Tazo

A bit creamy.. slightly sweet… all good

Nice and spicy. My first chai. I enjoyed it

very spicey made my friend cough…. he was a novice tea drinker though i really like the boldness of it

really citrusy and tangy alittle strange kinda

it was low key bitter but definitely good and strong at times

One of my favorite teas. Good for tummies and throats and lungs.

Had a dark yellow liquor. The smell was immediately pear and ginger. The actual tastes ranged from hints of pear to ginger and smacks of black pepper.

The tea is hot and spicy in a green tea fashion. All things considered, they could have made the pear flavor more obvious. Definitely wasn’t my favorite of the Tazo line-up. But a nice tea and not to be overlooked.

Not memorable. But it’s one of the few black teas they server at starbucks.

Most people love apple and cinnamon flavors… I, apparently, do not. It had an earthy brown liquor and a wonderful aroma. It smelled like so many Yankee candles or scented potpourri. I appreciated the nice sour apple pucker in this tea, but it was so horribly smothered with cinnamon that it tasted more like a cider gone horribly wrong. There were splashes of watery caramel that just weren’t welcome and didn’t fit in.

The most infuriating thing is that I can’t understand where I went wrong. I can enjoy almost any tea, and I love Tazo teas…but I literally threw the cup of tea out.

EDIT: I think I know why I don’t like it! A revelation! It’s flavor reminded me of something, I now remember what it was. It reminds me of the Quaker Oats, cinnamon/apple-flavored oatmeal I had as a child. In respects to breakfast and oatmeal…I got sick of it eventually and have never really liked the flavor since… =/

Very tasty on a cold and stressful autumn afternoon, but not my first choice.

Pretty tasty on a windy, wet autumn afternoon. Good by itself steeped for about 180 seconds.

Mmm, delicious iced green tea!

A delicious part of my 3 cup day.

A delightful tea when not oversteeped (as I usually make it). Great for a crappy sick day.

It seemed better this time around. Really easy to over-steep it, so perhaps less steeping was the key.

Not a bad tea, but I don’t love green teas so it’s not on my favorite list.

It is true! Starbucks has loose leaf tea! If you ask for it I had the loose leaf earl grey tea latte minus the milk. Finally a good cup of tea from Tazo. ( I almost wrote them off for being so bad when it comes to the bagged tea)

Have to admit…not one for flavored teas, really. But I love Passion fruit. This tea has a rich colorful bouquet of citrus and perfume. The liquor is a fascinating bruised purple. Tazo makes my favorite bagged teas and though I doubt I could stand to drink this regularly, it’s uplifting to drink this in the bath or while reading. It has a tart sour flavor that tastes…well…to be frank and a little synesthesic…like purple.

Kind of my default tea choice at Starbucks. It’s okay, I dig the lemongrass. My husband makes it iced at home all the time, one of his favourites iced.
