Day 10's tea is Green Passionfruit, which is a green tea with mostly pineapple.
From the website:
A passion for fashion
Want to stay ahead of the curve? Take it from us. Passion fruit
is the next big thing. It’s popping up on fancy menus all over the
world. Can’t say we’re surprised – its sharp, tangy taste is unique,
addictive and totally out of this world. And this all-natural green tea
blend is a great way to get a taste. With sweet pineapple, pretty flower
petals and a big hit of passion fruit essence, it’s sure to be all the
rage. Try it over ice or infused into your next martini. (MK Kosher).
Best served:
Hot Tea / Iced Tea / Tea Pop
Ingredients
Pineapple (pineapple, cane sugar, citric acid, sulfites), green tea, black currants, cornflower petals, calendula petals, safflowers, natural passion fruit flavouring.
Overall Impression: The first thing my eyes zeroed in on in the ingredient list was "sulfites". Say what?? Eek, not something I want to consume. This tea smells nice, tastes faintly fruity, and I think it would make a good iced tea too. I do like green teas with a bit of fruit added, but the sulfites in the pineapple have turned me off.
Day 11's tea is Hot Chocolate, which is a pu'erh/black tea blend with added chocolatey stuff.

Feeling hot, hot, hot
We take hot chocolate pretty seriously around here. It’s gotta
be rich, decadent and mega-creamy. And after searching high and low for
the ultimate hot chocolate tea, we finally found the perfect blend. We
took a flavourful base of pu’erh and black tea, then we added real cocoa
nibs and fudgy chocolate chips. The result? An uber-chocolately blend
worthy of the name Hot Chocolate. Dark, sweet and totally satisfying,
it’s the perfect winter treat.
Best served:
Hot Tea
Ingredients
Pu'erh tea, black tea, cocoa nibs, chocolate chips (sugar, chocolate
liquor, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, vanilla), chocolate curls (sugar,
cocoa butter, whole milk powder, chocolate liquor, whey powder, lactose,
soy lecithin, vanilla), stevia extract, nat
Overall impression: Again, lots of added stuff to give a "good" flavour. It's sweet without being sickly sweet...I could see myself adding some whipped cream and a shot of Baileys to this to make it a nice Christmas morning treat (which I might just do with the remainder of my tin!)
