I overleafed this tea, but the flavor still came out super mild. Other reviews complain about it being too sweet, but I must be some monster because even after adding sugar, I still don’t find it sweet enough. It’s lightly orangey, but the black tea tastes a little low quality. The whole blend just seems pretty artificial and meh. I’ve shared it with a few family members, and they all thought it was pretty strange as well.

Years ago I Had Orange black spice tea bags. They were cheap, and I cannot remember the blend or where I got them. Not high quality. They were fabulous and I have been wanting something I’ve enjoyed since with a spice and orange. You’d think since this was a common profile blend, it’d be easier! Sorry this one did not work for you, I have the same issue often with orange spice teas – same for cinnamon. Most are weak tasting to me, or artificial.

Yeah I don’t know if I’ve found a tea I really love in that flavor profile!

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
