Green Mango Peach
This is just fine. The mango and peach are both candy-like without being overwhelming or cloying. However, I would have no idea that there’s ginger in here except that I looked at the ingredients, and it’s hard to make out the base tea under the candy fruit flavors.

MINT VERBENA
This is a mint tea that gets the job done, but nothing exceptional. Most of the time it skews heavy on the peppermint for me; I usually don't detect much of a lemon or citrus note at all.

Easy Like Sunday Morning
I wasn’t sure if the floral/chocolate combo here would work, but it actually works really well! The lavender is strong and very floral without getting soapy. The chocolate is robust without being oily. And they mesh together nicely.
-
Vanilla Sugar Cookie
This tastes exactly like the name suggests - plus it makes a great latte! Plum Deluxe excels at cookie blends and this is no exception.
-
Cinnamon Apple Spice
This is all sweet apple and cinnamon with a hint of creaminess on the back end. I don’t get any chocolate notes but I’m ok with that because the rest is really enjoyable.
-
Rose Chai
I always have to isolate this from my other teas, but it’s one of my favorite bagged teas. The rose is strong and delightfully floral, and works well with the cinnamon. Some oat milk and vanilla agave really plus it up too.

Cinnamon Magic
The way to go with this tea is to double up on the teabags. Cinnamony, juicy, and just a little bit hibiscus tart.
-
Gingerbread Spice
This is better than I expected. Even the color is spot-on for gingerbread. The sip starts off bready, with cinnamon and ginger coming in mid-sip. The ginger really lingers on the tongue in just the right quantity, definitely there but not overwhelming. I can see this being a good winter bedtime tea.

Lemon Sorbetti Tea
This blend is... just fine. I feel like I could get the same flavor by squeezing half a lemon into a cup of generic bagged green tea. It's not bitter, or astringent, or fake-tasting. Just doesn't live up to the name or the price tag. Someone who likes Arnold Palmers might enjoy this.
-
Juniper Mint Honey
This one is a challenge for me. With no additions, it just tastes like someone made a tea inspired by household cleaner. But with some actual honey added, the pine-y juniper flavor mellows into something actually pleasant, the mint becomes soothing, and overall it becomes at least drinkable and inoffensive. This one is for folks who really like juniper and/or pine.

Refresh Mint
I can't make out the tarragon in here, but this is a nice solid mint blend that I'd happily have again.
-
Prickly Pear Cactus
This is a nice, not overly sweet dessert tea. Not sure I really get cactus from it, but I've only had that a few times. Mostly it tastes like sweet pear and a touch of hibiscus.
-
Zen
This tea is ok, but in no way notable. It's green and it's minty and that's about it. Pretty mediocre for me.

CHAMOMILE MANGO HERBAL TEA BAGS
I love the idea of this flavor profile, and this blend is enjoyable, but the hibiscus and lemon are strong enough to make it not very mango-y. If the blend had a different name, or those notes weren't quite so strong, there might be better alignment. As it is, with all the tart, sweet, fruity flavors going on, this might make an interesting cold brew.

GREEN TEA BAGS
While this doesn't have a complex flavor profile or a lot of depth, it's a nice basic vegetal green tea. I tend to oversteep it a little bit just so the bitterness adds a little oomph.
