Day 23, so close to the end! I shall miss my tea surprises. Today is Pumping Pomegranate.

Apple, hibiscus, rosehip, elderberry, "flavouring", pomegranate seeds.

Bag smells sweetly of apple, with some berry undertones. Strongly scented, and a tempting aroma.

Tea smells of apple mostly, but with berry in there.

Flavour is delicious! Lots of apple, but hibiscus, elderberry and pomegranate are there too, working hard. It's sweet, fragrant, light, refreshing. Big fan of this one.

Proper strong too, none of your feeble tisanes here.

Day 21 already. My my time do fly. Sweetest Dreams.

There's a LOT in here, prepare yourself. Apple, chamomile, roasted chicory root, birch leaves, sweet blackberry leaves, lavender, citric acid, rosemary, "flavouring", silver lime flowers and rose petals.

Bag smells generically fruity and floral. I can't pick out anything distinct, it's a nice comfortable sort of scent though.

Tea smells warmly of blackberry leaves.

Flavour is unclear. It's nice, fruity and not floral at all - I can't detect rose or lavender, but I can't say "Oh there's the apple, there's the rosemary..." it's just a sort of mish mash of warm fruity flavour. There is the slightest, very slightest, bite from the citric acid though.

Day 15. Lemongrass and Ginger.
No "flavours" etc in this one, just lemongrass and ginger.

It's not a tea I drink regularly not being a huge ginger fan. I don't mind it, it's just not a flavour I choose often unless it's in something like a sauce or stir fry.

Bag and brewed tea both smell strongly of ginger, surprising no one.

The ginger and lemongrass balance is about perfect so the ginger isn't the boss. It's there, but it's behaving itself nicely and letting the lemongrass have a shiny moment too.

Day 11! Sticky Date Delight.
Rooibos, caramel, roasted chicory root, figs, marigold petals, dates, "flavourings" (oh they're back). Also rice flour, which is from the dried fruit.

Bag smells of sweet dates, bit of caramel scent in there. I'm drinking this one black. So bold of me.

Brewed tea smells warm and sweet, mostly caramel.

Flavour is caramel heavy. Little bit of fruity sweetness, but mostly caramel.

It's decent. I'm mildly enjoying it. Probably wouldn't buy a whole box of it. Would be nice after a meal when you want something sweet perhaps.

Day 10! Just Peppermint.
Contains: Peppermint.

Bag smells of peppermint, with the slightest hint of peppermint.

Brewed tea has a strong scent of peppermint. With a good deep sniff, I can also detect peppermint.

Flavour is very pepperminty, with perhaps a whisper of peppermint. Definitely picking up the peppermint on this one.

Peppermint.

Day 8! Night 8, as it's a bed time tea. The Dreamer.
Rosehip, lemonbalm, lemon verbena, rose petals, orange peel, sunflower petals, calendula petals, hops, valerian, cornflower petals, "flavouring"

Quite a mix of things in this one. Dry bag smells of hops, valerian and a bit of citrus.

Brewed tea smells of hops and valerian. It's not tempting, I have to say.

Okay fine I'll drink it. You're very mean to me, btw.

I'm getting the orange, but not much else. I've left the bag in for ages so it should be up to strength (I leave herbal bags in). Is warm a flavour? It tastes warm, and a bit orangey. There's other flavour in there, but the only one I can actually point at and say "Ahah! There you are!" is orange.

It tastes better than it smells, that's for sure.

Day 4! Sleep Tight a "perfect night time brew".

Lemon balm, lavender and rose petals.

The dry bag smells like dried hay. Or dry grass, if you didn't have a horsey upbringing.

The brewed tea smells of ..something. Smells sort of generally herby. No lavender or rose.

Flavour is also "generally herby". I'm not getting lavender or rose. Perhaps the slightest whiff of citrus. Some minty hints. It tastes weirdly strong yet not really OF much. It's quite nice though.

Minty Hints would be a great band name.
