Oh boy, placing my Boxing Day order on B&B’s overburdened website late last night was a nightmare, as is tradition.

This was a free sample from my summer order. It doesn’t need any sugar due to the natural sweetness of the licorice. I enjoy licorice teas, and this one is pretty good. Not much to say about it since it doesn’t distinguish itself too much from others. I’ll say it’s not an overbearing amount of licorice. It’s pleasant as a nice cold cup. I might like regular grocery store versions a little more, so I’d probably choose them first, especially since they’re much cheaper.

I stayed up to catch it, but was disappointed sadly. It was my first year checking it out, but I thought maybe some of their regular teas would go on sale — my mistake!

AJRimmer

Yeah I only got three on sale items and a bunch of regular priced things to take advantage of free shipping.

Martin Bednář

I got three teas I didn’t knew they carry and sounded nice; and I took one tea bag box for my Swiss friend as a surprise :)

Courtney

Good call! Which teas did you end up getting AJRimmer and Martin? My cart was already over the free shipping threshold haha! I just decided to wait and get it later.

Martin Bednář

Favourite Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, Mint Pistachio as I like pistachios and Banana Bread Chai as it just sounded good.

Ah, I forgot: I took one not in sale, called simply “Relax”. Hopefully it will calm me down in upcoming year :)

AJRimmer

Sweet n salty popcorn, hibiscus mint, and figgy pud from the sale! There are a few blends I’m waiting to purchase until a different time as well – showing restraint yay!

There is no way I can stay up late enough to get to the sale before most of the items are already sold out. I checked this morning, and as is tradition for me, it was mostly gutted. But sometimes I grab “non sale” items while the shipping is free (since it is only free International Shipping twice a year) and this time I just got the Cherry Cola tea.

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
