I really wanted to like this. Chocolate + chilis is generally something that would be ranked as good in my book. Unfortunately, as a tea it’s just weird and unpleasant.

Drank a cup of this with ice today since it’s warm out. Really nice lightly floral tea. I like that it’s not so overwhelmingly floral as to be soaplike. Tempted to brew up a whole pitcher of it.

This is a good berry tea. Lately I’ve been making iced tea with two peach tea bags and two huckleberry tea bags. Sadly, I only have one bag of the huckleberry left. Guess I’ll have to go buy some more True Blueberry instead.

I’m not normally a fan of citrusy teas, but I like grapefruit, so I thought I’d try this. Unfortunately, whether or hot or cold, this just tastes . . . weird. I guess there is a bit of a grapefruit taste, but I don’t find that it mixes well with the green tea flavor. I’d rather have some grapefruit juice.

I love the smell of this tea. It’s like opening a can of coconut milk. It’s got lots of ingredients, but I mostly taste the coconut and cardamom. Very good with soy milk and sweetener. It’s decaf, so I don’t have to worry about drinking it late at night.

This tea is what got me through a job where I had to be at work at 7:45 AM to make change and write receipts.

After drinking Celestial Seasonings’ Gingerbread Spice holiday tea, I looked up the line of products on their website and saw that they had one called Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride. This sounded pretty delicious, and so began the search for this tea in grocery stores. I finally found it in a grocery store in Aledo, Texas, while on Christmas vacation.
The tea does have a sugar cookie and vanillay flavor. It’s a bit sweet already, so I wouldn’t recommend adding more than half a packet of sweetener at the most. While I do think this tea tastes like what it claims to taste like, I’m not actually sure if I like it all that much. It’s a bit too sweet and buttery in flavor. I certainly couldn’t drink more than one cup of this.
Not a terrible tea, but I probably wouldn’t buy it again after this box runs out. (If I ever manage to drink it all . . .)

This tea from Miro Tea in Seattle is one of my favorites. It has nice big pieces of ginger and cinnamon and brews up with a pleasant scent and taste of ginger. The cinnamon’s not overpowering in an artificial way like in some cinnamon teas. I’ll probably buy more next time I’m in that neighborhood.
