S&V Advent Day 9!
I taste lime and blueberry in even amounts, but I don’t notice too much green tea. It’s really refreshing cold! The fruits taste pretty authentic and nice! It’s the right amount of tart. There is a bit of a chemically flavor, but I don’t mind it too much.

The name is right – I definitely taste a fruity black tea! The black base is pretty hearty, and I can’t distinguish the individual fruits very well, but it’s pretty nice cold with milk and sugar! I guess it’s a bit berryish!

It’s been a few years since I’ve had this tea, and it looks like I rated it 60 last time. I think that was too harsh. This has a nice honeyish quality, and I also taste a bit of vanilla. It was pretty refreshing cold! Only the first sip was too woody, then it smoothed out.

There were two butterfly pea flowers in there that I pulled out, and the rest of the blend is mostly lemongrass, which I’m a fan of! I’m drinking this sweetened and cold, and it’s quite nice! I get mostly gentle lemongrass flavor. I don’t know why I enjoy the flavor of lemongrass so much, but even though there’s not much more going on here, I’m happy!

H&S makes pretty decent EGs! I taste a good amount of bergamot, though the base tea may not be quite my favorite. Looks like I rated this 88 in the past, and I still think this is a solid option, but I’ll lower the score a little. The resteep was pretty nice! Kaylee also included the cutest little snail teabag string holders, which I will 100% use, so thank you!!

This is the first tea I tried from Adagio, years before I ever joined Steepster. At the time, I loved it, and have ordered it several times since. I haven’t ordered from Adagio in a few years because I grew tired of their teas, sadly including this one! But it will be nice to try this again to see if that has changed.

Unfortunately, I also made myself a cup of eton mess from B&B at the same time, and that one is a similar flavor profile, but with a lot more intrigue. This one is pretty plain tart red fruit, which isn’t bad, but I’d choose eton mess over this one every time.

This has a lot of ingredients, but I really only taste a mild mint plus some notes from the teas. There’s oolong, black, and rooibos in there, though the black tea stands out the most. It’s all quite muted, but pleasant!

I actually love this tea! I taste spices and baked elements. The black tea is a good base for it. It all tastes nice together, and the resteep was tasty too.

I do taste something like mango skin, but also something a little peppery? I don’t know what’s causing that. It’s not bad, but I wish I could taste fresh mango since that’s my favorite fruit!

I was so excited to open my gift box from Kaylee this morning! I mostly just taste the hot pepper-style spice with only a little fruit. I feel like my mouth never knows what to think of spicy fruity teas! It’s best cold. It looks like last time, I rated this a 70, and I think that’s still just about right!
