From what I remember this is good. I drank it during a rather upsetting meeting so I don’t remember the particulars but I’m pretty sure it was good.

Dragged this out of the freezer to add to the morning work matcha rotation. It smells…weird. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Like some sort of green unripe fruit that I can’t identify.

As for taste, I made it as a hot sweetened matcha latte and it was decent. There was still a bit of that fruit I don’t know what it is but overall it’s fairly tasty. Staying in my freezer this whole time definitely preserved the flavour pretty well, for which I’m grateful.

Wasn’t I just thinking about this tea? It showed up in the free tea area of the work kitchen and I am so excited to try it! I won’t even have to buy some to find out if I like it or not.

Gotta say, the smell of butterscotch is really strong. This is definitely a really desserty tea. It’s making my whole cube smell like butterscotch.

Taste-wise? Wow! Tasty! I added sweetener and milk because it’s a dessert black tea and it is really really good. I can taste the cardamom and cinnamon and what must be the chicory root and I was a bit afraid of that combination, seems like it would be too spicy for me but it’s actually very true to the butterscotch taste, with a bit of warmth at the end of the sip. I’d drink this again. I might even buy some if I come across some in the grocery store.

I added some milk to this on the recommendation from one of the other reviews of this tea and it tastes just like caramel apple cider to me. From those powder packets. I added a bit of sugar but still. It smells fantastic but the taste is just okay. Still, a good cup.

I have a couple of single serve bags of this from…somewhere. They came free with something but I don’t remember what. After the Honey Yuzu debacle of this morning, I had higher hopes for this one.

It smells really fruity for something named ‘cucumber mint’. I can definitely taste the spearmint and sorta blueberry and a sort of flatness of the cucumber. It’s an interesting combination but not one I’m interested in drinking again. But it is drinkable at least. There is that.

I’m not sure what yuzu is or what is in this tea to make it so yuck but it is definitely yuck. I couldn’t even finish it. Took about 2 swallows and had to pour it down the drain. Medicinal and something but it is not good.

Had this twice in the last 2 days. It still smells absolutely delicious but the taste leaves something to be desired. Undoubtedly because of age. Still, black matcha isn’t bad even if the flavouring is mostly gone. I made it at home and brought it in to work in a thermos for the first time rather than making matcha at work from my limited flavours.

The caffeine burst actually made me productive before 6am, who knew that could happen?

Banana taste was a bit mild but that might be age. I opened this one recently and it sat in my freezer for way too long, but it still quite tasty when made into a latte. Too bad I’m really limited to one of these per day if I want to sleep at night or I might go back for another one.

Well this is definitely an oolong, which I generally don’t like, but I treaterd this one very gently and it is not too bad, all things considered. I really don’t love it though and it is a bit of a mystery why it didn’t go out during the great tea purge of 2017.

Sipdown! I probably put a bit too much in this matcha latte I made but I was so close to finishing this that I just dumped what was left into my sifter and hoped for the best.

It frothed up really well considering it’s age. Mint is a flavour that tends to linger and that was true this time too, although the mint was much much milder than originally. Mostly I get very mild green tea flavour. Still tasty and caffeinated but I’m glad to see it go! That means I only have 2 types of matcha at work and I should probably bring in a few more for some variety if I’m going to drink one every morning (which is what I’m trying to do).
