This is a nice black tea – but it reminds me of Honey Black, as in there’s a nice sweet honey note to it. It would be good with milk too.

This tea smells like a cinnamon candle. (Which is weird in a tea) And not surprisingly, tastes very strongly of cinnamon. I figured I’d try it since it was sent to me. It has a hint of black tea of course but its mostly cinnamon and spice. Warming.

I bought a small amount to sample this tea since its been discontinued this year. I don’t mind straight oolongs sometimes. This one reminds me of Quangzhou Milk Oolong, also from DT. It has a nice creamy note to it, and I can also taste the oolong of it. I always like how the leaves unfurl when they steep. It’s also a little bit floral. It’s a lovely straight oolong – although I wouldn’t stock up on it. Just glad I got to try it.

This is a good tea if you like lemon. It’s also a different type I’ve never heard of called ‘Yaupon’, so that’s interesting. It has a nice lemon flavour and its good with a little sugar or even honey. This tea is also good iced as well. I think its the only one I really enjoyed from the feel good collection.

I don’t know what that icky flavour is, but its disgusting. I think I maybe taste the coconut and vanilla – which are both ingredients I HATE… Oh well.

Ew. I was crazy about this when it was re-released last year – but I quickly grew to hate it. Maybe its the nuts, I don’t know, but I just had to dump the rest down the drain.

I found that DT has made a lot of desserty teas this year, but I tend to try most of them, and this one is pretty good. When I first tried it I didn’t know what to think. I have tried it as a latte, hot, and iced, and I finally decided I liked it when I had it iced with some sweetener. But now I like it hot as well. It’s really grown on me, so I stocked up before it left.
I definitely get a ‘cake’ flavour in this tea. I think it lives up to its name. I enjoy the lemon flavour too, and I’m getting a kind of creamy taste with this. It’s sweet, but its balanced with the lemon zest. Overall it’s a good tea.

This is a good tea if you like chocolate in your tea. I tend to have this more around October/Halloween time. It tastes strongly of chocolate with a hint of cinnamon-y goodness, and I barely notice the coconut, which is great. This tea is lovely hot, or as a latte. Sweet and chocolatey. It’s all in how you steep the tea, though. Sometimes I get a weird aftertaste with this tea – and sometimes I don’t. I don’t know why.

Another straight tea to sipdown today. This one I don’t mind at all. It’s a good quality tea. So I got 50g when it came out, so I could try it. It reminds me of regular orange pekoe tea, but has a sweetness to it that I like. I presume I could steep this a second time as well. I think it would be good with a touch of milk as well, but its just as good without. Very smooth. It’s not a favourite, but I do enjoy it.

BACKLOG – This tea I first tried iced and it was pretty good, so I bought 50g of it when it was the tea of the month last year. But soon I found that it bothered my tongue after a while of drinking it… I’m pretty sure its the citric acid in the ingredients that does this. I have a very sensitive tongue when it comes to things like acidic foods or in this case, drinks. It’s just sad because I really do like this tea. I’m just taking a long time to finish what I have of it.
I found a loophole though, I mixed it with Pink Lemonade and it wasn’t so bad on my tongue. So that’s good. Overall though, this is a refreshing summer iced tea. (If you like lemonade)
