Oh boo, I only bought one bag of this! It was delicious!!! I tried making it iced, but ran out of cubes… and time! so ended up with lukewarm tea.
Nonetheless, it was delicious, but vague. I’m sure the agave helped :P
Neither the blueberry nor pomegranate were distinct though I could definitely taste the “white”. The lack of crispness was no bother, not while it was cold(ish).
Anyhow, if I could find a real version of this tea in looseleaf… you can be sure I would buy it :)

what whaaaaaaat!!
this tastes like pancakes!!!!!!! so good. I was worried it would be buttery in the way that buttered rum from DTs is, but no this is buttery in just the right way! It’s like liquid pancake, with butter on top (and not butter with a dab of pancake like I had feared!)
And the “pancake” flavour, well there is no way to describe it other than that… how they managed to get the flavour into a tea is beyond me, especially since it isn’t super sweet, but just right.
The bit of astringency in the finish is nice to, reminding me that this is a tea and not some delicious breakfast in a cup!
This is my first 52teas cuppa, so I’m kinda in novelty shock here :)
Any other day this might get a lower rating, but I am in just he right mood for it today, and since it’s the first time I am trying it, well it’s just perfect in this moment!
Thanks a million to PoliticalMachine for sending me this sample! I’m very impressed.

Ehhhhh, I can see why this tea is soon to be discontinued.
The rooibos was so strong in this that I could hardly taste anything else. I think she added too much. The chocolate was a background note, and I could smell, but not taste the citrus.
There was a point where I almost threw it out, but then it got a little better as the flavours mellowed some.
It might not be so bad with milk, but I doubt the chocolate or citrus would come through.
This wasn’t terrible, but not great either… oh and I’m being harsh on this cause my Kalahari does so much better. It still deserves a decent rating overall!

I can’t remember all the details of what went into this tea, they haven’t got it listed on the website… but I know there was pineapple and coconut, and rose-hips, but what else, I cannot recall. Not that it matters, I love it!!!! Pina Colada is an all time favourite of mine. Well, no coconut is, and therefore so is Pina by default :)
The balance of flavours is perfect. Strong, but not overly. The rosehips add that little bit of “tea” that would otherwise be missing.
The only part I disliked was the tartness as it cooled, but my cup was almost empty by then anyhow!
I so wish I could buy this tea to take home.

One of the last black teas I have yet to try at this shop… except the ginger one, no no I won’t go there, unless I am down with sniffles!
Anyhow, this was nice. The caramel was very subtle, but firmly present. It reminded me of teas that have caramel notes to them, only more pronounced and it was more natural than the other caramel teas I’ve tried.
In astringency and boldness it was rather light. I wish the boldness of the tea had been stronger, but that is just my preference.
Overall, I quite liked it! but it wasn’t far off from my Creme Brulee and that is a rooibos. The caffeine punch was certainly missing from this black tea!! Oh well, it is what it is.

This is quite an intense tea! and a mood tea as well. This is not something that I would have often, but when I reach for it, I will savour it.
Anyhow, in this minute, I’m really enjoying it. Yum!!!
I oversteeped it a tad so the flavours are stronger than I’d like, but that is my bad.
It’s spicy, to be sure, and sweet… and relaxing. Hmmm, I think maybe I will actually catch up on some sleep tonight :)
The cinnamon is strong, but leaves room for the orange and something flowery that I assume is the rose-hips. I’m getting a lingering hint of chamomile/orange in the finish as well.
There is a frog croaking outside my window, rather loudly… but I think it’s kindof soothing, the chatter lends a fitting ambiance for my tea moment :)
Thanks again QuiltGuppy for this tea experience, this is lovely!

At work… work work work!
This is a nice and light Early Grey. I cannot stand the bagged variety… and that’s pretty much all I’ve tried except the rooibos version I have… so this was a pleasant surprise :)
I haven’t had a chance to truly savour it, and I added milk just to see what it was like that way, and well it isn’t good! I liked it much better without. It’s almost pu’erh like, which makes me think that maybe the milk is turning. I need to try it again without, and a touch of agave.
So…. it isn’t fair for me to rate this one just yet.
Thankyou QuiltGuppy for the new tea experience!!

wowsa, was this ever smooth!! I got a tad of the normal tea/wearing sensation, but nothing like the crude abrasiveness I experienced with the T&T variety awhile back. YUMMM!!!
The barley flavour was just strong enough that I craved more, and the roasted flavour was not overdone either. This is rich in calcium, and tasty… AND great iced. The aroma is intoxicating to.
This is love… well, as much love as I could have for an iced tea. There is something about holding a hot beverage that will always have a special place in my heart. err, stomach. err hands! yes, that’s it… :P

Hmmm, I’m not sure which version of this tea they served… so I’ll pick one of the three listed at random.
The tapioca was a tad mushy, but the tea was fabulous!!! and with the milk (after my previous dairy free experience) it was better than I had dared to hope :)
There was a distinct floral aspect, almost jasmine-ish in my opinion, but I didn’t mind because of the milk.
I think I enjoy the osmanthus more though, I wonder if they would serve that with milk as well?? oh and I found out that the osmanthus I purchased not long ago from their store is not the same as what they use for the bubble tea! She showed me the tin it comes out of, and the price tag said $38, which is double what I paid! and my bag had double the content… sheesh, that is some expensive tea.

yet another tea I’m glad to have tried, but will never purchase again. It was oddly enchanting yet dissatisfying all at once. Some sips were overbearing in bitterness and lemon, whereas others were lemony perfection. The difference, I think, was that at times it was rind-like, and others, lemon-juice like… with my preference for the latter.
Moreover, I would have surely enjoyed this more with a dash of sugar, but it was far too hot for a sample sip before leaving the store.
Oh and this doesn’t go well with milk, right? well, I enjoy my tea with milk! points taken off for that…
bah! This was followed up with a Ten Rens tea so it was not a total tea failure!
