This tea has so much potential and yet it just does not deliver. I do taste the maple and the cinnamon and the nutmeg, but no berries and no apple. I think I like the spice profile on the peach cobbler better and that got my vote today. Its kinda cool tasting two teas per day and voting with others to see which tea advances.

Part of the matcha madness this month. The dry leaf smells amazing and much like a pie. The first steep tasted very cobbler-like, cinnamon and nutmeg and vanilla. Not so much peach. The second steep is just a muted version of the first. A nice cuppa, not sure I’d purchase.

I had too little water for the first steep, and too much for the second, but both were very cinnamony. I like the big red cinnamon flavor, but that’s just a single note here. An enjoyable cup, but I’m not sure I need this in my cupboard.

I tried a bag from the TTB and then bought a box online. This tea isn’t bad, it has a bit of an astringent bite so you know it is tea, and a nice jammy note at the end. I might prefer Taylor’s Assam for a caffeine kick, but this is a close second for a nice cuppa from a bag.

Advent tea pouch. I split this into two sessions and am liking this one better than the first. It’s a decent oolong, grassy, sweet, buttery and metallic. Not something I’d gravitate toward, but still a nice cup.

Hey I finished this! Wish it had more ginger. Better than some bagged chai but I don’t need to drink this again.

The issue with this tea is: can I remember that it becomes more chocolatey as it cools and can I wait that long before I start sipping. If I can do that, this is a nice daily drinker

This is earl grey for those who don’t like astringent black tea or bergamot. Mellow and brightly citrus, I wasn’t too sure when I got the first bag, but somehow another bag found itself into my BF order. Not a splashy, exciting tea, but a nice daily drinker with an ear worm song title that makes me smile. If you didn’t grow up in the 70s you might not remember the catchy tune Good Morning Starshine, but I think someone at Maya is of a ahem certain age. :)

I got this as a gift a few years ago so I might try and finish it off. It was a nice gift assortment, except for the Earl grey and the hicaf teas with stevia. I appreciate the cinnamon and am reminded of Celestial’s Cinnamon Express, but this stevia aftertaste ruins the cup. Don’t need to drink this again, but I am much more awake :)

This was a serving I grabbed from the TTB as I was trying to limit the weight. I guess I liked this one enough to grab some, and I can see why. It’s creamy lavender with a hit of coconut aftertaste. Not getting a whole lot of chocolate here, but maybe there is some lurking in the background. It is a comfort cup and I would add it to an order. Thanks to whoever put it in the box!
