New Tasting Notes

Another cup

I really enjoy this around christmas time.

I really like this one. There is just a hint of grapefruit, which I happen to love.

It’s interesting. I haven’t yet found the exact ideal brewing time and temperature, but I think that once I do, it will be enjoyable enough for a bagged tea.

I take this to work with me whenever I feel icky. It is not that different than any other peppermint herbal tea, in that it is refreshing and cool and tasty.

I seem to have a lot of this…it’s a pretty good cup…pretty fruity tasting…if you like that sort of thing…

Lime has always been one of my favorite flavors in everything from juice to candy, but I still don’t think I’ve ever encountered a retail product quite so !! as this. It’s almost overpowering when brewed hot, so I can see why people who aren’t as enamored of the flavor are turned off, but I have a feeling this would make absolutely divine iced tea.

This is probably the best packaged chai I’ve ever had. The spices are abundant and balanced, and the tea is of good quality. I wish this place was located near me so I could drink this on a regular basis!

This tea has an very convincing peach flavor. In fact, I know real peach juice is used in making it. The tea itself brews to a pale peachy color, and tastes almost like you’re drinking juice instead of tea. There is no bitterness whatsoever. I love it. It’s a shame there’s no caffeine in it, although.

This is an amazingly good tasting herbal tea. It brews up purple and tastes like fresh blueberry jelly or something similar. The only shame is that it’s decaf. I wish the grocery stores around me carried this brand.

perfect without sweetener.

This tea tastes just like Froot Loops to me! Especially if you steep it for 4 minutes or more. It brews up yellowy green and smells like lemons. Really refreshing. I can’t wait to try it cold. I’ll probably be ordering more. However, I think you should go with two teaspoons instead of one per cup.

The actual tea is not quite as strong as I’d hoped, but the balance of spices is great.

Yum! Really tastes like chestnuts. Slightly smokey and sweet.

Infused in my gaiwan and drank in the bright mid-morning sunlight (only a couple of days of sun before the rain returns – ah, spring in the Pacific Northwest) and sipped the sweetness. I’m so glad I learned to brew this correctly — my first half-dozen tries were wayyyyy to astringent (hint, avoid boiling water, long infusions, or too much leaf).

Very strong lavender, and not at all herbal tasting, despite all the herbs. Really wish you could taste the rose!

I usually don’t drink flavored tea but this one sparked my curiosity. It’s pretty good but I couldn’t see drinking this everyday. Tangy cherry flavor comes through mostly with the sencha flavor lying underneath. I think it has added flavorings other than the Sakura. I only steeped this twice as I got tired of the flavor fast. Definitely worth a try.

Always good!

Looks like piss. Smells like Lemon Pinesol. Why did I taste it? It’s like lemony ginger water. Yughhh.

Another cup – I see I have quite a bit left…don’t really know why…I like it.

Although the pineapple taste didn’t carry over to tea form very well, I still enjoyed this blend. It’s good hot, but much better iced. The flavor kinda makes me think of pina coladas. When I found out it was being discontinued, I bought a lot of it.
