S&V Advent Day 15!
The tea base is a little plant-like, not as hearty as I would like. There’s some bergamot here as well, but it’s all a bit bland compared to other EG-inspired blends S&V carries.

There’s something herbaceous in a pleasant way here, and I also taste some fruitiness. I guess I could see this being apple sage! It was pretty interesting! I would definitely drink it again, but the flavors could be more distinct.

This is pretty tart, but not bad. It’s orangey, but a little basic for me to seek out. Still decent cold with sugar! I rated this 30 in the past, but that feels harsh, so I’ll bump it up.

This sort of reminds me of red velvet. I taste some dessertiness, but something a little fake as well. I previously rated this one 45, but I’ll bump it up a bit! This was decent with milk and sugar, but not something I’d seek out again over other cakey teas.

The name is quite accurate! The strongest flavor is a fresh, earthy ginger. Behind that, there’s the tart cranberry. The only thing I’m missing is something to make me think of bubbles. The flavors are super bold, so next time I think I’ll go with less leaf and a shorter steep time.

This is never my favorite flavor profile, but I gave it a try! Yeah, it’s just a little straightforward for me. It tastes like spicy cinnamon, but I feel like there are better options of this flavor profile, and I’d just prefer something else entirely. For a spicy cinnamon tea, this just ends up a little mild.

Well this tea is weird. I’m never a fan of turmeric in tea, but why would they mix it with tart ingredients like hibiscus? It’s just not cohesive at all. It’s drinkable, but I don’t ever need it again. So confusing.

I previously rated this 80, and I stand by that. I’m bad at describing unflavored teas, but I’ll say this is plant-like in a pleasant way. I enjoyed this cold with milk and sugar!

Carpathian Tea Blackcurrant Blend
Kaylee Advent Day 10!
I think I found the right tea online, but the brand name has letters that aren’t on my keyboard, so I’m not going to try to type them. This was a good level of tart, and I could see the fruit being blackcurrant. I did find this to be too thin though. It needed something else in there to give it more body.

I’m drinking this cold with milk and sugar, and it’s quite enjoyable! I taste fruit on a black base, but it’s really well done. I feel like I taste a really distinct raspberry specifically. In some sips, it seems like chocolate covered raspberry, but that’s probably my imagination.
