I’m pretty sure this is just Adagio’s pecan turtle tea. I used to really enjoy that tea, and I don’t know if they changed the recipe or my tastes changed, but I haven’t loved it the last few times I had it. I taste mostly rooibos with some chocolate and nuttiness. It just isn’t as sophisticated or deep tasting as I would like.

drank Pumpkin Juice by Sub Rosa Tea

TTB sample! The spices here are pretty boring. The flavors were better cold, but still basic. It didn’t make me think of pumpkin juice or pumpkin spice.

TTB tea! This is light and appley. At the same time, it has a savory flavor like turmeric that’s not my favorite. The second cup of this I tried tasted like almost nothing. The cold resteep was mostly appley. Looks like it’s the same tea as Adagio’s turmeric bliss.

drank Root Beer by Sub Rosa Tea

It’s my turn with the latest Reddit TTB! I can definitely taste the root beer! The base tea is a little earthy for me. Nice sarsaparilla flavor. Cold, this is pleasant, though I prefer most other soda teas due to not preferring this base tea.

I love root beer teas and this one did not disappoint. Delicious iced with simple syrup. Tastes and smells like root beer. I will have to try it with sparkling water. I had a sample from the Mardi Gras collection. I will definitely buy more since it is seasonal. Will be refreshing in the summer.

Flavors: Root Beer, Sarsaparilla

Weird and interesting that is specifically a Barq’s rootbeer inspired tea…

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!

The flavor is a little murky, but not terrible. There’s a lot of mint and a sort of fake chocolate. I don’t love this rooibos base, but this is fine sweetened with milk.

One of my favorite cold brewed teas. Green tea with big pieces of dried orange, candied mango and pineapple. Very refreshing. I am really impress with Sub Rosa’s tea there is no sugar or artificial ingredients. Another one of my favorite teas cold brewed is Mint Mojito.

Flavors: Mango, Orange, Pineapple

I ordered a four cup sampler of this tea. I wish I had a bigger bag it is delicious. Tastes like a peanut butter cookie. Delicious as a hot latte I will have to try as an iced latte too. It is seasonal part of the Girl Scout cookie collection. I have only tried this one and oatmeal raisin cookie. I ordered a larger bag of the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. Wish I could order the combo pack to try all the teas but I will have to wait till next year I have ordered too many teas lately.

Flavors: Almond, Cinnamon, Cream, Hazelnut, Peanut

This tea is delicious definitely tastes like an oatmeal raisin cookie. I am enjoying it with maple sugar. I have also tried Oatmeal Raisin Cookie from The Necessiteas. I think I like The Necessiteas a little more but this one is a close second. It is unique in that it has lemon, sea salt, raisins, golden raisins and whole milk powder as some of the ingredients. I think the lemon intensifies the other flavors. I will have to try it as a latte too. This tea is seasonal and I have a sample bag from a bundle collection. I just ordered another bag! I am looking forward to trying Rum Cake Black Tea next. I really look forward to trying more of her teas.

Flavors: Cookie, Oatmeal, Raisins, Spices

This is a very good chocolate tea does not taste artificial at all. I love the dark chocolate flavor. The cinnamon and ginger is not too strong. I like that there is no artificial flavors and sweetener . Really good as a latte with almond milk and stevia.

drank Papaya Mango Mate by Sub Rosa Tea
2970 tasting notes

Well the sipdown fever has finally made me crack open this little sample, which I have had for years, and has sat neglected, as it just isn’t my thing.
I don’t like mango, I could care less about papaya, and mate is not something I’ve really tried so far.
But! This was not an unpleasant cup. There was a light fruitiness to it that was actually nice.
Still, I won’t rank it, because its not my thing.
But it is a sipdown, and I am now at 50 teas! Woo!

I’m not a papaya fan either. Holeeee I don’t think I will EVER get to 50. Dedication!

I really like the spices in this tea. It definitely reminds me of cooler weather and begs to be sipped hot with a splash of milk (don’t mind if I do!) There is a touch of sweetness in this tea that I really like.

drank Afternoon Apricot by Sub Rosa Tea

I drank this iced, cold brewed and the apricot really stands out. It looked like a green tea at first because the color did not deepen, but it’s definitely black!

Preparation
Iced 8 min or more

drank Key Lime Ceylon by Sub Rosa Tea
5 tasting notes

Goodness, this tea is great cold-brewed! I brewed it overnight (about 1/2 oz in 1.5 L water) and it couldn’t be any more perfect.
The color of the tea makes it look like a green tea, but it’s black. The key lime flavors really stand out. No sweetener needed.

Preparation
Iced 8 min or more
