Azn Tigress
I've always preferred tea over coffee for years, but never really taken time to truly appreciate tea until 2013. Although I am a milk tea aficionado, more often than not I'd rather enjoy a simple cup of tea with a spoonful of sugar.

Boysenberry Tea
Got this tea after seeing it sold at Knott's Berry Farm. However, that version that comes in a wooden box, so I'm not sure if the flavor profile is the same as this M21 luxury version even though it's from the same company. The wooden box version originates from Sri Lanka and is a premium ceylon tea with natural flavors.
The tea itself is very good on its own. Adding sugar and milk really elevates the boysenberry flavor. I hope they eventually make this available in loose leaf, but the teabags are still good.

Orange Blossom
Boy, this tea is BITTER. The combination of black, green, AND oolong tea makes this tea too much to swallow when brewed at the instructed time of 3-5 minutes. I personally suggest brewing this blend at 2 minutes MAX because any longer throws you straight into the valley of astringency. The black tea drowns out the green tea so there's no hint of a floral flavor you'd expect from a tea that calls itself orange blossom. Even the orange flavor is lacking. Pretty disappointing.

Long Island Strawberry
Pretty good hot and cold brewed, the strawberry is a nice accent to the green tea. The instructions say to brew 3-5 minutes, but it already starts getting a bit bitter around 3 minutes of brewing. I'd recommend brewing for 2.5 minutes max given that it's a green tea.

Irish Breakfast
For a tea produced by a company founded by JackSepticEye, I expected the Irish Breakfast to be either on par with Adagio's Irish Breakfast or better. Sadly, it fell a bit short of the flavor profile I expected of a good Irish Breakfast. It's not a terrible tea by any means; it's a good starter tea for anyone dipping into black teas. The flavor is okay, but nothing close to the flavor of actual loose leaf Irish Breakfast. This tea is really more about the convenience rather than quality.
