Fruity chai isn’t my favorite, so this wasn’t going to be a winner. I like milk with my chai, but the acidity from the fruit makes it a little funky. This tastes tart and fruity, but I also taste spices, especially the cardamom. The acidity it a bit harsh in the back of my throat. I don’t love the black base this is on. Still fun to try from the TTB!

There’s something in here that’s really interesting to me. I taste the bright orange along with the ginger and some other spice or baked element. I liked this sweetened with milk. This has become one of my favorite herbals from Deb for sure!

TTB! The peach flavoring was a little chemically for me. It reminds me of maybe an Adagio tea I had years ago. With milk and sugar, it’s still drinkable and reminiscent of peach rings. Not bad, but not something I would seek out. It’s just a little too fake, and I don’t get any cream or much oolong.

TTB! This was beautiful when it bloomed in the water, though I was unsure if I would enjoy the flavor. I’m happy to say that the flavor was quite nice as well! It also made a super strong resteep. It’s very floral, but the flavor is actually best if you allow it to sit in the fridge for at least 12 hours to mellow. And I kept the initial steep time relatively short as well, knowing my preferences with floral flavors. I didn’t have time to finish my cup before leaving on my three week long trip, so I put the cup in the freezer and enjoyed a lovely tea popsicle yesterday!

TTB! I removed as many rose petals as I could since I’m not a huge rose fan, and I’m glad I did because this ended up pretty enjoyable! I’m drinking this cold, and it’s a little fruity and floral on quite a smooth green base. The main flavor is still rose, so I wouldn’t prefer much more of this.

TTB! This tastes a bit floral. It’s tasty cold with a smooth black base. I like it sweetened with milk. It doesn’t really stand out, but it was enjoyable enough!

Our hotel in London gave us free cheese and tea every night, and we always chose this one! It was relaxing to wind down with some warm chamomile with oat milk. This doesn’t get good reviews, but I found it to be lovely! Just what you expect from a chamomile.

This is so great. The green tea is lovely. The pear flavor is fresh and pleasant. The spices are well-rounded and super tasty. I’m drinking this cold, and it’s juicy and wonderful.

Another afternoon tea pick! This is a pretty hearty black tea! Nice almost malty flavor. Great warm with sugar and milk. I see from my Steepster history that I’ve enjoyed their regular English breakfast in the past, so I’m happy that their decaf blend was nice as well! Other reviewers don’t seem to agree.

We enjoyed afternoon tea at Malmaison in Reading during our UK trip! They left a box of teabags at our table, so we sampled multiple teas. Here, I taste mostly a perfumey flavor, not much black tea at all. It has a super strong floral scent, which definitely translates to the flavor, but I wish the base were heartier.
