Popular Tasting Notes
I’ve received a few samples of this tea. I simply don’t rave about it in the same way as everyone else. I liked it…i tried it after finishing off a very nice oolong by Ten Ren so I think perhaps I wasn’t as wowed as everyone else. I found the tea cheesy in someways and in other ways reminded me of creamed spinach. I wouldn’t reorder.
I wouldn’t have picked this one for myself, but I brewed up the sample bag one evening after a long day of traveling. Now, I wouldn’t have picked this because I’m not usually a fan of chamomile, unless it’s used cleverly within a blend.
In Savasana tea, the main star is definitely the chamomile. I like lemon balm and verbena – I even have the prior growing in my yard for steeping up in teas. Unfortunately, here I just get a cooling, medicinal-sweet herbal cough drop/Ricola sort of vibe backing up the chamomile. I can totally get how this would be soothing, but I only drank about half the cup. Once it cooled down it was too much for me.
I really liked this tea not only for the distinct rooibos flavour, but also for the hints of cocoa and chocolate running through it. Unexpectedly great tea and the flavours work well together. Must try!
Flavors: Chocolate, Cocoa, Rooibos
Preparation
Maybe I’m just weird, but I actually like the slight bitterness of it. I have a bad habit of using quite a bit of sugar in my tea, but I’ve been using a lot less in this stuff. Definitely not my favorite, but its not bad at all. I could see it being very good iced, too.
Preparation
This is one of my favourite teas right now! (It’s right up there with Rishi Tropical Coconut, my other current favourite.) The Paromi scent reminds me of fresh almond croissants in a bakery. The flavor is smooth & buttery, but not overly sweet. It reminds me a bit of a dark oolong. It’s like dessert in a cup!
Flavors: Almond, Butter, Coconut
This tea is good, I bought 4 oz after I first tried it because I thought I loved it. After drinking it a few more times I’ve fallen out of love with it. I prefer it hot to iced, but I would love to try it frozen into a popsicle. I think it would be a great option for a tea popsicle. It’s not quite as fun to drink anymore since it’s beginning to turn to fall but my hope is to finish what I have soon. I don’t think I will really need to buy more once I finish what I have. That being said a lot of people love this tea so it might be your type of tea. It’s super fruity, a little tart, and very sweet.
Flavors: Blackberry
Preparation
On first impression, this very green tea not only looked like, but even smelled like grass. I was slightly sceptical. The variation I tasted was sweetened, but still had a lingering bitterness, not powerful, but similar to the taste I experience after mowing a lawn on a hot day. Everything about this reminds me of grass, yet somehow I find this enjoyable.
Flavors: Grass, Sweet
Preparation
The only interesting thing about this is the color, a beautiful ruby tone which most probably came from an unsuspecting poor beetle in the Amazon. It’s weird tasting, too sour, with no specific scent or flavor at all. Hated it.
