Try this with milk and you get a creamy cinnamon bun tea with cakey pastry notes. Yum!

drank Prince of Wales by Twinings

I don’t taste any smoke like others have tasted. I get a typical smooth malty but slightly brisk black tea flavour. I had this with a touch of vanilla soy milk and that may have drowned out subtle notes.

Flavors: Malt, Tannin

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 4 min, 0 sec

drank Strawberry Sensation by Ahmad Tea
2987 tasting notes

This tea is surprisingly solid. Sweet, sort of like strawberry flavoured candy, a nice black base, a bit creamy and a thick mouthfeel. I had this with vanilla soy milk and it was almost like strawberry milk but with a great black tea flavour in it.

Flavors: Berries, Strawberry, Thick

I can taste the green tea and licorice root, but not a lot of ginger. The licorice root is sickly sweet and icky. Why can’t a tea called ginger green taste like green tea + ginger?

Flavors: Green, Licorice, Metallic, Sweet

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 2 min, 15 sec

I’ve been drinking this a lot lately because I keep forgetting to wash my steepers and I’m out of paper teabags.

This blend is nostalgic because I have a few relitives that used to serve tea when we went to their house for dinner/occasions. I like this by itself but even more with a splash of vanilla soy milk. It can be resteeped 2-3 times and doesn’t oversteep if you leave the teabag in. I like that it is flexible and fool-proof. It is also caffeine free, contains no hibiscus, and gets quite rich and desserty when you add milk, making for a great morning latte when you want something sweet and decadent.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Nutty, Spicy, Sweet

drank Spiced Ginger Plum by Tea Forte
2987 tasting notes

I thought this would be overly tart, but I actually found it had a good balance of cinnamon, dried fig and plum flavour, and fruity tartness. The spicy combination is nice, very warm and comforting. I wish the ginger was spicier, but overall it is a nice flavourful winter blend.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Dried Fruit, Fig, Plum, Raisins, Spices, Sweet, Tart

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
