I didn’t think much of this tea when I first tried it, but it has steadily grown on me. The base tea seems less problematic, the mango flavor is more present. Knocking up my rating of it a bit.

Steeped this too long and now it tastes like licorice? There is not the least bit of licorice in this tea, it’s just oolong leaf.

This is me trying and failing to talk myself out of drinking Paris at 11 o’clock at night. The craving for the cherry berry chocolaty-ness is just too strong.

Realizing several cups later that this tea is significantly better if, when following the 1 tsp. instructions, you whompingly heap the teaspoon and then maybe add a pinch more. The flavor still doesn’t live up to the aroma (if we were rating teas by smell here, this would score 100. Chocolate and oranges, deeeeeelicious) but at least you can start to see the resemblance.

This is the last of it! And I’m not sorry to see it go. While it was never a bad tea, I just couldn’t work up any fondness for it. Oh well, part of exploring new flavors is discovering what you don’t like.

There’s one thing in particular I look for in a vanilla tea. And that’s vanilla. Wish this tea was more vanilla-y.

My tastes seem to be in flux, because now I think I prefer this to Twinings’ version.

Something about the ginger/lemongrass/coconut combo makes this the perfect pick-me-up tea.

Perfect cup for a gray morning.

Sipdown. This is the last of the sample, and I’m suddenly sorry to see it go. It took me three tries to get used to it. Hmmm. I might have to buy more after all.
