This is a classic, warming chai. Really enjoyed the spices. I did not, however, enjoy the way the apple contributes a bitter/sharp flavor.

I liked this one. It was sweet and creamy, vaguely fruity. I don’t get any pie crust flavor, which was disappointing, but not bad overall.

Sipdown.

This one had a fruity taste to it that reminded me a lot of a pomegranate black tea I had a while ago. Decent, but forgettable. Not a reorder.

After re-reading my first note, I feel like this one didn’t agree well. It tasted like a spicy chai with lots of cinnamon this time around. Not bad, but nowhere near as good as the cinnamon coffee cake I originally described.

Meh.

If I’m heavy handed with the milk, it’s very creamy. Otherwise, it just tastes like sated nuts to me. I’m not even sure I’d say it tastes like pistachios. I definitely don’t get a cohesive pistachio ice cream.flavor from this, at any rate.

This one isn’t bad but I feel no need to repurchase.

Sipdown!

Pretty good for a work tea, though I feel like I could have used 2 teaspoons instead of a tablespoon and gotten a similar flavor. The sweetness from the licorice is consistent and hangs around, though not in an unpleasant way. The cinnamon and vanilla flavors, however, are more inconsistent. Though, I did have a few cups of this that tasted like cinnamon rolls gooey from the oven … That was kind of spectacular.

Sipdown!

This one is a bit astringent, but the fruit flavor does a lot to cover it. I’m not sure I’d call it pomegranate – it’s more red berry than anything else – but it makes for a juicy tea.

Sipdown!

I love this as a work tea and may have to order/get more. The grapefruit is just a bit sharp and the vanilla contributes a wonderful, cake-like quality to the tea. The dry least even smells fluffy and light, just like this tea tastes. Yum!

This one smells medicinal, but luckily doesn’t taste medicinal. I like the almond in this one – it contributes a sweetness to the tea I don’t think it would have otherwise. I don’t get any lemon, though; this one actually tastes like watered down bubblegum. Weird.

I got this one as part of a sampler that I still haven’t tried. A year after getting it. Yikes! In an effort to try/drink up some of my older teas, this one (along with its sampler and another untouched sampler) have been packed up for work.

This was not bitter as I expected it to be. It’s vaguely sweet with a faint tropical fruit flavor. I get hints of coconut, but none of the other fruits that are supposed to be in this blend. I like it, but I don’t think it’s something I’ll need to restock once my sample is finished.
