I had a mug of the blueberry jam with some almond milk this morning. I'm not sure about it. It's ok, but will have to try another mug tonight to give it another chance.

Blueberry jam is yummy but "uncatergorized" for me. I am drinking it right now, but I likely wouldn't have it for a morning tea again. It's not a dessert tea (maybe with coffee cake?). It's not a cozy cup in front of the fire tea. It is quick blueberry jam tasting! I could see this being a yummy (cold) summer tea actually now that I think about it...

I like Blueberry Jam. I actually have a tin of it at work, so was pleased with the choice this morning.

Day 4 is forever nuts. I have never bought this one, but had it last year and remember thinking it was really nice. I am quite enjoying it this morning.

I didn't enjoy it last year. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as some of my other favourite herbals from DAVIDs. I've never bought it either.

I'm skipping the ones I've tried before and know I don't like them (or that they don't thrill me) and saving them to send to my sister so she can try some DAVIDs.

Mine is brewing right now to take to my 10:00 meeting. It smells so good. But I also remember not loving it last year. I liked it, but didn't love it. We'll see if my tastes have changed.

YES. and only Tetley orange pekoe. In bags. :lol: Any other tea I've tried I haven't liked - green tea, any other type. :lol: So I was reluctant to try this tea because I was sure I wouldn't like it. :lol: I wish I had done this last year. I'm SO buying a calendar next year if I can get one. Unless I hate every other tea the rest of the month.

You have NO idea. I was just saying that to Deerdree last night! :lol:

I have the same opinion as a few others, it's good but not fantastic and worth buying for myself.

forever nuts really grew on me last year. especially after i had a guest over who raved about it. i would keep it on hand to offer guests who want a caffeine-free option, and enjoy a cup now and then myself.

blueberry jam - I liked it. I would consider buying more.

forever nuts - I didn't like it last year, this year, I'll have another cup - I didn't not like it. I won't buy it though.

I'm a little behind on the thread reading. Here's my review so far:

White Chocolate Frost: I liked it. I liked the minty taste and slight sweetness. There was a chamomile undertone I didn't love
Alpine Punch: have had this one before (I think in the last calendar) and I like it, which is weird because I don't like roibos generally.
Blueberry Jam: OK. Again, a floral undertone that I didn't love
Forever Nuts: I have had this one before, but only at the store. I like it, but still not enough to buy it.
The rumours are true......
