This gets great reviews, but it’s really not a favorite so far as EGs go. The black base is decent, but the flavoring reminds me a little of celery. I don’t really taste the flavors I expect in an EG. Not bad cold with milk and sugar, but not one I would need again.

I taste a combo of light chai spices and genmaicha, so it definitely tastes how it promises (minus the marshmallow). Unfortunately, I never really think green tea is a good base for chai. I feel like the spices need a base that provides more oomph. There’s a little bit of toastiness from the toasted rice, but this whole thing is just too mild for me, and sometimes there’s a hint of bitterness despite proper steeping. I wouldn’t mind a black based chai with toasted rice though!

The mint is bright and nice. It’s a bit chocolatey and pleasant cold, though it could be a lot bolder. Not the best and not the worst chocolate mint tea I’ve had. Nice to try from the TTB!

After touring Arundel Castle, we found this tea shop while walking around the town. They say they make their own teas, so I bought almost all their herbal blends. This one is unfortunately not a winner. The fruitiness is just kind of chemically. Combined with the rooibos, it’s just fake and unpleasant. Cold with almond milk is the most palatable way to drink it.

This reminds me of the turtle flavor from a few years ago. I taste chocolate and vanilla. It’s high quality and tasty cold with milk and sugar. I definitely prefer how 52teas does chocolate over any other company. It’s very natural. I liked it, though I’ve preferred other similar 52teas blends.

This is supposed to be rhubarb flavor, and I guess I can see that! Combined with the woodiness of the rooibos, it’s not my favorite, but it’s okay cold! I became obsessed with rhubarb & custard candies, so now I buy every rhubarb thing I see, just chasing that flavor ha.

When I stopped by this tiny tea shop in Brighton, I was actually on my way to a different tea shop. I walked two miles each way to get there, but it turns out the other place is now just a tea manufacturer, so I walked straight into a storeroom, then ran away ha. Disappointing. If I had to guess the flavor for this, it seems a bit like grapefruit. It’s pretty fresh and pleasant. Bright, but not too tart. I wouldn’t mind more of this one!

I had this twice cold, and it sadly never worked for me. The first time, it was much too mild. The second time, it was almost bitter, but the main flavor was the green tea with not too much other flavor shining through. I love white chocolate, and I sadly didn’t taste any here. There was a hint of fruitiness, but everything needed to be stronger.

The purple color is so lovely! The flavor is pretty light, requiring extra powder. The main flavor I taste is lavender, which is really nice. There’s a bit of something else like fruitiness, but I wouldn’t say blueberry specifically, and there’s definitely no macaron. I enjoy having a few herbal powders around for when I don’t have a lot of time, but I don’t think this is ultimately one I would repurchase.

This is a pretty nice EG rooibos. I had it sweetened and cold, and the bergamot combined nicely with the smooth rooibos base. There’s really no reason to seek this tea out over other options, but it was definitely better than some EG rooibos teas I’ve tried.
