This is a solid Sri Lanka black tea. From what people tell me, it’s the sort of tea that tastes and smells just like what the most people think a black tea ‘normally’ tastes and smells like. I quite enjoy it with chocolate, biscuits, or anything sweet to calm the astringency.

Yick. blah. dont like it. dont like it at all.

This tea is quite nice. It has more of a cocoa taste than a sweet chocolate taste. Its quite good.

So sweet and tasty. I love this tea.

fluoro… tasty… but so fluoro.

i cannot get enough of this tea :) such a problem becasue i always drink it to close to the time i go to bed which keeps me up. but such a beautiful taste with the hint of strawberries

i really love this tea. i was though, expecting a greater flavour, but I still really enjoy it. I haven’t yet tried it iced, but I will definitely try it when spring hits

I tried using this tea for a traditional chai where you heat milk with the tea on the stove. While spice mix was good it took an very very long time to infuse and even then it was much to weak. There is simply not even black tea in the mix for a satisfactory cup of chai.

This is just amazing. Its definitely bizarre but so good. When first brewed it turns a dark greeny blue but then turns to a yellowy colour when brewed.

When you take a sip its herbaceous but then has a super sweet aftertaste. It is just so tasty. Love it.

Although I am not a fan of artificially flavoured teas in any capacity, Monk Pear is definitely one of the better ones by T2. The pear flavour is subtle but sweet and is a refreshing change from the classic orange you find in most traditional Earl Greys.

I received this as a gift but unfortunately found it difficult to finish the box… Although it smells lovely, the artificial strawberry taste is too reminiscent of the horrible cheap pink lip gloss I remember from my childhood.

I adore this intensely.
This captures the season perfectly and I often have this after a long day to help me wind down.

Dry, it smells sweet and spicy.
Once brewed, everything comes together and it doesn’t taste as artificial as a lot of T2’s flavoured teas do.

It’s fresh AND soothing.
There are enough slices of orange to give it a bit more kick but cardamom and clove bring such a warmth that you feel yourself glowing from the inside out.
The little meringues are an absolute treat as well! They don’t add much sweetness to the tea itself so I usually pick them out and gobble them up beforehand.

The reason why I purchased this was because it smelled absolutely amazing in store.
I had not tried fruit teas previously so was not sure what to expect but I had a somewhat positive experience with this.

The taste is very light, regardless of how long you steep it, which is not something I particularly like. I find myself actually eating it straight from the tin rather than drinking it. This would be more appropriate in warmer weather as an ice tea so I’ve left it in the back of the cupboard in favour of T2’s Autumn.

Sunday mornings are busy with getting the family ready for church, but tea is still a necessity. This was one of the teas that started me on the tea lover’s path. Made with milk and honey, it’s just a sweet, easy, no-thinking-required tea. But it’s actually been two or three weeks since I’ve had this one because I’ve been so involved with sampling new teas, primarily premium “straight” teas. So, sadly, this feels thin today. I’m enjoying it enough, but I suppose I can expect my senses to develop like this so that I kind of “grow out of” some of these teas. That definitely doesn’t mean that I won’t make it again. I could never discount a tea, especially an old favourite, because it just didn’t stand up on a single occasion!

Edited to add: Ok, it has been a little bit of time since I last made this. I obviously forgot how little milk I used to add. Fixed that on this last cup. Much better, can taste the tea more now, and back to not having to think about it. The way a Sunday morning should be.

I do really like this tea, but worked out after a few migraines that my problem was with the hazelnuts in this blend. Hazelnuts aren’t listed as a flavour on the description for this tea, but is mentioned when you look at the ingredients. So if you are sensitive to them, then just be aware. I’ve switched to Terrific Toffee also from T2, and it is a fantastic replacement!

Backlogging from yesterday.

Hubby was supposed to be out tonight, but he wasn’t feeling well today so he stayed home the whole day and night. But I’d already settled myself into the idea of an evening to myself, so I let him watch football while I went upstairs to read in bed—and have a secret pecan pie-like bar I got from the bakery today! That was guilty pleasure enough, so I had this Turkish Apple to go with it. It’s just refreshing.

I’ve got a quiet night to myself. Husband is out for a couple hours, kids are sleeping, and I’ve already passed my caffeine limit for the evening. The nice tang of this lets me have something sweet and light that’s also warming on this cool night. I really can’t feel ever guilty about Turkish Apple.

This is my absolute favorite tea. I have the very last of it in my teapot right now! I have always loved green teas, they’re possibly my favorite variety, and China Jasmine is a beautiful blend. It still has the full flavor of more potent varieties (like gunpowder green, my old favorite!) but it’s less full on. The Jasmine compliments the flavor beautifully, and I find it to be a light, delicate version of green. Aesthetically, the leaves themselves are nicely twisted, and unfurl nicely in the pot. The aroma is pleasant, and reflects the delicate nature of the tea. I often drink several cups at a time of this, whereas I find some green teas get too bitter and strong to continue drinking if you don’t finish them quickly enough. China Jasmine is easy to brew, with boiling water not spoiling the flavor (although brewing it correctly is advised, of course.), and all around it is a difficult tea not to love!

So delicate and refreshing. I love the smell and the way it warms me with its beautiful blossom aroma

Can’t start the day without a beautiful cup of this Tea. The tea bag turns my morning tea into a very stylish and delicious experience. I think I’m going to officially give up coffee!

A slightly different but gorgeous chai tea. Overall, I tend to like it stronger, and will on occasion just leave the tea at the bottom of the mug whilst I drink.
Excellent with a touch of soy milk and honey, as pretty much all chai teas are.
I tend to love this tea morning to early afternoon, as it gives a slight energy kick.

A good occasional tea, if you like sweet teas. It works quite lovely with cream and a teaspoon of sugar in the evening, but isn’t something I could have all the time.
You have to really like sweet tea though, and the steep time is really a hit-or-miss thing.
