Left: Ahmad Tea - Revitalise Rosehip Hibiscus Cherry; Right: Ahmad Tea Earl Grey

3. Ahmad's Earl Grey Tea (50 Count)

Retails: $9.00

*Tried this for the first time and it is not bad for an Earl Grey tea but still think Twinnings has a stronger bergamot  flavor. The tin is very pretty so I will repurpose it when I finish the tea.

4. Ahmad's Rosehip, Hibiscus, and Cherry Tea - Decaffenated (20 Count)

Retails: $3.50

*My favorite out of all the teas from this haul! A delicious fruity tea that tastes like cherries. :)

Extras:

1. Mystery Sample Pack [Retails: $10]

(*Free because purchase exceeded $35)

- Havvn Night Cream: Organic and smells like herbs but is made with black seed oil, sesame seed oil, and elderberry. To me it smells strange like rosemary or marjoram and feels a little greasy. 

- Coastal Scents "Latte" Mini Quad Palette: Nice assortment of versitile browns but pigmentation is lacking in 2 of the colors. Need to use a primer for the colors to show.

2. Mighty Teas 3-Pack Sampler 

Mighty Leaf Tea Sampler - Ginger Twist, White Orchard, Orange Dulce

- Ginger Twist x 1

I didn't like this black tea. It tasted more like lemongrass than ginger and was hard to swallow. I tried adding honey and it didn't help in improving the taste. Too much of a herbal medicine taste.

- White Orchard x 1

Typical flavor of a white tea with a hint of peach. It tastes fine unsweetened and is very fragrant. Very similar to a Teavana fruit infused white tea. My favorite of the 3 in this pack.

- Orange Dulce x 1

This tea does not have any orange flavoring or a sweet taste like the name implies. The flavor is very bland for a black tea and tastes the worst of the 3 in my sample pack.

Have you tried Laqa and Co. or Ahmad Teas before?

What was your favorite from the haul post?
