Finished off this tin this past week. It was decent and so convenient for work, but I’d have to wait for a sale to repurchase as these RoT blends wind up being fairly pricey when you have to use 2 bags to get any reasonable flavor. I had bought this one 50% off, so not too shabby, but I don’t think I’d ever pay the ~$10 regular price.

I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.
Some likes/dislikes I’ve been noticing:
Likes:
Pineapple
Jasmine
Fruity White Teas
lighters Blacks
Most Oolongs (especially greener varieties)
dessert teas
tisanes iced that don’t require added sweetener
Dislikes:
Spicy flavors unless in chai
astringent black teas
heavy ginger teas
teas with licorice (as primary ingredients – somehow I like some where the licorice is in the back drop)
heavily oxidized oolongs

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.

I agree with you completely :(
