Review: This smells really lemony! Just like sherbet. It tastes like it too – it’s that fake lemon flavour you always get from lemongrass…and absolutely nothing else. Beetroot? Where!? We dare anyone to tell us they can identify that when drinking this blend. It’s just cleaning product. It’s a fancy ingredients list in fancy packaging with a completely un-fancy taste for a high price tag. It’s an AVOID.

Review: This smells weird – dark like black tea, but then heavy on the raspberry tartness. It’s like a Black Forest gateau, despite there being no cherry in the ingredients list. The flavour is milder than the aroma, It’s sort of nice…but a bit medicinal, like cough syrup. Again, we got such a cherry vibe! It’s okay, but not amazing enough to induce us to order more from America (we got this in a sampler box). It’s pretty bland, and there’s an unpleasantly artificial aftertaste, despite describing the flavouring as ‘natural’. The packaging is so gorgeous that we got the impression it was trying overly hard to be quirky and not putting equal thought into the quality of the tea enclosed.

Best time of year to drink this: Whenever – it’s not awful, but we wouldn’t bother

Review: WOW, is that an exciting looking ingredients list! …too bad it tastes vile!! The smell evoked exclamations like, ‘Oh my god…what??‘ After a while, we decided it smelled a little like ash – while the flavour was artificial grossness. You can’t taste most of the ingredients. They are just drowned out by chemicals. It’s artificial yuck and a bit of ash. Maybe it’s called The Black Lodge because the lodge burned down. It is horrible…dressed up in very pretty packaging. It’s an AVOID.

Review: If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll know we’re not a fan of peach in tea. We haven’t come across a workable peach blend, and this didn’t change our minds. It smells like yucky fake peach, and it tasted bitter and stringent with artificial disgustingness. It’s very hard to describe because we took several sips and could not figure out what we were tasting. One of us declared in horror, ‘What was that meant to be!?‘ Someone tried to be too creative. They took your basic jasmine green tea recipe, and thought, ‘How can we ruin it with flavours no one ever thought should mix with this?’ It’s an automatic AVOID.
