I have to say it: I love this tea (especially iced). I am a fan of peach teas in general (…and especially iced), though, so I might be biased.

Smells very peachy, and tastes peachy too, but with a floral taste as well. Neither element is too brash. Overall, this tea reminds me of the faint peachy taste of edible day lilies.

Liking this tea might be genetic…my dad loves it, too!

A standby in my house growing up. However, it’s not quite up to my current tastes. The thing that disappoints me most about it is that it’s inconsistent! Might be just the box I have, but within the box it seems like each bag brews a different flavor even when brewed under identical conditions. Some of the brews were exceptionally bold (maybe too bold, but enjoyable). Some of them might as well be dishwater. It’s never bad-tasting, though, but jeez.

I was at my grandmother’s house and this was something she had. I enjoyed it! It definitely tasted like raspberry, and a bit zing-ey. Not absolutely delicious, but very good. I did add a bit of honey to it.

My 4yo didn’t like it. Little too spicy for her. I find it a little too heavy on the cinnamon ( steeped 5min). But overall pleasant aroma. Def a winter night drink. May consider spiking one evening like a previous reviewer. Sounds delish!

First of all let me say if it werent fir the charming box art i may have never purchssed this. it caught My daughters eye while shopping and she just had to have it along with the Sugar Plum (both limited edition and quantities). My 4yo loves this tea! I think I have a tea drinker! We add a dash of vanilla almond milk or Rice dream and it’s gone in 60 seconds! I just love the smell of warm sugar cookies. This first box was gone in under a week. I went out in search of more before the “season” was gone. Jackpot! I gathered up 5 boxes @1.75 each! @ Drug Emporium/VitaminsPlus bay am I glad I did. Just what we need to calm down at night. We steep it with a bag of Vanilla chamomille on occasion.

Preparation

There’s a bit more fruit flavor to this tea than Raspberry Gardens, which I enjoy and appreciate. A bit of a bitter aftertaste, though.

Based on past reviews, it would seem that the flavor has changed. In more recently packaged boxes of this tea, the raspberry flavor is light, but not quite light enough to be missed entirely. Quite a treat.

A very pleasant blend of cranberry and apple, though it is a bit too tart if left to steep for more than 2 1/2 minutes. I enjoy every cup.

I can’t taste too much of the vanilla in this tea, though it is quite calming. It has a very distinct spearmint smell and taste (unsurprising, considering the ingredients). Would purchase again.

My current favorite! It has a very pleasant smell that serves as an aromatic, as it fills the room quickly. It is a bit tart, which may not be appealing to some. All in all, the perfect blend of hibiscus and berries, in my opinion.

A very pleasant blend of cinnamon, vanilla, and cardamom. This will be quite a treat in Winter. Fair warning, the cinnamon can be overpowering if left to steep for too long.

I can certainly agree with the other reviewers who say that this tea is nearly a liquid version of Big Red gum. It tastes even worse when cold (or left to steep for too long), so drink it quickly!

Herbal tisane of the evening here, taking care of myself big time includes plenty of rest and relaxation!

You know, I think I like the regular Sleepytime better than this, the vanilla doesn’t do too much aside from providing this with a slightly strange aroma and off flavor. I have to say I am finding it kind of oooky.

Good night, all!

This is the other tea I’ve been drinking like crazy. It was very difficult to figure what to rate it because it’s not the most yummy tea, but it does seem to soothe me a heck of a lot. I also credit this tea with helping my lymphatic system get back to normal post-mono. And doing some reading on echinacea, I’ll need to take a break from this for all of next week and then resume for another 4 weeks (repeat sequence) to try and let my immune system start doing its own thing without the aid of this particular herb.

So, I highly recommend trying this tea if you’re feeling a bit under-the-weather. Be careful on the first steep, though, because it can be a very medicinal-tasting tea. I couldn’t tell you the temp (I’ve been heating water with my microwave: GASP), but I only let it steep 2 minutes tops for the first steep and then add a minute to each subsequent steep. I also use honey with it. Oh! And the third steep is usually the yummiest. NE

I have a box of this saved up for special occasions when it is really needed. Well today is definitely one of them. I’m supposed to be teaching knitting classes at Michael’s, but I just found out that there haven’t been sign up sheets out since June. :( I’m also supposed to be hearing back from another job to see if I got hired, but I’m guessing I haven’t since nobody has called me. I have basically no income right now. On top of it all I’m sick and only seem to get more sick as the days go by. I think a nice soothing cup of tea is exactly what I need.

As for the tea itself, I’m not sure what more I can say that hasn’t already been said by one of the other many tasting notes here. The flavors all work wonderfully together. I do wish the mint was a bit stronger, but I’m the kind of person who can never have too much mint in her tea. This tea seems to be doing wonders for my sore throat as well. I can’t wait to stock up again this winter!

Sorry about all the ick—healthwise and otherwise.
