I got some samples from the kind people at Epi Tea and this was one of them. It was the first Irish Breakfast I’ve tried and I have to say I like it! It’s a smooth black tea blend. Very nice if you just need a moment to yourself!

When I opened the pouch to this I was expecting a floral smell.. not even close. I smelled something fruity… something familiar.. I had to look up the ingredients and found there was coconut in it! I had a hugh “AH HAH!” moment. The taste is sweet. I can pull out hints of coconut, some floral notes, and some sweet oolong. A very tasty tea!

This is one of my favorite teas from The Tea Grotto. You would think that there were a lot of fake ish tasting flavors in this tea, but surprisingly there isn’t! It has a very, very light strawberry cream flavor with a slight bitter aftertaste. The cool thing about this tea is you can still get hints of the green tea. I imagine it would be pretty tasty with some milk and sugar :]

I was expecting a lot of fake flavors with this tea. But it actually tastes like real raspberries. It has a ruby red liquor and a very sweet-tart smell. The taste is very juicy with a slight tart aftertaste. Excellent iced or hot! Honestly, this is one of the best Teavana teas I’ve ever had.

I woke up slightly grumpy this morning. I went to the kitchen to start the kettle and saw a tin of this staring at me, begging to be made. I grumpily gave in. Once my water was at the correct temperature I opened the tin to find beautiful little rose buds. My mood lightened at the sight of them. But no. I was determined to be grumpy. After about 2 minutes I poured it into my delicate tea pot and then into my little blue cup. The aroma was wonderful and would not give up until I cracked a smile.. the taste.. so light.. so soft.. so florally.. hints of jasmine and rose.. a sweet flavor from the white tea.. this tea was so.. delicious.. I gave in.. this tea instantly made me give up my grumpy mood and let me have a peace of mind feeling. Well.. that and Enchanted by Taylor Swift :] I feel like her music and white teas go together quite well!
TL;DR: This tea is amazing. And so is Taylor Swift.. :D

I got this as a sample with my package. The smell was wonderful! The first sip I thought “Oh.. It just tastes like another black tea.. I can’t really find the vanilla..” right after that thought..BAM… the vanilla hit my tongue! Very smooth and creamy with a slight bitter finish :] For me this would make an excellent morning tea!

I was expecting a bit more from this tea. It was ok. I couldn’t really find any chocolate, just mint. Wish I could say more, but I just wasn’t impressed by this one..

The smell of this tea reminds me of those chocolate orange sticks that come around during Christmas time! The flavor of this tea is kind of weak but you can still taste the chocolate with a hint of citrus(but it’s still very light..). This tea is a solid ok. Not the worst I’ve had and not the best either.

This tea smells delicious! It has a caramel taste that comes off a bit bitter and the aftertaste is where you can find the pear and a hint of chocolate. It is a very nice blend of flavors. A delicious treat if you’re looking for a dessert tea!

This is one of my favorite pu-erhs. It has a wonderful earthy flavor followed by a sweet/slightly tart fruit flavor. Honestly it’s a weird taste but it blends very well together! It’s really, really good iced, too!
I got about 3 steeps out of this tea with just a tad of flavor lost on the third.
