• "THE COLONEL"
    • FLAVOR:
      • BLACK TEA (THAI CHAI) with Assam Melody, Ginger Root, Cinnamon Bark, Dried Coconut, Lemon Grass, Cardamom Pods, Natural Caramel Flavor, Cocoa Nibs, Natural Coconut Flavor, Natural Chocolate Flavor, Natural Vanilla Flavor.
    • BEST SO FAR WITH:
      • A spoonful of honey! (It somehow makes it taste a bit creamier as well).
    • THE GOOD:
      • It has a nice chai-like spiciness.
      • It has a subtle creaminess when sugar is added.
    • THE BAD:
      • It can taste watery yet sour without sugar.
      • Sour aftertaste.
  • "#BELIEVE IN SHERLOCK"
    • FLAVOR:
      • ASSAM MELODY with Honeybush Tea, Ceylon Sonata Tea and Natural Hazelnut Flavor.
    • BEST SO FAR WITH:
      • A small accent of Sugar and Salt per cup.
    • THE GOOD:
      • It has a nice subtle smell of honey
      • The two strongest notes are the hazelnut and honey which is very comforting.
      • The sugar accents the honey while the salt accents the hazelnuts.
    • THE BAD:
      • I didn't really like this tea in the beginning because it tasted "too perfume-y", but after tasting it a few more times, I've grown to like it (so I guess this isn't really a BAD).
    • With milk, it takes away from the actual tea taste and leaves a diluted milk taste.
  • "THOR"
    • FLAVOR:
      • TOASTED MATE with Ceylon Sonata, Black Tea, Apple Pieces, Natural Apricot Flavor, Marigold Flowers, and Apricots.
    • BEST SO FAR WITH
      • Just by itself, especially when eaten with something sweet like shortbread cookies.
      • Maybe with Honey instead of White Sugar? Also Iced instead of Hot?
    • THE GOOD
      • Unlike some of the other teas that are dessert like (with chocolate and nut flavors in it), it doesn't leave a sour aftertaste. That's also probably why it tastes best by itself.
      • It smells and tastes like the ingredients have been toasted which is really nice.
      • The apricots and the toasted mate work well together! It has fruit accents without being a fruit tea (which occasionally taste like fruit juice with no sugar in it).
    • THE BAD
      • Unless there's a pinch of sugar, the sweetness overpowers everything so it's like sugar water that had rice in it overnight (not that that's terrible).
      • Don't let it get cold 'cause it starts having a swamp water taste.
  • "AMANDINE ROSE"
    • FLAVOR:
      • BLACK TEA with Almond Pieces, Cinnamon, Natural & Artificial Flavoring (OH NO), Rose Petals, Candied Violets (Sugar, Violets, Gum Arabic, Natural & Artificial Flavor, Carmine Color, Beetroot).
    • BEST SO FAR
      • One spoonful of Honey!
      • It tastes sweeter right after eating something sweet like a biscuit.
    • THE GOOD
      • Flowers Galore! With honey, the taste of roses really perk up.
      • Really nice breakfast tea (or when it's raining outside) since it's not too light, not too strong.
      • Even when it cools down, it tastes very comforting with the Almonds.
    • THE BAD
      • A bit of a sour aftertaste.
      • I'm sort of put off by "Artificial Flavoring" but I suppose it's not too different than any other "Flavoring", natural or not?
    • It can taste a bit too cloying; The taste is like a tea soaked blanket? Not gross but occasionally too rich.
