Sample 9/31
While I was expecting this tea to be really bitter, I found it it be really light. Not sure if this is because my tea water had cooled a little bit before steeping. Hints of honey with a slight nutty flavor. While I enjoyed this tea I didn’t find it Robust as the description implies.

Sampler 8/31
I’m not a fan of the bitterness that usually comes with black tea, so i steeped this on less than the full amount. There was no bitterness to the tea, but not really anything special about it. Did notice some slight honey undertones, but no sandelwood.

This tea is has a very delicate taste. As a hot tea I really didn’t get any taste of ginger which was disappointing cause i love ginger. I don’t know if thats because I drink ginger brew all the time (if you don’t know what ginger brew is it’s super gingery soda). As the tea cools down the ginger becomes more apparent. I think this would be really good iced as an alternative to water, as i’m not a fan of straight water.

Again I had a hard time getting my nose of the package. Leaves smell wonderfully of cinnamon and cloves. Kinda reminds me of mulling spices for apple cider. I love chai so i was looking forward to trying this one.
LOVED THIS TEA. The spices were wonderfully warming on a cold day. The only negative is that there was a strong bitter taste that you get with black teas which i’m not a fan of. Haven’t tried it with cream and honey cause i didn’t have time to fix another cup, but hopefully will try this mixture tomorrow.
And Merry Xmas Everyone XD

Pretty sure I burnt this so i’m gonna wait to review until later. Need to stop trying to brew tea while making dinner. Not really impressed with the smell or taste of this one so far.

and also my 50th tasting note :)
I LOVE this tea. Like many other’s I had my nose buried in the tea packet smelling delicious sugary caramel goodness. Once I finally got around to brew the tea, it tastes just as wonderful as it smells. Very slightly oolong with a sweet caramel pairing as well. I wish there was a little more oolong, however i’m not sure that a stronger oolong presence would create discord in the mixture of tastes.
This is a perfect tea to curl up to during a blizzard (yay for winter weather)

I really like the vanilla mint tea so I was looking forward to trying this tea. This tea is wonderfully creamy and minty. The jasmine adds a nice taste and fragrance to the tea in edition to the vanilla.

Color is a nice green color. Smells nice and buttery, unfortunately the taste doesn’t go with the smell. Tastes pretty bitter, with a slight buttery pretaste. Second cup no improvement even with cooler water.

2/31 sampler. I really liked this tea. I don’t really like black teas, but this one as a hint of citrus with honey undertones. Not very bitter like other black teas i’ve had.

So I got the gold moon sampler for myself as an early YAY YOUR DONE WITH FINALS present. Actually getting around to trying it now. Very light in flavor almost like a green tea. Slightly buttery. Very enticing floral smells. Taste is lacking a little.

Little more watered this time. Think i need more leaves to steep.

Tried this Again. This time added 2 heaping teaspoons of leaves and steeped it barely a minute. Much more flavorful this time.

Very strong smell brewing it. I thought I would be drinking liquid roses. However I was pleasantly surprised. Very muted sweet taste, with just the right amount of fragrance. Yummy.

Soo I may be a little biast considering this is my first oolong tea. Very tasty! Has a smooth slightly floral taste at first and slightly sharp aftertaste. I really enjoyed this tea and ended up infusing the leaves 4 times to drink more.

My first jasmine tea. I think i burned it a little, but the tea is slightly sweet, and delicately floral. I gulped this tea down!

Smooth flavor. Slightly buttery flavor with a hint of flower.

Having warm today. Really warm the tea taste alot more bitter than iced. However tea is still enjoyable.

Because this is the thrid cold i’ve had in that many weeks I decided that I needed a destressing tea. So i picked this up to try. It smells spicy and very applely, almost like my apple and spice tea. However it tates rather bland. There is no apple taste in the tea at all. It tastes kinda like boiled leaves.

So after a week of being sick, I can FINALLY taste and smell again!!! In celebration I decided to go for something really fruity. Color is a really pretty Dark berry color. Taste is very berry, but not really raspberry like the description says. Not bad though, but tates as though there is blueberry and strawberry as well. Tates a bit floral as well. Overall not a bad tea.

Sick again…….. but perfect cup of tea with some honey for my sore throat. Really pretty red color. Very fruity, added some honey for my throat and I think it makes the tea smoother. I got the second steep and it was still pretty strong.

I was right. Much better warm. Sick again so also added some honey.
