Very strong aroma of cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom and gloves right after getting the eta bag out of the wrapper.
Also very strong after steeping, very spicy, but with no trace of matcha (obviously, since it’s only 2% of the package). The whole aroma profile reminds me of roasted apples with spices. Very warming, very winter-y.
The taste is also fruity, but not with apple, rather with the orange peels. Plus obviously all the spice extravaganza along with the spicy bite from black pepper.

To sum up: very tasty warming tea made with fresh, aromatic ingredients. I wish it had ore proper tea, but it’s still great.

With my first brewing I wanted to drink it neat. Next time I’ll try to brew it in the proper chai way.

Edit: I brewed it in the proper chai way, sweet and with milk (rice milk; iI’m not vegan, but recently I somehow don’t like dairy in my teas and coffees).
And it’s delicious! Smoth, sweet, full-bodied, rich, with solid peppery spiciness and the rest of the spices. A perfect winter warmer.

Malt, honey and strawberry jam in aroma.
The taste is malty and fruity, with no sweetness. Nice brew where the fruity flavours don’t overshadow the base tea.

Balanced aroma with base malty black tea, raspberry and passionfruit.
Very watery, bland taste, barely giving the impression of drinking black tea and with only slight traces of fruit.
Well, it’s Lipton, I didn’t expect much, but certainly more than this.

Very delicate herbal aroma.
And so delicate, faint, watery taste.There are some flowery and herbal sensations, but way too weak. It’s like drinking water, not a herbal steep. Huge disappointment, because I was really looking forward to taste this particular blend.

The bundle consists almost entirely of flower inflorescences.
Smells really nicely, flowery, with oregano and wild thyme dominating.
Unfortunately the taste is very faint, watery (I brew all the herbal teas from the set in the same cup and using the same amount of water. There are some nice herbal and flowery nuances, but certainly not enough.

Interesting composition. Very leafy, with strong bison grass notes, a bit flowery, a bit summer-y. Too bad I don’t sense the pine shoots much in the aroma.
But they are very evident in taste. Fortunately I beer geek and I love heavily hopped beers with a lot of bitterness, because this tea is really bitter (in a lingering way, that get’s a bit unpleasant). And has a lot of bison grass flavours.
Good idea and good choice of ingredients, but I would limit the pine shoots amount a little.

Very flowery aroma, with lavender and (I presume) heather and hawthorn flowers in the foreground.
Plus a lot of lemon balm in the taste. It indeed is a very soothing, relaxing herbal composition

Brews into a beautiful brown colour, like black tea.
The aroma is heavily dominated by mint, with only traces of sage and oregano (I have no idea how sideritis should smell like).
The taste is more balanced, very herbal, a bit leafy, very soothing and refreshing.

Strong aroma, herbal, straw-like, flowery.
Very leafy taste, delicate, melllow.
I’m not a herb expert, so it’s hard for me to describe more sensations, but the tea surely is interesting.

Blend of two herbs I never tasted before.
Strange herbal aroma, a bit like mint, a bit like sage, a bit soapy.
Distinct taste, soapy, chamomile-like, slightly sweet.
As a one-time brew it’s nice and unique, but I probably wouldn’t like to drink it more often.
