Reviewing in retrospect.
If I want something vaguely vanilla and vaguely coffee, I’ll go to Starbucks and get full vanilla and full coffee instead. This was somehow both too weak and too strong.
Might try it again with milk and see if that improves things.

Oh yes, I would drink this again. And buy a hoard for sick days.
Ginger heat was a great pick-me-up on a rainy day. Flavor held up for about 3 steeps.

Reviewing in retrospect, which might be dangerous.
Not a flavored teas gal and wasn’t expecting to enjoy this. Did not like it the first time I tried it. Was pleasantly surprised the second time — not sure if that’s down to 3am study hunger or the fact that I used a higher tea:water ratio.

Flavors: Chocolate, Coconut, Cream, Nuts, Sweet

Not a fan of flavored teas. Especially not a fan of flavored teas containing things that melt and leave nasty oily circles on top of my drink. Obviously I was not going to be impressed by this one (however nice it smells!).

Kept resteeping in hopes of getting past the chocolate to the black/pu erh base. Got some nice earthy hints on the third steep when I focused really hard on tasting.

Tried with more leaves and milk. Quite good with the milk!

Flavors: Chocolate, Earth
