I really wish I could give this a higher rating because the aroma is amazing and I love that the company employees those with disabilities but the matcha is bitter. It was decent once I made it into a latte and I think it will mix really well once I cook with it but… it’s a no on its own.

Have you ever licked a cedar chest? Can’t say I have. But I wouldn’t put it past the toddler version of myself to do so. This tea is fairly heavy with cedar influence when it comes to the flavor. The aroma, however, initially when the hot water hits it is woodsy. Then it changes to a strange medicinal pitch with a hint of vaseline… Luckily that went away pretty quickly and morphed into fresh barn hay. The flavor for the first 3ish sessions was stone fruit with cedar backdrop and after that became more woodsy. Around the 5th or 6th is was very cedar in flavor. The mouthfeel almost makes me feel as is Ive licked a cedar chest.

I love a good Earl Grey. I’ve tasted many from different companies but none have them have taken it to the level that Teakruthi has. Some are too creamy, some are so strong in bergamot that the citrus knocks you out. Vanilla Earl is the perfect marriage of both of these unique ingredients.

Not sure what part of this is Minnestoan. Feel like it needs wild rice or pine needles… something to make it truly different from the other MN chai blends. Good spicy flavor. But the aroma is my favorite. Smells so good. Don’t get too close though. Better hot, though it was decent cold. With milk, it is also very good. Interestingly, it becomes more nutty but that is probably because I’m using oat milk.

Might have to give this a few rounds before it sets in. Right now all I taste is dill.
Dill and drench woods.
I’m walking through a forest. Suddenly the rain comes down in sheets. It takes me off guard but what really catches me is the sudden aroma of dill.
Something has gone wrong with the aging of this tea.
I just can’t…

Ah, the almost perfect nightcap. Sweet with a tart bite. The aroma is joyful. Like a bunch of berries playing in a field (Yes, I am thinking of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs). Cherries, and strawberries. But… then comes the stevia. It isn’t incredibly strong but once you taste it, it’s all you can think about. Then it lingers on the palate. Besides the stevia the rest of it is great. I just don’t think it needs it.

Mandala. Every time I think I’ve tried your best tea you throw me through another loop and I taste something even better. (Granted I still find it hard to beat your Milk oolong) Though I’m not much of a fan of pu er, I find this one astounding. I truly feel like I am drinking sticky rice. The mouthfeel is incredibly silky. If steeped for too long the earthy notes become a bit overwhelming. Make sure to try this gong fu style.

A sumptuous and dazzling raspberry-colored jewel sits before you. It is a gift from her highness. She calls it razzle dazzle because it reminds her of her favorite tea. With ‘lemony’ hints and raspberry whispers. Her mother, the Queen, also enjoys this one for its slightly grassy that hide amongst the fruit. To be honest it’s not my favortie. I wonder if this is a Ceylon green. Would be better steeped cold. I will try that next.

Generally, if it says green tea and mint in the same sentence I run away. But Longevitea teas are more than mint and green tea so I decided to give it a chance. As soon as you open the packet the herbs assault you, pleasantly. I feel as if my nose is cleansed. The flavor is good. mainly mint but many of the other herbs also make themselves present. I’m just glad the hibiscus doesn’t get crazy.
