baked apple chai

reminds me of when we’d have apple cider with cinnamon sticks

alpine punch

it’s back in stock! also using my big 500 ml mug to use my fancy tea maker ^_^

very cherry

should’ve added sugar – tastes like a halls lozenge lol

jungle crush

smelled dreadful so added sugar and it turned out pretty well

frozen raspberry

I don’t really like raspberries so dunno what I expected lol

maui madness

this is really tasty but settles at the bottom of the mug

just peachy

it’s actually quite nice, though a bit artificial tasting

bahama blue

this reminds me of mixing dragonfruit devotion and blueberry kona pop from teavana RIP ETA: does not resteep well alternate pov: good enough the first time

strawberry lemonade

bought a new cup to use for iced tea since, with all the windows, my new office isn’t nearly as cold. also finally bought a scale, wooh! this tea is fine, used all 8 grams in this 12 oz cup (suggested serving is 16 oz) but not as boldly flavored as I thought it’d be…

fortune cookie chai

only have the sample here at the office (have a pouch at home) so trying with no cream at first.

forever nuts

got moved into a new office on friday and finally having my first mug of tea in the new place! went with forever nuts since I found an unopened pouch when moving the shit from my last office into this one lol

crème caramel rooibos

after the horror that was the salted caramel flavored beam I was hesitant to try this. smells fine though, and the taste is pretty mild. should’ve added sugar though, hah

sweet tart

still rather tart even with the added sugar

jingle bell chai

tea is pretty nice but prolly shouldn’t have added sugar I bought another finum brewing basket, the floating one to fit in my new 8 oz mugs. it does fit but there’s not a lot of room around it to pour water… and then it ends up getting completely submerged when I place my tea…

sleigh ride

this smells SO good! it starts off kinda mellow but then ends with a small kick in the face, hah!

zesty wishes

it smells kinda like chai so considering adding cream and sugar edit: added rock sugar

david’s breakfast blend

meh, even with the added stuff it’s still kinda bitter. would try steeping at a lower temp if I had it again.

9 berries

just a berry kind of day, I guess

let it snow

sample size smells divine. would def purchase separately, yum~

fireside mocha

I don’t like coffee and I don’t like chocolate in my tea . it doesn’t even smell good =/ edit: surprisingly, it tastes pretty good. way better than it smells.

roasted chestnut

y”all! this smells SO good! but the taste? doesn’t match up with the smell 😦 it’s not bad, but the smell is just so yum that the taste is disappointing

japanese sencha

should’ve lowered the temp so kinda bitter. and no jasmine or anything to take the edge off. qq

north star

kinda citrusy kinda minty kinda ok edit: actually now that I’ve finished it (read: dumped it down the drain), it tasted kinda like watered down orange juice that tastes like it smells when it smells like it’s gone bad

merry mistletoe

I didn’t add any sugar and I can’t decide if I want to. it’s kinda tart but in a nice sort of way. it kinda reminds me of teavana’s dragonfruit devotion. yum~

witchy watermelon

I wanted a do-over after how good the sample was! I may have overdone it with how much tea I used (can see how the cup isn’t full) but I didn’t want to risk it being weak/watered-down yum!

forever frosty

it smells great but kinda tart.. needs a bit of sugar added imo, and will prolly add some on my next mug
