Popular Tasting Notes

I am not a huge fan of this tea at all, got it in my big gift of teas from David’s, and this taste so horribly milky. Gave most of it away to a coroker

Using up my last sample of this. I’m really trying to use up all the little bits of tea so I can order more. :) As always I am enjoying this. I accidentally steeped it a few seconds too lon g and I can tell in the taste, but it’s fine. Thanks again to Teavivre for all the delicious samples they’ve sent over the years! See other notes for more info on this tea.

Has a very earthy and floral aroma that takes me straight to the garden. Having trouble tasting the passionfruit though (not necessarily the fault of the tea, probably just my untrained palate). The tart bitterness is present, but I am still missing fruitiness from the passion fruit.

Light with just enough bitter bite. Nothing to write home about but perfect for that lazy day sitting and reading in the morning.

I do not like the smell of this tea, but the taste is good. A little bit of a pumpkin-y aftertaste. While I was drinking it, I did enjoy it and I must say I do enjoy Rooibos. I agree with some other reviews, that it is like an autumn-y flavored Rooibos. Good for relaxing on a fall night before bed. :) I added a splash of non-fat milk and a little sugar.

Again, it is alright, not my favorite scent and I’m not pumpkin obsessed like everyone else in America (although I keep trying again and again to love it) but it was enjoyable.

My fourth offering of this tea in two years… this years batch is simply stunning! Light buttery citrus hints in the first steep, followed by subsequent bold grassy notes. Complex and delicious!

This one smells much nicer than it tastes. I’m usually excited for anything that lists coconut and pineapple thinking it might come close to the delicious Pina Colada Tea that David’s briefly had a number of years ago. And to my nose it smells like it could be a sweet tropical mix. Unfortunately when brewed it’s mostly a pineapple flavor and not even a very nice one. I would describe it as being very much like underripe pineapple, probably due to the soursop giving it the bitter and tart flavor. I don’t think it’s horrible and would actually welcome a pineapple flavored tea but this one is just a twinge too sour and I don’t think it’s special enough that I would repurchase.

Mmmm! I like this better on the second go. It doesn’t need anything added to it. I actually like it a teensy bit oversteeped—the syrup and the hint of bitterness is actually quite tasty.

Definitely smelling the grass that others have mentioned, but not as bad and in much more of that classic green tea way. I meant to steep it at boiling like the directions mentioned, but I got distracted so it’s steeping at 172 degrees right now. Oh well. I won’t lie, the smell of this tea just smells…bad. My first thought was rotten eggs, but I don’t want to go that far. I literally had to hold my nose to sip it. The taste is pretty grassy, but that nasty egg taste is lurking in the background. This is getting dumped.

Tasted pretty bland to me. Flavor was more nutty than I’m used to from Darjeeling. Sweetness in the aftertaste. Underwhelming, but it didn’t taste bad. Try it if you like light Darjeelings.

Over ice with lunch. To watered down by the end, but tasty to start.

This smells like bubble gum! It tastes like peach bubble gum, which isn’t as disgusting as it sounds.

My current “go to” tea.

I did not like this tea.

Nice, but not my thing.
