Celestial Seasonings

I’ve never met a rooibos that I didn’t like. Rooibos paired with vanilla in this one is just delicious, it has a sweet creamy taste that I can totally see replacing desserts :D

And another one that I don’t have in my cupboard and haven’t logged yet. Three teabags left in the box now. I brought this one because my husband loves lemon. It’s soothing with honey to balance the tart lemon.

I had it that was last night because my throat was feeling dry. And drank nearly the whole cup quite quickly.

So many swaps to work on! Yay! Can’t wait share the tea love. :)

Just like Sleepytime but a little more mellow. Nothing special but I do love my cup of “something with chamomile before bed”.

The first thing that I notice was the lovely blue color that it steeped to. The taste was not that lovely. It was just too much blueberry with a slight sour taste. Maybe it would be good if mixed with black tea but not by its self.

Smells like lemon cleaner, yuck. Added honey and… Bleck. Tastes too artificial and the Ginsing/honey flavors aren’t very prominent. Maybe I did something wrong? Just doesn’t taste good.

If you like cinnamon, you will probably love this. I am a fan of cinnamon myself though the taste is too overpowering. Actually the whole taste is overpowering even if I had milk to it.

I’m sorry this review isn’t more detailed, but I have to say:

When sweetened with honey (the way I take most of my tea) this smells and tastes of olives.

Not an unpleasant flavor, but not one I want in my tea. It’s also too weak for my tastes.

Not tea. Not coffee. Not chocolate. Not bad!

This is very weird stuff, but I like it — maybe more than I expected to. It’s also kind of a historical research project for me, as something similar to this blend was apparently used in the American South when real coffee wasn’t available because of the blockade during the Civil War. Roasted grains + chicory was a common coffee substitute.

It looks like coffee. The half-and-half sank into it the same way it sinks into coffee. It definitely doesn’t taste like coffee. I get the carob a bit. Can’t find the star anise or allspice or even the cinnamon. I was thinking the cinnamon would be quite strong.

Far out.

Ah, this is my childhood tea. My Mom and Nana used to brew it for me when I was little to get me to fall asleep. It worked. I liked it with milk and sugar. But now that I am older I like lemon and honey. Don’t put me to sleep anymore, but it’s a great relaxer!

It’s somehow bitter when brewed for more than 4 min. I think i will try it chilled and should be quite refreshing.

A bit artificial-tasting, yet, refreshing. I like the ginseng-green tea mix and the fresh scent of the lemon zest makes this tea attractive. It still has an artificial taste “somewhere”.

Very refreshing and tangy. Feels good to the stomach: it isn’t very sour.

Sweet and tangy!
