went to Janet's Tea with my mom last week and found this i think new tea called Lavender Lemonade

Type: herbal

Ingredients:apple, lavender, lemon pieces, lemongrass, lemon verbena leaves

mm this one is very good. i get lots of the lavender and just the right amount of the lemon. both flavours i am a big fan of. i think it would also make a good iced tea.

Sunny C from David's tea

Type: herbal

Ingredients: apple, carrot, candied pineapple, orange peel/pieces, hibiscus blossoms, lemon peel and rose pepper

this tastes like warm orange juice which i expected. i wouldn't expect that to be good but it is.

Cough&cold tea from teas by kara

Type: herbal

Ingredients: oregano, thyme, tulsi, mint, bay leaf

this one tasted oddly eucalyptus-like even tho no eucalyptus. liked it thought because it was actually good for the sore throat i had at the time i tried it. also i like that it's decaf and doesn't have any licorice or ginger because a lot of like health teas have that stuff and i understand why but i'm not a fan.

I bought this Sencha Love Story from special tea here in victoria like more than a month ago and i literally just remembered to try it now haha

Type: green(i think because all other sencha teas i've seen have been green)

Ingredients: sencha, mango, papaya, carrot, calendula

it wasn't that great. i liked the mango and papaya but i didn't really taste much of the other flavours. it did taste like green tea tho. probably not one i'd buy again

[tarasteas]

Boost Tea i can't remember if i ordered this or if it was part of the subscription box but this sounds more calming than the so-called calming tea haha

Type: herbal

Ingredients: apple, hibiscus petals, lemon verbena, raspberry pieces, lemongrass, lemon peel, chamomile, cornflower petals

mm this one is good and it definitely is more calming haha. i like the raspberry and lemon verbena a lot and i really taste the lemon. would definitely recommend this tea

[tarasteas]

another i actually ordered just called Calming Tea

Type: green

Ingredients: lemongrass, tangerine, rosemary, sage leaves

liked this too. the tangerine is a good touch and rosemary. good smooth flavour although not really 'calming' because green tea still has caffeine which is not.

one from the tea subscription(i think haha)Wildly Soursop

Type: black

Ingredients: black tea, blackberry, lime leaves, pear pieces, soursop leaves/extract

this was really tasty. I don't know what soursop is, but this tasted like blackberry and pear, both of which i love. nicely tart and not too sweet. another of my faves from this company so far.

new tea i actually ordered from amazing tea company(not from tea subscription): Radiant Rose

Type: herbal

Ingredients: hibiscus petals, rose petals, amaranth petals

tastes fruity. i like the amaranth because i'm kinda curious what it is and it tastes good. i'm also happy that this is herbal cuz this other rose tea i like isn't

i went a little bit tea nuts in june and this is the result

[tarasteas]

it's actually been a while since i tried a murchie's one. they had this summer one called Peach Passion and i'm a huge fan of passionfruit so i impulse bought it after the wbra book fair last week

Type: herbal

Ingredients: peach, passionfruit granulate, apple, pineapple, mango, papaya, tartaric acid

it was pretty good although not as peachy or passionfruit-y as i expected. it tasted mostly like pineapple which i found kind of weird. not bad but not great either. definitely prefer david's tea's peach passionfruit cold brew

[tarasteas]

another david's one, this is called Simply Maple Breakfast

it's one of those nailogical teas that they have and i thought it sounded interesting so

Type: black

Ingredients: apple, raisin, brown sugar, gluten-free oat, roasted chicory root, maple sugar, marigold petal, and natural flavouring with stevia extract

this actually tasted kind of dessert like. sort of reminded me of rogers' chocolates maple truffle, but less sweet. i like it a lot more than i thought i would.

[tarasteas]

whoops it's been a while since i had time to do another of these but now that i do

this david's tea i've been wanting to try since the beginning of the year called Countess of Seville(i like that name haha)

Type:green

Ingredients: orange peel, natural bergamot flavouring

I think this is one of the few teas from david's that doesn't have like so many ingredients. I like how simple it is and I really taste the bergamot which is a great flavour. Also, it's not sweet, it's kind of earl greyish but not as strong. Definitely a good one.

[tarasteas]

the blueberry tea in my subscription

Type: herbal

Ingredients:elderberry, raising, blueberry pieces, apple pieces, hibiscus, cornflower petals

this is the best tea from this shop i've tried so far. it's quite tart but in a good way. there's a decent amount of sweetness and very blueberry.

[tarasteas]

month 2 of my amazing tea company subscription box. this one had a french vanilla black tea and a blueberry herbal. tried the french vanilla today and

Type: black

Ingredients: apple, papaya, coffee bean, stevia, pineapple

this one was okay. i didn't love it because i'm not a big coffee fan but i didn't hate it either. it wasn't too coffee-ish and i like the papaya.

[tarasteas]

The last of my pluck tea and the only one I didn't really like

Orange Blossom

Type: herbal

Ingredients:apple pieces, hibiscus petals, orange pieces, rosehip pieces, red plum petals, jasmine buds, safflower, marigold&sunflower petals(wow lots of petals)

oddly coconut tasting even though coconut isn't an ingredient. also not quite sweet enough for my taste. i didn't taste the plum or orange which was what i really wanted. don't really recommend this one unless you like coconut

[tarasteas]

Second tea from pluck tea called Georgian Bay Berry

Type:herbal

Ingredients: rooibos, raspberry pieces, hibiscus, blackberry leaves, apple pieces, moringa leaves, elderberries, currants, blueberries, cornflower petals

wow there is a lot of fruit in this tea and a lot of fruit that i like. i mostly just tasted the blueberry and raspberry, but that's okay because it still tasted very good. also it's caffeine free and it wasn't too expensive so it was worth it.

i love when i see kisses to go at a market they have their tea scent samples in such pretty cups
