Quite tasty for a powdered tea. You can taste the blueberry and green tea, but neither overpower the drink. The green tea isn’t bitter at all and the blueberry is nice and sweet.

It tastes a lot like soap if you steep it the recommended time. If you steep it less than 2 minutes you can get a nicer tea with a moderate flavour, but it isn’t as strong as I would have liked.

Flavors: Coconut, Fruity, Soap

Not a lot of strawberry or coconut flavour, but you can taste a dusty, bitter flavour from the tea.

Not as tasty as I was hoping. You can slightly taste some fruity flavour, but the tea taste seemed off to me. It also over steeps easily.

Flavors: Fruity, Tannic

While I really love the fruity apricot flavour, I find this tea to become bitter and tannic very quickly. You can only leave it steeping for two minutes at most.It is nice with milk in it, but is sweet enough you don’t need to add sweetener.

Flavors: Apricot, Fruity, Peach, Stonefruit, Tannic

This blend is DELICIOUS! It is my favourite rooibos from Granville Island Tea Company. I can taste the orange and spices, even on the second and third cups. The orange flavour is a git different from normal orange. It is less bright and more like a dried citrus zest. I love orange flavour but avoid acidic teas, so this rooibos is perfect. It has the subtle sweetness that rooibos often has, which makes it great for iced tea.

Tastes a little bit artificial. I’m not a huge fan of the strawberry flavour they used, but I do like that it isn’t acidic or tart. That being said, the flavour was apparent (but not strong), even on the second and third steep. This tea tisane was pretty good with milk and with honey added.

Raspberry and vanilla flavours could be a bit stronger, but overall a very tasty and sweet tea. There is a creamy, dessert-like quality to this tea, which I very much enjoy.

This tea is very sweet and rooibos-y but there is not a lot of apple flavour or apple pie spices. It smells like sweet apple pie, but I wish the flavour was a bit stronger. The nice thing about this tea is you can keep the tea bag in and it never gets too strong or bitter.

Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Fruity, Rooibos, Spices, Sweet
