Day 18 Earl Grey Lemon Ginger Black
...I have to be honest, I messed this one up. I got caught up in a flurry of cooking and severely over steeped it. It was way too tangy and sharp due to that. I look forward to trying it again another time with the extra pouch.

Day 16 Chocolate Carmel Black
Another case where I had high hopes for the sweetness to come through, but it mostly just mellowed the black tea base out. Meh.

Day 17 Cranberry Vanilla Cheer Herbal
Needs more cranberry and less vanilla, but great overall (especially with the 7.4 patch)

Day 14 Mulled Apple Green
Oh yeah, this one is another huge hit. The apple comes through incredibly well, as do the killing spices - without being overpowering.

Day 15 Earl Grey Honey Black
Mostly just an early grey. The honey only really comes through in scent. I guess it mellows the black tea

I posted that only halfway through the movie. It is the new worst Shyamalan movie. It is deeply exploitative and cruel. I do not have enough characters to get into a fraction of the insanely terrible things this movie does. Ask your husband he also saw that trainwreck

Day 13 Chocolate Covered Strawberry Rooibos
Now here's another hit! 🍓 Very much enjoyed this one. I love the earthiness of rooibos in general, and strawberry is another fruit flavor that can come through well in tea (imo). I'm biased on this one because it's almost 1:1 with a blend of my own

Day 12 Candied Almond Black
This one had a delightfully sweet aroma, but sadly the tea itself failed to live up to its scent. It wasn't bad, just very mild in comparison.

Ough I'm falling behind...

Day 11 Jolly Jasmine Orange Green
Jasmine and green I like alone, but why did they have to put orange in there... Ends up as just a mid, kinda unpleasant tea for me. Enough orange thank you.

Day 10 Eggnog Black
On the day I just so happened to buy eggnog on a whim. Sorta. I didn't have a lot of faith in this one, but I was pleasantly surprised - in both scent and taste it had enough sweetness to balance the bitterness of the black tea base. I think this is my new fave black tea.

Day 8 Vanilla Chai Black
Absolutely lovely aroma, but the actual taste was - lacking especially for a chai.

Day 9 Elf's Maple Herbal
Now here's a heavy hitter. The smell is so maple syrupy, but not overwhelming. Taste was full but even, sweet but not so sweet as to ruin the balance. Great tea.

Day 7 Holiday Pear Green
A lot of fruit flavored greens miss the mark and end up tasting strange, but pear is a soft enough flavor to mix well with the base green they're using. Really good blend, but not necessarily one I'd be clamoring for more of.

Day 6 Espresso Black
Coffee is another flavor I'm not a huge fan of, but it balanced very well with the black tea here. I think the muffin and blueberries I was eating provided the sweetness needed for me to enjoy it, but I think a more complex black blend would serve the espresso flavor best.

I wish I could give you my extra teabag for it

Day 5 Orange Cream Rooibos Red
Ahhh the other flavor I dislike... Orange. Very orangey orange the minute I tore open the packet. The flavor was rich. Orange has its place, but that place is not in my mouth. This one was not for me.

Day 4 North Pole Peppermint Oolong
Mint is one of the two flavors I dislike, but I find it's often well used in tea. This was the case here. The steeped tea had a pungent, almost medicinal smell, but its flavor was soft and delicious. An excellent use of such a seasonally appropriate flavor.

Day 3 Cozy Coco Black
The coco definitely comes through here. Absolutely delightful in that regard. I wish it was more coco than black tea, but that's just me and my little love for black teas. I gave away my second packet of this, but I would have gladly had more.
