Sips by Review (Month 2)

Sips by Review (Month 2)

Hello everyone,
I am back to review the second Sips by box I ordered. My first box was very true to my flavor preferences. However, this second box was more of a mixed bag. Let's get reviewing!

Just Matcha (Motion Matcha) (TWO STARS)
This Just Matcha tea came as matcha packets that could be mixed with hot or cold water. The matcha tea was promoted to dissolve without any whisking. I have never had matcha tea before so I was excited to receive this in my box. The tea had a vegetal flavor with bitter undertones. I'm not sure matcha is my favorite tea flavor, but I appreciated it. I would certainly have it again. The only bummer about this tea was that it didn't dissolve the way it was described. Much of the powder clumped at the bottom of the mug. If you prepare this tea I recommend mixing it with a whisk, fork, or spoon. 

Green Lemon (Newby Teas) (THREE STARS)
This tea steeped nicely into the water and provided a full flavor. If you like green tea with lemon you would most likely enjoy this tea. This tea was fine, but nothing extraordinary. 

Organic Beauty Me Tea (Full Leaf Tea Co) (THREE STARS)
This tea advertised ginger and peppermint flavors. The peppermint flavor came forward and I noticed the slight zing from the ginger. This tea was also fine, but did not wow me.

Tea Ifri (Sayra) (FOUR STARS)
This tea was a blend of green tea and red berries. I  enjoyed this tea. The green tea aspect was nice, but it was berry that helped make this a flavor forward delicious tea.

Why I am taking a breaks from Sips by:
When I received my first Sips by box I believed it matched my flavor preferences exactly. However, this second box was disappointing. Most of the teas were fine, but just not that interesting. During my first month's box, I consumed all the tea samples throughout the month. This month I have barely touched the samples. Right now I am going to take a break from my  Sips by subscription. However, when I want to sample something new, i will gladly reinstate it.

Until next time!
