Tetley

This is one of my grandmother’s favourite teas and I drink it whenever I am at her house. It is a bit weak, but it tastes like a pretty standard green tea.

These are super handy when I do hiking or on trips. I like to but them with ice and very cold water. They are quite sweet due to the amount of sugar in them, more like juice than tea. The flavour is very nice though. Sweet, flavourful, fruity, and the green tea is not bitter.

This is a pretty standard peppermint. It resteeps a few times and is also good with milk.

Ehh, it was interesting to try, but I wouldn’t buy it again. It has an oily taste to it and tastes a lot like stomach acid to me.

Very cinnamon-y. It makes you feel warm inside on a cold day! It can get a bit spicy if oversteeped and the cinnamon gets sickly sweet, make sure you take the tag bag out after a few minutes instead of leaving it in like I have done a few times.

This tea actually tastes a lot like a bellini! You can taste mango and peach which gives it a bit of sweetness, but there is also an acidic hibiscus or rose hip flavour. When steeps it is tangy like a fruit juice, but not sour or bitter. It is AMAZING iced. I like to steep it then freeze it in an ice cube tray. You can put the ice cubes in a strong blender and make a slushy on a hot day.

I find this orange pekoe bitter and overly tannic. The colour is a strong orange and there is a slightly malty flavour and smell to the tea. It isn’t a terrible tea, but I do prefer other brands of orange pekoe.

A very tasty chamomile. Nice and strong lemony, floral flavour. The tea bags smell sweet like dry straw and when steeping the tisane you can smell the chamomile.

You can really taste all the herbs in this blend, it did not have that overpowering menthol flavour that minty teas often have. I like this tea when I am sick or right before bed.

I’m getting close to a sipdown here. This tea is quite old (several years now) and I’m trying to drink it up. The base here is a malty English breakfast that is typical for Earl Greys. It is a good cup on its own, but is even better with vanilla soy milk. It makes one of the best lattes. For a bagged tea, this is an excellent cup and is reliable enough that you have some flexibility in brewing times before it gets tannic.

This makes an excellent chilled tea latte!

Smells delicious and tastes even better. I use this when I make London fogs because the vanilla and bergamot is so nice together. The vanilla lends a certain sweet and creamy flavour to it, which I love.

A very soothing tea! The vanilla aroma is nicely paired with the taste of rooibos. I added a splash of milk because I felt it would complete the dynamic of the taste. I feel that if Tetley released the loose leaf equivalent it would be getting gold stars and my rating would be higher. Still a very nice tea for the value!

Your standard, inexpensive cup of black tea. I usually have this on hand because it’s affordable and predictable. Nothing that amazes but its good in that you know what to expect.

This was actually a pretty decent cold brew. It was mildly pink but the hibiscus was fairly tame. The peach isn’t as strong as I was hoping but the orange is quite refreshing. I didn’t find that the licorice got out of hand either, it was fairly tame.
I would likely buy this again for cold brews this summer.

I bought this to make as a cold brew and didn’t have too high of expectations. It is more of a citrus tea than pina colada. I’m not getting any coconut here and the licorice gives it kind of a weird sweetness. It’s just ok. I’m not sure yet if I would purchase it again or not.

Had this tea at work yesterday. Needed more caffeine and this was the only green tea that appealed to me. I made this tea roughly by mixing cold water with boiled water and steeped for a very short time by bobbing the tea bag up and down til it changed to a dark enough colour.

Can’t say I cared for this tea. I got a bitter taste in spite of being careful about my steeping time. It wasn’t even the same bitter taste I get from burned green tea though-it seemed like it was from the chamomile? Weird. Either way, I found it strange that a company would mix green tea (something that helps wake one up in the morning) with chamomile (a night time tea to help go to sleep). Definitely was not for me.

After only steeping for 3 minutes it was already too bitter for my liking.

This tea just arrived at my grocery store. I was out of my loose leaf morning tea and need a temporary replacement. I didn’t expect to really like this tea since I don’t like fruity hot teas. I was pleasantly suprised, it’s certainly got a slightly bitter taste from the berry but it was not too sour and was quite smooth.

As a beginning tea drinker, I found this gem in Canada while on holiday. The name “cleanse” dosn’t describe this tea very well. The flavor name though… “lemon balm & honey” was spot on. Not too sweet but definitely can taste the honey mixed with the slight lemon flavor.

This tastes alright but it is a bit weak. I made 500ml of tea with 1 bag which works great with Red Rose brand orange pekoe tea but it was a bit weak so next time I will use 2 bags or make less tea.
