A cold, dreary day—but the aroma of this tea made me feel much better—coconut, ginger and a bit of the lemongrass. The steeped tea’s aroma was much milder, but I could taste the coconut with a kick of ginger. An interesting combination that I’ll look forward to again.
I have not been a fan of rooibos, but this is really good! Dry blend has the scent of tobacco and vanilla with just a hint of almond. The vanilla aroma and taste carry over into the deep amber brew with just a slight nuttiness. Very mellow with a natural sweetness.

Definite apricot aroma to dry leaves, but steeped tea smells more peachy. Mild sweetness but little fruit flavor in the brew. A nice cup, but I expected more.
I was apprehensive of this blend, but I really wanted a strong breakfast tea this morning. This did not disappoint! The deep amber tea was full-bodied, malty with a sweetness, and elusive chocolate notes. The chocolate did not overpower the aroma or flavor but added to the rich complexity of the brew.
Sweet peppermint with toasty notes. Mellow and smooth.
Awake very early due to snow emergency—work robo-call at 4:30 a.m. Needed something warm and comforting. Tried this using takgoti’s prep technique. Chai smelled wonderful while it was simmering. Spices are well-balanced with a bit of a kick at the end. Not the tea for a quick cup; worth taking the time to prepare more traditionally.

It’s Valentine’s Day, and I’m a sucker for seasonal/holiday teas! A pretty tin, a pretty blend, a pretty aroma, and a pretty good tea. Deep, dark chocolate aroma to the dark, dark leaves. The flavor of the infused tea is more muted but very smooth with pleasant cocoa notes and a shadow of rose scent; subsequent infusions have only chocolate hints but are still quite good.
Later—infused for 5 minutes, as recommended on tin: More flavorful cocoa flavor; chocolate notes remain with definite sweetness in second infusion. This is the way to go—
The jasmine and rose scents blend together very well; lightly fragrant. Subtle, starchy flavor to the tea.

A pretty rosy pink tea. The peach, strawberry, and jasmine aromas meld together well. A bit of rock sugar helps curb the natural tartness of the rooibos and bring out the fruitiness. The tea does taste of peach, but I missed the strawberry. The jasmine aroma is definitely present, but not overpowering. I look forward to icing this tea once the weather warms and all this snow melts.

China Tea by Unknown
This tea seemed to have good intentions. On the outset, the tea had a strong, pleasant, light flowery scent. Flavor initially very sweet which became more elusive as tea cooled. Overly-flowery aroma and flavor grew in unpleasantness with each infusion. Very bitter aftertaste. A good (bad ?) example of why some may avoid green tea. A most unpleasant experience.
