Hello! This is the first tea box from this year! Lets start this year off with some great teas! Fingers crossed!
Month: January (2020)
Hibiscus Mojito by Asheville Tea Co
This tea is made from Hibiscus, Mojito Mint, Peppermint, and Lime Basil.
I actually really disliked this. The hibiscus was too powerful for me. I’ve learned through these tea boxes that most of the time, if the tea is red/pink, I won’t like it much. This doesn’t break that pattern yet.
This tea is caffeine-free.
Rating: 1/5
Coconut Escape Blooming Tea by Flower Pot Tea
This tea is made from Oroxylum Flowers, Jasmine Flowers, Marigold Flowers, White Tea, and Natural Flavors.
This smells heavy of coconut. Here we go! I did time lapse it but the site doesn’t support videos. Not that it matters, it didn’t work perfectly this time either and my hands were shaking.
This smell was very coconut but the taste was pretty mild. I wasn’t opposed to it, but I don’t think I’d pick it again if I had a choice.
This tea has low levels of caffeine.
Rating: 4/5
Pink Citrus Magik by Tea Kitten
This tea is made from Green Tea, Apple, Purple Dragon Fruit, Lemongrass, Blue Butterfly Pea Blossoms, Pomelo, Lemon Peel, Watermelon, and Flavoring.
The smell of this tea is so wonderful. You can smell the fruit, and the way it mixes is so lovely. The initial taste is just like that fruity smell, however the after taste leaves a bitter taste. Its a taste that I disliked enough that I had to sit here trying to figure out what I wanted to do about the rating. The initial taste and smell are both a five for me, but the after taste is ick.
This tea has low levels of caffeine.
Rating: 3/5
Reishi Mushroom With Rooibos & Orange Peel by Traditional Medicinals
This tea is made from Organic Reishi Fruiting Body Dry Acqueous Extract 10:1, Organic Rooibos, Organic Orange Peel, and Organic Orange Peel Oil on Gum Arabic.
This tea smells like rooibos, haha. I don’t smell much of the orange but I hope that I taste it. Its a rich orange color which gives me hopes.
This is actually a very muted taste. I can identify most of the flavors but its a very mixed and muted flavor. I actually like it as a sort of tea that I’d drink as a mindless drink. It’s not something I’d have when I want something to sooth the throat, but its nicer than some green teas. It has no after taste.
This tea is caffeine-free.
Rating: 4/5
I always forget how long this takes me because I can’t drink hot things. This box is rather rated low. It’s okay the rest of the year will be good! We can’t always have amazing tea boxes, and I’m already lucky enough to try them.
I got my Unicorn Crate last week Wednesday night and FairyLoot should be in today, so look out for them tomorrow.
Until Next Time,
MM
