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.

I hate this kind of tea ha ha, pretending to be cherry blossom but actually candy cherry and rose. Boo! XD

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!

drank Pure Chamomile by Twinings

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.

Ooh! There’s a box of this in my kitchen (Mother’s Day treat) that I haven’t broken into yet. I’ll have to remedy that quickly.

drank Earl Grey by Taylors of Harrogate

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.

TTB! The vanilla tastes so strong! I’m drinking this at room temperature with milk and sugar, and that vanilla flavor is so clear, sweet, and tasty. I don’t know if I’ve ever tried a tea with such a strong, authentic vanilla flavor. It’s so desserty and nice!

Its one of my favorites, makes a good iced tea, and I hope it’s never gone from my cupboard!

I’m so glad you added some to the TTB – it was lovely to sample!

drank Zesty Lemon by 52teas

This is an interesting take on a lemon tea! It really does taste different from others I’ve had. The lemon is fresh, but not sour. The base is high quality, as always. It’s a nice combination, though a more standard flavor profile than I usually gravitate toward. I never realized it had black pepper and other spices!

Try cold-brewing this one – it’s spectacular as an iced tea!

TTB! I won’t lie, the first sip I had of this, I gagged a little. It smelled so savory, but even so, my mouth wasn’t ready. It tastes exactly how it smells. It’s super strong and savory and spiced like some sort of curry. I added oat milk, which helped a lot. It tastes fine as long as you know what to expect, but I never need this ever again.

It sounds like the tea is honestly named! Spicy, savory, and generates an adaptation— for you, to avoid it in the future. Better luck in your next sips!

I gave my partner a sip without warning him, and it shocked him so much that he was suspicious about every sip I gave him of anything for the next week ha.

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
