Another afternoon tea pick! This is a pretty hearty black tea! Nice almost malty flavor. Great warm with sugar and milk. I see from my Steepster history that I’ve enjoyed their regular English breakfast in the past, so I’m happy that their decaf blend was nice as well! Other reviewers don’t seem to agree.

We enjoyed afternoon tea at Malmaison in Reading during our UK trip! They left a box of teabags at our table, so we sampled multiple teas. Here, I taste mostly a perfumey flavor, not much black tea at all. It has a super strong floral scent, which definitely translates to the flavor, but I wish the base were heartier.

TTB! The vanilla tastes so strong! I’m drinking this at room temperature with milk and sugar, and that vanilla flavor is so clear, sweet, and tasty. I don’t know if I’ve ever tried a tea with such a strong, authentic vanilla flavor. It’s so desserty and nice!

This is an interesting take on a lemon tea! It really does taste different from others I’ve had. The lemon is fresh, but not sour. The base is high quality, as always. It’s a nice combination, though a more standard flavor profile than I usually gravitate toward. I never realized it had black pepper and other spices!

TTB! I won’t lie, the first sip I had of this, I gagged a little. It smelled so savory, but even so, my mouth wasn’t ready. It tastes exactly how it smells. It’s super strong and savory and spiced like some sort of curry. I added oat milk, which helped a lot. It tastes fine as long as you know what to expect, but I never need this ever again.

TTB! I surprisingly loved this tea. It’s supposed to be fig, but I really just tasted a candy-like, non-specific fruitiness plus some cinnamon. I drank it sweetened with milk, and it was really desserty and tasty. I wouldn’t mind more of this! The resteep was really nice too.

TTB! This was much more mildly flavored than I would have hoped. Cold, I could taste a bit of an EG vibe, but not much.

The flavoring is a bit alcoholic/sharp. I don’t taste anything that reminds me of cake. I definitely taste the lemon, but it’s not too enjoyable to me. My dad tasted mostly creaminess with a hint of lemon.

The primary flavor I taste is overripe banana. I also taste coconut. In some sips, the banana is a little too overripe for me. This is pretty good, but not one I would seek out again over 52teas banana blends. I feel like I’ve had my fill after a few cups.

This was delightful. I drank the whole bag much too quickly. It has a familiar 52teas spice blend, but one that I always enjoy. The base supports the flavor profile perfectly. It tastes desserty, like I could really see it being an oat crumble of some kind. I never tasted any cranberry. This was best cold sweetened with milk.
