I had wanted to stretch out my last little bit of this tea for as long as I could. Sooooooo, for a while now I’ve had just enough for one measly cup just hanging out in my cupboard. When I made it today it was so sad. Not only was it my last bit, it had more chamomile than anything else :/

Now I’m ready for bed! lol, darn chamomile

Lemony! That’s pretty much all I got from this one. It seems like a tea I would really only reach for occasionally if I was feeling under the weather.

Slightly malty, perhaps from the Assam? Not sure as I’ve never had Assam just by itself, but that’s how I see it described and I do pick that up in this tea. The tiger eye has notes of chocolate and caramel, which I’ve also never had by itself, but this tea definitely as that taste. The cinnamon and orange peel in the oriental spice serves to enhance the chocolatey goodness just that much more. I love this tea with sugar. Such a comforting blend, surely it can get you through all those tough Supernatural moments.

Cold brewed is the way to go for this tea. I just dump everything into a pitcher before I go to bed, leave it in the fridge, and strain it in the morning. If I forget to strain it, no big deal, it still tastes great. Eventually I’ll get a pitcher more suited for this. For now this works.

So before when I made this iced I brewed it double strength and then poured it over ice. This time I cold brewed it. I left it in the fridge for waaaaaay longer than I was planning (it was in for about 20hrs) so I was hesitant wen I tried it tonight. I was pleasantly surprised. That bit of fruitiness is great! I did put a bit of sugar in the glass, about 1/2 tsp as I only made one cup.
Still not sure if it’s enough for me to re-purchase, but for now I’ll enjoy my sample.

I am liking this tea more, every time I have it. Usually I drink it plain. The lavender in this is more subtle, and adds mostly to the aroma. The vanilla notes are just absolute perfection. This tea makes me want to go out and try more rooibos!

I think I might go sit in a corner and cry softly into my last cup of Molly Hooper tea. Why? One, because it’s Molly. Two, because it’s the last of my sampler. And three, because when I went to repurchase I saw the “Out of stock” notice.
When this does come back in stock I will certainly be buying a bag!

This one is slightly more floral than the one I tried from Adagio. Again, I got this one as part of the gift I got from my sister- a whole bunch of H&S’s sachets!
I decided to try this one since the Adagio offering turned out to be pretty good. Naturally I wanted to compare. This one seems to be a bit more floral, but still nice. Not sure which one I prefer as they are incredibly similar. Floral teas still aren’t my favorite, but these chamomile teas will be nice when the mood hits me for a relaxing cuppa.

This sachet was included as a sample with one of my orders from Adagio. I have to say, it has been sitting on my counter forever since I didn’t think I would like it. I tend not to like anything overwhelmingly floral. Since I had never actually tried chamomile by itself though, I really have no bias as to what it should taste like. The chamomile is in one of my favorite blends though, and I’m trying to get better at picking out individual taste notes, so I decided today would be as good a day as any to give it a go.

I liked this much more than I anticipated. As for the flavor, I am really lost as to how I want to describe it. Very herby after taste. While it’s not something I would routinely drink by itself, I can now better appreciate it in the blends I like.
