Tazo

No. Just, no.

Tazo and I have had a pretty shaky relationship in the past. I really love the chai latte, matcha latte, and the brambleberry iced tea. Their bagged teas have been quite a miss on me. I think I would have liked the earl grey; if I liked earl grey at all! So I have been wanting a nice bunch of herbal teas. I have been liking floral flavors more recently so when I saw this on sale I grabbed it.
The tea bag smell is STRONG. It punches you in the face and doesn’t ask twice about who it’s targeting. The steeped tea is much lighter and has more of a lemon tint to it. mmmm
I finally got to take a sip and you know what? Not too bad. I don’t think this could possibly be an every day tea for me. But for a late night soother it might just do the trick. Or you could do what I’m tempted to and stick it in the bath! :p lol

I just realized what this would be good for! A palate cleanser. It really hits the high parts of the palate and it doesn’t linger too long. It also just has that “clean” type of taste. Very interesting.

I have to say; I’m a sucker for chamomile. Especially in some sort of herbal blend. This was really nice. I could taste every element of the blend. Chamomile is usually sweet, so it set a good foundation for the rest of the blend to play off of. It was really nice.

Can’t say it was very great. I don’t like breakfast teas anyway. There was little to no flavor. I’d like to know what sorts of black tea they put into it.

Tazo Rest has a slightly sweet and mellow flavor. This blend is not acidic like many herbal teas that are caffeine free and described as citrisy. Chamomile tea has never had a relaxing or sedative effect on me. Plus, I find the chamomile flavor deadly dull. I’ve had a difficult time finding this tea and read this flavor has been disconinued.

Had this tea at work a couple days ago; we carry a lot of the Tazo teas for some reason. I saw the hibiscus in it, and I knew it was going to be astringent, so I steeped it a little less. Somehow, it didn’t affect the level of astringency in the tea. It smelled amazing though. I could still taste some of the other herbs in the tea, even though the astringency pretty much dominated. If I had added some sugar, it would have probably cut down on the bitterness though. I’ll definitely do that next time.

Had bagged tea at work today. I was feeling dizzy and nauseous, so I decided to find some mint tea. There’s little to no tarragon in this one. The mint flavor was really nice, but I think the water was too hot for the tea and scorched the flavor out. It soothed my stomach, that’s for sure.

I’ve been enjoying this tea more these days than I would like to admit. I don’t know why, but its comforting simplicity is just magical to me. The best way to enjoy it in store is to get the tea bags on the side, and then put them in your cup about five or ten minutes after the water has had time to cool down sufficiently. Otherwise, this will be a big bitter mess.
The perfectly roasty, vegetative smell that this tea gives off is more than welcome right now. The slight astringency is also welcome. I’ve been feeling this tea even more than genmaicha’s soothing comfort these days, as I seem to be in a bit of a rut both tea-wise and life-wise, and China Green is an easy decision to make.
And who can overlook the ease with which this tea can be brewed? I love not having to measure, scoop, and clean my infuser. Not all the time, of course, but when the cup is this good, credit must be given where credit is due.

Soothing, smooth flavor. Gently floral, not overpowering even though I walked away and forgot about it as it steeped. I mostly taste rose, lemon, and the smallest hint of orangey licorice. It’s deliciously delicate & after a sip or two I feel rather dozy. Perfect for unwinding before bed!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this tarty tart of a tea.
Brilliant iced.
A staple tea for me(fruit tea addict)

I thought the taste was exquisite, bursting with flavour in every sip. Definitely a keeper.

When I first started drinking this I had it straight for months before I read that it should be mixed half half with milk or something. I thought it was a bit strong.

I then started mixing it with orange juice and that was good.

It is a good combination. I like it. I think it’s better cold on a hot day without any sugar or milk.

The bag may be biodegradable but don’t put it in your compost because it doesn’t degrade in time to for that. Maybe if you were to collect them and for a while and then boil them without any tea leaves for long enough they would start to biodegrade but I only saw that once for a biodegradable plastic bag on youtube.

The best mint blend I’ve ever had. It is a great to accompany yerba mate with it. I find when I do mix it with yerba mate it brings the caffeine out really well.

One of the best “fast food” earl grays I’ve ever had (fast food as in bag tea instead of loose).

It is truly a joyful tea. I love it. If you want you can put milk/sugar in though it’s good enough without it.

It’s a nice light tea that has to be brewed at a lower temperature like all white teas.

It is a good combination. I like it. I think it’s better cold on a hot day without any sugar or milk.

It’s nice. Definitely not their best but worth trying.
