I probably should have actually timed my brewing of this one instead of just dropping the tea infuser in and forgetting about it. The smoky smell is a bit much when I go to drink, but the flavor isn’t overpowering. I’m thinking a cup of this wouldn’t go amiss with a nice savory dinner like cottage pie.

Another cup from the stash my boss sent me. I don’t normally put milk or sugar in my tea, but I can see where this one might benefit from a splash of milk and a wee bit of sugar. The coconut flavor is stronger than other coconut teas I’ve tried, and there’s a hint of almond and vanilla behind it, with a little bit of spice.

Flavors: Almond, Caramel, Cardamom, Coconut, Cream, Vanilla

Finally got into the stash of tea sent to me by the wonderful lady I work for, and this one is definitely a winner. The smell of the dry tea was a little off-putting because it was so strong, but once I brewed a cup, the smell was a little less intense, and the tea is delightfully delicate and has so many interesting flavors. Very tropical – for a few minutes I could pretend I was back on Kauai instead of staring down a lengthy to-do list!

An excellent cup of tea to enjoy at bedtime. I settled in with a cup while I enjoyed a few episodes of an old-school Sherlock Holmes TV series last night, and found it relaxing – none of the flavors in the tea are very strong, but together they’re quite nice.

This tea smells lovely, and tastes just as good. The dragonfruit flavor is strong but not overpowering, and the black tea provides a good base for it. Great for a pick-me-up around mid-afternoon.

Got a box of this tea in my stocking at Christmas, and it has served me well. It’s not quite as good as the Twinings English Breakfast I habitually drank for years, but it serves its purpose well, and is a decent cup of tea. I like it for throwing a tea bag or two in my travel mug when I’m taking a cup of tea with me somewhere.

I got a box of this tea in my stocking at Christmas, and have been happily enjoying it since. It’s brighter and almost more citrus-y than the Twinings Earl Grey I’m used to drinking. Rather lovely :-)

Boiling 7 min, 45 sec

Another find in the stash my sister sent me. Having had a very harrowing day (would not wish on anyone the experience of seeing one of one’s heroes crash their race car in such a serious fashion), and finding myself very cranky and in need of something chocolate this evening, I figured a cup of this tea was in order. It definitely fits the bill – the chocolate flavor is nice, and the mint is a good addition.
