TTB sample! This seems to be chocolate cherry flavored, which I didn’t expect from the name. The cherry flavoring is one I see frequently and don’t really enjoy. The same is true of this particular chocolate flavoring. Together, it tastes a little fake and like alcohol. It does also sort of remind me of the chocolate covered cherries my family would have around the holidays, but I never liked those.

This has a flavor that almost tastes like bitter oversteeped tea, but it’s an herbal, so I wasn’t sure what that was from – maybe the chicory? I enjoy the spice combination used here, so with milk and sugar, this is tasty enough apart from the bitterness. The resteep was strong and similar to the first. I don’t taste much pear, just spices and the bitterness. I couldn’t really recommend over other spiced herbals.

I wouldn’t call this carrot cake. I taste something weirdly fruity along with a little bit of spices. So it ended up being a sort of randomly fruity rooibos. It was okay!

Teabag from a TTB! I’m drinking this at room temperature with milk and sugar, and I have to say that I’m just as satisfied with it as many loose leaf decaf EGs. The black tea is hearty enough. The bergamot is clear and tasty. I’d consider buying a box of this if I came across one! The resteep was good too.

I always skipped this one when ordering because I don’t love coconut, but I received it as a free sample in my last order. Ha the sales tactic worked because I now intend to order some! The flavor is so desserty. I taste coconut, but in a delightful, almost cupcake frosting sort of way. I don’t think macaroon specifically, but this is very tasty and well executed.

From a Sips by box. I taste the strawberry and the green tea. It’s a pretty straightforward blend. Though the base isn’t the most delicious green tea I’ve found, I’m really enjoying the strawberry flavoring, and I think the branding is unique and fun. Cold, this is pretty enjoyable!

TTB sample! I was dubious about this one based on the scent alone, but I ended up enjoying it! It’s a little mapley and pretty desserty. I feel like I get mostly a brown sugar vibe from it. Nice with milk and sugar!

I taste a lot of cardamom, though the base itself is a bit thin. I also may taste a bit of ginger and hints of other spices. I got this sample in a TTB, and only about 1.5 teaspoons remained, so maybe I should have put in even less water than I did. Average, though enjoyable.

I totally get the Mexican candy vibe this is going for. In some sips, I taste a really nice combo of slightly sour candylike watermelon plus that kick of heat. I just wish there could be a smaller amount of beet in there because often it overpowers the other flavors. Definite points for creativity on this one.

I didn’t love this before adding milk, but with milk and sugar, I’m having a good time! It’s fruity, a bit spiced, and so realistic and pleasant. I enjoy this red and green rooibos mixture! The second steep was tasty too. The spice blend was typical for 52teas, but quite nice. I feel like I taste banana more than pear, but I like banana!
