One of my coworkers gave me a sample of this one – mmmm, it actually kinda tastes like pie! And I’m toally okay with that! One of the most ‘pumpkiny’ teas I think I’ve had.

I wish I had picked up a bigger box of this to bring home. Sigh! Purchased while in NZ, and I used it as my to-go breakfast tea at the hotels I was staying at, and I used up probably half the bags. Nice and strong, hurray for black tea.

I had this as a to-go from Pearson Airport bright and early yesterday morning, haha. After travelling for nearly two days (most of that spent on a plane), you’re damn right I was going to try a mate… And I liked this one! I’m kind of vary on mate blends due to the earthiness sometimes doing weird things with flavouring, but whatever was done to this one – yum!

Had this with my supper out the other night… Love love love Earl Grey, and this was a nice, comforting two c ups on an unusually chilly August evening.

Very mild blueberry flavour to this one – likely due to the white tea base. I think it’s a bit too mild for my taste (I do like my fruit teas to be stronger, as a whole), but as an organic tea, I’m certainly happy to have tried it. I wouldn’t say this is a definite must purchase again, but I will keep it in mind.

I have been looking a decaf black tea that I like as much as the (now discontinued) Earl Grey from DT. This one is decent with some milk, but the hunt will continue!

Happily surprised by this one! My love for chocolate teas has decreased significantly because I’ve realised I really don’t like teas overly sweet. This one has a nice blend of the chocolate and the spices and worked really well with milk. I just wish I wasn’t drinking it in July, haha. The weather here lately has been absolutely terrible and cold and I’ve been drinking far more hot teas than I normally would. I don’t think I’ve ever drank chai in the summer before, and I’ve after having it a bunch of times already this week.

I think I was expecting more out of this one – a bolder flavour, to be sure. It smelled wonderful, and I steeped it for a long time, but it was still too mild. Sigh. I do love peach and ginger separately, and I was excited to try a tea where they were combined, and while this was still pleasant to drink, this was a bit of a let down. :/

Floral teas are another questionable experience for me, but this one wasn’t bad! I’m wary of drinking most black tea blends sans milk, but I can’t drink floral blends with it, haha. So straight up was what I went for this – a decent cup, I have to say! I don’t know if I’d buy this one on my own, but I’m definitely glad I tried this.

I approach all coconut teas with caution, and I have to say that this one was pretty good. I do like my chais bold, and this one was definitely milder than what I prefer. However, that also meant that the coconut wasn’t as strong, either, which for me is a good thing. This reminds me of Coco Chai Rooibos from DT, though this has a different base. All in all, I’m pleased with this sample, and I look forward to trying the rest.
