This had cold brewed for almost a week and though it was creamy orange, it also tasted a bit like halls. So not my favorite but I wonder if the long steep made for an only okay drink.

This is one of those teas that are alright when you don’t focus too much but if you look too hard, it starts to get bad. Check out my full review here: http://sororiteasisters.com/2017/03/30/lemon-green-from-the-toni-glass-collection/

I made this while drinking White Christmas by 52 Teas. I gave it to a family friend to try and he swears they taste the same. They don’t but he’s just discovering tea so it’s fun to see the difference in palates (sp?). I definitely get the vanilla honey. The potato pancake is more faint though. Also, I’m starting to think there is a distinct A Quarter to Tea taste to her teas. I actually think I could blindly guess the tea company before I could guess the tea title. I don’t know what that distinct flavor is and I don’t think this is a bad thing, just something I observed.

The Peppermint is strong here. Peppermint and marshmallow. It’s a little medicinal but also a little creamy. If there should be chocolate here I don’t taste it. I don’t mind it though it’s not my favorite either.

Drank this last night and it was like fruit loops in a mug. I look forward to drinking it again because though I wasn’t paying too much attention, I know I liked this.

My mom is cooking for passover so the kettle is impossible to get to. I did squeak by at some point and brew this up though. It is has made for one chocolatey tea. Creamy chocolate with coconut undertones. This could probably be a good latte though I wonder if the gentle coconut would come through. Luckily I have a big bag of this to experiment with so we shall see.

I brewed this up in a mug and this is the marshmallow assam I know and love. No briskness. No astringency. Just creamy marshmallow and assam yum. Delicious!

I brewed this tea and then went for a walk with the puppy and now I am drinking the tea. It’s cold but creamy and the smoke is quite strong. It is nice though quite a niche flavor that I probably wouldn’t reach for that often. I enjoy it but I will also be okay with saying goodbye when the time comes.

Sipdown

This smells awesome and definitely has a honeydew quality to it, yet as the sip finishes, it tastes really badly like plastic. It has a lot of potential but just falls flat.
