This smells ridiculously strong and fruit as dry leaves. It is a little overpowering. Once I got used to it I realized it smells exactly like this herbal berry tea my mom used to make me when I was little. It looks and tastes like it too. It is very sour/tart. Not in a bad way, just in a fruit tea way. Its not my favorite hot though. I think the sourness might taste better cold. I am also getting a tiny hint of something woodsy, but the taste is overwhelmingly sour berries. Kind of like when you eat a sour blueberry. The tea is also like bright pink.

In sum – it is decent but not really my favorite. Definitely won’t be buying more of this.

I really like moroccan mint tea so I figured this would be similar… I was wrong. It smells pretty good – kind of like cedar. It doesn’t taste very good. It is kind of salty almost and very weak. It doesn’t taste like green tea and I am not getting any mint. After drinking for a little while my mouth feels kind of minty like right after you brush your teeth but that is the only hint of mint. This wasn’t “can’t finish the cup” bad, but it was “really glad this is just a sample” bad. Oh well.

I bought this one day when the grocery store was out of prince of wales tea. It isn’t bad. It doesn’t have any outstanding features and it is pretty standard. It isn’t bitter or weak or anything though. I had it with some leftover cake and it worked perfectly well for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

I just love this tea! It is simple because it is bagged but very flavorful. It has great tea flavor and its strong without being bitter. Very enjoyable.

Had this today at breakfast. I went to this little breakfast/lunch place that I always go to with my Mom when I am home. I always get this chai tea. It isn’t very tea-y because it is made from powder but it is still pretty good. They also have mighty leaf tea which one of these days I need to order.

Had this today but I got distracted unpacking the car so I oversteeped it. It was a little bitter, but not too bad. I really enjoy darjeeling tea, but I have never tried a high quality kind. This is a good quick tea though.

This was pretty good. I had it at the dinning hall today. My last cup from there this semester because today was my last final. It was not the best cup of tea to celebrate the end of a semester with but it was pretty decent. It wasn’t too weak and it had decent flavor. Pretty much your typical earl grey.

I love unsweetened iced tea. All iced tea should be unsweetened. It was yummy and not bitter at all and pretty flavorful.

My wonderful boyfriend made me some of this while I was studying for my exam I have tomorrow. It was much needed. I swear that I have rated this tea before but I can’t find any trace of it – maybe I am going crazy. More about this tea when my brain isn’t so fried.

Just made a pot of this. It was delicious and spicy and cinnamon and warm. It was much needed after a day of studying for my molecular final and packing.
