Wow, this blend is really nice! I wasn’t expecting to like it that much after the original fail with Chow Hall (which I found I ended up loving cold brewed). It was absolutely delicious! Part of it I think is the creme brulee oolong base but I does taste like Pecan Pie! I can’t wait to try this cold brewed.
Flavors: Burnt Sugar, Caramel, Cream, Pecan
I don’t know how I forgot to add this to my cupboard but oh well! This blend is special to me because the scent reminds me of my Grandfather (he is still with us, it’s not morbid but just nostalgic!). That being said, I have to agree with a lot of the other notes…
This blend is more of a Russian Earl Grey rather than a Russian Caravan. Luckily, I like both. I tend to enjoy smokier teas though I don’t own many at the moment. This blend is a bit bolder than a traditional Earl Grey but I wouldn’t say that it is that smoky. Faintly, yes but it is rather nice.
I still can’t get over the fact that I have never spoken about this tea before! I love this blend and I think that I have been drinking it for around three years now. Yes, because my original start on Instagram and my old blog was back in 2019 and I think I found S&V in January of 2020 so… yeah. Pretty cool. I love it iced, cold brewed, as a latte, or hot with a touch of honey!
Flavors: Bergamot, Biting, Bitter, Bourbon, Brisk, Earl Grey, Malt, Thick
Hmm… I think this one is a tad older but that’s fine I got it on clearance but the main note is the green tea with a hint of coconut and a whisper of cranberry. I like it though, I prefer it cold/ iced… I may cold brew the other half of the sample packet.
Flavors: Alcohol, Bitter, Coconut, Cranberry, Cream, Flat
Hmmm I think that I am going to do another rating change because I gave this blend another shot, cold brewed this time. Hot it was rather bland however, cold brewed I got the caramel and cinnamon with a light apple flavor. Not juicy apple, but baked apple. I’m going to average the scores together for the final rating because I am planning on grabbing more in the future for my cold brew only pile. Hot score: 65 Cold score: 85
Flavors: Apple, Apple Candy, Cinnamon
OH MY GOODNESS!!! This has to be one of the absolute best cider herbal blends that I have ever tried. For the hibiscus haters, it’s not at all strong… it is more for color I believe and that teeny amount provides the perfect tartness to make this blend juicy like real cider. It’s sooo sooo good hot and iced. I made the whole 1 oz in a pot to share and I may need to grab more… lol when my ban is over.
Flavors: Anise, Apple, Berry, Cider, Fruity, Red Wine, Spices
