10 Tasting Notes
First tried this one warm and I have to say that it was a great experience- the mixing of the heat from the water and the cooling sensation that the eucalyptus left in my mouth was refreshing and comforting at the same time.
I’ve never actually made a successful iced tea, however, so it could just be my inexperience that makes me love it warm.
The citrus in this also served as a much more pleasant midwinter pick-me-up than a lemon tea. I found it cleared my head of my sniffles while tasting like a grown-up fruit punch.
Preparation
As soon as I smelled this tea I was sold. I definitely was not disappointed by the taste. I’m just beginning to get into green teas. I know it sounds silly but the leafy smell always got to me. This tea is a good starter because the pineapple mellows out the flavor of the tea leaves. It also sweetens it nicely. Overall, a great mildly sweet flavor.
Preparation
The chocolate in this tea tastes great! I expected the star anise to clash with the chocolate but it really doesn’t. The anise is very mild- don’t buy this tea if you’re looking for a spicy blend, but it makes a delicious choice for a unique chocolate tea.
Preparation
The spiciness of this tea really balances out the strong flavor of the cranberries. I’ve always loved the combination of star anise and in this tea it comes through once again.
This is bar none the best flavored green tea I’ve tried.
(Also very festive)
Preparation
I normally hate any kind of mint including candy canes but for some reason I adore this tea. At first I hated the smell because of the strong peppermint, but once I brewed a cup all I tasted was the blend of black tea with a hint of sweet mintyness which I liked, despite my misgivings about a mint tea.
Try it! Even if you don’t like mint.
