Madame Flavour - Sultry Chai



I really like this brand (especially the mint lavender flavour). 
Chai is not my usual pick because I don't put milk in my tea and I feel the flavours would benefit from it.

This one is a black tea (Ceylon and Assam) with cinnamon, cardamon, fennel, ginger, clove, safflower, and Australian Mountain Pepper leaf.

I opened the packet and ... the tea bag was broken. 
It was a manufacturing error but I was able to work with it.



It smells lovely and spicy (as in pertaining to spice, not hot).

The taste? Very smooth and well blended.
It isn't jarring like some chai teas I have tried before.

If you are looking for a good chai, try this one!

Thanks Miss Buttons! :)

Wellstate - CBD Öltropfen (Oil drops) 5%



This is a 5% cannabidiol supplement that comes as a liquid you take as drops.

The CBD is suspended in olive oil, you should shake it before each use though as it can settle.

The liquid itself is a green-brown colour and smells like hay and hemp.
It tastes like hay and hemp as well.

To take, you take 2-5 drops take it sublingually (under your tongue) twice a day.
I take it before bed (so just once a day).

I don't feel any noticeable effects after taking it except a little bit more sleepy.

Price: 0/5 ($47.09 for 10mL)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Tea Blossoms - Green Strawberry


This is a green tea with rose, sunflower, orange blossom, raspberry flavour, and strawberry flavour.


It is definitely a scent, not a taste with the strawberry part. 
The tea itself is kind of bitter for a green tea.

Thanks for sending this to me Miss Buttons! :)

Price: 3/5 ($13.50 for 45 tea bags)

Primal State - Primal Sun - Vitamin D



These are drops that you can take for vitamin D.

The vitamin D3 is dissolved into medium chained triglycerides from coconut oil.

It has a minimal oil taste and is easy to split up a dose over the day to make it easier on your body.

Because it is a liquid it is less portable and the dropper on my bottle has detached from the cap, but the liquid itself is good.

However because of the packaging issues and price, I can't recommend this.

Price: 1.5/5 ($40.74 for 50mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Tea Blossoms - Black Lemon and Berry



This tea is courtesy of  Miss Buttons!

This is a black tea with rose petals and lemon flavouring... the website goes on to also inform you it has marigold blossoms and berry flavoring as well.

The scent of the dry teabag takes me back to a summer in childhood, but I can't place it. I only know it is familiar.



As with many flavoured teas, this is more of a smell than a taste.
Close your nose while drinking it and it tastes like black tea with the bitter hint of lemon zest.

Price: 3/5 ($16.50 for 45 tea bags)
