I wasn’t sure if I would like Irish Breakfast, because I have mixed experiences with English Breakfasr blends, and I knew this would be stronger. I think I like it stronger, though!!

This was okay. Kind of boring, too, but in an “enjoyable but not life altering way” and not a “I hoped for more from this blend” way like the chaimander.

Maybe this will grow on me as I finish the sampler pack I bought, but I don’t see myself buying any more. It is not bad so much as boring.

Hey, guess what, I bought a sampler from this company, so I have a bunch to review. This was good and reminded me of drinking the blood orange-flavored Orangina knockoff I would buy with my roommates (read: fellow Mormon missionaries) from an E. Leclerc in Ferney-Voltaire and bring across the border to where we lived in Geneva.

I haven’t had yerba maté in a while, and it definitely has a distinct flavor to get used to, but the chocolate mint flavors of the rest of the blend are super helpful in that regard.

Kiddo brought this back from a Ren Faire for me, and it is great. You can taste cherry (a lot of it), and there are clear hints of vanilla and an aftertaste of peppercorn in the chai. It’s better sipped over the course of a morning than finished in a rush, but I’m looking forward to going through this whole bag.
