Accidentally let this one get cold. All I can think of while drinking it are those gummy peach rings! It tastes so much like them to me. It’s a very sweet, candy-like fruity tea. I know those aren’t for everyone but I’m liking this tea!

Sipped this tea during a zoom meeting that required a little emotional support! This had a large chunk of star anise in it, so it was very chai-y and tasty. It does make me worry that other cups will be quite variable though.

It definitely has a sweet buttercream flavor. I can’t say I get much caramel specifically, so I would consider this more of a Buttercream Chai. Overall, it’s not bad, I just wish I got more caramel flavor

This is a surprisingly earthy lapsang, at least compared to what I’m used to. It has a nice smoky flavor, I just wish it was stronger! Next time, I may overleaf a little and see how that goes

I found a cute little tea shop about 5 minutes from my apartment, just nestled in between a liquor store and a grocery store that I’ve somehow always missed. I stopped in and grabbed a few of my favorite flavors to give them a try. I got this tea, a coconut chai, and a lapsang souchong, so fingers crossed at least one of them is tasty!

I steeped this for 4 and a half minutes with milk and it’s turning out a little weak. I think I may have put in too much milk unfortunately. I get a hint of floral that I think is the lady grey, and no lavender as far as I can tell. I’m not rating this yet because I think this may have been a case of human error.

Next time I’ll either try it with no milk OR go all out and make a full-on latte. We’ll see which one calls to me!

This round of steeping ended up with a lot less ginger than usual, and now I’m reminded of those little peaches and cream oatmeal packets. Those were always my favorite ones so I’m enjoying this cup!
