Not a lot of tea taste, more of a sweet fruity drink.

A bit sweet for me, but I really enjoy all of the flavours. I buy these when I go on hikes/picnics because they are only a dollar each.

For some reason I thought I didn’t enjoy Twinings English Breakfast because I remember it being weak and bitter. I always take home the tea bags they give you in hotel rooms, even if I don’t like the tea, so that is how I ended up with this teabag. I didn’t enjoy it as much as Red Rose, but it was not bitter on the first steep and I thought the flavour was pretty good. It got a bit bitter on the second steep, but it was not unpleasant. I wish it was more malty, but I think if I had added milk, the tea would have been smoothed out a bit.

Overall, there was not anything that really stood out for me with this blend, but it certainly wasn’t bad.

I found the green tea used in this blend extremely pleasant. I have a difficult time finding green teas that I enjoy because so many are bitter, astringent, or too weak. Anyway, I love the green tea used in this.

The jasmine went really well with the green tea. I normally enjoy very strong jasmine teas but I actually really liked the subdued jasmine in this because it allowed the green tea flavour to how through.

First steep was 3 minutes in very hot water with one teabag in a medium size teapot. Second steep was more flavourful because i let it steep a four more minutes. Third steep was starting to be overly tannic. The second steep was my favourite, but I think if you played with the times a bit, you might be able to get three good steeps out of the teabag.

Quite minty without a lot of chocolate. I would have liked some creamy/white chocolate flavours. It is pretty good for a bagged tea, however I find the sweetness off putting. It tastes like an artificial sweetener was added which lingers as an after taste after you have swallowed.

I’ve bought this tea twice before, but I recently ran out and so I purchased a sample with the others I bought from Tea in Spoons. I have not had it in months, so I forgot how good it was. I love the sweetness of the rooibos base with the creamy brown sugar flavour. This also makes an amazing latte or after dinner “dessert”. I usually just keep the tea bag in and keep refilling the cup to make several steepings instead of timing when to take the teabag out. I love how forgiving rooibos is.

I am not going to rate this tea because I do not like marzipan and I feel like it would be unfairly low. That being said, I thought this tea had a strong nutty marzipan taste, over top of a mild green tea base. There is nothing artificial or “off” about the flavour, and I think all the undertones go really well together.

I got a sample of this from Tea in Spoons and I adore it! I’m going to buy a big bag of it as soon as I run out, because everything about it is delicious. I do not find the taste artificial like others do. It is a bit like genmaicha but with some pineapple flavour in it as well. It has a toasty and subtle sweetness to it, which I really like. The fruity pineapple has a really nice flavour, and it doesn’t have that astringent soapy taste that some pineapple/pina colada teas have.

I just received this sample in a package from Tea in Spoons (thank you so much!)

I still need to make this a few more times before I know for sure what I am tasting,. There are so many flavours. First and foremost, the tea is sweet and fruity, but not acidic. I taste a light tea with a lot of tannins but there is no trace of bitterness. I like the fruit and coconut with this tea base.
