I do like a creamy peppermint…

This is so boss with a sweet, glazed peach pastry… This is my happy moment of the day.

Yum, I like this one sweetened and iced. Doing it myself, muuuuch cheaper than buying the bottles of it at the store.

My sister got this because she wanted something fruity… I can’t really taste the blueberry. Kind of disappointing.

This tea is good but I didn’t get the coconut. I got almond and chocolate tastes definitely not a strong coconut one so I kind of forgot the coconut part. It’s more of an aftertaste. At least in this first cup. It smells good, like a chocolate bar.

It smells good and like something familiar that I just can’t pin down. I brewed for about 3 minutes and it was kind of dark so I worried it would be bitter. It wasn’t, it tastes good – I can definitely taste honey even when I didn’t add any sugar. I only have the one sample, so about halfway through the cup I added some sugar and it was good but didn’t need it I think. It’s smooth and easy to drink but not something I’d remember to buy more of.

I got a free 1oz from the Persimmon Tree tea website for Facebook posting & it came in a cute tin. The tea smells strongly of guava, and when I steeped it the guava taste was really strong. I don’t get any strawberry or ginger unfortunately. I really should try it iced because I think the hot guava is throwing me off… only time I’m drinking guava juice is cold…

My last sample from Nina’s :) It smells sweet and cinnamony. The apple flavor isn’t as strong as the Marie Antoinette tea – I like the addition of cinnamon but wish the apple was more prominent. It seems like a mellow tea, nice to sip while watching TV :D

This is good, not as sweet as I thought it’d be though. The lime flavor comes through clearly, the cream flavor is subtle. I kind of left it because I went to pick up my mom and it got cold but it was still tasty!

I sooooo like this tea! It’s really does taste like a lemon lime cream tart. The taste overall is strong and balanced.

The raspberry and chocolate come through well. It tastes richer when I wait for it to cool a bit. It smells so good that my sister picked it out to try even though I told her I saved the last bit of Kotobuki for her and she was supposed to drink that last night… It’s alright, I share… Lucky I got the 1 oz and not just the try me.

This is such a pretty tea! There are mini marshmallows, sprinkles, and gold balls mixed in and smells sweet and marshmallowy. The black tea was pretty strong but I could still taste the caramel marshmallow. I thought I would like this more based on the reviews here but it is still good. I’ve never had a marshmallow tea before, now I want to try some others because it really tastes good.

First tea from Della Terra Teas and I am impressed. I tried it when it was too hot, and I got mostly a sour cherry taste that I didn’t like. When it was warm, it tasted sooo good. Smooth chocolate cherry… the chocolate is pretty strong. I am so content right now, I feel like I’m wrapped snugly in a blanket of chocolate, I can smell it all around me and the aftertaste is nice. Mmmm… good cup to end the night :)

My second sample from Sophie and Laurent :). This is my favorite so far. The dry leaf smelled like roses. When I steeped it and sipped it to see if it was strong enough I could immediately tell it was apples. As it cooled, I got a whole lot more of the rose so by the end of the cup it was pretty equal tasting. I think it would have been a good tea for Valentine’s Day actually, a romantic, sweet tea with roses :) One of my favorite teas was an apple black tea that was discontinued so I really like this one…
