Popular Tasting Notes

I agree with the comments below, at least for drinking it hot. There’s a bit of the fruit smell, but I don’t actually taste it all that much. For cheap green tea, though, it’s nice to have on hand.

Finally my first taste of the famed swamp water. I have wanted to try this for awhile now, so I got a sample, just 20g, to try it. And I love it! The guava is perfect. The colour did throw me off a bit and the water doesn’t steep through my Steeper that well (it gets clogged). But I will definitely be buying a big tin of this for the winter. Perfect warm me up.

I spent my entire stash trying to figure out a way to brew this tea without bitterness and on my last cup I finally got it. Very brief steeps mixed together bring out the depth that was missing. The tea somehow became brighter and cleaner and the strong vegetalness faded. A very enjoyable oolong tea indeed!

When I visited Souvia they had this tea as a taster. It was pleasant and not overpowering. When I made it at home the smell was overpowering and I almost had to force myself to drink it. I tried it again and it was a little bit better.

A good, vibrant autumn favorite, with a nice mix of spice and sweet (although I admit, I would like more spice to bring out the chai). The little pumpkin candies are cute, but I’m not sure how much flavor they add. The aroma is incredible, and I’ve taken to adding a pinch more cinnamon to my cups.

Ok this is so good. I’m just putting it out there now. I walked by my cup a minute ago and thought to myself “what is that wonderful smell??” It was this tea. Usually I have to wait for a tea to cool quite a bit before I really get a lot of flavor from it…but this one I can drink hot and still taste the mint and the pineapple…and coconut? I dunno…it’s almost creamy. It’s really good. No sugar needed. Will have to get more of this.

EDIT: I couldn’t even tell there was rooibos in this. I mean I saw it when I scooped it out of the bag…but didn’t even recognize that it was rooibos and I def don’t taste it at all..at least not hot anyway…when it cools I’ll add more notes.

Ok…had it iced. It’s lovely as an iced tea. Very nice. The citrus is still not the main flavor contributor…but that creamy coconut and mint remains…and it isn’t a harsh mint at all..the coconut isn’t in your face and the fruity citrus notes underneath gives it a pleasant balance…had myself about 2 large glasses of this iced today. yummers.

Mild tea, slightly watery. The ginger could be stronger, only then it will taste better. Not sure if I tasted citrus in this tea. Overall, ok tea – I’m sure there are others that are way better.

I’m a huge fan of this tea. Never had the bags, but I’ve always got a tin of loose leaves on top of the fridge. It’s a perfect rainy day tea; the scents of orange and cornflower will pick you right up! One of the best-smelling teas.

Supposedly it’s impossible to oversteep Lady Grey. I usually try to leave it for at least three minutes to get the full flavour out. I drink it plain; it doesn’t need sugar and it’s herbal-tasting enough that milk doesn’t do it any favours.

Had this tea before bed for a relaxing night. The leaves smell extremely strong, with really high citrus notes. Tasted okay, a bit too overwhelming for me. Not an everyday drink but doable, nonetheless.
