This tea is simply amazing, and might very well be one of my all-time 52tea favorites. It’s a perfect balance between the coconut and the tart cheesecake flavors. The honeybush base is perfect for this.

This is the last of the samples I received. I must say – I am impressed with these teas! All three have been so good!
I love pu-erh, but I’ve never tried flavored (or blended?) pu-erh before, so I am not sure I have anything to compare with. However, comparison or not, I am greatly enjoying this cup of tea. The orange is prominent, and in harmony with the chrysanthemum which is clearly present as well. The pu-erh base is lighter than I had expected, but that is a good thing, because the earthy pu erh flavor might have overwhelmed this wonderful orange. As it is, the puerh is subtle and pleasing.

I believe I am going to enjoy another couple of cups/infusions of this.

Wow! The smell was so good, I could have eaten the leaves with a spoon. Exactly cream and vanilla. The black base is gentle, and the vanilla really shines. This tea reminds me of these little vanilla creme pastries sold at a little bakery near my home. Delicious. Made it with soy milk and a touch of sweetener, second infusion with no additives – both were good.

This tea is amazing! It’s so chocolaty, it’s sweet and smooth. And its caffeine-free and has no sugar ! What more could I ask for? I love my flavored, sweet blacks, but I end up drinking a whole pot, and in the evening that is way too much caffeine. This tea is my solution.
It is great with and without milk.

This is quickly becoming my favorite evening tea. I’ve started to crave this almost every day lately. It’s sweet and dessert-like, but without the caffeine – so perfect for the evenings. The smell is chocolate, and that distinctively sweet honeybush smell. I add a touch of milk and it’s my perfect wind-down tea. Sadly, at this rate, the pouch seems so small. I’m going to need much more of this…

There is finally, FINALLY a tea store in my little country, that has many teas to try, is decently priced and that I don’t have to pay steep international shipping fees for. Happy Day! I have no experience with actual tea stores, I always purchased online. Being so close to so many different kinds of teas, to see and smell them all, it took all my self control to not purchase every single one of them. Alas, my wallet has it’s limits, and after I chose 5 or 6 (ok, ok, maybe 7) teas, it was screaming STOP THIS NOW!. Le Palais des Thes in Tel Aviv – I wish you a warm welcome, and I suspect I will be seeing you often :)

This is the first of the teas that I purchased. I am impressed.
It’s flavor has a presence, yet it is smooth and mellow. I had the first cup straight, and the second with a touch of milk. Both were very good, but I admit I am partial to black tea with milk.

This tea is like a sweet buttery pastry !! I don’t normally add sugar to my tea. Milk, yes, but I usually like my teas unsweetened. This tea, however, really comes to life with milk and sugar.

For the first infusion I steeped according to the suggestion on the package. 2-3 minutes, even though it seemed too much. It was over-steeped. Drinkable, but not spectacular. For the second infusion, I went according to my own instincts and steeped for just under one minute. Ahhh….now that’s much better. Now I can say I like this tea.

What a wonderful white tea. The melon is subtle, but present. The white base is delicious. I only had a sample, which lasted for 2 cups of this nice tea. I really wish I had more of this, as this is a tea I would like to get to know better.
