South American style tea that is high caffeine I believe. I have tried a different flavour once before and wasn't impressed with it but this one was good.

I thought it was caffeine free, but it is a stimulant. I haven't tried it yet.

I tried it when it got out along with the lemony maté tea (can't remember the name now). The smell is misleading as I find the tea to be quite bland.

This hasn't been a good year for me with the calendar!

I'm a "meh" - I'll have another cup, but, I didn't love it, nor did I hate it.

I like it too! :lol: usually I hate orange flavoured things but I like it! I'll see how the next cups go.

It was a bit weird to see sticks in the infuser tho. :lol:

We are so far behind. I don't think I've actually had any of the tea since Stormy Night (which I was able to purchase a tin of at my DAVIDs, btw).

Maybe now that silly season is almost over (just have the school concert left) I can start having a pot of tea every evening again.

Cream of Earl Grey.

I dislike Earl Grey so I don't anticipate liking this. However I could be wrong. :lol:

I do like this one. I don't think it tastes like earl grey at all, there is no bergamot smell. It is very vanilla-y.

Cream of Earl Grey is my old faithful. I love Earl Grey - it's my "standard" tea (versus orange pekoe). I must like bergamot because apparently it's quite strong in the decaf earl grey, and I like that one even more (but I noticed on steepster that many earl grey lovers don't).

And that's another one that I like! At least that cup was good. I will try another one! I wouldn't buy a 100 g but I'd probably buy a small amount.

I bought online blueberry jam, la la lemon, orange pekoe and English breakfast.

I'll probably buy in store small amounts of the other ones I liked :D

I didn't love it. It was ok at the start of the mug, then by the end, I'd had enough. I'll share that one with my colleague.
