Fujian Baroque
It is a black tea. I can't say its spectacular, but I do enjoy it. I use it as a base to carry other flavors and I'll drink it alone when I feel like I've had too many flavored things for one day. Good with heavy-tasting snacks as a balancer.

Chamomile
It is, indeed, chamomile. A good amount of full flowers that puff and swell as you brew them. Can't oversteep. Solid chamomile.

Thai Tea
I love Thai tea. I worked in a Thai restaurant and in a Thai owned boba shop. This just doesn't cut it. It smells so sweet, but I literally can not brew it strong enough to even comfortably add cream without ruining any flavor. It never forms that deep sticky-sweet flavor I'm so used to. Without the expectations, I think it would be an alright tea.

Earl Grey Moonlight
A lot of people think other earl greys are too strong. If that's the case, this WILL be a favorite earl grey. It's all the things you'd expect with the added creamy smoothness.

Golden Flower
Absolute favorite afternoon summer tea! Reminds me of eating honeysuckle as a kid. The oolong is mild and the floral flavor stands out wonderfully!

Tiger Eye
A perfect tea. Sweet and full bodied, I could drink this every day forever. Good by itself or with added spices.

You MUST rinse this with hot water before brewing! After a steady rinse, and when brewed lightly, I find it tolerable. They say this tea is grounding and I think they meant to say it tastes like the ground. It reminds me of something goblins or fey folk might brew... and by that I mean it tastes like mushrooms and moss. If you DON'T rinse it, it tastes like a fresh sip of pier water with all the fish froth included.

Masala Chai
Reminds me of the holidays and boy do I love the holidays. Spicy and bold bodied black tea with all the right warm notes!

Ceylon Sonata Iced Tea
It's a standard, black iced tea. It's a little fruity somehow and a little astringent, but smoother when done cold brew style like this. It's like the spring version of the summer classic iced tea.

Bonfire
I wish this was offered all year round! It's reminiscent of everything fall means. Anyone from outside a city limit can resonate with the warm smoky flavor of this tea.

Foxtrot
Absolutely a favorite for my 'relaxing' teas. It's not strong enough to be a bedtime tea, but it also has a lot of other flavors going on rather than just the lightly sweet grassiness of chamomile or the bitter astringency of valerian. Something to enjoy while wearing a facemask and reading before bed.

I really adore this tea IN OTHER TEAS. By itself its very very smokey and reminds me of the burn season in the piney south just before the damp winter sets in. Probably an acquired taste, but I think it's amazing sprinkled in a spice tea during the chilly seasons.
