but it’s a pleasant enough cup if you don’t expect any authentic maple or blueberry tastes.

I’ve found a failure from my usually-beloved Tea for All Reasons! The scent is artificial, more like a sugarless blueberry candy than anything, and the taste is… non-existent, in terms of flavoring. Simply a too-bitter black tea that wishes it was flavorful.

After waking up with a cold and doing school work all day, this is definitely hitting the spot. When I first smelled it in the package, I was scared I wouldn’t like it, because it smells exactly like cinnamon gum (artificial and not too appetizing). I was pleasantly surprised with my first sip. You definitely taste the cinnamon, and the vanilla makes it creamy. I added a little agave nectar which was the perfect addition. I’ve already had two cups. I’m very happy.
