I just don’t get creme brulee from this. Besides, what’s the point of creme brulee if you can’t crack the shell on the surface? I guess it’s a nice pick if you want something sweet, but only mildly so… but then, why not just get something vanilla? Or just add sugar to your tea? I don’t know. I just get a whole lot of “what’s the point?” from this one. I find that David’s Creme Caramel renders this one a bit redundant, as they’re very similar, but the creme caramel has a richer, more buttery flavour. It’s like the difference between a Werther’s Original and a diabetic-friendly candy sweetened with sorbitol. Creme brulee just isn’t my bag.

Heavenly. Earl Grey and vanilla, two of my favourite things. Tastes like a London Fog, which is great, because lazybones me can’t be bothered to faff about in my kitchen, attempting to steam milk properly. Typically, I am a rebel, and I let my tea steep indefinitely, but this is one that will go rather bitter if left sitting too long. Still. Whoever created this deserves all the awards.

NOM. I love this before bed. A nice balance of chai spices and sweet, creamy coconut. Really refreshing and unusual as an iced latte.

Edit 08/22/14: THIS. HAS. CHANGED. There’s something about it now that I just can’t stand. I can’t even put my finger on what’s different about it, but I used to consider this one of my favourites, and now I can barely finish a cup. Sads.

Bizarre. This kind of defies description. Strong, not quite cocoa-y, not quite coconutty. Something about it reminds me of coffee, in a way. Best to steep carefully, as it tastes straight-up bad if allowed to sit for too long. Doesn’t totally ring my bell, but I wouldn’t say I dislike it. I seem to crave it in Summer.

This one goes one of two ways. If I steep it for the perfect amount of time, and not a second more, it tastes like cinnamon-chocolate deliciousness… almost like hot chocolate, actually. But, if left to steep too long, it takes on that artificial, Valentine’s candy heart flavour that I get out of so many teas that feature cinnamon. This is a good tea, but I’m too imprecise (and lazy) to be bothered to stand around timing it, so it’s not really for me.

I dunno, for something with the name Chocolate Rocket, I’ve gotta say, I’ve tasted chocolatey-er. The raspberry in it is nice, but, well, it’s not called Raspberry Rocket, is it? I actually find this kind of dull. Not for me.

Yum. I dig the way this tastes like chocolate, but feels like chilli, if you know what I mean. The chillies in this are very warming and you can feel it in your throat. Probably not very enjoyable if you’re not a fan of spicy foods on the whole. Also, this is strictly a wintertime tea for me, and I want nothing to do with it in Summer. I’d still rank it up there as one of my favourites, though.

I actually really like this tea a lot. I mean, I wouldn’t list it in my top ten or anything, but I think it’s about as carrot cake-y as a cup of tea can ever be expected to be. Spicy and sweet-ish, this is great on gloomy Fall days.

Veeeeeeery sweet. It has sprinkles in it! And ice cream! Reminds me vaguely of buttercream. There’s a definite cake-like accord here. A fun tea, for sure, but not the sort of thing I’d want to drink every day.

FIGS. Delicious food, weird tea. I find this tea inoffensive, but it doesn’t rock my world or anything. Wouldn’t buy it again.
