This is my first taste of Teaopia! But……Purolator really made me mad, they didn’t even attempt to deliver the package and then when I tracked my package 2 days after they were supposed to deliver it, I found it that it has been at Purolator for 2 days already. GRRRRRR.

Anyway, sorry about that, on to the tea.
This tea was really good, creamy, nutty, slightly sweet but not too sweet.
The buttery oolong comes through as well. What a tasty treat!

2nd steep: 95degrees, 4 minutes, still just as good of a cup, I taste more of the oolong, still sweet and nutty.

3rd steep: boiling, 5 minutes, growing a little weaker, but still very good

This does taste quite a bit like walnut banana bread.
I don’t mind this tea, but I am still not the biggest fan of banana in tea. I don’t know why because I really like bananas. I guess maybe it always tastes a little fake to me.
Anyway, back to the tea….it has a slight bitter walnut taste.
Don’t oversteep this or it will be very bitter.
An interesting addition to the winter collection, won’t be too sad when it is gone.

As much as I am not a fan of hibicus, I got 25g of this to try.
I cold brewed this, and I will be getting more for sure.
The hibiscus actually works well here with the citrus, making a nice grapefruity tea.
It is still too cold here, but spring is soon here, and this will be great when it is warmer out.
I added a bit of stevia on the last sip and it was alright but I actually like this one tart.

I am not usually a fan of banana teas, other than snow bunny, but this was fairly good.
The flavours really complement each other, the sweetness of the banana and stevia with the smooth, creamy, butter taste of the oolong.
I like how each flavour isn’t too strong, they are both just right.
2nd steep: 7min, 95degrees, lost most of the banana flavour but it is still tasty buttery oolong

This was better than I was expecting it to be.
I didn’t get any jellybeans in my scoop, but it was still very good.
I definitely taste the coconut, and it is a little creamy, which is good.
It is a little gimmicky but it is fun anyway.
It is a nice dessert-y treat at the end of the day.

As I suspected, the hibiscus took over the taste and became too bitter for me.
I am glad that I only got 10grams.
The dude at DTs suggested to ice it so I will do that before I say buh-bye to this tea.
Sorry, I didn’t find paradise in this one David. :(

This one is suprisingly good. I only got 12grams because I am not the biggest fan of ginger, and the hibiscus sounded a little scary.
It isn’t as bitter or ginger-y as I thought. The strawberry and lemon come out more than I was expecting. An unexpected taste for me!
I might have to get some more.

This one smells so good.
It is fruity, I have no idea what mangousteen is supposed to taste like, but for me, this tea tastes a little fake.
This tastes a little like the Green & Fruity rooibos to me.
2nd steep: 85degrees, 4 min, weaker taste but still ok.

This is a good walnut tea. A little tad bitter but that is the way walnuts are supposed to taste.
Adding a smidgen of milk makes it a nice treat but I usually like my teas “naked”.
I don’t really taste the cloves or orange, but I do taste the cinnamon and it is a nice compliment.

I cold brewed this overnight.
This is quite good, but I think I like red rooibos better.
It is refreshing though and I can taste the papaya and mango.
