I was rationing this tea because I only have 100grams and wanted to make it last. But now they are making it permanent, so I can enjoy more often!!

1st steep: 3.5 min, 96degrees, amazing dark chocolate earthy flavour, with hints of orange that are not overpowering. With a little splash of milk…WOW

2nd steep: 5 min, boiling, added a little steamed milk. The flavour is still going strong. Amazing with that extra creaminess from the milk

3rd steep: 10 min, boiling, still great flavour!

Yum! I will have to refill my tin soon!

I like to try all teas hot to begin with. This was very fruity and a bit tart.
Of course, this would be way better cold brewed and sweetened a little. Spring will hopefully be here soon so I can have cold teas!

I should not have listened to the steeping instructions on the package. 98 degrees is way too hot for green tea. This turned into a bitter mess that didn’t even taste floral. It also tasted very artificial.
I am not even going to rate this because that is just not fair on the tea’s behalf.
I will try another time and rate it.

This is smooth, delicate, and sweet

2nd steep: a little earthy from the rooibos but still very good. I steeped it for probably 10 or more minutes

I am liking floral teas more and more, and I was worried about the lavender but I do really like it. It makes me feel dainty drinking it!

Aroma: amazing

1st steep: wow, fruit! Delicious, and I can pick out mango, and pineapple taste. I also taste peach, but there isn’t any peaches…but it is yummy so I guess it doesn’t matter.

2nd steep: 7 min, less fruity but I get more of the buttery creamy oolong flavour coming through here. It is just as delicious as the first steep in a different way. I am not sure what komboucha tastes like, but it seems alright.

I accidentally threw out the leaves before I could get a 3rd steep, next time I guess because I will definitely be re-stocking this oolong. I find I am liking more and more oolongs.

This tisane had a light lemongrass taste, but not even a shining lemongrass taste. For me the taste fell flat.
I still have some sample left, so I will give it one more shot in the future though.

I am upping this rating a little again. For some reason, I had a craving for this last night. And so I decided to try it with some steamed milk…..yummy. The milk really brought out the macademia nuttiness. This really did the trick last night.

Aroma: amazing!

Hot: 1 tsp, boiling, 5 min, yummy pineapple taste and coconut of course. Pretty good, but I think it would be better cold

2nd steep: 10 min, still flavourful enough to be enjoyable

Cold brew: 2 tsp, 12 oz water, the flavours meld really well together but not quite as creamy as I was expecting. It was still good.

Whites are my favourite, but this one was only good for me. I think I was expecting a little more vanilla. It is still fairly sweet and flavourful. I don’t think I will re-stock, but someone suggested cold brewing on here, so maybe I will give that a try.

The leaves were a little more broken than I was expecting, but that was probably from poor mail handling. I am not sure, but I think it took on some of the aroma of the vanilla coconut white tea sample, so this sample may be biased.

1st steep: 1tsp, boiling, 3 min. Light tasting roasty-sweet taste that is a little fruity somehow with a slightly bitter aftertaste (but not unpleasantly so)

2nd steep: boiling, 4 min. A little weak, but still sweet enough to enjoy. I will have to try the 2nd steep a little longer next time I guess
