This one was a really nice herbal. It’s herbaceous but has some subtle fruit notes as well specifically peach. The fruit notes aren’t tart and are a nice contrast to the herbs. Easy to drink and interesting. Fusion in the title seems fitting with how the different flavors fuse together. Thanks, Derk!

Unlike with their Apple Chai (need to try that one again) this one, I don’t care much for. The spices here are kind of muddled and very earthy I suppose? Not in a pleasant way. It’s very clove and nutmeg heavy and milk helps but probably a latte method would be ideal. I definitely get pumpkin spice which is a plus but prefer a tea that is balanced in taste prior to adding milk. It’s not bad at all for a bagged tea and for someone who usually makes lattes a good choice. I probably just need to stop expecting a chai to taste good without milk. It smells really good though and the base isn’t bad.

Snagged another bag of this one from an office tea selection. I’ll write more next time but I like this one. The hibiscus doesn’t take over or make it overly tart. It’s woody but also reminiscent of oatmeal more so than a mug of cider. I think of cider as being sweeter and sometimes spice heavy. This tea reminded me more of a maple apple cinnamon crisp or oatmeal. Definitely, very rooibos heavy in terms of taste once it goes cold though. This is one I enjoy snagging a bag of every now and then but don’t crave it enough to buy a box.
