A good general Earl Grey. Bergamot not too strong. Tea is pleasant, not particularly bitter. Has a nice aroma. More than anything else I love the amazing price tag on this guy. When I’m broke I’ll buy bulk where I can, and this definitely gives me my fix when on a budget. Great morning tea.

drank Vanilla Caramel by Bigelow
46 tasting notes

Was one of my favorites until dietary changes, realized there were dairy esters in it. Had a great flavor with sweetened original almond milk, kind of bitter or funky without. Good desert tea if you’re in the habit of adding a creamer/milk, but I think it needs it. Sweet, the caramel is obvious. The vanilla was almost too much for me, but I’m not the biggest fan of stand alone vanilla unless the “mood strikes”.

I’m a little sad about this being one of my favorite teas. I don’t usually like herbal, I don’t usually go for mint, and I’m very much a black tea fan. All of these things said, I think this is killer with almond milk. Great for when my stomach is a bit upset, or just when the mood strikes and I don’t need any more caffeine. A little sweet, all peppermint all the way. Sometimes tempted to mix this with cocoa to see what happens. Fair warning: I find spearment “yucky”, so as mint tea goes, this is totally my bag (hah… erm…).

drank Tulsi Green Tea by Organic India
46 tasting notes

This is one of my absolutely favorite teas (unless I brew it too strong). It has kind of a semi-sweet, earthy/grassy component to it, almost has an incredibly delicate citrus backnote? It’s really difficult to pin. Tulsi itself is supposed to be an adaptogen and have all kinds of beneficial properties (immune system, energy, etc). I adore it. Not sure when I got hooked on it but always keep a box or two handy. I should probably add I’m not a big fan of green teas (prefer black with a shot of almond milk) but this still blew me away.

Early on, when I was first exploring black tea, this was one of my favorites. I’ve loved several RoT varieties, and this had an earthy quality I really appreciated. Since however I’ve changed my general impression of this tea. While solid, and still one of my go-tos, it’s considerably less so (more of a back-up). The quality of the flavoring pales in comparison to even many of ROT’s other teas, but it’s also become a bit too weak for my taste. While I prefer black not so bitter, this one just doesn’t have half the kick I’m looking for.
