This one was pretty good today in my mug. I ended up being 30 minutes early for my bus transfer though, so the tea was eclipsed by a latte. Hmm. I’m definitely caffeinated today. Matcha smoothie, latte, black tea… Bzzzzzzzz…

Ooh! I haven’t had this tea in a while! Such a delicious after work treat, along with some caramel apple. Even though I’m just a temp, they got me one too! Chomp chomp, om nom nom.

This one was a little bit lost in my mug today. I need to remember to make this one at home more often, as I do like it. Stronger mug-safe teas work better for that initial morning, “Oh my god I have to be up at what time?!” kick in the pants. :)

Eh, it’s kinda bitter-nutty. Kinda chocolatey. Nothing to write home about although it apparently hit a spot tonight. My mug is empty.

Sip down! Made this one this afternoon, with some cold water added to the boiling water we get from the hot water tap. It was so good and comforting, yay!

This one is definitely on the reorder list. I can mistreat it and the flavour carries the tea. It doesn’t taste terribly bitter or astringent or anything, and everyone wonders what smells so good. :)

Nom nom freaking nom. I did two steeps of this today, the first one I made in a thermos before I left home, and I added a tonne of honey (I’m sick… boo!). It steeped for about 3 hours so it was extremely flavourful and delicious, and the honey helped with the throat scratchies puerh seems to intensify. I steeped it again for a couple hours, and it was just weak. If I’m going to steep this one over throughout the day, I think I need to steep it for 5-10 minutes, pour it into another mug to drink, then steep the leaves again in the thermos. Otherwise all the goodness gets pulled out with the first steep!

Sadly, I’m going to have to put this one away till I’m feeling better, as the throat scratchies were very sad-making.

Delicious with a tonne of honey and a little this morning. I haven’t had a plain black tea in a while, and need to remember to make them in the mornings!

This tea is surprisingly spicy. The leaves are green and brown. I have no brain left as I had to get up this morning to temp at 7am.

I like it, although it is a bit over the top with the spice, which isn’t backed up so well with the oolong. If it were an herbal chai blend I’d be more likely to try to keep it stocked, but even as it is I think I’ll occasionally be stopping by a Teavana to replenish.

I had it with milk and sugar. Not much, just enough to try to make it richer/creamier. Didn’t really work.

I got suckered into the $10 off $20 sbux Teavana coupon, and bought 4 teas (spent $20! Super pleased with myself!).

This is the first one I decided to try. It’s OK. Yes, it’s nutty, but I taste the flavouring and there’s very little oolong. It might be contributing to the metallic taste, but I’m going to attribute that to the flavour.

Not one I’d get again, but it’s good enough for a caffeine boost at work tomorrow! Doesn’t need milk and sugar, but is somewhat improved by it.

This one also works well as a DavidsTea Tea Pop! Just FYI.

I was SO thirsty tonight. A caramel rooibos tea while out, then 32 oz of iced teas when I got home. Well. Time to sleep now. Hope I don’t have to get up too often…
