Last cup of this. Don’t know what I’ll do until I get more :(

This tea is amazing, but I keep losing track of time and oversteeping it. While it doesn’t get bitter, some of the more delicate aspects of the flavor are lost. Still good, but setting a timer from now on.

Still not my favorite tea but probably the most useful one I have at the moment, as it pairs so well with breakfast food.

Got lost in my computer program and oversteeped this. While it’s still good (this tea is mostly apple pieces so it’s hard to really ruin it) it does lose some of the sparkling lime taste that it has when it’s steeped properly.

One of my favorite teas ever. This was David’s tea of the month last June, and I can definitely see how this light, refreshing flavor was designed for summer. But I like it so much I need it year round. I think there’s more fruit in it than tea leaves; citrus and apple are the strongest flavors and there’s some creaminess from the yogurt. It’s beautifully balanced and just delicious.

I don’t like chai and I don’t like rooibos, so it’s a surprise to me that I actually find this tea pretty pleasant. It smells tantalizingly of gingerbread cookies but the flavor is a little harder to pinpoint. A light spice blend is about as close as a I can come. I don’t taste coconut at all in this, unless it is the flavor that is sort of mellowing everything out.

The first time I tried this I felt like I wasn’t getting the full flavor, so this time I steeped it with extra tea leaves. The results were a bit strange. I really taste the rose now, but the peach and jasmine flavors have completely disappeared. I’m sort of getting the feeling that this tea is not for amateurs. It has to be prepared exactly a certain way, and I’m still figuring out what way that is. The reason I can’t give up on it is that it smells absolutely amazing, and as for three wishes, well my first wish is that I manage to translate that aroma into a delicious cup.

I’m really not sure how I feel about this one. I’ve never had candy stuff in my tea before and I can’t decide whether I like it or not. The dominant flavor is peppermint, but like, candy cane peppermint rather than the leaf. I’ll try to make up my mind after I’ve had it a few more times.

Got this as a free sample, otherwise probably wouldn’t be drinking it as I’m just not a darjeeling girl. There is something about the flavor that I associate with teabags (even though this is loose leaf); wish I could describe it better but I don’t know the proper term. That said, it’s still a decent cup, and a nice change after all the flavored tea I’ve been drinking.

I love this tea! I’ve never had goji berries before so this is a new flavor to me, and it’s amazing. The melon and apple flavors contribute a lot too. I drank this late last night, thinking that an herbal tea was a good choice to settle down with, but actually the bright flavor woke me right up. I’m moving this to the morning side of the cupboard. Other notes: despite being very strong during the first round, this doesn’t stand up to a second steeping.
