I really want to like this tea much more than I do. I’m not sure what it is exactly, but there’s something missing—it’s just not quite what I expected from the name & description. I taste the cinnamon & cloves (not the orange peel, really), but it needs a “kick”—some other spice or flavour.

This is one of my favourite teas, but it’s not really an everyday tea. I tend to save it for “special occasions” (any day when I feel like I need something a little different). The coconut is sweet, but not overly so, and it works well with the green tea. The green tea in this blend is very mellow and not the usual GREEN tea. I usually steep it for a couple of extra minutes—it’s very light in colour. Smells absolutely fantastic too!

Normally I wouldn’t have bought Earl Grey from Celestial Seasonings, but I had a coupon and it was the only appealing blend in stock at the time. It’s actually not bad, but I probably wouldn’t buy it again.

It’s colder today so I pulled this one out of my stash. Fall can’t get here soon enough!

Added a bit too much tea when I brewed this and it brought out a strange flavour (the creme)… kind of odd. I’ll be careful to add less next time!
