After touring Arundel Castle, we found this tea shop while walking around the town. They say they make their own teas, so I bought almost all their herbal blends. This one is unfortunately not a winner. The fruitiness is just kind of chemically. Combined with the rooibos, it’s just fake and unpleasant. Cold with almond milk is the most palatable way to drink it.

This reminds me of the turtle flavor from a few years ago. I taste chocolate and vanilla. It’s high quality and tasty cold with milk and sugar. I definitely prefer how 52teas does chocolate over any other company. It’s very natural. I liked it, though I’ve preferred other similar 52teas blends.

This is supposed to be rhubarb flavor, and I guess I can see that! Combined with the woodiness of the rooibos, it’s not my favorite, but it’s okay cold! I became obsessed with rhubarb & custard candies, so now I buy every rhubarb thing I see, just chasing that flavor ha.

When I stopped by this tiny tea shop in Brighton, I was actually on my way to a different tea shop. I walked two miles each way to get there, but it turns out the other place is now just a tea manufacturer, so I walked straight into a storeroom, then ran away ha. Disappointing. If I had to guess the flavor for this, it seems a bit like grapefruit. It’s pretty fresh and pleasant. Bright, but not too tart. I wouldn’t mind more of this one!

I had this twice cold, and it sadly never worked for me. The first time, it was much too mild. The second time, it was almost bitter, but the main flavor was the green tea with not too much other flavor shining through. I love white chocolate, and I sadly didn’t taste any here. There was a hint of fruitiness, but everything needed to be stronger.

The purple color is so lovely! The flavor is pretty light, requiring extra powder. The main flavor I taste is lavender, which is really nice. There’s a bit of something else like fruitiness, but I wouldn’t say blueberry specifically, and there’s definitely no macaron. I enjoy having a few herbal powders around for when I don’t have a lot of time, but I don’t think this is ultimately one I would repurchase.

This is a pretty nice EG rooibos. I had it sweetened and cold, and the bergamot combined nicely with the smooth rooibos base. There’s really no reason to seek this tea out over other options, but it was definitely better than some EG rooibos teas I’ve tried.

This is more lightly flavored than some DavidsTea matcha blends I’ve had. One time, I made some meringue and put it on top and torched it. That made the cup fun, but the matcha was definitely overshadowed. I never had a cup of this I really loved unfortunately. Possibly the flavor profile is too indistinct to show up clearly. It’s certainly not bad, I just taste matcha and the tiniest desserty something extra.

I wish I tasted any butter or rum, but I don’t. Warm, I really only taste the roasted base, which I’m unfortunately rarely a fan of. I shared this with my partner, and he said it was quite savory and not his thing either. It’s best cool with milk and sugar. I actually quite enjoyed the last half a mug since somehow everything but a tasty marshmallow flavor faded. Hard to know how to rate this one!

I didn’t love this at first, but when I added sweetener and milk and put it in the fridge, it became pretty smooth and nice, though it didn’t stand out too much. The flavors weren’t distinct enough to say what it was supposed to be. Fun to try from the TTB, but I wouldn’t call it luscious.
