TTB 2025 – This tea is nutty and savory. Many of the leaves were broken. It seems to be a lower grade than other Dragonwells I’ve had, but it’s also less expensive. For the price point, it’s enjoyable enough.

TTB 2025 – I am usually a fan of coconut teas, but not this one. I brewed my first cup at 195° per the instructions. I agree with Kaylee that the base is too coarse. It overpowered the coconut and was astringent. I ended up dumping half of my first cup. I decided to give it a second chance and brewed at 155° on the second steep. The base tea was less harsh but still astringent. I got more coconut flavor in the taste, at least.

TTB 2025 – I am not a fan of earl greys, but I decided to try this one anyway, since the bergamot did not smell overly strong and I’ve enjoyed most of the other Dessert by Deb teas I’ve tried. I added a splish of oat milk, and the tea did taste like an earl grey donut with glaze probably would. It was enjoyable enough that I finished the whole mug despite the bergamot.

TTB 2025. I was really impressed by this one. There was only 3.5g of this left, so I used it all up. I brewed grandpa-style at 205°, and there was zero bitterness. It was floral and sweet with a thick, almost oily mouth feel. I also got a note of citrus. I stretched the leaves as far as I could and ended up going through about a liter of water over an hour and a half, until it was too weak to keep going.

I’m really glad I had the opportunity to try a sample of this.

TTB 2025 – This one isn’t as flavorful as the other Dessert By Deb blends I’ve tried so far. I get a bit of banana with a hint of maple syrup, but I don’t get anything resembling french toast.

TTB 2025 – This tea was earthy mostly, with a very mild chocolate taste and a very faint stawberry flavor.

TTB 2025. Let me start by saying, I’ve never tasted bourbon so I can’t tell you if this tea tastes like its namesake. The flavors in this tea were subtle, but I tasted vanilla, wood, and smoke. I thought the flavors in this blend melded well, but it left my mouth feeling a bit dry.

TTB 2025. I’m a fan of blueberries, so I was excited to try this one. I tasted the tea plain at first, and all I could taste was strong blueberry flavor. I added oat milk until I got the tea to my desired blueberry level, and the flavor became more like blueberries mixed with the creamy icing you might find on top of a streusel. I didn’t really get any streusel crumble in the taste, but it still made for a fun cup of tea.

TTB 2025. Yum! This tea definitely has a cookie-butterlike taste to it. I could taste the cinnamon, brown sugar, caramel, and maple. I tasted it without milk at first, and it was good on its own, but I added a splish of oat milk per the recommendation written on the pouch, and it enhanced this tea even more.

TTB 2025 – Nice subtle white tea. It has sweet floral notes.
