195 Tasting Notes

When I did my leaf sniff test I was concerned about the excessively sweet raspberry scent I detected. But after steeping, I only detected the almond flavoring. Pretty sure my head cold is messing with me still. But I think this is one I would do again.
Flavors: Almond

The best part of these calendars is you get to try so many different teas. So far, I’ve not wanted to “dump the mug” yet. Some I’ve found meh and others I’ve really liked and some are in between.
I liked this one quite a bit. The ingredient listing made me think it was going to be too sweet for my taste. I found it just sweet enough. The strawberry flavors really do compliment the jasmine.Flavors: Jasmine, Strawberry

I sipped this one on my way to a very busy day at work. So I ended up sipping it scalding and then later on when it was tepid from sitting on my desk and then microwaved to warm up. The tea had a lovely caramel and chai flavoring. I don’t detect coffee notes and I’m okay with that.
Flavors: Caramel

I love the name and now I want to watch Ghostbusters again. I liked this tea well enough. True to indication, it reminds me of a French toast casserole. I’ve got a bit of a cold so I think my sense of taste is off. I might purchase this one in the future to give it another go.
Flavors: Maple Syrup

Kind of knew that I might not like this one. Cucumber is not meant to be in teas. It wasn’t a tea I dumped out but it’s definitely not on my buy again list. But if you like Cucumber infusions, it probably is one you might like
Flavors: Cucumber

I wasn’t sure what to make of the ingredient list this morning and my first sip was a dubious one. A few sips in, I definitely decided it was a favorite. I don’t care for hot spices much and I worried that the chili pepper would be too much for me. However, they were very understated and I felt it worked well with chocolate and strawberries. I will say, this is the first chocolate flavored tea I’ve enjoyed.
Flavors: Chocolate, Clove, Ginger, Strawberry

I really enjoyed this one. I liked the flavor combination of almonds, pistachios, and cranberries. I don’t detect the rose petals at all, which is good as I don’t usually care for rose teas.
Flavors: Almond, Cranberry, Marzipan

This was a light, bright tea. Definite citrus and lemongrass flavor and scent. I didn’t detect any mango which was a tad disappointing. I enjoyed this one though.
Flavors: Citrusy, Lemongrass
