Subscription box tea! I’m not sure about this one, it certainly tastes like vanilla cake, but it’s a fake flavor that my tastebuds think is just ok. It might be suffering from a comparison to my favorite vanilla tea from San Fran herb. I will say that adding a scoop of collagen made this creamy, but I don’t normally drink my tea with add ins, so I don’t think this is a keeper in my cupboard.

Flavors: Creamy, Sweet, Vanilla

I was just reading up on this one yesterday and wondered if it was too globby.

I remember really enjoying this one, but the cup I made was more rooibos-y than I remembered…

Gmathis, it is a bit clumpy, but not too bad. I can send you a cup if you’re interested.

Sweet chocolate with a hint of rose. Not a bad chocolate tea, not my favorite flavor profile, but I. Glad I got to try.

Today’s matcha madness is between two teas I don’t like very much, waffle sauce (too weak) and this beet chai that overwhelms the beet sweetness with cardamom and clove. It does turn pink, but other than that it doesn’t have much going for it. Licorice or ginger could have rounded out the flavor profile, but I might just flip a coin for my vote today.

Flavors: Beetroot, Cardamom, Clove

Part of Happy Luckys matcha madness bracket this year, it’s a strong contender. Chocolate and earthy with a touch of vanilla. The chicory comes through at the end so you know it’s not actually a dark chocolate bar you are tasting. I might be tempted to buy more of this!

Flavors: Chicory, Chocolate, Earthy, Vanilla

Michelle

Ha! I thought this Chocolate Aire would go a ways through the bracket, but it was beat by Kheer Chai in the first round. Clove beats chicory?

Lavender creme, mmmm. I can’t believe I haven’t written a note for this tea, somehow it got sipped down from my cupboard, but now its back. I don’t like many lavender teas, but this one is yummy, and smells great too.

Flavors: Creamy, Lavender, Rooibos, Vanilla

Such a bright and happy tea! Gonna up my rating of this one as its entirely too drinkable, as in it disappears quickly from my cup.

Flavors: Citrus, Lemon, Metallic, Sharp, Woody

Sipdown! I overleafed the last cup I had of this as I was wondering if it would bring out the pumpkin flavor. Seems that it did the trick, but it is a bit heavy on the clove too. Not my favorite from OBTC but I’m glad I got to try. I do like the honeybush base, but not enough for a future purchase.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Clove, Pumpkin, Sweet, Vanilla

I debated about adding this to my recent OBT order, but I still have half a tin of each (which makes a full tin combined), it was difficult to leave this out but OBThas so many good blends! Not too coconuty and not too vanilla, just the right amount of each. Hopefully a cupboard staple for me.

Flavors: Coconut, Marshmallow, Vanilla

From Martin, thanks! This is clove and more clove, but it is cold in Chicago so I’m not minding the clove as it warms me up. It is a very one note tea, I can’t tell if there is green tea here or the goji berries. It was very smooth, and not astringent. Glad I got to try!

Flavors: Clove

Martin Bednář

You’re welcome! Yes, it’s definitely clove tea :)

Advent Tea! Not sure what makes this Jolly or Fig, but the green is smooth. Mostly cinnamon, but some sweet fruity notes here too. Glad I got to try, but I like my cinnamon with other flavors.

Bio

I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
