Okay. So, I really like this. A lot.

It’s sweet, a little creamy and chocolate-y, but that’s subtle. And the anise brings a bit of spice. It’s not dull, but it’s also not overwhelmingly flavorful. It’s just a nice, quiet, delicious cup of tea.

I don’t know… I don’t really see what all the fuss is about with this one. I do really enjoy dessert teas, I love Banana Dream Pie, but this just isn’t exciting to me. It’s very tasty, and I will have no trouble drinking the rest of the small sample I got from my friend, but I don’t think I’d order this one.

EDIT: I might like the second steep more. The flavor is more subtle, but still sweet and yummy.

I have to hold off on rating this one… I took it to work in my go-cup, and while I enjoyed it tremendously (especially the smell, oh my GOD), I feel I should wait to give it a rating until I’ve prepared it properly, in my perfect mug.

But I did drink this today, and thought it was absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to have more.

Currently drinking the second steep of this one, and it was delicious. First steep was considerably better, but the second steep still has some of that wonderful roasty raspberry almond flavor. I generally don’t drink a whole lot of caffeine, but I would consider ordering this for days when I need a bit of a boost.

I had this in my go-cup after visiting with my friend yesterday afternoon. It was amazingly blueberry-y, but I much prefer the berry flavor in Prairie Berry. And I think I prefer the oolong base. But still a delicious tea, I had no problem finishing it. Yum!

I got my best friend into loose leaf tea last week, and she just went to DavidsTea over the weekend and picked up a bunch of stuff. Today, she sent me home with little samples of a few different varieties. This is the first one I made for myself, and WOW. I wasn’t really sure what to think from the smell, it had an overwhelming alcohol smell and I was quite impressed… but not sure it would be for me. But the taste is so buttery and sweet and delicious, I am blown away. Delicious tea, as everyone before me has said. I think we are getting a tin of this in our next order.

Two pretty decent steeps from this tonight. First steep was definitely better, but my second steep was still quite tasty. I love this tea, especially in the evening, and I can’t wait to get my tin this week. I’m already wondering if 100g is enough, haha!

I managed to get three delicious steeps out of this today, chocolate-y and banana-y and fantastic. I am seriously regretting not ordering more of this, because it is damn good.

Did you notice any loss in chocolate flavor between steeps? I love stormy night, but thought all the chocolate dissolved in the first steep. Also, do you think they will keep this one on the menu for awhile, even though it’s seasonal?

Yeah, I think it’s less chocolate-y, maybe… but not really in a bad way. I think it retains it’s flavor alright. I was also adding honey, which may have helped keep it tasting sweet and dessert-y. I don’t normally add honey.

Tealizzy

Thanks! I’ll have to try this one!

I’m still coughing. It’s getting ridiculous. So… more Prairie Berry tea with honey for this puppy. I’m learning to appreciate the bit of honey, even though I prefer it without. This is such a great, flavorful tea. Big fan, I’ll be sad when my 50g is done.

Hello, Movie Night. Thanks for being delicious, as usual. I needed that tonight. I’m going to bed early and I WILL wake up feeling better tomorrow. I will.
