Teavana

Very good everyday green tea

This is one of my favorite everyday green teas to drink.

I’m drinking this right now!

been drinking the yummy tea lately.

I liked it, very chocolaty aroma, not as much flavor came through as the aroma. Still a good strong morning tea. I think this would pair well with an Assam tea.

very tasty! the chocolate really comes through.

Drank a cup of this with ice today since it’s warm out. Really nice lightly floral tea. I like that it’s not so overwhelmingly floral as to be soaplike. Tempted to brew up a whole pitcher of it.

I really love this. Naturally sweet, a little grassy, and very smooth. Cooler water preferred (if the water is too hot this turns out bitter) and I find only 1-2 infusions is best. One of my favourites.

I agree that it’s not very delicate and tastes much more of a fruit blend than a clean, white tea. And the scent is really strong – very, very cherry.

Added some stevia to sweeten.

Added a little stevia for some extra sweet.

I really loved this tea when I tried it. It was subtle yet full of flavor. I found it to be a very calming tea.

I usually combine it with Teavana’s Samurai Chai Mate or their White Ayurvedic Chai. I always like to ad extra cloves, peppercorn cardamom & crystallized ginger.

Definitely not “delicate,” as it is described – way too fruity – the intense cherry/cranberry obliterates any of the delicious subtlety of the white tea base. It smelled so strongly that it reminded me of cherry cough syrup.

The cinnamon in this tea wakes you up! One of my favorite morning teas. This is what I use to persuade die hard coffee drinkers that tea can be just as energizing! Doesn’t even need anything added to it, the spices do everything for you.

A taste similar to Teavana’s Six Summits – that may be a distorted memory, because I haven’t had Six Summits in a very long time, and I had the Monkey Picked two or three months ago.

Not as good as I expected, honestly. Nothing near it.
Perhaps better quality than most oolongs in the Teavana selection, but that’s not a great feat.
Compared to the truly great oolongs I’ve tried (competition grade TKY, Black Dragon Pearl, Competition grade Alishan, several high-peak Taiwanese oolongs), Teavana’s Monkey Picked can’t hold a match. It just doesn’t have that much body; the taste dies too quickly. It didn’t quite produce the nuance I was looking for.
I’ve found more satisfying teas with less hype at Lupicia, as well as a few other more obscure tea shops.
I didn’t bother finishing the two ounces I bought.

As far as Moroccan Mint teas go, this is definitely not the best. Maybe it’s because because the mint and leaves have been mixed in together for a period of time, or just because Teavana tends to have low-quality, but it tasted a bit stale to me when I did a comparison to Moroccan Mint I blended myself with tea from other sources.
Your best bet is getting it somewhere else, or, at the very least, buying the two ingredients separately, whether from Teavana or elsewhere. An advantage to the latter option is that you have more control over the green to mint ratio.

Eh…
Wasn’t crazy about this one. Thought I would, but it was really not something I’d buy again.
It did have an interesting taste when iced – interesting, not quite astounding. I did prefer it iced to hot, though.

The aroma is divine and flavor very subtle. I can easily drink several cups of this. Perfect with a book.

Great calm-down tea. Or sick tea, becaue anything makes a nice sick tea..I think.. (Hot water+ variant herbs) + throat = instant healing? Looks good to me.

But back to the tea. Like most chais, I think this would be great with sweetener and maybe some milk (or vanilla soy milk for a real treat of treats). However, it’s great plain, which is how I am drinking it.

After sitting on my shelf for a long while I decided to try this again. I still can’t bring myself to drink a whole cup! It’s really tangy and I am not a fan of fruity tangy herbals. It’s so sour – I can’t help but make a face. Icky! I hate to be this blunt but this may be one of the worst I have ever tasted.

Smells like dried bing cherries. Color is s purplish red. Taste is too bitter fruity herbal for me for a hot UNtea. Might be a different story for a cold/iced beverage.
