Ingredient: organic hibiscus, cranberries, rosehip, apple, sugar, natural pumkin spice and cranberry flavoring
Steep time: 5 minutes Amount: 1.5 tsp per 14 oz Color: deep red Smell: tart sweet and bold Sweetener: none Stars: 5/5
Taste: this is one of my favorite teas. It has a strong tart and sweet taste. You can taste the cranberry with a hint of the cinnamon. A great tea warm or cold. It is slightky dry but unlike white teas it is still smooth.

Steep Time: 7 minutes Amount: 1.5 tsp per 12 oz Color: dark brown Smell: strong vanilla light peppermint Sweeteners: None Stars: 3.5/5
Taste: This tea has a strong vanilla snell that disappoints. The flavor of this tea is very mild black tea. I don't taste any vanilla and just a slight peppermint. The mild black tea isn't offensive like some black tea can be. 
Bottomline: This tea is ok it doesn't live up to it's description but still tastes good.

Eggnog (DavidsTea) Review

Ingredient; green rooibos, white chocolate chips, meringue powder, sugar, gum arabic, calcium sulfate, citric acid, cream of tartar, artificial and natural flavoring.
Steep time: 7 minutes Amount: 1.5 tsp per 12 oz water Color: milky brown water Smell: light and sweet Sweeteners: None Stars: 4/5
Taste: I have never had eggnog so I can't really say if it is true to it's name. However, it has a warm sweet and fairly simple taste. It doesn't look as appealing but it smells great. You can really taste the white chocolate, and reminds me a lot of warm vanilla milk. 
Bottomline: This tea is good and I would recommend it.
