The scent of fresh mango was super strong. The first time, it turned out a little astringent seeming even though I steeped this shorter than the recommended time. The resteep was somehow tastier than the first steep. It was mostly super mapley pancakes, which was nice! On subsequent steeps, I kept the time under three minutes and let it cool completely before drinking. Then it became really wonderful, blending the mango, coconut, and maple perfectly.

TTB! This isn’t my favorite sort of tea, but with a lot of extra sugar, it’s not bad! The fruit is tart, and I can taste a bit of the spice. I’m drinking this cold, and it’s pretty enjoyable. The flavor is definitely mostly hibiscus, but that’s surprisingly what I’m in the mood for right now.

This is pretty fresh and pleasant. I’m drinking it cold, and I taste the lemon without the tartness. I also taste some of the rooibos base. I don’t notice anything too fake or cleaner-ish, which is always a relief with lemon teas. I don’t think this one is special enough to seek out, but it’s a decent blend!

TTB! This is super floral, but in a way that’s pleasant with the black tea. It was tasty cold with milk and sugar, though I wouldn’t seek it out over other EG blends

TTB! I’m super familiar with the flavor of the prickly pear tea since I have a big tin of it. I definitely taste more of that than the mango tea. However, I like this a lot more than my plain prickly pear, so I can tell the mango is doing some work balancing out the sometimes fake candylike prickly pear tea. I wish I could taste more distinct mango, but the flavor is quite refreshing cold.

TTB! Ha, it may be partially due to the soy milk I added, but this really reminds me of soy sauce. I don’t taste much chocolate, just some desserty soy sauce. I shared the cup with my partner, who said it tastes like good quality hot chocolate.

TTB tea! I taste banana along with some mild dessertiness. I like the rooibos base here. It’s nice cold with milk and sugar. Then the flavors come out the strongest. The second and third times I had this, it tasted weirdly alcoholic/chemically, which wasn’t at all pleasant. It’s hard to decide how to rate it since that first cup was so tasty.

TTB! There’s a pretty natural tasting lemon and ginger. Milk and sugar bring out the flavors the best. In each sip, I get the tart zing along with the spices to keep it interesting. This is a flavor profile I’ve had many times before, but this isn’t a bad version of it.

Soy milk complements the banana flavor well. This is so similar to other 52teas banana blends that I assumed I’d had it before until I checked Steepster for a note to be sure. It’s best cold, and I may have enjoyed the resteep even more than the first. It tastes nice, but the banana could be even stronger, and nothing about it says pie distinctly to me.

TTB tea! I like this! It’s appley and fresh! It’s a little tart, but really nice cold. I’m not sure why the other reviews are so brutal.
