finished my stash of this today, I have to say i’m not sorry to see it go…
Bought 10g. of this to try it.
the dry leaves smell like a lemon lollipop! mmm… this is promising.
steeped that smell is tenfold! i’m surrounded by it! liqueur is the color of lemon lollipops!
time to taste: very lemony without being sour, not sweet thought it’s like a sugarless lollipop, i’m going to sweeten this with some agave to see what happens, not the greatest result the tea ends up tasting fake… not great learn from my mistakes drink this clean.
a Gift from my brother! so nice now i don’t have to go buy it myself.
morning cuppa, backlogging
afternoon cuppa after a heavy meal, i always like a little green tea after a greasy meal it makes me feel a little less guilty.

so i went to David’s tea and picked 10 g of all of their new teas to try them, no more buying 25g and then getting stuck with thing i hate.
dry leaves smell like grapefruit juice that’s been sitting on the counter too long and Irish spring i’m assuming that’s the nettle leaves
steeped it smells like Irish spring, and the liqueur is a weird greenish yellow color.
Time to taste: the grapefruit is there but very weak, then there’s the taste of the nettle leaves and i associate it with soap, so i’m tasting soap…
yeah wont finish this…keep thinking of soap….
Got a tin of this on boxing day for 50% off, it was pretty much the only tea that was on sale though….dissapointing
Dry leaves smell like carrots mostly but they are pretty to look at
Steeped the carrot smell comes out more and i can detect the coconut, the liqueur is a lovely orange color, very appropriate.
Time to taste: taste is like a watered down version of carrot cake, personnaly i’m missing the spices but everything else is spot on
wouldn’t buy this again but i won’t mind finishing this tin either.

Day 23 of my Advent Calendar,
Dry leaves smell super fruity having a hard time imagining Creme Brulée from this.
Steeped still smells super fruity but i’picking up hints of vanilla the liqueur is a nice orangey color.
Time to taste: this taste like tutti fruity bubble gum not creme brulée …. not bad but not what i was expecting either…
Needed an afternoon boost,

Day 21 of my advent calendar,
Didn’t drink this one as i hate this tea. really can’t deal with all of the spices…
Day 20 of my Advent Calendar.
Dry leaves smell like honey and tea.
Steeping i smell the honey bush and mate teas then the honey, lemon in the background there too. The Liqueur is a lovely warm honey color.
Time to taste: i taste honey but it isn’t sweet it’s kind of a weird association it tastes good I’m just not used to it, it’s velvety too and i can feel the caffeine already, maybe that’s psychosomatic lol. i think i’m gonna try this sweetened with agave.
better sweetened now i’m getting floral notes interesting tea adding this to my shopping list!
Needed something warm and comforting on this icy day and this hit the spot!

Day 19 of my Advent Calendar, i’m behind a little catching up today.
Dry Leaves I’m picking up cinnamon clove lemon coconut smells like a vacation!
Steeped i smell lemon cardamom cinnamon clove and coconut, the liqueur is a lovely lemon yellow color.
Time to taste: Cardamom, lemon, clove, the cardamom is overwhelming everything, the tea leaves a sweetness on the tongue thats nice i think that’s from the lemon, and lastly i get the coconut…this tea is not for me reminds me of the coco chai rooibos that i can’t stand
not rating this because i’m biased but if you like coco chai rooibos i’ll imagine you’ll like this too
Day 18 of my advent Calendar
I’d like to start off by saying that i am not a fan of Chamomile teas.
dry leaves smell like chamomile, lemon grass and i’m noting a spiciness too.
Steeped it smells really lemony but i can still smell that darn chamomile, Liqueur is a nice amber color.
Time to taste: tart but not too much, chamomile and the licorice there at the end leaves a sweetness on the tongue.
I don’t think that this tea is for me being that i am not a chamomile lover, honestly i don’t think i’ll even finish my cup, but for someone who enjoys chamomile this is a winner.
Daily dose of caffeine

More amaretto than alpine punch?
the dry leaves smell amazing, it’s enough to make you dizzy,mmmm i love amaretto
Steeping the smell is even stronger and the liqueur is a very light caramel color.
Time to taste: I taste toasted almonds sweet amaretto but not nearly as potent as the Alpine punch, if you like almonds but not a super strong flavor than this is for you.
Personally i’m glad i bought a tin of the Alpine punch because comparing the two it’s my favorite
