The Traveling Teapot

For my tastes, I had to use a teaspoon and a half or two teaspoons to my water ratio, but the flavor profile of this tea is as described. You get a sweet aroma and a true maple taste, along with some black tea (which is very smooth and not as strong as the maple). This is especially delicious with a hint of seeet we and adding milk. I only needed a small amount of both of those to bring out the creamy notes and crave another cup. This tea smells fresh, arrives in good condition, and smells and tastes like it sounds!

From my August Sips by box.

This one was just okay. I can taste the mango, but there’s also something very perfumey here, and I’m not sure if it’s the mango flavoring they used or something else. It tastes super floral, but in a chemical way instead of a fresh one. I also don’t taste orange at all, sadly. I think some citrus freshness would’ve really helped to combat that perfume quality. The base is generic, it’s not really contributing much other than body and a standard tea-ish (lol) flavor.

Still drinkable, but not a winner.
