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.

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!

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.

From tea-sipper, thanks! Not sure this one is for me, I don’t mind the citrus taste, but there is a strange aftertaste I don’t like. They all can’t be winners.

Advent tea! My cup it too big this morning so this brewed kinda weak, but this is a nice black tea to start the day. The citrus note at the end is very subtle, similar to a bergamot note, but not so sharp. Don’t like it enough to purchase, but it was nice to try.

Another one from tea-sipper, thanks! This one is nice and smooth, does well with a long steep. I like the second steep better than the first as it has more of the pumpkin flavor. Interesting tea, not a whole lot of clove you would expect in the pumpkin chai variety, more like pumpkin/cinnamon/nutmeg.

Subscription tea. Too much hibby in the first steep. Second steep is quite nice as the hibby is muted and the cinnamon comes through. Don’t need any more of this.

Advent tea! This is a strange combo, green and mango/papaya. Not sure where the abundance in the tea name comes from. This is just ok, glad I got to try but don’t need this in my cupboard

Tea swap from tea-sipper, thanks! Mostly puerh on the first steep as I kept it short. Second steep is the sweet spot with plenty of caramel and plenty of smooth puerh. Third steep is faint caramel as it cools. What a nice balance between earthy puerh and butterscotch/caramel flavor. I’d be tempted to purchase more if my cupboard wasn’t too big already!

Kinda strange to be drinking this tea in the middle of winter, but it was in the subscription box, so I’ll sip on it. It’s mango and coconut to me, seems like I should be looking at waves and a nice beach to drink this. It’s not artificial, but I’m not sure I’d buy a tin of it. Maybe I’ll add some black tea and see how it tastes caffeinated.
