Earl Grey Moonlight
Just lovely. There's a touch of vanilla in here that adds something special. It's definitely an Earl Grey, and that's my very favorite type of tea. I can see myself seeking out more of this blend.

Spiced Apple Chai
It's just not enough. Not enough tea? Not enough apple? It feels like there is something missing. Maybe too many cloves in the sample I was sent? I'm unsure. If I get a sample for free, I'll try it again, but I can't see myself buying a bag of this one.

Vanilla Green
This is a very light vanilla flavored green tea. I think it is appropriate for any time of day. While I tried it hot, I can imagine that it would be delicious iced as well.
-
Raspberry Green
This is a nice flavored green tea. It is a soothing blend, not jarring at all. It's a sort of elegent taste to me.
-
Cha Cha
This is a lovely blend. The chamomile is predominent and the lemongrass gives a nice citrusy kick. The peppermint is barely there, but it gives a sort of coolness to the tea.

Downton Abbey Estate Blend Tea Bags
Early Grey with a touch of vanilla!!! So very, very good. It is delicious with a touch of cream and sweetner, just black, or with just a bit of sweetner. I will miss it when it is gone.
-
Honeybush
Honeybush is such a great tea! I has a slightly sweet flavor and is a great afternoon treat. Not as in your face as rooibush, just a nice honey caramel that is enhanced by a touch of sweetner. Very soothing treat in the afternoon.
-
Kentucky Bourbon
I like this! Just a tinge of smoke from the lapsang souchong with caramel vanilla, and chocolate notes. A savory sort of tea appropriate for a fall afternoon.
-
Lady Grey
This is one of my very favorite teas. It reminds me of Earl Grey, but is lighter in flavor. Not as much of a slap in the face as a really strong Earl Grey. When I run out of this, I miss it and I go buy more!
-
Jasmine Green
There is a nice floral flavor and this is a good tea, but it's so much more fun to brew jasmine pearls! When I'm in the mood for jasmine, I don't reach for this tea, but it is perfectly acceptable. (It's just so much more of an experience to watch the pearls open up.) Just be careful not to brew it with boiling water. It sort of cooks the green tea when you do that.
-
DECAF GINGER PEACH GREEN TEA BAGS
This was a gift from a friend. I enjoy it a lot and will probably seek out more when it is gone. It has a nice peach flavor and since it is decaf, it doesn't wreck my sleep cycle when I indulge later in the day.
-
Toasted Mate
I am not a fan of mate. I greatly prefer coffee or tea. With that said, this isn't bitter. If I was dying of thirst, I wouldn't turn it down, but if I was given any other choice, I would accept it. Mate is just not my thing, and this didn't do anything to convert me.
-
Sencha Overture
Brewed carefully so you don't "cook" the leaves, this makes a very nice cup of green tea! It has a light grassy flavor and is refreshing.
-
Almond Cardamom Cake
Meh. This didn't taste like anything at all to me. Not one that I would ever reach for again. It had a flavor, but it was way too bland. I couldn't pin point what it tasted like! I just didn't like it.
-
Lemon & Ginger
This is good when you have a cold/sore throat, or just when you need something warming and soothing to clear your head. It's pretty straight forward, nothing subtle about it, so be prepared for a hit of lemon and ginger.

RED VELVET CUPPA CHOCOLATE TEA BAGS
It's drinkable, and I still turn to it once in a while, but I've tried better herbal chocolate teas. It's not so bad that I would throw it away, but I don't turn to it very often.
-
PEPPERMINT CUPPA CHOCOLATE TEA BAGS
I really liked this one, and I should buy more! Somehow I forgot about it. It has a definite mint chocolate flavor.
-
STRAWBERRY CUPPA CHOCOLATE TEA BAGS
The strawberry comes through nicely. There is a hint of chocolate, which gives this a dessert kind of feel, especially if you add a little sweetner. This is nice to have around for when you have a chocolate craving.
-
Decaf Earl Grey
I love Earl Grey tea, and this one is NOT an exception to that love. Plus it's decaf. It has a great balance with a nice citrus tang and a slight creme flavor. This is perfect hot with a little milk, hot without milk, or iced London Fog style with some almond milk and vanilla syrup. Just a great tea to have on hand, especially when you don't need that caffeine kick.
-
Vanilla Oolong
The description says sugar cookies, and this tea is great with cookies! It's also great without cookies with just a touch of sweetner. I plan on keeping some around for a long time.
-
Orange
This has a nice strong orange flavor. It reminds me very much of Earl Grey tea, but with something missing. It's definitely worth a try, and I wouldn't turn it down if offered a cup!
-
Genmai Cha
I'm just not a fan of the roasted brown rice. I like the green tea notes, but the roasted grain is off putting to me. I think that I'm just not a fan of this general type of tea.
-
English Breakfast
It's not fancy, but it will wake you up in the morning, and can be made into a nice, plain Jane iced tea. It brews up a little stronger than some, but it's really nothing special. Just tea. I always keep some on hand for when I feel like just plain tea.
-
Buttermint
This is a favorite of mine. It has a nice balance of vanilla and peppermint. They have changed the name to Peppermint and Creamy Vanilla, and it is still just as good.

SWEET DREAMS TEA BAGS
This is a nice, relaxing bedtime treat! It is improved by just a touch of sweetner. There is definitely chamomile and lavender, but those are both kind of the point of a bedtime tea.
