I really enjoy this tea, it’s fruity with a hit of syrup and marzipan. It’s light and sweet and refreshing. I think this will be a rebuy eventually… just have a sample for now.

Flavors: Cherry, Light, Marzipan, Strawberry, Syrupy

Marzipan does sound very “Little Women,” doesn’t it?

I… don’t like this. I’m considering composting or gifting because I don’t want to sip it down. It’s very chemically and I’m just… not interested.

Flavors: Chemical, Syrupy

I got a 4oz bag of this when I was in Albany in the spring. Most of their teas were only sold in 4oz bags in-store so I ended up with a ton of this. It’s not my favorite, I’m still stuck with about 3 oz of this so… it’s definitely a sip down for me. I’m working through what I have from TWK before I make an order because I love a few of their teas just.. not this one. The combination of coconut and almond tastes soapy? And not in a good way like rosy teas do if that makes sense?

Flavors: Alfalfa, Almond, Coconut, Paper, Soap

This blend is a new seasonal blend from Murchies and I have to say… its a bit different than I thought. That being said, I still enjoy it a lot! I was expecting a lot of coconut flavor like the coconut cream but the marzipan flavor really takes over on this one which surprised me a little given the coconut flavor in their other blends. A definite rebuy to stock up for after the holidays are over!

Flavors: Alcohol, Almond, Marzipan, Rum

NEW MURCHIES HALL ALERT!!! (also my cupboard is finally up to date as of 10/22/24)

I was a bit hesitant with this based on some notes I’d read but this to me smells and tastes just like eggnog. I really think that this would be great as a latte and even better sweetened! I really like this one… perhaps a new favorite caffeine free blend?

Flavors: Brown Sugar, Cream, Creamy, Eggnog, Honey, Milk, Rooibos, Spices, Vanilla

I’m loving this blend, especially during the cold mornings with a splash of milk and sweetener. It’s rich, creamy, malty and sweet. Love it!

This blend is pretty good, I didn’t get much of anything flavor wise until I sweetened it. I found it best sweetened with milk but I don’t think I’m going to repurchase it again. This is going in the sipdown bin.

That’s so interesting, I felt like this one had a pretty strong maple flavor to it. Different strokes ha ha! :)

Found a tiny bit of this one in my work bag. I honestly don’t remember trying it but it looks like the old subscription packaging (I really miss it). I really liked this blend, the fennel is really nice. It’s best with a splash of milk in my humble opinion but I also liked it plain. Wish I had more than just one cups worth… will be looking for more.

Okay soooo this is definitely a new favorite from DAVIDs TEA. I grew up in the early 2000s and this was such a nostalgic flavor for me. I honestly think it was perfectly done, not too sweet and really good hot but preferred it iced/cold brewed. I got to try this lovely blend as a part of a Mother’s Day gift plan Kelly aka @roswellstrange helped me with. Thank you thank you Kelly! Now I have another favorite to gush about!

Flavors: Berry, Blue Raspberry, Candy, Cherry, Fruity, Juicy, Sweet

Bio

My name is Gabriella but everyone calls me Gabby! I am a 20-year-old college student living in NY, majoring in History and Elementary Education. In my spare time, I post reviews and little pieces of writing on my blog, read books, play video games, write poetry, and love to cuddle up with my two-year-old hound dog Buddy.
I have interesting tea preferences, to say the least:
Definitely a mood drinker, and I tend to change my preferences often, if I have a bad experience with a specific flavor or tea type I end up avoiding it for a while, then dive back in later. I also prefer my teas plain but will sometimes make lattes.

Flavor Preferences:

Fruit: mainly melon, berry, and apple flavors are my favorites. I’m allergic to pineapple, passionfruit, and kiwi.
Dessert: Almost all flavors dessert-wise are welcome I especially love warm and comforting flavors like caramels, chocolates, cookies/biscuits, crumbles, and muffin.
Floral: I prefer violets, lavender, roses, and mallow flowers. Open to all florals, allergic to dandelions.
Spices: I love lightly spiced blends but some like the infamous Hot Cinnamon Spice is too much for me.
Herbs: My favorites are mint, rosemary, sage, thyme, and sometimes basil.
Favorite Companies:
Harney and Sons
Simpson and Vail
White 2 Tea
Plum Deluxe
Trader Nicks
Friday Afternoon
