Classic black tea, it is enjoyable, when brewed right. I’m brewing it with less leaves and longer steep times. Like the bitterness.

Flavors: Bitter

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec 0 tsp 3 OZ / 100 ML

drank Russian Caravan by t Leaf T

Pleasantly surprised by this one, as I’m a little wary on teas that have ‘smokey’ as a descriptor. I didn’t steep it for as long as I normally would havem and possibly added more milk. But still good black tea!

Mmmm, darjeeling. Not my favourite of the bunch, but still a decent mug of tea.

drank Jasmine Dragon Pearls by t Leaf T

I have to be in a mood to have jasmine tea, but tonight was that night, LOL. One of the better varieties of this I had, I must say. Not super strong (but I purposely didn’t put a lot of the little balls in the tea bag), but still delicious.

drank Namdang BP by t Leaf T

Suuuuuper strong Assam tea – I could taste that even with my usual splash of milk. But that’s okay, as this tea is delicious. I love bold tea flavours – just be wary if that style isn’t your, ahem, cup of tea ;)

drank Earl Grey Blue Flower by t Leaf T

Loooove this one! It has become a staple on my tea shelf here in NZ. I have a deep love for earl greys, and it is rare for me to find one that I don’t enjoy.

Delicious as an iced tea, but you have to really be a feijoa fan to appreciate the distinctive taste this brew will have :)

drank Orchard Fruits by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

This basically tastes like Bear Trap from Davids. The tea even looks the same, LOL. There’s a few differences in ingredients, but it is very much a full-on fruit taste. I had this hot, though I think I might try it iced to see if I like it better.

drank Turkish Apple by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

Very basic – apple pieces, nothing more. Which was nice, as a lot of apple teas I’ve had in the past have had so many other things in it while trying to pass as mainly apple (sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not). I liked the simplicity of this one.

drank Caribbean Crush by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

Eh, I wasn’t overly feeling this one. Maybe I let it steep too long? There was way too much coconut flavour in it for me, as I felt it overpowered the others. I’m coming to realise I don’t really like strong coconut based teas, LOL

drank Keemun by t Leaf T
9 tasting notes

This is review number 1,
I brewed this with a lot of leaf and a fairly short steep as I usually do when trying a new red tea.

I was surprised how much like a darjeeling this tasted! Muscatel notes, not much sweetness, a little astringent, a little bitter (balanced bitterness, not unpleasant).
A little like an oak barrel, a bit of ash.

Overall underwhelming for me, however my partner likes it.

Flavors: Ash, Astringent, Muscatel, Oak

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 15 g 10 OZ / 300 ML

drank Iron Goddess of Mercy by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

Yes, hurrah! An oolong! Finally! Just a straight up, plain, mmmm. I may not have put as many leaves in this as I should have, because it was a little weaker than I was expecting, but still a delicious cup.

A solid breakfast tea – and I do appreciate the fact that it is organic! There’s nothing fancy about this one, just a nice, dependable taste.

drank Christmas Tea by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

Kind of like a milder chai, and with some other random spices… but I liked! I had a Christmas Tea I loved from last year from another company (I can’t remember it off hand at the moment), and that one will always be near and dear to me, but this is not a bad substitute! Pretty brilliant with some milk!

drank Chai by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

Another good cup! It’s just your basic chai, but I loved the cinnamon and spice that came out of this one – and the cardamom, mmm. I steeped it probably less than I should have, so it wasn’t as strong as I would have liked it, but this was a delicious treat on a chilly afternoon. Not the best chai I’ve had, but for the price, this one is pretty good.

drank Wicked Red Strawberry by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

I was a bit wary of the rooibos base on this one, since I didn’t think adding milk would be a good idea with this one, but… yum! One of the better strawberry teas I’ve had, I must say. I do enjoy the fact that it’s caffeine free, which means bedtime tea! LOL.

drank Manchuria Mango by t Leaf T

This tastes pretty much exactly like Mango Madness from Davids, except it is a green blend rather than white. Delicious. :D

drank Golden Monkey by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

I liked this one! It had a bit of a different taste for a black tea, but it was nice with some milk, so… yay? LOL. A little bit malty, but a lot more delicate than other malty blends I’ve had.

drank Creme Brulee by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

Contrary to the other reviews… I actually like this one, haha. I didn’t really get any of the burnt taste – maybe the amount of milk I had in it cancelled it out? Not my favourite dessert tea around, but I think I would get this one again. I definitely liked the black tea base in this as opposed to the rooibos (though the DT version of this is also pretty good).

drank Keemun by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

Another bold choice! Definitely don’t over steep this one, haha. I enjoyed this cup, but I don’t think this is a tea I’d get again. There was just something… off, maybe, about the taste? Something added that I didn’t 100 like? Whatever it is, there will be other black blends that I will go to before having this one again, though I’m not sorry I tried this one.

drank Vanilla Vice by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

Hmm. This is a weird one. It’s a decent cup of black tea, but the vanilla wasn’t what I was expecting – I’ve had plenty of vanilla-flavoured teas over the years, so I know what to look for. Maybe it needed something else to bring the taste to the forefront? I added milk, and that didn’t really help, either. I still have some more of this one, so I’ll maybe make it another way and see if my rating changes any.

drank Gumboot Tea by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

Big, bold, malty… This is an excellent example of an Assam tea blend. Again, I like Darjeelings better, but this was a great way to wake up this morning. I added a little bit of milk, as I don’t think I could manage to drink this one plain.

drank Red Vanilla Raspberry by t Leaf T
338 tasting notes

Rooibos and me have a very complicated relationship, LOL. I picked this sample because of the raspberry, and I like vanilla too, so I thought this should work! I definitely taste raspberry (along with the sometimes-questionable rooibos base, haha, I think I may have steeped it too long), but not really on the vanilla. Boo, as I was looking forward to that. All in all, not a bad tea, but watch the steeping time and don’t expect any vanilla. Pity that’s in the name!
