Additional notes: This one is ancient and it still tastes delicious. The flavor never diminishes and the flavor is just so good. Upping the rating (from 88). It’s also mixed with the Teavana blend, since it’s the same (and about the only thing Teavana ever did right was carry this tea)… but I wasn’t planning on swapping it or anything, since it’s so old, so I thought I’d mix them together anyway in a better package.

ETA: Could have fooled me, but in the comments ATR says the two blends are not the same.

Happy New Year’s everyone! …. in three minutes!

This was one of my favorite Teavana teas too! I was super excited to find that ATR has it!

Thanks for the nice review…just to clarify this is not the exact same tea as Teavana – ours is Organic – although many people think they taste similar.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
