This was a little basic. Somewhat alcohol-tasting almond flavoring on a rooibos base. I’ve seen this flavor profile done better.

I don’t usually like lime teas, but it’s soft and nice here. The tea base is quite delicate. I taste a mild lime paired with something light and pillowy. It’s not sour, just light and fruity. The flavor could be a little stronger, but I won’t complain. The third time I had this, it was extra marshmallowy and nice.

This combination isn’t really working for me. Perhaps it’s the ginseng? The blend just has its own herbal sweetness that I don’t like. I wish it were balanced differently because these spices just end up pretty herbal and boring. It’s not a hearty, spicy chai.

This tastes a lot like S&V’s blueberry cinnamon crumble. It may be the same blueberry flavoring, but this one doesn’t have the baked good flavors, and it’s also slightly starchy from the pumpkin. I’ve quite enjoyed this so far, though I would buy blueberry crumble instead, especially since it’s half the price.

This is mildly spiced and pretty decent with some milk and sugar. It’s a pretty good pumpkin spice tea. I get a bit of pumpkin along with the mild spices. It could be more heavily flavored or evenly spiced, but it’s good enough to mindlessly sip at work.

I’m drinking this cold, and somehow it doesn’t really taste like much. I get a bit of a berry flavor, and I also taste some of the bland planty base. It’s all quite weak though. Nelson’s has some decent herbal teas, but none of the caffeinated ones have worked for me.

This is mild, but pleasant. I wouldn’t call this carrot cake, but it’s lightly spiced with a nice green rooibos base. I wouldn’t order it again, but it was decent enough sweetened with milk.

I’ve tried a lot of chai in my life, and this is one of the better ones! It’s a tiny bit spicy, but mostly warming and evenly spiced. It’s hearty enough even with the rooibos base. Possibly the first tea from the herbal advent calendar I’d consider purchasing.

I liked this much more than I expected to. The green tea is lovely, and on top of that, I taste some pleasant spices and some fruitiness. I enjoyed this one at all temperatures, though perhaps room temperature is best. I definitely understand the chutney direction, which was such an unexpected and fun flavor idea. The resteep tastes almost the same as the first. I finished my bag of this faster than any previous green tea.

This has a lot of ingredients, but all I really taste is the murky mint. It was okay cold, but it’s not one of the better mint teas I’ve had.
