Celestial Seasonings

This tea smells exactly like my favorite childhood cereal- Blueberry Morning by Post. So that definitely helps it.

Otherwise, I really do like the tea! In my opinion it definitely needs to be served quite hot or ice cold- it really can get pretty terrible in the middle of those temperatures- sort of dries out your throat and leaves a bad aftertaste.
I’d also recommend a short brew time.

Definitely full on blueberry but you can also pick up the floral notes.

Really wasn’t a big fan of the flavor at all, which is too bad =/
I really wanted to like it. Nothing about it conveyed sugar cookie to me….

Definitely not the worst tea I’ve had. I think I might’ve built it up in my mind when buying it, and I know many others love this tea. The flavor was really just not for me.

Definitely try it for yourself, though.

A very easy bagged tea for a lazy day. Has nice flavor without a bad aftertaste like some bagged honey teas. Really quite pleasant.

it was amazing and really helped!

Excellent as iced tea. Just about the right amount of tartness.

One of my all time favorite teas. Red tea is such a unique and refreshing taste, and the vanilla notes make this truly comforting and tasty.

Comforting and refreshing. I love the combination of peach and spearmint. Leaves me drowsy and content.

Now that I think about it, this tea reminds me of one of my favorite honey/lemon cough drops :p It’s soothing, and I had this cup just before bed. I suppose it does have a bit of an artificial taste to it, but hey, it’s a cheap and easy feel-better tea :)

I was quite excited to find this on the shelf last Fall. I love apples, I love cinnamon, I love tea, so this should be great, right?! Opening the box was heaven, as well. I wanted that smell in my mouth immediately, which is why I was incredibly disappointed when I took one sip, dumped the rest of the mug in the sink, and made a cup of chamomile to get the taste of mutant cinnamon out of my mouth. This stuff is wayyyy too potent – were you guys trying to make some kind of love potion?? The cinnamon is really all that I could taste, when I was hoping for a tangy apple base with light cinnamon notes. In fact, if this blend was just cinnamon tea it would be too much cinnamon! I did end up using one of the bags in a crock pot to season some apple cider, and it worked pretty well, and I might save the bags to make a simmer pot recipe to scent my home this Fall, so it’s not completely useless.

Oh, and I did try to only steep this tea for a minute – because I’ll admit, I am terrible about oversteeping my teas, but it did nothing toward making this more palatable.

This stuff was pretty terrible, I couldn’t even finish it and the rest of the box went unused. I like a lot of Celestial Seasonings’ teas, but this one made my tastebuds recoil. Maybe something was wrong with it.

While I usually shy away from “flavored” teas, whether real or lab created flavor, this vanilla flavor is just delightful and not too overwhelming. The tea is also not too sweet by itself, which is a mistake some companies make in their blends. The chamomile is the star here, and as it’s a sleepy time tea, it’s perfect. A hot mug of this tea, with a drop of local honey, just before bed in either the winter or summer is a great way for me to wind down before bed.
