Had this iced again, always very pleasant. The touch of hibiscus is what gives the tea its deep purple color and tasty tang.

Definitely for the lover of bergamot.

The orange taste is very subtle, and this tea is so easily brewed incorrectly—although it’s not too bitter even then. This tea was made by a barista so it wasn’t very well brewed, but I still liked it, more or less.

Tastes wonderful iced. For the times when Harney & Sons’ Caribe fails me.

Tastes like most chocolate-style mates I’ve had so far. The specific flowers in this blend soften the flavor (which is the key to most “latte”-style teas, along with wonder that is vanilla). It’s nice to have what’s effectively a latte in taste without resorting to milk of any type, and nice to have a caffeinated herbal tea with this effect (you often find black tea blends of the latte kind, the “Creamy Earl Grey”s and suchlike).

I really like the softened orange taste of this blend, which makes use of vanilla and flowers to give a “latte” style taste to the black tea and orange. Plus it being orange instead of the stronger bergamot yields a not-too-strong flavor; just right. The vanilla softens the citrus taste further, giving it a distinct taste from that of other softer citrus teas like Lady Grey.

One of my favorite chocolate teas that’s also dairy-free. I usually like to drink this in the morning—at least, I do during the fall and winter months. (And spring as well, considering how the weather goes in the Pacific Northwest.) I haven’t had it iced, not sure it would do well there; but then again, you never know until you try.

One of my favorite TAZO teas, the second being Wild Sweet Orange, this is a tea that’s most perfect iced. I love the tang as well as the deep purple color of the brew.

I really love Vanilla Bean, apparently more than a lot of other folks. I think the vanilla blends perfectly with pretty good black tea, and am hard-pressed to think of a finer version for black tea. It tastes very natural, unlike some other teas that often rely on vanilla flavoring rather than vanilla beans.
