Day 10 Eggnog Black
On the day I just so happened to buy eggnog on a whim. Sorta. I didn't have a lot of faith in this one, but I was pleasantly surprised - in both scent and taste it had enough sweetness to balance the bitterness of the black tea base. I think this is my new fave black tea.

Day 8 Vanilla Chai Black
Absolutely lovely aroma, but the actual taste was - lacking especially for a chai.
Day 9 Elf's Maple Herbal
Now here's a heavy hitter. The smell is so maple syrupy, but not overwhelming. Taste was full but even, sweet but not so sweet as to ruin the balance. Great tea.

Day 7 Holiday Pear Green
A lot of fruit flavored greens miss the mark and end up tasting strange, but pear is a soft enough flavor to mix well with the base green they're using. Really good blend, but not necessarily one I'd be clamoring for more of.

Day 6 Espresso Black
Coffee is another flavor I'm not a huge fan of, but it balanced very well with the black tea here. I think the muffin and blueberries I was eating provided the sweetness needed for me to enjoy it, but I think a more complex black blend would serve the espresso flavor best.

Day 5 Orange Cream Rooibos Red
Ahhh the other flavor I dislike... Orange. Very orangey orange the minute I tore open the packet. The flavor was rich. Orange has its place, but that place is not in my mouth. This one was not for me.

Day 4 North Pole Peppermint Oolong
Mint is one of the two flavors I dislike, but I find it's often well used in tea. This was the case here. The steeped tea had a pungent, almost medicinal smell, but its flavor was soft and delicious. An excellent use of such a seasonally appropriate flavor.

Day 3 Cozy Coco Black
The coco definitely comes through here. Absolutely delightful in that regard. I wish it was more coco than black tea, but that's just me and my little love for black teas. I gave away my second packet of this, but I would have gladly had more.

Day 1 Anise Cookie Black
Very abuse forward, most of it on the first sip then dissipating to black on the back half. Not bad but not spectacular.
Day 2 Manuka Honey Chamomile
Smelled divine, but got overpowered by the Choco cheesecake I was eating.
