I’m drinking this cold, and it sort of doesn’t taste like much? There’s some warmth from the turmeric and a slight bitterness from the green tea. It’s pretty plain and savory, and I prefer sweetness in my teas. The ingredients for this one are pretty simple, though, so it makes sense that there isn’t more depth.

The black tea randomly was a little harsh for me, and the blueberry wasn’t as strong as it could have been. I had a Cuppa Geek blueberry black tea recently that was much better, so I can pretty directly compare. Fun to try a cup from the last tea box though!

The flavor here is quite mild, so I may have underleafed or understeeped it. The website didn’t have steeping instructions. At first, I got a light metallic flavor along with something else difficult to identify. Once I added milk, the flavor sort of reminded me of string cheese, but in a good way. There’s also a sort of almost spiced depth here. I enjoyed this one, it was just very mild due to my inexperience. I resteeped it for longer, and the flavor was pure metal, which wasn’t great. Another fun find from a recent tea box!

This certainly smells like a health blend. It’s pretty savory and not that great. I’m trying to drink it quickly, but this cup is neverending. It’s just so herbaceous I find it difficult to imagine the person who would love this.

I was worried this tea would be too simple, but it’s so marshmallowy and delicious! It’s so soft and lightly fruity and fresh. I love it! The main flavors are marshmallow (I don’t know what’s causing that flavor, I guess the vanilla) and a nonspecific fruitiness. The cold resteep is great too. It looks like this company only makes three teas currently, but I may have to try them all, based on how much I’ve enjoyed this one! I love finding new companies through TTBs!

This smelled like it would be the sort of rooibos that I don’t love, and it sort of tastes like that, but the flavoring was nice, so I liked it. Tasty vanilla. It didn’t even need milk. Pretty smooth and nice. I forgot how much I’d enjoyed it without milk and accidentally put some in my next cup of it, which was sadly less delicious. Whoops!

This is quite smoky and meaty. With milk and sugar, it’s drinkable, but I wouldn’t really want a whole mug of this. A few sips is plenty. It’s slightly more nuanced than other lapsang blends, I guess due to the pine, but it’s still too much smoke for me.

This is lightly fruity with a mild black base. No complaints, but also not crazy exciting. The mango tastes fairly accurate and realistic.

This is a little floral for me. It’s okay sweetened with milk, but not as much my sort of thing as some of the other straight teas I’ve been enjoying in this tea box.

For a tea bag, this is actually pretty nice. The ginger is mild, but has a pleasant burn. The lemon isn’t too tart. I’m drinking it cold, and it’s all pretty decent.
