Had this this morning! It smells a lot like banana and not a lot like cheesecake kind of like the lime cheesecake. It tastes almost like chocolate, white chocolate to be precise. I think that might be the cheesecake flavor though. I really like it though. Very delicious!

Mmm – this is very similar to the fruit cocktail tea but also different. The cherry comes through nicely in both flavor and scent. It is a very smooth sweet tea. It almost reminds me of oolong. It’s very yummy.

Took a mini-break from trying my new teas to have some chai. This was good as always. Spicy and black and delicious with just a splash of milk.

Liquid Pecans! This tea tastes like liquid pecans! It is very awesome. I am very hot and cold with pecans. I love pecan pie but I would rarely eat plain pecans, and butter pecan ice cream is not my thing, but they are great in cookies. Any way this tea is definitely a positive pecan experience. If you love pecans you will love this tea.

Frank you really nailed this flavor!

Needless to say I enjoyed this tea. It smelled like pecans, tasted like pecans, but also like tea. Not the least bit bitter or fakey. I originally intended to have this tea with milk, but after trying a sip I decided that this tea was best left plain, maybe another day with additives.

Also on a different note I really want to try mixing this tea with the praline tea I also got in the box. I look forward to experimenting!

Tried this hot and it definitely brought out more fruit notes which I enjoyed. For some reason when it was hot it tasted more like green tea then black. It was more vegetal but who knows maybe that is the guava. I have never had guava to my knowledge. Any way it was a very nice cup of tea!

I made a pot of this yesterday and put it in the fridge to become iced. It is a very good black iced tea but it mostly tastes like an unflavored iced tea. I thought this would taste better as an iced tea than a hot tea (which is why that is how I tried it first), but now I think I will have to try it hot. It smells just like my passion fruit tea from thepuriTea and I loved that tea hot!! So I bet this will be awesome hot too! Regardless it makes a nice bold refreshing black iced.

Tea number four!! I really enjoyed this tea! It smells yummy like dried apples and it tastes refreshing and applely! I have only ever had one other apple tea (spiced apple chai) and this tastes kind of like that apple but times 10.

Number 3 from my clearance box! This one wasn’t that great. It kind of tasted and smelled dusty. It seems that some of the tea leaves got smashed up in transit. The tea was very fine and leaking through my infuser, kind of like roobios. I am gonna try making it in my teapot which has a finer mesh which will hopefully fix the problem. I think I would enjoy it outside that fact. It seemed like a pretty decent black tea so I am gonna hold of on the rating for the time being.

The dry tea smells very very limey and I am not getting much cheesecake but it still smells pleasant. Once the tea is steeped I a, getting much more of the cheesecake flavor! it tastes mostly like lime black tea, but then I paired it with some cookies and the sweetness of the cookies brought out the cheesecake in the tea. I don’t sweeten my teas (I currently don’t have anything to sweeten it with), but if I was someone who sweetened tea this would probably taste good with some sugar or maybe brown sugar. Anyway a solid tea, I always like teas that can be paired with a sweet snack :-)

This is my first tea from my clearance mystery box, I was in the mood for something fruity and green so this seemed like a good pick. If you want to see what other flavors I got, I posted them here: http://steepster.com/discuss/816-final-zoomdweebies-clearance.

I love the way this tea smells!! It smells like some kind of cherry candy, maybe mike & ikes or life savers – mmmmm! I first made it hot but then I decided to put ice in it since it is so hot out. The tea is a pretty light green color and it smells just like the dry leaves. It tastes like it smells too which is awesome! Its tastes like sweet, fruity, and there is a nice punch of green tea in there too. Overall this is delicious.
