A decent selection of teas.
The dragonwell was a bit to... green? Not the best tea I've tasted, but all the other teas made up for it! The golden yunnan and the oolongs were definitely the highlights of the package :) I pretty much just keep about three of these sachets in each of my bags in case I find myself without a cuppa in hand :)

This tea was pretty good. It took me a while to figure out how I liked it.
With these fruity rooibos teas, I make sure to overleaf and steep it for as long as I can so I can get all the flavour. If I use 3g of it and put it in for 5min, it tends to taste like just faintly flavoured water.
This tea was good! I just went through it super quickly because I put in double, nearly triple the amount that is needed.

Dang these pearls are huge! My jasmine pearls are wee little babies compared to these!
Why do all these teas smell like dust and attics to me though. Not much of an old book smell, but definitely the smell of an antique shop hhaha.
Steeping, it takes on a grassier scent. But the taste! Oh so so good! Love this tea so much. I think just a single pearl would do me just nicely, enough for two cups of tea. Definitely one that I'll have to keep restocking when I near the end of my pouch

I LOVE chai.
It did take me a while to figure out how much tea I'll need, and how much sugar and milk I'll need to add to make the perfect cuppa for myself. Once I figured that out, oh CHAI. This one is great and chai is just great over all :)

No. Just no.
I made this yesterday and it just tasted like leaf water? Bland, cheap, leaf water. No spice in it whatsoever. It did smell nice from the package! But the end result, the result that you actually //drink// didn't turn out so good.

This may be one of my favourite black teas from Adagio!
The colour is a nice amber, and the taste is smooth, and a bit robust.
It's just... reeeeally nice and smooth :)

Chamomile is chamomile.
Not the biggest fan of chamomile alone so I blended it with peppermint and spearmint :)

I'm sorry. I really don't like this tea.
I've tried it so many ways, from hot to iced, brewed at different steeping times, blending it with other teas that I own and it just doesn't cut it.
I gave the remainder to my roommate and she absolutely loved it. I guess I don't have the taste for such a fruity and sweet tea like this one.

This tea was just okay.
I'm not really loving it on its own? But this tea blended with others is pretty good.

I really wanted a sleepy time tea because a lot of my teas are caffeinated.
This one was pretty good! I loved the blend, but I felt like the chamomile was a bit overpowering. I would have liked to taste a bit more of the two rooibos teas though. The addition of the peppermint was PERFECT. It smelled like chamomile and pepperminty goodness, brewing you tasted more chamomile, and there was a pleasant minty aftertaste :)
Like I said, I'd like to taste a bit more of the rooibos, please :)

k.ajsdf.lklajskdf HOBBIT TEAS WERE AMAZING.
There are definitely some that I loved more than others (Bilbo, Fili and Kili were my favourites) and there are some that gave me a pleasant surprise (Elrond and Bofur. Elrond smelled like medicine but oh my gosh IT'S FRUITY AND GOOD. Bofur, I've never had mate before but I actually really liked it! ps. Don't put milk in mate. Mate is herbal. Just because it smelled a wee bit like coffee doesn't mean you should put milk in it. DON'T PUT MILK IN MATE. I SUFFER SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO). There are some that I had high hopes for, but the flavour wasn't really.. there (I'm so sorry Ori and Thorin and Company. You guys sounded and smelled SO good when I opened up the tin but I was left slightly disappointed..). And then we have the teas that I don't really... like all that much (Gandalf, Smaug and Thranduil). Like it was good to try out! But definitely happy I got a sample pack because no way I would have enjoyed the big 3oz. bag.
All in all, I'm actually quite happy with this sampler pack. Some teas I loved, some I didn't enjoy. I have friends who like the ones that I didn't so I'll let them have it and I'll keep the tins to myself :)

Oh. My. Gosh. This. Tea. Was. DIVINE.
I had the white tea sampler and it was good, but this one. Oohhhh SO GOOD. I love this tea as much as Snowbud. I feel like this tea is the mother of Snowbud and Snowbud is the wee little delicate daughter. White Peony was still very light, but also very bright and joyful and very very tasty.
I just really like this tea okay.
