I remember reading the novel in high school and hating every second of it because all I could read was the racism. I read it again a couple years ago more carefully now that I’m an adult and actually ended up loving it. I think it’s a great novel…I can’t remember why exactly. I should probably go back and read my GoodReads review. Anyway, this is basically a really boring raspberry teas with an inaccurate ingredient list. I found blue fuzzy stuff in it, and also something that looked quite orange. It doesn’t have a very memorable flavor just bleh. The black tear part of it isn’t very strong either. Idk…just not a great one. I couldn’t find it in the Etsy shop, maybe it’s been discontinued?

I get three steeps and it doesn’t hold up to milk very well. Tastes best slightly chilled.

Black tea is my favorite but I’ll never turn down a green tea. Especially with a name and description like this…. Hobbit picked straight from the shire. It’s Lord of the Rings themed. A book I have always meant to read but never mind, I watched the movies. And I’m a fan. Which is why I was so excited for this. It tastes like your typical green tea. Green and spinach tasting. Nothing really amazing and not as high quality as they make it sound. The leaves are broken etc. it’s just an average green.

drank Hufflepuff Brew by Tea Hippie

Another Harry Potter themed tea. If I were a witch, I think I might be in Hufflepuff. Or probably Ravenclaw after a second thought. Anyway, I like That this is low caffeine since it is mostly rooibos, that being said the ingredients seem listed in the wrong order. It tastes like Orange Rooibos. The orange flavor and scent is actually strong leaving me to wonder if there was any sort of flavoring. I liked it though. It uses full leaf black tea. Overall I really liked this one with a touch of honey.

You can get about three good resteeps of the tea too. So that’s good!

drank Tea Hippie by Unforgivable Chai

A Harry Potter themed tea?!? Yes, please. It’s a play on the Unforgivable Curse. Ooh. Anyway, I’m always down for a chai tea. This is quite heave on the ginger. In fact, it’s mostly ginger and I don’t get much of the other spices. I like it though. Especially with a touch of honey and some milk. A latte is the perfect way to drink this one.

I got this in a Tea sample set from my sister for my birthday. I think this particular tea was named for Supernatural- a show I don’t watch. This makes the third cherry Tea I’m reviewing and unfortunately my least favorite. I tried it cold and hot and it just wasn’t very good. Not really reminiscent of cherry pie and smelled a tiny bit medicinal. Couldn’t pick out the spices. Just blah. But I have twelve more teas to try and am sure I will find a winner.

Flavors: Chocolate

Sounds like an overly complicated tea for cherry pie! Too bad it didn’t taste good. I’ve always wanted a really good sour cherry/cherry tea…

It was. I wasn’t a fan :( I have found a really good cherry banana tea from a German Brand called Tea Friends. It’s one of the best cherry teas I’ve tried so far, it made me a cherry believer.

drank Wildkirsche by Meßmer

I usually hate cherry flavored things but for some reason when I went to the store I picked not one but two cherry teas. Surprisingly I really loved the other one and this one isn’t so bad. It’s not full leaf, which is why I don’t think the tea part has much flavor. It has a nice cherry almond flavor that is not artificial at all. It’s just really really light, almost not matter how much tea you add. I liked mine with honey and a bit of milk. You can even turn this into a latte although I didn’t do that because I didn’t think the flavor was strong enough. Overall, it wasn’t too bad. I wouldn’t mind drinking again although I don’t want a whole big bag of it!

Edited to add: Drinking Cherry Tea’s help me sleep so much better! I usually have a hard time sleeping-not so on days I drink this!

Flavors: Almond, Cherry

drank Tea Friends by Kirsch Banane

I did not have high hopes for this tea as I’m not really into herbal teas and definitely not into cherry. I just kind of figure in my mind almost all cherry flavored things taste like cherry medicine. I’ve never been more wrong in my life. First thing…drink this cold! And it tastes just like koolaide (cherry banana koolaide-not a flavor but should be!)-no sweetener needed. It is so good and one of the best hibiscus teas I have ever had in my life! Love it and highly recommend it. I would definitely buy this again.

drank Stress Gone by Tea Friends
270 tasting notes

I just finished the little baggie I had of this. Funny thing is, the whole time I was drinking it thinking it was green tea. Complete with thinking it was keeping me up…ha. Anyway, it smells so good. The best peach scent ever. But…I don’t like the taste. It just tastes off to me. And makes me want peach juice. It’s drinkable…I just don’t ever want to drink it again. I think there is just something off. One of those little herbs in it. I feel less stressed though. Could be placebo. IDK.
Here’s the ingredients:
Peaches (peaches, separating agent: rice flour), bean pods, mistletoe, birch leaves, St. John’s wort, lemongrass, aroma, nettle leaves, orange blossom, safflower flowers

Flavors: Peach

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more 3 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Smells nice. But overall way to sour. And like many herbal teas it’s mostly hibiscus and rosehips. I was disappointed with this one.

drank ruanda rukeri by Abtswinder

I found this at my local grocery store. Didn’t know
Much about it as the label is in German. I’m pretty sure it’s from Rwanda and it is fair trade. My favorite Tea is black tea. But not this one. This one is just not good. Also I think the packaging is terrible. Doesn’t keep Tea fresh at all

Flavors: Bitter

Preparation
2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML
