Teavana

I tasted this a few weeks ago at a local Teavana shop, finally bought some.

Making my first pot now.

Mmmmm just what the doc ordered on this chilly , windy day. Usually I don’t do Teavana teas unless I’m at the mall and run into their shop. I couldn’t pass up this almond biscotti and I’m so glad – it is soooo good. Perfect for that mid morning slump I was falling into…

I got this as a gift and woah, what a tea! Divine with milk and sugar. I like having this as my first, leisurely cup of the day so I can enjoy the nuanced taste. Out of my price range but maybe I can convince someone to give it as a gift again. -_^

Another nice dessert tea! Sweet with hints of nuttiness and spiciness :) Great as a hot tea after a big meal

I’m not a huge lychee fan….not a huge fan of this tea either :/ I wish there were more actual Goji berries instead of mostly lychees. It should be called Go Go Lychee :B

This was a nice oolog. I prefer it hot with sweetener (I usually use Stevia to sweeten all my teas, but I occasionally use rock sugar). It makes a great after dinner/dessert tea because it has sweet and nutty undertones. It blends well with Hazelnut Dolce Rooibos (Teavana).

This was a very good white tea! It was nice both iced and hot. Great without sweetner, and I imiagine it would be good with sweetener as well. I prefer this to Silver Needle because it has the slightly fruity/peachy undertone as opposed to Silver Needle’s grassy/herbal undertone. Delicious!

i’m so dissapointed this was discontinued by teavana. such a staple. i have a giant tin. its sweet and a little bit apple-y

Put off by it at first but I gave it another chance. I like this tea way better hot.

No one ever likes this tea – but I love it. I guess I get it all to myself!

Good but not easy to get right. I tried filling about 1/2 inch of the infuser or cup with warm milk, then pouring the water over the leaves and letting it steep. Very nutty and has rasberry and cinnamon flavors.

Teavana is often a bit too bold with flavours, but a few of their staple teas really hit the mark. I steamed (okay, microwaved) half a mug of milk, and then steeped an extra-strong brew to add to the milk. The result was creamy and delicious!

You can never, EVER go wrong with this tea! Open you tin and inhale the deeply minty scent and it immediately opens your sinuses. Whenever I have an upset tummy, indigestion, headache or sore throat, I reach straight for this! Brewed hot, it warms you up but cools you down at the same time. Brewed then made iced (maybe with some Rooibos Tropica and Samurai Chai Mate—yum!), it’s an INSANELY refreshing summer drink! My all-time favorite tea! :]

Really really good this time. As long as I don’t overbrew it, it’s a great comma after a meal, rather than a full stop. Too bad it’s been discontinued.

I did this one wrong- it could have been so light and delicate if I’d only steeped it half as long. Steeping too long brings out the black tea too much and destroys the nut flavors and sweetness.

This has been my absolute favorite tea since I first had a cup of it. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you appreciate something different or something with a strong flavor, this tea is for you. Lapsang Souchong is quite an experience – first you’ll notice the smell, which is very smokey, thoughts of a campfire always spring to my mind. The taste combines the flavor of black tea with bacon or other smoked meats. Because of the connection with food, I tend to drink it with a baked snack or other food. I definitely wouldn’t add anything to this tea – drink it straight for the perfect flavor. So good!

For any other fans – have you tried any brand beside Teavana? I bought a large canister of it from there and have just about used it up – now I’m looking for another place buy from to compare. I have heard some places don’t use the authentic process of roasting though, I want to stay away from flavor-by-chemicals stuff.

I love the subtlety of the Jasmine and the Oolong flavor. It’s definitely a nice relaxing tea.

Someone accidentally mixed this with the Monkey Picked Oolong. It was pretty good. Took the fruitiness down a notch.

Loves it! It tastes like lemon bars :-)
