A Gryfindoor I would not be. They are brave, and I would be the first one running at a sign of danger. Of course, I was really excited about this Tea… because Harry Potter. It’s an ok Tea. It has a nice orange flavor and is pleasant enough but it’s also highly forgettable. It has rosehip and hibiscus… which means I prefer it cold. There are other herbal teas I would prefer to drink over this and I don’t think I will remember the flavor past another week or so. It was still fun to try but… average.

drank Huckleberry Finn by Tea Hippie

I remember reading the novel in high school and hating every second of it because all I could read was the racism. I read it again a couple years ago more carefully now that I’m an adult and actually ended up loving it. I think it’s a great novel…I can’t remember why exactly. I should probably go back and read my GoodReads review. Anyway, this is basically a really boring raspberry teas with an inaccurate ingredient list. I found blue fuzzy stuff in it, and also something that looked quite orange. It doesn’t have a very memorable flavor just bleh. The black tear part of it isn’t very strong either. Idk…just not a great one. I couldn’t find it in the Etsy shop, maybe it’s been discontinued?

I get three steeps and it doesn’t hold up to milk very well. Tastes best slightly chilled.

Black tea is my favorite but I’ll never turn down a green tea. Especially with a name and description like this…. Hobbit picked straight from the shire. It’s Lord of the Rings themed. A book I have always meant to read but never mind, I watched the movies. And I’m a fan. Which is why I was so excited for this. It tastes like your typical green tea. Green and spinach tasting. Nothing really amazing and not as high quality as they make it sound. The leaves are broken etc. it’s just an average green.

Preparation
140 °F / 60 °C 3 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

drank Hufflepuff Brew by Tea Hippie

Another Harry Potter themed tea. If I were a witch, I think I might be in Hufflepuff. Or probably Ravenclaw after a second thought. Anyway, I like That this is low caffeine since it is mostly rooibos, that being said the ingredients seem listed in the wrong order. It tastes like Orange Rooibos. The orange flavor and scent is actually strong leaving me to wonder if there was any sort of flavoring. I liked it though. It uses full leaf black tea. Overall I really liked this one with a touch of honey.

You can get about three good resteeps of the tea too. So that’s good!

I got this in a Tea sample set from my sister for my birthday. I think this particular tea was named for Supernatural- a show I don’t watch. This makes the third cherry Tea I’m reviewing and unfortunately my least favorite. I tried it cold and hot and it just wasn’t very good. Not really reminiscent of cherry pie and smelled a tiny bit medicinal. Couldn’t pick out the spices. Just blah. But I have twelve more teas to try and am sure I will find a winner.

Flavors: Chocolate

Sounds like an overly complicated tea for cherry pie! Too bad it didn’t taste good. I’ve always wanted a really good sour cherry/cherry tea…

It was. I wasn’t a fan :( I have found a really good cherry banana tea from a German Brand called Tea Friends. It’s one of the best cherry teas I’ve tried so far, it made me a cherry believer.
