TTB sample! This was just okay. It’s rooibos with some other random flavor muddled in there. It’s better with sugar and milk, but I couldn’t tell what it was trying to do.

I got a few samples from a tiny tea shop in Brighton! This is a decent rooibos chai, while still having a bit of a murky flavor from the base. The resteep was hearty enough! I wouldn’t necessarily seek it out, but I appreciated that it was slightly different from other chais due to the random ingredients that you can’t taste specifically, but make it more interesting, like pomegranate and cocoa apparently?

The first time, I didn’t taste too much bergamot or any brulee outside of maybe some bitterness. It was a little nondescript for me, unfortunately. The next time I had it, it tasted a little fruity or like a light EG, but that was it. The resteep was actually deeper and tastier for some reason. The bag is gone after two cups – I just wanted more from this one!

This tastes pretty strongly like honey. I’m not a honey fan, but I feel like this would be super tasty for someone who is. Cold, it was quite smooth and a little floral. It was interesting! The honey flavor really lingers. Definitely fun to try from the TTB!

I got this in London. I love green rooibos, and this one is super fresh and tasty. It’s so smooth and fruity. It’s delicious cold and lightly sweetened. The cold resteep is perfect as well.

Another sample from Oxford. I overleafed this, and still the flavor is incredibly weak. It’s a little appley, but there isn’t much more to note. The resteep tasted like apple juice, which was nice.

I saved enough from the TTB to try one cup, but I wouldn’t have minded more of this one! It’s rich and nutty and chocolatey. Sweetened with milk and sugar, it made a really nice desserty tea!

I got this sample in Oxford. I overleafed this by a lot, but even so, it turned out pretty light. I taste red fruits, but nothing is very special. The resteep was super standard.

TTB! This was lightly appley and floral. The black base was very light, barely even noticeable. Hot, it tastes like nothing, but it was pretty enjoyable cold.

This reminds me of other peach black teas, but this is a super high quality version. In some cups, I can maybe taste the extra something desserty that makes it not just an apricot black tea. I like it best at room temperature with milk and sugar. The resteep tastes just as good as the first.
