I chose this as one of my free samples when I ordered the “Steepster Select” stainless travel mug from Tea Frog. I am not very well-versed when it comes to green teas, and this might only be the second flavoured green tea I’ve tried. Overall, it’s very pleasant… I was worried that it might be sweet but other than the teeny bit the fruit pieces and coconut add, it’s not really.

I didn’t use a huge, heaping teaspoon so I steeped it a bit longer than I normally would a green tea (about 4-5 min, but I wasn’t watching the clock closely). The colour is very light, a yellowish-green, and the scent is also light—slightly fruity with a hint of something tropical. The flavour is subtle… nothing jumps out at me, note-wise, and thankfully I don’t get anything artificial from this blend. I’m very grateful that I can’t tell there’s ginger in here, and I don’t get any cardamom either. It’s a very pleasant green blend with a little something extra. Nice, but I don’t think it’s a must-have for me when the sample runs out.

This is a good “upset stomach” tea, which is what I used it for today. I wish it actually had some flavour to it, but the incredible smell almost makes up for the bland minty green tea taste. Still not a favourite, but I upped the rating just a bit because I do usually enjoy it when I have some.

Got this as one of the free samples with my TeaFrog travel mug and was excited to try it! I can’t quite pinpoint the notes (I’m not always so good at distinguishing those), but I think I see orange peel in the blend along with lots of flower bits. The taste is quite unique—I don’t think I can compare it to anything else I’ve had. I wish I could be more specific, but I think I’ll have to try it again.

Overall, I quite like it and I’m glad it’s different than any other earl grey blend I’ve had. I am not totally sure I’d order it after I finish the sample, but maybe by the next time I brew it I’ll be able to decide. Definitely worth a try!

I pulled this out to drink today (it’s been a long time since I last had it) and was pleasantly surprised. The bag said to brew for 5 min., and I didn’t keep my eye on the clock too closely but I probably steeped it for around that time. Pink colour, fairly strong raspberry flavour (but not overpowering), but the green tea mellows it out. There’s no tartness or weird herbal taste—I’m definitely a fan!

I haven’t had this in a couple of months, and it sounded good today. Consistently good—still a favourite!

Thought I’d try this since we had some at work and I probably wouldn’t ever buy it for myself. Pretty okay standard black tea – kind of a mellow blend. Not terrible, not amazing.

This tea was given to me by an old roommate (I never would’ve bought it for myself), so I gave it a try despite my hatred for herbal teas. It does have a pleasant/fresh grassy smell, but the taste was not something I enjoyed. It’s a lemony, grassy herbal tea.

A mini-tin of this tea was bought for me as a gift and I just didn’t enjoy it. The peach was okay, but the ginger wasn’t. I’m pretty sensitive when it comes to ginger, because I just don’t like it for the most part. I tried two bags and then left the rest in the tea cabinet at work.
