Pretty nice, but not as good as I remember it being. Mainly has a maple syrup flavor because the added sugar clouds everything. I’m going to sip it down but it’s not a repurchase for me.

Another swapped tea from Cameron! I liked this blend, it was malty and nutty with a touch of that sugar cookie flavor. I prefer Raspberry Linzer Cookie Black from Plum Deluxe but this was a nice cuppa!

An amazing dessert blend! I loved this blend it tasted just like my favorite biscuits: Kammie Dodgers. It’s cakey, full of raspberry flavor, and has a touch of cinnamon to wrap it all perfectly in a delicious bow. A new permanent addition to my stash I just have to wait for the holiday teas to come back so I can grab more.

Another swapped tea from my lovely friend Cameron! I adored this blend, it was the perfect cozy pick-me-up that I needed in my fall stash (especially during a stressful week). It’s nutty, creamy, and sweet with a touch of toastiness that is perfect for the colder months. I’m definitely making this an essential in my collection.

I love this blend! As a tea AND coffee lover, this blend nails the white mocha latte flavor I wanted from other blends that I’ve tried in the past. Its slightly sweet, has that smooth vanilla/ white chocolate note, and that roasty coffee bean flavor throughout, plus you can still taste the black tea. If Vanilla Cappucino from David’s Tea was too sweet for you ( it was for me) this one is the way to go!

This blend was one that I tried in the SVTTB and I fell in love with it. I loved the vanilla creme and chocolate flavors laced in one candy dessert tea blend. I really like how the malty black tea base complemented the chocolate flavors.

A smooth, creamy, bold black tea with a bit of honey flavor. I guess I should listen to my friend’s recommendations. I absolutely love this one even though it is a bit pricey for me as a college student. While I love it and would accept it gladly as a Christmas gift 16 dollars for 50 grams is just not in my budget. However, I’m so happy I tried it because now I know to explore more straight black teas.

Flavors: Honey, Malt, Wet Wood

Profile

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

I love doing swaps and if you’re interested in anything in my cupboard let me know!
