I’m amazed this doesn’t have a higher rating on here. Then again, if a tea is marketed as any kind of “fall-winter-holiday-xmas” type, there’s a great chance I’m going to adore it. This one was no exception – I thoroughly enjoy the blend of cinnamon, cardamom, clove, and whatever other spices are included. It might be 90 degrees here today but this tea brings me back to cool winds and fall scarves.

I really enjoyed this one, so much so that I waited until the last bag in my box before writing this review (ok, the delay was mostly due to being extremely busy). Anyway, some mornings I like a little cuppa something strong, and since I can’t do coffee (too much caffeine that ends up giving me trouble sleeping), I opted to try this. It’s so nice! Rich, malty, and with a viscous mouthfeel, this tea is an excellent substitute for coffee and brings forth a decent amount of caffeine.

One of the smoothest ginger teas I’ve ever had. It brings forth the strength and zing of the ginger without being overwhelming which is a rare treat. Very nice!

A nice change from the alcohol-heavy teas of earlier. This one is mild, light, and pleasant. Some vegetal notes, almost a little grassy. Would have liked a little more flavor coming through but overall it’s fine.

Ick, another tea with what seems like a strong aftertaste of alcohol, and not the good kind. Individually I can taste what’s supposed to be strawberry and vanilla, but together I’m just getting an overwhelming taste of the alcohol that makes up vanilla extract. Bleh.

Strong alcohol flavor but not in an unpleasant way. Reminiscent of rum/bourbon and coke.

Definitely tastes like Christmas! I enjoy everything about this tea, from the warm spices to the slight citric flavor to the intriguing clove (or something that reminds me of clove). I’m surprised a white tea was able to bring forth so much flavor that I’d usually find in a black tea. Delicious!

Interesting mix of mint and floral, notably rose and lavender. Honestly I could have done without the mint but I’m not complaining too much, it works well together. Maybe if the mint were a bit more tempered this would have been perfect, but as it stands, it is acceptable.

A little disappointed with this one, I had hoped for more prominent notes of bergamot as is typical in most earl grey teas. I’m not sure what blueflower typically tastes like, but I’m getting subtle notes of sweetness which may be related. Overall it’s good but not great.

Very tasty, like hot chocolate only less sweet which I actually prefer. I know lots of tea-lovers like to add milk to blends like these but I went without and, honestly, I think it tasted great. If you like 90% dark chocolate, then you’ll probably like this tea.
