This was fruity and a little tart. I’m sure I’d appreciate the complexities of it cold, but it was served hot. It was still enjoyable sweetened. I’ve just never loved fruity teas hot, and I didn’t love this one enough to purchase a bag to experiment with.

I’ve been enjoying the plain cacao, but I don’t like this one quite as much. I taste the fruitiness and a hint of chocolate, but I wish the balance were different. It’s much better cold. Then you can taste the jammy strawberry paired with the pleasant chocolate. It’s good with milk and lots of sugar. It’s like strawberry chocolate milk.

The first time I had this, it was a bit too smoky for me. The second time, I gave it a shorter steep than recommended, which was much better. Then I could taste some fruitiness like rhubarb or strawberry along with the smoky base. But the smoke was much milder and supported the flavor profile well. It was quite pleasant with milk and sugar.

This has so much rose in it that I assumed I would hate it. But Anne really knows what she’s doing! This is actually really nice! Granted, I did dodge as many rose petals as I could. I’m drinking this cold, and it’s a bit floral, but that background of black tea is so high quality and nice that I’m not even bothered. It all mixes super nicely with some sugar and milk.

For having spice in the name, the spices are a little mild. I taste apple and some sort of spice, but not too much. I steeped up the last of the bag with the mocha Beach House tea, and actually they’re pretty great together even though they were super meh separately. They just each needed more going on. This was best hot.

Hmm this one doesn’t seem to have much to offer. I taste an average black tea and a bit of nondescript flavoring. Meh it’s boring. I had this twice, and it was the same both times.

I’ve had a lot of mediocre herbal teas from RoT, but this one isn’t bad! I totally see the gingerbread vibe. The spices mix together pleasantly with the rooibos base. I really get this one!

I gave this my typical chamomile treatment of milk and sugar free flavoring syrup. This time it was banana syrup, which was really nice! I didn’t find this to be better than any bagged blend, but this was nice enough!

This tastes quite similar to Teeccino blends, but with more bitterness. It definitely does better with a shorter steep. You really get the coffee vibe. It’s best with almond milk, lots of sugar, and even some whipped cream on top. I prefer the fun herbal coffee flavors Teeccino carries though. This one is a little straightforward for me, but it certainly is what it says!

This is pretty standard, but it’s a nice version of this flavor profile. It’s a little floral and a bit herbaceous. It’s refreshing cold, but not special.
