Thanks to Cameron for this! I ultimately prefer Tea Girl’s version, but this one isn’t too “rooibos-y” and the peach is at the forefront, but not cloying. Overall, a nice tea.

There’s a nice blackcurrant flavour here at the forefront. The bergamot is quite hidden, but i didn’t really mind. Thanks Cameron!

This is like a pumpernickel bread with hints of caraway. Absolutely delightful, smooth, and no atsringency — one I would happily order. Thanks Cameron!

This one is quite Darjeeling-esque — light and smooth, with some creaminess. I quite liked this one and wish I had more notes, but left it too long and now my memory only recalls the basics. Thanks for sharing Cameron!

The raspberry here is quite nice, close to subtle, but perhaps one level up from that. I do wish it had a bit more raspberry. The base supports the flavour well and doesn’t overtake. Thanks Cameron for another great single fruit-black tea!

This one has a first flush Darjeeling scent, which I enjoy. The flavour is also very Darjeeling-y, with hay and floral notes. As the tea cools, there’s an edge of astringency that I don’t love. Thanks Cameron!

There’s plenty of cocoa powder here and it adds a nice cocoa bitterness to the taste. The spices are evenly balanced and come through clearly. I forgot about 2/3 of this cup while working and did prefer it hotter, but still tasty cooled. Thanks for sharing Cameron!

Difficult to get past the Ceylon base here, quite metallic.

This one is definitely milky, bordering on a bit too much (for me). Perhaps it’s the 2024 harvest. It’s a lovely oolong overall and I’ll have to order the 2025 harvest to see the differences.

I regularly got 3-4 steeps, Western style.

The dry and steeped smell is the same, a musky dark chocolate. The taste comes through on the end of the sip, but chocolate teas often leave me wanting more (more like hot chocolate haha). Lex loved this one. I appreciate the unique ingredients, but wouldn’t order more than a sample size.
