I got this sample in Oxford. I overleafed this by a lot, but even so, it turned out pretty light. I taste red fruits, but nothing is very special. The resteep was super standard.

drank Snow Dusted Morning by Plum Deluxe

TTB! This was lightly appley and floral. The black base was very light, barely even noticeable. Hot, it tastes like nothing, but it was pretty enjoyable cold.

Wow, the opposite of my experience with a different tea today!

drank The Drunken Apricot by 52teas

This reminds me of other peach black teas, but this is a super high quality version. In some cups, I can maybe taste the extra something desserty that makes it not just an apricot black tea. I like it best at room temperature with milk and sugar. The resteep tastes just as good as the first.

drank Burnt Sugar Boba by DAVIDsTEA

The flavor I taste most strongly is the sugar. It’s pleasant and sweet with milk and sugar, and sometimes I feel like I really can taste the boba, especially during the resteep. It’s nicest cold or at room temperature. I enjoy eating the boba after it’s finished steeping.

drank French Breakfast by Plum Deluxe

The main flavor here is green rooibos, and it’s a really nice one. I also taste some fruitiness that could be the bergamot. I wouldn’t necessarily pick this over other EGs or other green rooibos tea, but this was really quite decent cold with milk and sugar. One of my favorite teas from the TTB!

TTB! This is pretty good! The black tea is hearty, and the peach is bright and juicy. A little simple, but not bad at all.

drank Carpe Diem by THEODOR

This smelled pretty off-putting, but it actually tastes nice! I taste the fruitiness along with a biscuitiness. Maybe there’s also some mild spice. I’m enjoying the dessertiness, though sometimes there’s some murkiness. Sometimes I add milk to bring it out even more. Fun to try from the TTB!

TTB! The spices complement the apple well. This was pretty pleasant with some milk and sugar, though I wouldn’t necessarily seek it out over similar blends. It’s a warming autumn flavor profile! I drank some of this cold the next day, and the flavor was richer and slightly alcoholic, but not in a bad way. I enjoyed this!

drank Horchata Chai by DAVIDsTEA

Sweetened with milk, this really tastes like horchata! I taste a lot of warm cinnamon, but something else that combines to make this a super desserty cup. Lovely resteep as well.

drank Blustery Earl Grey by Plum Deluxe

TTB sample! Never have I tasted a tea that I would describe as lotiony as strongly as with this tea. It was so lotiony that I gave the cup to someone else. That’s all I tasted.

Gosh, I wonder if someone secretly substituted lotion in place of your tea… Maybe not, the tea was sold by Plum Deluxe, not Maxwell House! ;-)

Bio

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
