drank Red Choc Mint by T2
109 tasting notes

Refreshing and mild.
But I’d rather it have been a full choc-mint slice experience than just a minty rooibos with a tiny hint of cocao.
Steeped five minutes but felt it was too weak, so I just popped the infuser back into the teapot and let it sit for as long as it took me to finish it. It brought out the flavours a bit more, but this sample hasn’t really impressed me enough to warrant a purchase.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 2 tsp 15 OZ / 450 ML

drank Toasty Nougat by T2
3 tasting notes

I’m a bit dissapointed with this tea. I thought it would taste like how it smells. Turns out, only the smell is good. It taste a bit bland no matter how long I steep. I thought I made a mistake during the steeping but it’s just bland. The ‘soury’ taste of the fruit didn’t goes well with the ‘creamy’ smell to me.

Flavors: Creamy, Fruity, Marshmallow

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 4 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 250 ML
blehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I had the same experience, I feel like Toasty Nougat would be a great additional ingredient to another black, oolong or rooibos tea maybe… but not as great as a stand alone tea

drank Southern Sunrise by T2
109 tasting notes

Amazinggg iced tea. I’m a sucker for anything grapefruit and lemongrass.
Pretty good hot too, even though I don’t usually like warm fruit in anything.
One time, I walked into T2 and they had a big iced jug of half Southern Sunrise and half Turkish Apple (the sugary one).
Went home and made some with Turkish Apple too (from Adore Tea) and the only thing I could do all day long was sit in the kitchen with a smile and repeatedly pour myself another glass.

drank Creme Brulee by T2
109 tasting notes

After trying this a few more times, I’ve decided that this is indeed, a very good tea. Not sure why I wasn’t enamoured by the sample, but since receiving a whole box of this as a gift from T2, I’ve been making it in my T2 flask to take to work a few times a week.
Aroma and mouthfeel are both of the creme brulee variety and this has been an enjoyable experience.

I’ve found that brewing for four minutes at a slightly lower temperature (as opposed to shorter steeping times in boiling) prevents the bitterness that others have mentioned in their notes.

Yummy :)

I had very similar thoughts when first sampling this blend. However it’s now one of my all time favourites.

drank Creme Brulee by T2
109 tasting notes

It’s somewhat hard to taste the dessert in this tea. You kinda have to look for it. When you do, there is the aftertaste of caramel sweetness, but much too subtle for me to warrant buying this.
This was a sample and I still have some left so I’ll brew it longer next time and hope it doesn’t turn bitter.
T2’s Terrific Toffee is much tastier.

Edit: Brewed for four minutes the second time and the creme brulee flavour upped its presence. No bitterness. It’s quite smooth in mouthfeel with the aftertaste of caramelized sugar. T2 had a promotion where you get a free box of this with any chai purchase so I have 100grams of this to play around with. Increasing my rating

Amelia sent me this lovely tea all the way from New Zealand, it is amazing! I’m currently really into pomegranate, and she somehow picked it without knowing it. It’s light and fruity, I really enjoyed it iced (haven’t tried it hot yet). A wonderful summer tea!

Grabbed a sample of this from the store yesterday because the social team keep mentioning it whenever people ask about Shimmer Punch.

Tart, tart, tart.

Hibiscus ruins everyone’s fun.

I think I’ve finally sipped this down but I also have a lurking feeling like I’ve got a whole nother box of it hiding in my pantry somewhere?

UPDATE: NOPE! ALL GONE! FINALLY OMG! I really enjoyed it, I just didn’t think it would ever end

Time to get through the last stocks of this blend, as much as I love it! I don’t think it ever got added to the permanent collection, which is sad. I polished off a full cold brew 2L jug in one day today so in goes another one overnight, and I polished off a regular old hot mug for dessert tonight too. Somebody stop me.

Love The Mask reference there :P

And I’ve moved back onto some Rose for an evening brew, now that I’m done with Cool Bananas.

I’m not the first to say it, but Rose, as a name, really doesn’t suit this blend. There’s so much more going on. Some might say too much more, but I’m an apologist for this tea. Great for sweettooths.

