Right on, the last of my Black Friday parcels arrived today. Tea and cosmetics. Score! I already tried two other QTT teas before leaving to run some errands today but I’ll have to try them again before writing about them.
So, this one. Not my thing, unfortunately. It’s the flavourings that I’m having an issue with, particularly the cheesecake. It doesn’t taste like cheesecake at all, but I recognize it from Butiki’s cheesecake blends, which I didn’t like that much either. It tastes almost… dusty? I can’t describe it. But it’s the same nondescript weird undertone I got from Butiki’s cheesecake teas, without a doubt. Then the chocolate note tastes a bit waxy; it tastes like the smell of chocolate-scented candles, if you know what I mean. I think another one I tried earlier today (Mexican Hot Chocolate) had that same vibe but I’ll have to revisit both of these tomorrow to verify that.
I don’t get any pumpkin from this either. I actually forgot this was supposed to have pumpkin in it. So brutal for a first QTT review, sorry, but I have hope for many others!

I wasn’t a huge fan of this one either, but I had plenty of other from them that I loved so there is definitely hope. Also I don’t know how hot you did this one, but the owner advised me to try a slightly less than boiling temp with the chocolate teas
:(

I don’t have a thermometer but I always let my water cool for at least a couple minutes before pouring for black teas, anyway. I’m definitely still looking forward to trying them all!
