The name says it all. Reminds me of almond cookies and Disaronno liqueur.

I loathe the original Sleepytime, I think because of the chamomile. There’s chamomile here too, natch, but much like the proverbial spoonful of sugar, the vanilla in this one helps the medicine go down. I keep a box of this in my cupboard at all times, to be consumed whenever the insomnia beast rears its ugly head. Works for me.

Can’t beat a classic. A little orange-y, a little spicy, this is one of those teas that won’t let you down when you just don’t know what you want.

It’s fine. I grew up with Red Rose, so if I’m buying Orange Pekoe at the grocery store, odds are good that I’m sticking with Red Rose. In fact, drinking this tea only serves to make me crave a cup of Red Rose. Meh.

I adore this. I couldn’t even fully explain why. Maybe it’s the brand association more than the tea itself, but this tea is my go-to whenever I’ve got the sads. The whole process of whipping up a cup is instantly comforting. Citrusy without being pucker-inducing, and much more delicate than a cup of Earl Grey. I’ll buy this tea forevermore.

I taste some discernible pumpkin here, unlike other pumpkin spice teas I’ve tried. I’m not sure how I feel about this. I think I actually expected more spice from this. May or may not buy again. I’m on the fence.

Meh. Kind of boring. Bland, no real discernable flavour any which way. Wouldn’t buy again.

Yeah, okay. I don’t really like chamomile tea (got this in a sampler pack), but If I did, I’m sure I’d like this one. The lemony flavour takes the edge off that weird, dusty, weedy characteristic that I always pick up from straight-up chamomile. I’d drink this tea if it was lying around, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy a whole box of it.

Destinatioooon u-unknown, ruby ruby ruby ruby… chai. This is good! Probably the most flavourful chai I’ve ever had that wasn’t from a concentrate. Great with milk, almost tastes like a chai latte from a coffee shop. Very pleasant aftertaste. I’ll buy it again, the next time a cup o’ chai strikes my fancy.

Meh. Normally I love rooibos, but I find this one utterly nondescript. Where is your flavour, Red Mellow Bush? Also, LOL @ the name, because I never matured past the age of 12.
