I really like the gentle spices here! The resteep is stronger somehow, and that was tasty with milk. I preferred the original steep before adding milk. It all combines to be quite well-rounded, though not spicy.

I assumed this would be yet another forever nuts imitation, but it’s actually quite tart and fruity. It’s sort of dusty and meh tasting. The spices are decently strong too. I drink this with added soy milk, which curdles a little, but it really needs the help. My problems with it are the same as my problems with the pumpkin pie blend. Why is there hibiscus here? It doesn’t fit the flavor profile at all.

My partner notices the chocolate, but I really only taste the bitter chicory. I feel like this needs extra sugar and milk to make it drinkable for my preferences. It’s like many other coffee teas, but I’d rather drink Teeccino. There’s no nuance here.

This tastes quite similar to other mint chocolate rooibos teas I’ve had recently. It’s tasty, and maybe I’d even consider buying some if I didn’t have other ones I preferred. The mint is fresh, and the chocolate is muted, more like a suggestion. The rooibos base is smooth.

TTB sample! I don’t think this tea matches its name very well. It’s not spiced enough for me to consider it a chai. It’s a little fruity, but not super orangey specifically. I find this one to be overall pretty average and muted in flavor.

The base is quite strong. I also taste a distinct twang of orange. I definitely prefer other desserty flavors, and the fruit plus coffee is slightly discordant, but not bad. Needs sugar and soy milk to smooth out bitterness.

I prefer chai on a black or herbal base, but this isn’t bad. The spices are a little savory. I taste fennel the most, but the other spices offer a decently well rounded backdrop. The base is a little mild/absent for my preferences, making this a bit thin, but not at all bad.

This didn’t taste like a lot warm. Cold with milk and sugar, it was somewhat cookie-like. Sugar cookies have never been my thing, but this definitely gets points for similarity! I do wish there were more spices or flavors going on, but that’s just the nature of sugar cookies. They’re sugar flavored.

I taste a cooked banana flavor that’s complemented well by the honeybush. Though I’m not sure I taste toffee specifically, there’s something pleasantly desserty in there! Good with milk and sugar. My recent cups of this haven’t been as tasty. I mostly notice the slightly peppery honeybush, which isn’t bad at all, but I miss the other flavors.

I wouldn’t call it spicy, but certainly spiced. The chocolate goes really well with the spices, and the combination black tea and rooibos base is a great choice. This is one of my favorite teas I’ve tried from Nelson’s! Some cups didn’t turn out as tasty as others, but I try to remember it based on the best ones. Sometimes it was a little muted.
