Sooooo much better than Jumpy Monkey (my first maté). The first whiff of this stuff in the bag reminds me of nail polish for some reason, but then the raspberries and chocolate kick in and it’s quite nice! It tastes like how I would imagine a good chocolate tea should taste like. Not overly sweet or fake-tasting chocolate, and I love how it works with the maté. The raspberries are nice but they don’t seem to last through a second steeping. Overall, I will definitely keep this around for when I work evening and graveyard shifts. Just enough kick to get me through the night, since coffee (my love) dehydrates the hell out of me when I work nights (for some reason).

DT keeps sending me this as a sample in online orders. Not as bland this time.

This smells exactly like cinnamon hot chocolate from my childhood; bonus points for that. It’s mild and tasty, but I will brew it longer next time. I am enjoying the cinnamon aftertaste though. This tea is enjoyable, but probably forgettable for me.

This smells and tastes like sticking your head in a jar of honey.

Every time I drink this I try to appreciate it, but I don’t know what I’m missing. This blend tastes kind of bland, the almond stands out a little bit amidst the straw taste. I’ve been working through 100g of this stuff and I’m still not in love.

This is a run-of-the mill OP. With a little bit of milk and sweetner, it’s just okay.

I’ve been sacrificing the last of my tin for iced tea. I throw several teaspoons in a 1 litre heat-safe water bottle with hot water and steep it overnight in the fridge (7 or 8 hours). Strain and sweeten in the morning, and try not to drink it all on the drive to work. This tea is slightly sour hot or cold, so I always add a touch of agave nectar however I drink it. There is a mild creaminess when it’s iced. Very delicious!

Letting the tea steep overnight for iced tea – thanks for the tip! I ought to try this with some of my favourites.

I received a sample of this in my last two orders. Not something I would buy, and definitely does not fit my tastes. Too minty in a gross, overly sharp way.

No regrets with this tea. Buttery and smooth, great with milk and brown sugar. I desperately need to try this with rum…

When I opened the bag for the first time I was not liking the strong citrus scent. It’s quite overpowering until you brew it. Then it becomes mellow and delicious! I bought 100 grams of this and it probably won’t last me long considering how tasty this tea is. You can really taste the goosberries and citrus, and there is a slight creaminess to it that blends well with the mint. I have been leaving the tea in while I drink it and it doesn’t turn bitter. In fact, the taste really gets going after steeping it for at least 6 mins. Excellent with agave nectar.
