Finally a tea that doesn’t skimp on the lemon! Bold and full of flavor, this is all about the lemon zest. I’m drinking the decaf version but would be interested in trying a caffeinated version for my mornings.

A tasty combination of green tea and black currant. I didn’t realize what I’d been missing out on by having never tried this flavor before.

Side note – my mom uses black currant when she makes pickles and they are some of THE BEST pickles I’ve ever had.

I’ve yet to try an English Breakfast blend that I did not like, and this was no exception. Very hearty, smooth, silky…altogether a very enjoyable cuppa black tea.

I would have liked the flavors to be stronger. The orange certainly comes through but the cinnamon and spices leave much to be desired. I think this one would taste better as a cold tea, will have to try that at some point to confirm.

Had high hopes for this one but ultimately I found that the flavor left much to be desired. I didn’t use too much water so it couldn’t have been overly diluted. Had a lot of potential but just wish that the pomegranate and raspberry notes were more prominent.

A lovely cup of regular green tea, good for those times when I know I want to sip on something but don’t want to pay much attention to it. Very enjoyable.

A gift from Russia, reminds me of my childhood in Russia (appropriately). I find it a bit mild compared to the strong black teas I remember, but nothing to complain about. The lemon flavor goes well with the notes of the tea and overall I find this to be a pleasant beverage for a weekend morning.

I kind of had a feeling I wasn’t going to like this one as soon as I opened the tea bag. WAYYYY too sweet for my tastes, plus I’ve never been a fan of butterscotch or blondies in general. But, guess you can’t knock it ’till you try it.

It does taste better than it smells, in my opinion (insofar as the taste isn’t quite as pungently sweet as the smell). All the same, I really don’t care for the taste either. Again, I’m really not big on overly sweet things, particularly when it comes to beverages, so my review is entirely biased.

Well now, it has certainly been a minute since I last logged in. I notice that I tend to come back to this site when I’m drinking new teas, and I tend to drink new teas when my life feels “good”, for lack of better word. Well, my windows are open, the air is cool, and fall seems to finally be here, and I feel in incredibly high spirits. So, here we are!

This tea is sweet and has hints of the pineapple, but isn’t overbearing. Overall, I would say this was a great way to enjoy the afternoon. Happy Fall everyone!
