Hey there! I've just tried your tea blends for the Fourth and Twelfth Doctors and love them to bits! I look forward to trying your other "Doctor Who"-inspired blends and sharing some with fellow fans.

I have purchased six wonderful teas from your Dr. Who collection and am totally amazed! It started out with just one, and then wham! I had to sample more! There is nary a one I did not fully fall in love with especially the Valeyard. Keep up the great blending, brewmaster!

This is so niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! It tastes like sweet-tart lemonberries and it straight-up looks like it comes from space. I want to drink this every day for the rest of my life. I m in love a bit. *heart eyes emoji*

Mint is such a comforting flavour for me, and darjeeling is one of my very favourite types of tea, and I honestly don t know why I didn t think to combine the two before, but it s a keeper. Good stuff!

As if I was going to pass up the opportunity to drink maple tea. And as one would expect from a maple tea, it s delightful! Sweet and earthy and warming, gently reminiscent of pancakes.

Pumpkin spice is a flavour I've never much got on with in hot drinks - which is odd, because I love pumpkin muffins and other baked goods. I love pumpkin, full stop! But this is one that, while probably objectively good as a pumpkin spice drink, I'll be passing on to someone more likely to enjoy it than me.

I think this is a tea I like most blended with other things, rather than as a tea in itself. The lemongrass lends a prominent sweet-sharpness alongside the creamy texture of the coconut. It's definitely spicy, but could be more so, I think.

It's nice having a tropical fruity solution when you want citrussy goodness with sweet sunshine and absolutely no coconut. The green rooibos base plays very well indeed with fruit, and this is a perfect example of that.

A very easy drinking, simple pleasure of a brew. The wholesome earthiness of a brown oolong, with hints of roasted grain and autumn leaves, with a touch of sweet vanilla. I like using this in blends where I want a little sweetness but as a change from the standard black tea.

Oh, this is pleasant for a tired day. Soft and sweet strawberry with a creamy mouthfeel, underpinned by the earthiness of pu erh, which I didn't think would go with it, but very much does. Doesn't really stand up to many multiple steepings like other pu erhs I've had, but it's certainly a tasty brew.

YES. YES YES YES. Dragon pearls are my lifeblood. Masses of soft cocoa and a good full-bodied earthy flavour and velvety smooth texture. It's the things I like in a black tea, and it's good for like 3 steeps. Heck yeah!

Chocolate and orange is such a comforting flavour combination for me, and it turns out they're also really good friends with pu erh. It's earthy and creamy with lovely top notes of sweet, bright orange. It's no wonder it's a component in two of my very favourite blends!

Oh, this is beautiful. It's got a wonderful smoothness, with a dry aroma of sweet and nutty grass, that gives way slightly to a brewed fragrance reminiscent of steamed vegetables and freshly-mown lawn. This probably doesn't sound as delicious as it is. It's got a lovely gentle sweetness and has a smooth, very soft mouthfeel. A quintessentially green tea in the best possible way, really.

I honestly didn't think I'd like this nearly as much as I do on its own - anything with coconut in it tends to be just full on COCONUT to me, so I'll be quite sparing with it in blends, but man, this is nice! Like, it's definitely coconut, but there's a weight behind it from the pu erh, and the little bit (and it is a little bit) of fruitiness in the background works. Not something I'd run to every day as a thing in itself, but actually, good.

A smooth and gentle brew. I'm definitely getting the cocoa notes in the beginning, with a subtle aroma almost reminiscent of apricot. This flows into an earthier, autumn leaf finish. I tend to take my black teas more robust and punchy than this one, but it makes for a lovely change of pace.

This is just as a raspberry tea should be. The raspberry is a welcome sweet-tart addition to the black tea base, without overwhelming the flavour completely. Redolent with flavours of sunny, fresh-picked raspberries, with a softly tannic finish. After 3-4 minutes brewing and 2 spoons of sugar, it's a perfect, simple pleasure.

A lovely light brew, with subtle notes of blueberry floating over delicate, almost honeydew notes from the white. Works well unsweetened or with a spoonful of sugar. Delightful.

Oh oolong, you magnificent goddess, you. This one's got a nice full body for an oolong, and that wonderful sort of oaty, muesli flavor, with a finish reminiscent of sweet dried fruit. It basically tastes like a light, nutritious breakfast, and to that end, is an absolutely wonderful, gentle start to the day.
