TTB Review #9: Very unique flavor to this one, I once again struggle to find the appropriate comparison with which to describe it. There are candylike notes coming through which act as natural sweeteners for this black tea. Very enjoyable and delicious.

TTB Review #8: I’ve tried both good and bad mint teas, and this one falls somewhere in the middle. Very run-of-the-mill, nothing noteworthy. Very subtle notes of spearmint.

TTB Review #7: Very pleasant fruity flavor comes through readily without being overpowering. I imagine this would be even more delightful as an iced tea. Overall very unique and enjoyable.

TTB Review #6: I’ve never had a yellow tea before so this was a very new experience for me. To be honest, I don’t really like it, though I did finish my cup. I dunno, something about it was like…pungent vegetable water. I normally don’t mind a vegetal presence in tea but this one just didn’t hit the right notes for me.

TTB Review #5: I knew I’d like this one the moment I smelled it. 100% Christmastime vibes but I’m obsessed with those types of teas all year round. The apple, cinnamon, cardamom, clove, orange, and spices are all meant to be together in this exquisite blend. It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

TTB Review #4: I really like this one! The more floral teas I try, the more I find that I’m a huge fan. This brings me back to memories of going into Teavana at the mall and trying their samples. This tea is great hot, and I’m thinking it would also be good as an iced tea in the summer. But my oh my, the flowery essence of this tea is divine! Love love love it!

TTB Review #3: I like this one much more than the previous Northeast Tea House blend. The flavors are complex and sophisticated. I’m reminded of an English Breakfast-style tea but with more nuance and not nearly as strong. Very much enjoyed this one.

TTB Review #2: Nothing particularly special about this one for me. The flavors are good but I’m not finding anything outstanding.

TTB Review #1: Earthy and woody, almost like a liquid tree but in a good way. The overall flavor is somewhat bitter but there are some sweet undertones that I can’t quite place – almost similar to liquorish, but again not quite. Overall a unique and enjoyable tea, though I probably wouldn’t buy it for myself.

I was skeptical at first because the fragrance seemed rather…artificial (iykyk). But I was pleasantly surprised to find that the flavor was quite mild. I drank this hot but I’m thinking it would work well in the summer as an iced tea.
