No overly impressed with this tea. It wasn’t horrible or anything it just wasn’t great. I had it will a bit of milk and it distinctly reminded of when I experimented with putting French vanilla creamer in black tea. It kind of results in a weak tea, fake vanilla flavor. I will finish the sample I got but definitely won’t be buying more.

I really enjoy this tea. It is very relaxing and I think it goes excellently with sweet snacks (I just had it with some chocolate chip cookies). I also think this tea has very strong flavor, all the elements shone through nicely. The only thing I don’t like is the smell – I think it is the rose, it’s kind of a sickly smell. Luckily it doesn’t taste like the dry leaf smells so all is good.

I just read other reviews and found it weird that others found it to be mainly a spearmint flavor. I really really dislike spearmint but it doesn’t bother me in this tea at all – maybe that’s the weird smell though?

The dry leaves smelled awesome. They smelled so carmely!! Very nice tea. It has a nice black tea flavor with just a hint of caramel. It was nice and sweet but not overpowering. I added milk to bring out the caramel flavor. It was quite good.

2nd infusion – no milk – still yummy!

This tea was pretty decent. It was a pretty basic green tea. I enjoyed the flavor. Grassy and green-tea-y. There wasn’t much mandarin flavor.

I prepared this tea hot and then chilled it in the fridge for a few hours.

I will definitely enjoy the rest of this sample but I probably won’t purchase more of this tea.

I really enjoyed this tea. I must admit I haven’t really tried oolong before ( besides maybe pre-bottle iced kind) so I can’t rate this tea on it’s oolongness, but as a tea in general it was quite good.

The dry leaves smelled delicious kind of like an almond joy. The wet leaves didn’t have as strong of a coconut smell – it smells kind off spicy like fresh cut herbs or grass.

The tea tasted kind of like green tea, vegetal. Then it tasted kind of smooth/oily but in a good way. I have heard people describe oolong as buttery so maybe that’s it. Finally it had just a hint of coconut. The coconut wasn’t strong but I liked that because it added to the flavor without taking away from the tea flavor.

I really enjoy this tea. It is sweet but not too sweet and has a very nice light and refreshing flavor. Just what you want in an iced tea.

Had this tea this morning with homemade blueberry waffles = yum! I love this tea. It is a very sturdy breakfast tea, the best I have ever had :-)

I had this iced today and I think that I liked it better this way. It seems like something that would be better hot, but I think that the chocolate/toffee flavor comes through more when this is iced. It was pretty yummy :-).

Bio

Tea has always been a part of my life. A cup of tea was always the solution to middle school tears and high school early mornings.

When I was in college I started quite the little tea collection in my tiny kitchen cabinets.

I have definitely scaled back my tea ordering and tasting the past 2 years or so, but I am getting back into it.

Outside of tea my interests include reading, photography, too much tv, visiting new places, trying new restaurants and playing video games with my husband.
