This was included as a sample in my most recent order. Thank you!

Compared with the more pithy grapefruit teas I’ve been drinking lately, this one is kind of muted (or gentler). As a hot cup, the base is kind of smoky and vegetal, like asparagus. The citrusy grapefruit and guava are equal parts bitter and sweet. The guava in particular adds a mild flowery element.

As a cold brew the green base is smoother and subdued.. everything is actually. It was pretty sweet and mild, but refreshing enough.

While I prefer a more pithy and nippy grapefruit flavour and less smoky green teas I did enjoy the novelty of the guava here; it’s a different ingredient than what I’m used to! It smells lovely too.

Sipdown! I like having this one on rotation periodically in to my cupboard. It’s not a knowck your socks off tea, but it’s one of my preferred “cacao” teas…likely because it’s not trying to be hot chocolate and has a bit of spice to it.

Had this earlier today. I keep meaning to try it as the box suggests – as more of a latte version, but i forgot. AGAIN. Like the chocolate/chili of this one. Wish i could take advantage of 1$ shipping promo with tea G again

still enjoying this one from teaG. It’s just a really nice herbal for the evenings when i want something that’s less sweet but still satisfying.

Chocolate Chili! not too spicy but enough there to make this an interesting tea that i enjoy. Something about the spiciness as well that makes this tea less “watery” than a lot of cacao teas.

still loving this one :)

Yes, this is good. I drank it alongside a cup of Jayida Ché’s Rooibos Vanilla Chai and I just feel so spoiled right now. Wow, awesome consecutive tea lattes.

If you’ve had Vancouver based Bayswater’s Creme Brulee/Divine Temptation this blend is kind of a relative. It’s smooth and rich, wearing its dessert tea status on the cuff of its sleeve. I had some reservations about the rooibos/black tea blend but it’s easy to forget that “they” exist half the time. Once I run out and when my cupboard is less ridiculous (in 2021) I’ll likely suck it up (argh shipping) and reorder, if just for the fantastic O’Connor’s Cream and this. Yum.

blah. Getting rid of this tea. Sample over to variaTEA but since i’m fairly certain that she won’t love it anymore than i do, the rest is just going to be pitched. It really just tastes like plain boring hojicha to me…which is fine to drink..but not when you’re expecting chocolate and hazelnut!

not a fan of this one so far…will have to share with roswell/variatea and see if they can make it work lol I’ll keep working on drinking it until then…

one of these days i’ll do a proper review…when steepster is working and i’m drinking the tea. This is not as high on my love list as the others from tea G though.
