I’m not showing off the cup today, but if you’re curious, it is a Disney World cup.
Today’s tea is Lavender Raspberry Honeybush from Tea Runners [as always, not sponsored]. I was really curious about how it would taste as a cold brew iced tea (mostly because cold brew iced tea is my favourite way of making tea).
I used my usual cold brew tea method for this, which is 2 teaspoons of tea leaves for every 8 ounces of cold water, left in the fridge for 6 hours to steep.
The aroma of the tea is sweet raspberry with a bit of lavender. It’s a lot easier to notice the lavender taste when the tea is cold and iced, though of course the raspberry is still noticeable. The aftertaste is mostly raspberry with a bit of lavender.
I really love this as an iced tea. Very tasty and refreshing.

Celestial Seasonings has good tea but I only ever used their Chamomile for spells
Now, mind that I usually use these in bath spells and that it would be hard to physically pick out each tiny piece of a tea, and that the extra ingredients can change the workings of the spell you’re trying to substitute.
Hope that helps someone out at least a little.

Today’s cup is this cute heart cup. It is a cup with a bit more than a 16 ounces capacity, so I will be using my tea pot today.
Today’s tea is Lavender Raspberry Honeybush from my Tea Runners April Subscription Box [as always, not sponsored]. The tea leaves smell like sweet berry with a hint of tartness. Almost like a dessert, or berry flavoured cotton candy. I’m eager to give this one a try. I think it will be another favourite.
I prepared the tea as the instruction say, which is steeping 1 teaspoon of leaves for every 8 ounces of 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) water for 5 minutes.
The aroma is not as sweet once it has been steeped. The taste is a wonderful sweet berry, with a bit of tartness. The tea has a calming effect due to the lavender, but I find I don’t really taste it. The aftertaste is a bit subtle, but it is also sweet berry.
As for my final thoughts, I really like this tea. It’s definitely one I will purchase again. I think it would taste good as a cold brew iced tea as well, so I’m looking forward to trying it that way too.

My First Tea Runners Box (April 2021) - Final Review
[As always, not sponsored.]
I have tasted all of the teas I got in the April box at least once, following the steeping instructions as closely as possible. The teas I got, ordered from most favourite to least favourite, are Heart Chakra Yogi, Lavender Raspberry Honeybush, White Pearls, and Chamomile Medley.
Of course, I did get a tea I didn’t end up liking very much. But this is a reflection of my own personal tastes and not a reflection of the quality of the teas themselves. The teas are very obviously high quality loose leaf.
Not to mention, Tea Runners is a vendor and, to my knowledge, is not a tea blender or producer. To rate the seller solely based on the quality and taste of teas they don’t make or blend themselves isn’t fair.
My main rating for Tea Runners is the experience that a seller can provide. Which is the website, packaging, shipping speed, the ability to customize the box (and whether or not the customization comes through), and the accuracy of the taste descriptions on the website.
The website is pretty, easy to use, and properly functional. Signing up for any box is easy. There are many customization options for the box. The teas I did customize and swap for worked perfectly, and it only takes a few minutes to send a customization request. The box arrived within the stated shipping time. The packaging is both gorgeous and functional. I only have minor issues with the description of the tastes of the teas, as I found some small details to be incorrect, but these discrepancies are likely caused by differing taste buds and not intentional false advertising. (And of course, the best way to understand how a tea will taste is by looking at the ingredients list.)
Do I recommend subscribing, or at least giving it a try? Absolutely. It’s a great way to get hard to find high quality teas in your mailbox every month.
