Opinion:
Love the tins!
Loved the Green Tea with Thai Flavors, which a betting person would not have thought so. It was a tea-colada! But why not shorten the name to Thai Green Tea? You can really taste the coconut, too.
Not so much love - the Chocolate Mint. Despite bonus points for being a black tea instead of so-overdone Rooibos, alas, it smelled better (really great in fact) than it tasted, even with the extra ooomp of the new Low Fat Natural Bliss in Chocolate.
(Now I'm not a real coffee drinker, I will admit to only drinking it if sounds weird and has a bunch of stuff thrown in. But this was a fun and tasty combo I put together. The Donut House Chocolate Glazed Donut and the Chocolate Natural Bliss. It really did taste like a Krispy Kreme Chocolate Glaze, minus all the carbs. I bet though you could have fun using Promised Land Midnight Chocolate 2% Milk (swigging and adding to tea and coffee). Jus' sayin'. )
Rating: Chocolate Mint - 2.75 if you doctor it up, Green Tea with Thai Flavors - 4.5
