Tea Goblin (Sips by)

This tastes a bit like sugar cookie sleigh ride from Celestial Seasonings, which I was glad to find a box of this holiday season after a few years without. I’m kind of obsessed with how sparkly this tea is. It also tastes somewhat like the various forever nuts spinoffs. Not bad, just not special, and a little weak. Pleasant with milk and sugar overleafed.

From a Sips by box. I taste the strawberry and the green tea. It’s a pretty straightforward blend. Though the base isn’t the most delicious green tea I’ve found, I’m really enjoying the strawberry flavoring, and I think the branding is unique and fun. Cold, this is pretty enjoyable!

I love the flavors in this. Brewed two cups from one and a half teaspoons and added brown sugar and a bit of sweet cream creamer. It was wonderful. Full of flavor and a warmth that makes me enjoy chai and ginger drinks. I am bummed that this is only available on Sipsby because otherwise, I’d totally buy it again.

From the autumn box.

Wow, this is spice overload. It’s a combination of sweet cinnamon flavoring and quite a lot of anise, along with an odd earthy/rooty note from the chicory. None of those are things I dislike per se, it’s just a bit much all together. Plus there are half a dozen other spices mixed in as well.

Too sweet, and too much going on for me. Then again I did use quite a lot of leaf, as I always do. I wish I could taste the oolong or the gunpowder green tea.
