Another garage sale tea! This one is pretty lame. The chai spices are way too muted. I want it to be spicier or more distinct. This is just super meh. Nothing stands out; it’s just weak.

drank The Shadow by Wild Coast Brew
2419 tasting notes

This is quite a mild chai. I taste something like light cinnamon and maybe something else. There’s also a warm, pleasant earthiness. It’s nice with sugar and milk. I would have guessed this was an herbal chai, as the black tea doesn’t make much of an appearance. It’s not bad, but I prefer a bolder chai.

Yeah I wouldn’t really call this one a chai, though Wild Coast does. More of a lightly spiced tea. :P

AJRimmer

Yeah, that’s definitely more accurate!

drank Pumpkin Pie by Tea4u
2419 tasting notes

I bought this in Toronto! It tastes somewhat similar to the pumpkin pie tea I had from Sips by recently that tasted like Thai curry. I taste savory spices, and it doesn’t remind me of pumpkin pie. The annoying thing about this one is that it has hibiscus? So it’s a little tart and fruity, which doesn’t fit the vibe at all and is pretty confusing. It also makes my soy milk curdle a little, which I just put up with rather than stopping using it. Ha this one just annoys me every time I drink it. It has potential, but they made so many wrong choices.

drank Romantic Spirit by Tea4u

This tea tastes sort of like spiced cranberry? It’s a bit too tart at times, and sometimes the flavors don’t combine that smoothly. Sometimes it tastes a little dusty. It doesn’t end up feeling very sophisticated. I drank my entire 2+ ounce pouch pretty quickly, so I must not have been too opposed to the flavors. It was best cold with lots of sugar.

This is supposed to taste like cinnamon rolls, and it sort of does! It reminds me of some S&V dessert blends. With milk and sugar, this is a sweet, decadent, desserty tea. The rooibos is the perfect base for it. It’s just my sort of thing, though not every cup of it is as delicious as some.

This is light and appley. It’s not very exciting, but it’s refreshing enough sweetened and cold. Sometimes it’s a little tart or fake tasting. It’s not one I’d need to have again.

The orange tastes really juicy and candy-like. I don’t taste anything chocolatey. Both the first steep and the resteep taste super refreshing cold. This is one of my favorite orange rooibos blends I’ve tried. The rooibos is the perfect base for this.

This tea is quite similar to Teavana’s white chocolate peppermint herbal from back in the day. I taste pretty equal amounts of the chocolate and the mint. It’s smooth and refreshing. I like it cold sweetened with milk. I do still prefer Nelson’s version of this for my Teavana replacement (good thing too since Sips By doesn’t exist anymore).

This tastes mostly like apples with sometimes a bit of chamomile. It’s pleasant cold, though similar to many teas I’ve had before. It’s not at all tart, just fruity and refreshing. I got this tea at a garage sale, and it’s from a local company, but when I was entering the ingredients on here, I noticed it’s just Adagio’s Peach Serenity tea repackaged. Strangely, it doesn’t taste at all like peach.

drank Mint Melon Gunpowder by 52teas

This ends up a little bitter for me, even when steeped properly. I never noticed melon, only the mint. I tried a cold resteep, but that was even more bitter unfortunately.

Cameron B.

Melon and gunpowder sounds like an odd combination.

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
