New Tasting Notes

Steeped 7 minutes.

A blend of so many healthy, organic ingredients, the most pronounced flavor being the ginger root. The flavor was a bit less than I expected; I wanted a bit more. Truly does help cleanse!

This is a tea my mom got me a while ago that I haven’t tried yet. I brewed one bag in approximately one cup of boiling water (using a pre-warmed mug) for 5 minutes. The smell doesn’t seem too strong; it’s about a third as strong as I remember the loose-leaf chamomile I drink being. Now, I did have a hunk of cheddar cheese about half an hour ago, so this might be affecting my taste, but it seems quite weak in terms of flavor as well. It definitely is light and clean, but it comes quite close to “drinking hot water” territory. Perhaps the flavor will become stronger as the tea cools.
As of now, I neither like it nor dislike it.

This tea tastes exactly like you would expect. It’s like a nice nutmegy pumpkin pie. It’s also decaf, so it makes a good nighttime tea. I liked this so much that I gave some to my mom and sister as part of their Christmas presents.

According to the package, “A single cup of Tazo Calm has been known to have the same effect as sitting for 45 minutes in a mountain meadow on a sunny day with your shoes off.” If you ask me, it just tasted like spearmint. Three sips in, I poured this down the sink.

Lovely, strong, full-bodied.

This would be okay if you dumpd in several sugar cubes. There’s something abou Teavana’s herbal teas that leaves a lot to be desired… I find they’re almost always bitter (regardless of prep.)

This one of my favorite types of tea. It is so rice-y tasting that it will catch you off guard, but it’s SO DELICIOUS.

As with most bagged green tea, this leaves me unimpressed. However, I admit that this might be because I only drink this tea when I’m not at home (such as at work), meaning I have very little control over brewing temperature (it’s usually at boiling). It’s not a bad tea, however.

Fabulous tea. Strong scent, but flavor to me is gentle and smooth. Slight bitter aftertaste, definitely better not to let it cool too much though as mine tends to get an almost sour flavor when it does.

I absolutely love this blend. It’s fresh and smooth and I always keep it on hand.

It’s great in the summer, iced. The blueberry flavor is strong but not overwhelming.

Since I only make this on special occasions (such as when I have a green tea-drinking friend over) I don’t actually remember the details of this tea. Except that I liked it. ^^;

It smells really good. It’s just what you’d expect from a decent peach white tea – I prefer to drink it iced.

I love mixing this with both peppermint and chamomile. Soothing and refreshing.

As with most of my teas that aren’t in my “daily regimen”, I haven’t drunk this in a while, but I liked it enough to buy it after having a to-go cup of it.

This is my go-to tea anytime I’m feeling under the weather. It’s always refreshing, soothes the throat and stomach. I sometimes mix it with the spearmint and it’s even better.
