TTB 2025 – To me, this blend does not taste like a cookie, but more like the spices that would go into a Christmas cookie. It’s somewhere in the realm of gingerbread cookie spices, but not really ginger forward. I think it’s a tasty blend, and the little snowflake sprinkles are adorable.

TTB 2025. I’ve never had this type of oolong before, so I had no idea what to expect. It’s roasty, sweet, and has strong notes of mixed berries. I really enjoyed this one! Unfortunately, there was only 1 serving left, so I used it all up.

TTB 2025 – I had high hopes for this tea since I tried qimen from Jesse’s tea house a couple years ago in a Reddit TTB. That one is still the best qimen I’ve tried. Unfortunately, per their website they switched to a different Qimen. I found this one to be just ok. It tasted smoky and a bit fruity, but not nearly as good as the old version.

TTB 2025 – This blend is delicious and well balanced. I could taste each of the individual ingredients- the smokiness of the Lapsang Souchong, the cinnamon, cloves, and cardamon. None of them overpowered the others, and every single one adds something to this tea.

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.
