This is never my favorite flavor profile, but I gave it a try! Yeah, it’s just a little straightforward for me. It tastes like spicy cinnamon, but I feel like there are better options of this flavor profile, and I’d just prefer something else entirely. For a spicy cinnamon tea, this just ends up a little mild.

Well this tea is weird. I’m never a fan of turmeric in tea, but why would they mix it with tart ingredients like hibiscus? It’s just not cohesive at all. It’s drinkable, but I don’t ever need it again. So confusing.

Ugh, this sounds unpleasant!

I previously rated this 80, and I stand by that. I’m bad at describing unflavored teas, but I’ll say this is plant-like in a pleasant way. I enjoyed this cold with milk and sugar!

Carpathian Tea Blackcurrant Blend
Kaylee Advent Day 10!
I think I found the right tea online, but the brand name has letters that aren’t on my keyboard, so I’m not going to try to type them. This was a good level of tart, and I could see the fruit being blackcurrant. I did find this to be too thin though. It needed something else in there to give it more body.

I’m drinking this cold with milk and sugar, and it’s quite enjoyable! I taste fruit on a black base, but it’s really well done. I feel like I taste a really distinct raspberry specifically. In some sips, it seems like chocolate covered raspberry, but that’s probably my imagination.

This is so smooth! It’s fruity, but not tart. The tea bases go well together. I really enjoyed this! It was just soft and high quality tasting.

drank Pumpkin Spice by Harney & Sons

Though I love rooibos, I haven’t historically enjoyed Harney’s for some reason (I rated this 60 when I had it 7 years ago). This time around, I appreciate it more. There are some mild spices, and the rooibos combines well with them. It’s definitely improved with milk and sugar. I do get a pumpkin pie-ish vibe from this!

This tastes super floral, but I enjoy that in a black tea. It’s best cold with milk and sugar. The resteep was good as well. I’ve enjoyed the decaf version of this in the past, so it was nice to see that they’re comparable. I wouldn’t have necessarily known this was supposed to be an EG, just a floral black tea, but I don’t mind!

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.

drank Black Fruits by Alice's Tea Cup

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!

Profile

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, D&D, hiking, travel, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender or chamomile), 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
