Not a bad jasmine green, but not my favorite. The jasmine in this just doesn’t pop enough for me, I like mine a lot stronger. That being said, I still tend to keep this on hand for guests who prefer green tea over black because even if you over steep it it doesn’t get as bitter as others I’ve had.

According to their website Rishi is now calling this Apple Ginseng. My whole purpose to ordering this was to find a new apple tea because my favorite has been discontinued. I was a little disappointed not to taste more apple in it. However this tea surprised me, it smelled so familiar as it was steeping. After looking at the ingredients I realized it is very similar to my favorite tea from Yogi, Egyptian Licorice. That makes this an instant winner with me because that has been a favorite of mine for years. The only reason this didn’t get a 100 is because i really was looking for more apple flavor.

This came free with my last order from Adagio. It took me a long time to try it because I’m not really a fan of Honeybush teas. This one surprised me, its a very sweet mild tea and it probably the first Honeybush that I’ve enjoyed.

A lot of our local coffee shops serve Rishi tea so when I was pregnant and [mostly] gave up coffee this was what I switched to. I love this, it has a very strong Jasmine flavor and smells wonderful. Just don’t do what I did today and get distracted talking to someone and leave the tea steeping for 15 minutes, you end up with a bitter mess that way. This is a tea that you really do need to pay close attention to both time and temperature when preparing it otherwise it tends to turn very bitter.

This is my first tea from Della Terra, but I was impressed. I opened this up and it just smelled delicious. I fixed it the first time around without sweetening it, but really I shouldn’t have done that, this tea just asks for sugar, especially if you have a sweet tooth like me. This isn’t one that I could see myself drinking every day, however when I’m craving something sweet this will really hit the spot. This tea also has the added bonus of making the whole house smell wonderful, so much so that my husband came and asked me what i was baking.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Can you tell I come from a family of Star Trek fans? We always had this on had growing up and I drank it every day through college. While it is no longer my favorite Earl Grey I do still keep some on hand for when I don’t feel like dragging out my tea pot or I toss some in my travel bag for when I just can’t get good tea where I’m at [most hotels serve truly appalling tea].

I discovered this tea, of all places, in an Asian market in Oklahoma City in 2009 or so. It seemed very out of place to me so of course I had to buy it and try it out. I’ve always like Twinings tea and I hadn’t seen this on the shelves back home. Since then it has become a staple in our pantry because it is just so good to drink when your sick. Peppermint is just so soothing when you have an upset stomach or sore throat and since it is bagged it is convenient when all you feel like doing is staying in bed.

This is the tea I grew up on and keep on hand for guests. It is one I find that most people like, it comes bagged so it is convenient, and I can pick it up on sale for $2/box. The price itself insured this is what I drank all though college. It is also the first tea I introduced to my husband when we got married so I could stop buying the cheap Lipton tea that I hate drinking.

I love this tea, it is one of my favorites and I was sad to see it discontinued. I like to drink it before bed every night, it’s a good way to wind down from a busy day, although I’m trying to ration my last two boxes and keep it for when I’m sick. Chamomile has always been a favorite of mine and the combination with the apple works well. I like the fact that it doesn’t include cinnamon in it [I’m allergic] and its hard to find a good apple tea without it.
