Made to their exact specifications on temperature and steep time, this tea will not punch you in the face with cookies and cream flavour. I found it to be a lighter taste than that of a typical loose leaf orange pekoe, with just a hint of cookie. The second cup I made with a longer steep time, and added a splash of milk. This really brought out the flavour in my opinion. The amount included is good for the price when compared to other premium tea leaves. I found the caffeine hit harder than a typical orange pekoe, I underestimated it and was kept awake very late. I probably wouldn't get more cookies and cream, but I definitely recognize the quality of the leaves and will excitedly try their other flavours.

The smell really is undeniably cookies and cream. It's honestly impressive how well it manages to capture that aroma. The taste is also good, but it's no where near as unmistakable as the scent, which makes it somewhat underwhelming and (at first) potentially a little off-putting. The first impression is that it seems disproportionate, or even that something's off. It's unfortunate that it can give that reaction since the tea actually tastes fine. My preference for tea is to have it plain, without milk or sugar, though I do sometimes have a dash of milk to change things up. But in the case of this tea I think a bit of milk improves it. It's not too expensive ($6.27 for 50g) so despite its slight self-betrayal I think it's still worth trying.

It smells really good, exactly like cookies and cream. Had a decent colour on the tea and the tea itself also smelled like cookies and cream. But the flavour is very mild. The cookies and cream flavour was really weak and hard to taste and I used a fair bit of leaves, more than their recommended 1 tsp per 8oz . You had to focus on the taste to taste it otherwise the flavour has a weird almost soapy flavour to it. I needed to add even more tea leaves for the cookies and cream taste to really come out and taste good. The caffeine doesn't seem too high, maybe medium. I'm a fan of the idea of mixing tea with cookies and cream flavour but this doesn't seem strong enough despite the strong aroma.

I thought this was a nice tea, the same level you would get from some tea brands being sold at the mall. It is more of a scent of cookies and cream than the aroma. Still, the tea flavour was decent and enjoyable. The packaging says high caffeine content, so I was a little worried. I have a caffeine sensitivity and hence always prefer tea to coffee. However, I didn't get jitters at all, just a very pleasant boost.

When I opened the bag the smell of cookies and cream is right there oh my! I made a cup of this tea as instructed….the tea taste very nice as a black tea but the smell is exactly like cookies and cream lol ! Very good tea ☕️

Absolutely delicious. Tastes like Cookies and Cream and this tea is fresh.
