NEVERMIND!!!! I really like this tea, it was the timer’s fault. It was wildly overstepped!!!

Honestly, I still don’t love this… I’ll drink it but I think I placed it. The base is too astringent and the lavender is bitter. IDK if there’s artificial flavoring for lavender or if there’s too much, though it doesn’t look like it. Some how it is worse the second time. Maybe it needs to be a latte.

This is a nice blend but not as good as I was hoping it would be. I quite like lavender and I like cream teas. This didn’t necessarily hit the spot. It was a bit astringent and strong black tea heavy which I don’t mind usually but when I expect one thing and taste another it is a little disappointing. That being said, I might try to steep it a little lighter next time and see if that changes things. Though, I don’t think that this will be a blend I will be repurchasing from Murchies.

This is a really nice Assam. I’d actually never had an Assam tea/blend straight before. I’ve always made it with milk and/or with sweetener. This was malty, bready, sweet, and cozy… especially with the oddly cold weather we’ve been having in NY.

I love this blend, I didn’t realize I had it… its in a tiny ziploc so I must have gotten it in a swap but I love this… definitely need to get more for the fall/winter months.

This is another sample. It’s good, not my favorite but it’s nice. A little unseasonably cold today so maybe that’s part of it… I’m definitely craving something cozy and warm rather than this cold brew.

Okay, this is going to sound crazy… I don’t taste the spices, I don’t taste the licorice…. all I taste is sour candy and I love it! Plus its a gorgeous color!!! LOVE (totally didn’t take from a hotel lobby in Philly).

This is another from the sampler I received as a very kind gift. I really like this one, I was pretty shocked by the other tasting notes for this blend. I thought that it was bright, creamy, had a little spice going…. I really liked it and will grab some the next time I head to the Millerton location. I do understand that its not a traditional chai, it does miss some of the other spices other than a bit of cinnamon and clove. So I’d call it rooibos spice maybe, but I do enjoy it!

I really like darjeeling teas, I honestly don’t know why I don’t have any other than this sample. It’s more of a, I know I love them… I just don’t realize I want them until they’re in front of my face. That needs to change, I do need to get more. That being said, this smelled sweet and floral right off the bat which I was really excited for and this tea did not disappoint. It’s sweet, floral, and a little malty. I love it!
