Tastes like a weak version of Tazo Apple Red + candle wax. Not my thing. The licorice overwhelms everything and overall it’s pretty bland.

Nice apple flavor, but somewhat weak in the cinnamon department. I sometimes double bag this with Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice for a zestier cinnamon flavor.

One of my favorites. Has a floral quality that goes perfect with a little half and half and a dash of honey. Smells rich and wholesome, with an old-world aromatic quality.

Quite nice with cream and honey. Not a lot of cheese flavor, but tastes rich and coconutty.

I wasn’t such a huge fan of this. It’s a little cloying and doesn’t taste very much like sweet potato pie. It’s decent with honey and cream, but I like their other sweet honeybush blends much better.

Bleh. I was expecting something spicy and warm. Instead it’s bland and insipid, which is hugely disappointing considering the price.

Ever buy a chocolate tea that smells soooooooooooo delicious? And then when you make tea the tea tastes like…tea? It’s pretty disappointing. This tea is magic! It smells like chocolate and the resulting brew tastes like a really expensive dark chocolate bar. Sweet! The only complaint I have is that you have to use a lot of it per cup, which means you’ll run out of it quickly…

I love this flavor concept, there are clearly some creative folks at Republic of Tea. Lots of orange flavor with a dash of carrot. No rooibos flavor and I’d be curious to try the raw bush tea by itself. Overall an extremely refreshing drink. If you make iced tea, I recommend doubling up bags for a stronger flavor.

Hmm, smells a little like apples. Unfortunately tastes a lot like heavily diluted apple juice. Blergh.
