I bought this tea while in Paris (my favorite tea shop is Dammann Freres) because the smell was so wonderful. If you love clove and cardamom, this chai is for you! Whole cardamom pods are in the mix!

I’ve tried a lot of teas for doing the Fridge Brew for iced tea, and this is one of the best!

This is now my morning staple, since it is heavenly with milk and sugar. It consists of good quality black tea and coconut pieces (shreds). It’s rare to find flavored teas that are organic — another plus!

Horrible taste – artificially sweetened with stevia, and it doesn’t even taste like berry. I threw it out!

Really nice, subtle tea. I don’t taste much almondiness, but to me, that’s a bonus. Just a mellow sweetness on top of the black tea base.

I discovered this tea after falling in love with this company’s White Tea with Apricot and Elderflower. I still rate that one higher than this, but I’ve discovered that elderflower is a nice, mellow flavor. Being a Yank, I had never tasted it until getting this British tea.

I am a big Yunnan fan, and this one is quite nice. Not the best I’ve ever had, but very good.

Full disclosure: I don’t like the taste of rooibos. And even though this tea contains no rooibos, to me it tasted as though rooibos was the base. Therefore, I did not care for it at all. I’m not saying it’s a bad tea, just giving a warning to the other rooibos-haters out there.

While at the Dammann Freres store in Paris picking up my favorite of theirs (the 4 Fruits Rouges), I bought some of this to try, and it’s another winner! The berry tastes are fairly subtle, but you get actual berries along with the leaves. Since I got mine in bulk, it came with no ingredient list, so I didn’t know the base was sencha. It’s not at all vegetal and I thought it was more of an oolong-y taste.