Took an overnight cold brew of this to work today and went slightly crazy for it. Dang. This is a keeper. I hate it when limited editions are keepers.

Hey old friend! Brought my canister of this back to work today for a sweet afternoon treat.

Celeste Alice

Definitely got to try this!
Do you know if it’s still available?

Memily

It was one of the May feature teas—some stores might still have some stocks remaining but it’s gone from the online store already :( do you have a store nearby?

Celeste Alice

I live in England sadly, and they only just opened up a store in Shoreditch London. Which is fantastic, but since they’re new they don’t have any of the older specials.
I’m actually coming over to Brisbane in September though and will definitely be heading to the store there. They might even have some left, but I won’t get my hopes up :)

Memily

Oh man, the London store! That’s very exciting. And Brisbane’s my old stomping ground :D

I could probably swing a sample of this your way!

Celeste Alice

The London store is absolutely beautiful! True to T2’s zen like interior and located in such a trendy spot. I chatted to the ladies in there and they were telling me how well it’s took off over here. Fun fact, tea is one of the only things we don’t tax on from abroad, which means they were able to keep the same Australian prices- just converted to English pounds of course!
That’s very generous for you to offer a sample. I wouldn’t want to trouble you though!

It’s funny, I kind of mostly bought this at the time because my friends were all buying up the Mother’s Day promotional teas and I figured I’d better grab one as well. A few weeks down the track and this has become the herbal I turn to lately! Sweet and delicious and full of awesome complementary flavours. I’m glad I got sent a second box for free, lucky lucky!

Ok. Look. I bought a box of this at the T2 Mother’s Day event the other week because I couldn’t resist the plush packaging, and I preferred the sweeter notes of this blend compared to the other two (Fuchsia and Ruby, both far more tart and obnoxious). My friends thought it hilarious that I would choose the most understated, something something my personality something something those jerks. =P

Anyway.

I was going to keep it in the top of the cupboard until I’d gotten through some more open options, but I don’t feel like I have enough caffeine free options available right now, and I love a post-dinner tea but have been having some sleep troubles lately (she types at 2am). Plus there is the fact that I actually received a second box of this (and a storage container, and a pair of teacups and saucers!) as a thank you from the company for filling out some forms to do with them using an Instagram photo of mine in a potential future book they’re publishing. Well, the book’s gone on the back burner for now, but I was quick off the mark getting my form in so thanks via presents was still in order.

So yeah. Long story short, Rose is open and away from the other two blends released in this same promotion I find she is still crazy full of flavour. I get all three—rose, chocolate and fruit. I find chocolate strongest on the nose and fruit strongest on the tongue but all three are in there.

And KikiLibertine is bang on the money about the dry leaf smelling of Baileys. SO WEIRD. And now I want Baileys. It’s been a while… so creamy.

ohfancythat

Sounds pretty good!

Memily

Definitely one of the better balanced blends I’ve tasted from these guys for a while.

drank Toasty Warm by T2
2201 tasting notes

Mmm, another tasty tea from MissB! Thanks! I am really loving nougat-based teas lately… where have they been all my life? Oh right, Canada, apparently. This is an oolong + nougat so I am definitely interested.

I am basically comparing this to Divine Temptation from Bayswater Tea Co., which OMGsrsly sent to me once, and which has a black base. This is quite tasty, with a good amount of nougat flavor. My one wish for this one is that for more oolong! This seems like the base is probably a traditional tieguanyin, but it’s a little lackluster. I want more roastiness and breadiness. A higher quality oolong base would send this one over the edge. Maybe I should try it steeping at boiling, which has become my default temp for most oolongs; the steeping instructions called for 80°C (~175°F), but I wouldn’t dream of steeping an oolong that cool! They are more robust than people think.

So this is a very tasty tea, but I do prefer the black base of Divine Temptation because I think it’s a bit more interesting. Will play with my steeping parameters a bit and see how things change! Thanks MissB!

drank Chilli Kiss by T2

Chilli, tea and cinnamon are three of my favourite things so this tea is perfect for me. It’s a spicy black tea with quite a kick and I think it’s a great winter warmer. I like mine with a dash of milk for a little richness.
