I’ve had a few cups of this while watching Doctor Who. I like the scent a lot, it’s very similar to these chocolate covered blueberries I really enjoy. The flavour is nicely berry, and a bit of chocolate. The blueberry is more prominent. Makes for a good afternoon tea.

I love the smell of blueberries in the morning. The flavour does remind me of blueberry pastries. Though the berry flavour is a bit too mild. Cinnamon makes a nice addition.

This smells so nice. It reminds me of these chocolates I get at the Japanese grocery store. Has a good berry/ chocolatey flavour too. Good, but I prefer the Sundae blend.

It smells kinda fruity. The flavour is like key lime, but not as creamy. Nice tea, but I like the rooibos blend better.

This tea smells really nice. Nicely floral, and chocolatey. The flavour is sweet, sorta like this rose jelly I had once. The chocolate seems to have gotten hidden. Otherwise, it’s sweet with a vague cherry taste.

Stargate sipdown. I didn’t think I liked chocolate teas, but Della Terra kept insisting that I did. This smells really nice. The flavour is like having a creamy hot chocolate.

After having their other chocolate teas, this one is a little plain. It’s still good.

Stargate and chocolate? Sounds like a good time!

This has a nice spicy scent. I do love the spices in this. Nice blend of cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon. The flavour is mostly cardamom, which is good. And goes really well with soy milk.

I do so like oranges. This one smells nice. The flavour is pretty much orange and currants. Good hot, but maybe better iced. I don’t really get much vanilla flavour, which would have been nice.

This smells sweet, tastes pretty sweet too. Good, but I thin it needs some berry flavour. Or maybe a little vanilla.
