Tazo

I enjoy this tea quite a bit. It is always a quick grab in the summer. I tend to ignore it a bit throughout the winter as it truly cools me down with all of the mint flavor. If you don’t like mint, definitely move on from this tea. However, if you are like me and need a nice, cool tea to beat the heat, then this is a perfect try.

Tastes so good with cream and sugar…

I can never drink this plain. Today I had it with creamer only, smooth.

I like it iced and sweetened, it tastes like juice.

So good from Starbucks, can’t really go wrong. Warming on a cold day.

I’ve been drinking a lot of these while sick because I needed something flavourful I could actually taste — even orange pekoe at its strongest without cream or sugar tasted like slightly flavoured water. I think it’s the tartness of this tea that actually hits my tastebuds amidst the nine layers of cough syrup and mucus. (Sorry for TMI).

Thankfully, I am now beginning the road to recovery — although I’ve actually pulled a muscle in my abdomen from coughing for a week solid and one of my lymph nodes still feels quite swollen. I hope it’s not strep. Ughhhhh.

So cheerful and soothing, it makes me happy when I make it at work. Tastes best for me when it’s quite hot, it gets less enjoyable as it cools.

Somewhat bland, on a par with Tetley’s British Blend.

Tastes like gingerbread cookies. Surprisingly not bad at all, considering that I have disliked every other Tazo tea so far.

When I opened the packet, I was confronted by an overpowering floral aroma reminiscent of the kind of cheap perfume that arrives ten minutes before the person wearing it. I had to overcome my revulsion to the smell to steep the tea and drink it. The floral aroma certainly did not produce in me the meditative state I associate with zen. I wish I knew what that floral aroma was, since nothing on the ingredient list matches it. I get the same smell from tazo’s calm chamomile and passion packets, but in their case I couldn’t even bring myself to make the tea.

Once the bag had finished steeping, the aroma had mostly subsided, and the tea tasted similar to tazo’s refresh, though more like spearmint. I did not taste any lemon that I expected from the lemon verbena and lemongrass, nor did I really taste the green tea. I didn’t finish the cup. The mint flavor was its only redeeming quality.

My one and only bag of this and I have no idea where it came from. I’m not expecting much since it’s a Tazo tea but it could be surprisingly tasty. I imagine this is mostly for iced tea but with it being so cold here in England there is no point in me drinking it iced.

The bag looked like your standard dusty teabag with little to no fragrance. Once brewed the tea is a honey colour with with a slight berry aroma, almost like a mist.

Well it tastes better than I thought but not by much. Berry wise it tastes a little like cranberry with some vegetal floral after taste. It would be the sort of generic tea you would expect from a large chain that is served in their stores. I’m not meaning to sound stuck up or too good for bagged tea but in most cases I find they contain cheap ingredients and are often the same price as fresher loose tea.

Am I happy I only had one bag? Yes
Would I buy this? No
If this was on the menu in a restaurant would I order it? Yes if the other tea’s did not take my fancy

i love this tea! i don’t particularly like heavy fruit teas so this one is perfect for me. it has a very light taste (probably because i didn’t have the patience to wait for it to steep). i love it though!

Mild floral scent in bag. Moderate black tea (low acid) with minor floral notes. Leaving bag in cup, as it cools the flavor deepens loosing some of the delicate herbal flavors.

At Starbucks across from my school. Not horrible, at least it’s caffeine.

This is one of my favorite teas, it is also one of the first teas that I bought as the full leaf version and made me love teas. Just when I opened up the tea it smells amazing; lemony, sweet, minty, and at the same time has a nice green tea backing flavor. When I brew it and start sipping I enjoy the simple combination of lemongrass, peppermint, and sweetness. Very good tea overall.

Yet another tea I got for Christmas. I’m very happy with the taste, although I do think it’d be better as a cold brew, for a nice refreshing sweet tea in the summer. The taste is an interesting one, and not something I’m much used to, but it’s good nonetheless. The steam and aroma from this tea seems to help with this horrible stuffy nose I’m suffering from lol. My mother gave some of this tea in a little tea sampler that she and my aunt had made. I do like it, but not as much as others. On a scale of 1-10, I would give this about a 7.5 :)

More peppermint flavor than spearmint. Reminds me of Wrigley’s doublemint gum. I don’t really taste the tarragon, however. This is okay, but I like Ahmad’s mint green better and Numi Moroccan mint much better. Something is missing from this tea – it tastes one-dimensional despite having three herbs in it. It has the flat aftertaste of the peppermint which I don’t like. This tea would probably be better mixed with a green or black tea as a base. My least favorite of the 3 mint teas I have tasted so far. But it is nice to drink with a cold.

BACKLOG!
I quite enjoy this one, for a bagged tea. It has some nice oomph. yum!
Now, I was at a friends place so didn’t have time to focus on the flavours etc… but I would certainly never turn a cuppa this beaute down :)
