Got this from the ‘christmas treats’ sampler. It seems very similar in taste to Le Digestif. I’ll have to compare them both so narrow down which one I want to keep on hand for when I need that minty tea.

Got this from the ‘christmas treats’ sampler. It’s a good chocolate tea with some nutty taste. Chocolate tea isn’t really my thing, but I liked this one.

Got this from the ‘christmas treats’ sampler. Smells like almond pastry filling. I like it.

Got this from the ‘christmas treats’ sampler. Holly cinnamon! That’s just too much cinnamon for me.

Minty black tea with subtle vanilla aroma, my favorite black so far (although I’ll have to give ‘Mocha Orange Biscotti’ another try as I wasn’t yet taking notes when I had that one, and I kinda remember liking it).

Got this as a free sample with an order I placed. Peachy. Delicate tea without any ‘in-your-face’ flavor/aroma. Maybe a little too bland?

Pretty good. I’m not a huge fan of spiced tea, but I’ll have this over ‘The Spice is Right’.

Got this from the ‘christmas treats’ sampler. I suppose it’s ok for someone who likes spiced tea, but it’s not for me.

Got this from the ‘christmas treats’ sampler. Meh, it’s ok, I’ll have the other half of it another time, but it’s not going on my list to buy.

Good. Nothing to be overly excited about, but it’s ok.

Bio

I started drinking tea in spring of 2017 in an effort to reduce my coffee/pop consumption while getting some of the benefits from tea. I’m still just exploring various teas and trying to figure out what I like most.

I’m far from a tea connaisseur/enthusiast. My notes are not meant to be a review for the tea community, but rather for myself so I know what to buy or not buy again (I wish there was a way to keep notes private).

That being said, I’ll try to stick to these guidelines when I rate teas (copied from Kittenna):

100: This tea is amazing and I will go out of my way to keep it in stock.

85-99: My core collection (or a tea that would be, if I was allowing myself to restock everything!) Teas I get cravings for, and drink often.

75-84: Good but not amazing; I might keep these in stock sparingly depending on current preferences.

67-74: Not bad, I’ll happily finish what I have but probably won’t ever buy it again as there’s likely something rated more highly that I prefer.

51-66: Drinkable and maybe has some aspect that I like, but not really worth picking up again.

34-50: Not for me, but I can see why others might like it. I’ll make it through the cup and maybe experiment with the rest to get rid of it.

0-33: It’s a struggle to get through the cup, if I do at all. I will not willingly consume this one again, and will attempt to get rid of the rest of the tea if I have any left.
