This one wasn’t so bad. It was a decent black tea with a hint of rose. Nothing to rave about, yet nothing to complain about either

I can’t find this one on the Etsy site anymore so I’m guessing it’s discontinued. I can see why. It’s so confused it doesn’t know what it’s supposed to be. It doesn’t have a very memorable scent until it’s brewed then it smells kinda nice. The tea as most black tea leaves aren’t very flavorful. It’s like they are using up old stocks of black tea. As for flavor it almost tastes like liquified raisins or prunes and at the same time no distinct taste. Another meh one from the company.

I was very excited because this smells amazing when you open it. Like a tropical fruity heaven. Usually if you like the scent you’ll like the tea. This is just…meh. Not much flavor. Slight cinnamon. Out of about an ounce I got about two cups of tea and forget re-steeping. I don’t recommend it. Cold or hot it’s just underwhelming.

I’m not a fan of most chocolate tea’s. It just doesn’t work. So why did I try this one? A friend I work with sent this to her mom and her mom loved it so much she ordered more with a crazy price tag since it’s not available in the states (I don’t think). Of course my curiosity was peaked. The first couple times i made it as a latte. It needs milk. Without milk it has that nasty sweetened taste with a water hardly spicy chocolate taste. It’s almost like Swiss Miss hot chocolate which I kind of hate because it tastes off. I gave it a fair trial…it’s not for me. Also it is pretty weak, one tea bag doesn’t seem to offer enough flavor, even in just a little water.

I found a couple of bags of this and went ahead and brewed some up to have in…a latte! My handheld milk foamer broke a couple weeks ago so now I have a manual one which I’m loving. I can warm the milk directly on the stove and pump it a couple of time and have really great foam. Regular milk just won’t do. Anyway, added my milk and sugar and was pretty happy with it. Just a slightly malty black tea that’s pretty nice. I’m guessing it will make a pretty good iced black tea as well. I’m going to enjoy the couple of bags I have of this.

I’ve never really been into the Jurassic Park movies. My sister watched them all last summer and I could barely pay attention. But I was still excited about this tea because I love a nice spicy black tea because of how easy they are to turn into lattes. I’m all about a latte. However this tea was very disappointed. You can see the cardamom most prominently and I love cardamom..however the taste doesn’t come through at all. It just tastes like dirty barely spiced water. The black tea itself are all broken rolled up pieces. I manage to get myself excited each time I brew it, only to be mega disappointed. Blech.

A Gryfindoor I would not be. They are brave, and I would be the first one running at a sign of danger. Of course, I was really excited about this Tea… because Harry Potter. It’s an ok Tea. It has a nice orange flavor and is pleasant enough but it’s also highly forgettable. It has rosehip and hibiscus… which means I prefer it cold. There are other herbal teas I would prefer to drink over this and I don’t think I will remember the flavor past another week or so. It was still fun to try but… average.

It seems I can’t stay away from Berry teas here. Well, Berry Herbal teas. It used to be I hated herbal hibiscus teas. Now I love them. Drinking them cold was key all along. I didn’t expect much from this Tea, it was cheap and you get a bunch. I got it from the store the next town over. It has a really nice strawberry flavor and the cranberry taste is nice also. It’s a great herbal tea that I can drink anytime of day… I will be buying this regularly because of the health benefits of hibiscus and rose hip and also it tastes great and is cheap.
