TTB! This tastes pretty plain. My partner noticed a hint of tartness? It wasn’t as bold as I prefer in a black tea, but it still seemed decently high quality.

drank Mango tea by BOH

The mango is pretty juicy and authentic. It’s tasty at room temperature with milk and sugar. Mild black base goes well with the flavoring. Nice random TTB find!

drank Elderflower Citrus by Stash Tea
2711 tasting notes

When it’s warm, I notice a decent amount of chamomile. When it’s cold, I taste a lot of floral flavor, plus some fruitiness. My partner noticed some honey notes. This was much better than I thought it would be, though not something I’d need a whole box of.

Perhaps not a “need”, but… certainly nice that you can luxuriate with cuppa after cuppa!

drank Immunity Chai by Lemon Lily
2711 tasting notes

I love the rosemary in this chai! It adds so much extra intrigue. I resteep almost every tea, but usually only once. After the resteep, the leaves still smelled so strong I had to go for a third! I enjoyed this best warm with soy milk and sugar. For an herbal chai, this is quite satisfying, and I appreciate having a different combination of ingredients.

The black tea is a bit too mild. It’s not bad, I would just like it to be heartier. I made another cup of this and added sugar free peach syrup, and I enjoyed that!

We just bought this for AliasHali and plan to try it soon. I am surprised to hear it is weak. Maybe we will enjoy it with some tweaks! I expected it to builders’ brew!

If I had more, I’d definitely try brewing it longer and stronger!

Yorkshire Gold is formulated a little differently—been a while since I’ve had either, but I think the Gold version is a little brassier, if that’s the flavor profile you prefer in strong teas.

I’ve definitely had this tea somewhere else, so it was funny to be reunited with it during my UK visit. The scent and flavor are super strongly marzipan. It’s best cold with milk and sugar. There was a time when this tea would have been perfect for me, but these days it’s a little one-note for me, with the marzipan super overpowering anything else. My sister really enjoyed it though.

drank Cranberry & Raspberry by Twinings

This was too sour and generic. It was okay cold with sweetener, but not something I’d ever want again. It’s definitely what you’d expect from a standard bagged fruity tea.

drank Lychee with Rose by BOH

Single teabag from a random TTB. The lychee flavor is quite clear, as is the rose flavor. The gentle black base complements the whole. I’m drinking this sweetened cold, and it’s really quite nice.

The ginger flavor is pretty good! The black base is a nice background. The ginger tastes like the powdered ground ginger in a spice cabinet. I’m drinking this at room temperature with milk and sweetener, and it’s quite pleasant!

This is trying to do a lot of different things, and it’s not necessarily succeeding in any of them. I taste a bit of bergamot and a bit of a middle sort of flavor that could be from the almond. There’s certainly no doughnut. I prefer a brighter/stronger bergamot flavor, and I love a twist on EG, but this needed to be developed a little more.

This needs to be an actual donut.

AJRimmer

Yes! I love EG flavored foods!

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
