Water: I boiled 8oz water & let it cool slightly

Leaves: mini yellow-ish brown flower buds

Steep: 3 minutes

Aroma: floral

Color: pale yellow almost clear

Taste: I made this tea the same day as the blooming tea,I had no luck with this one either it was tasteless as well. Maybe I should have let it brew longer time I’m going to give it another go. I’ve been having difficulty writing reviews b/c I haven’t been getting much taste from my teas.

The idea behind this tea is to blend it with another tea to create your own unique flavour. I remember trying it by itself and it was a little toasty and floral but once I mixed it with some green tea it added to the flavour and was much nicer. If you have any left it may be worth a try. :)

TeaVivre

Yes, you can mix it with green tea, or white tea.

Water: I boiled 8oz water on the stove,then let cool for 4-5 minutes.

Leaves: Small tightly rolled circles

Steep: 1 minutes the first steep. 2 minutes the 2nd steep

Aroma: I love the scent of this tea powerful yet very pleasant jasmine aroma

Color: very pale almost clear

Taste: I deiced to give this tea a try at 4am I was still awake & wanted to try something new, so I thought why not make a cup or two of tea. As it brewed I enjoyed watching the tea circle unravel, this is my first pearl tea! When drinking it had a very light taste with the scent of jasmine the two combined made a nice match.

Water: 8oz Boiling,then let sit for 1 minute.

Leaves: Dry leaves-yellow/brown tone, medium length leaves & Wet- brown in color and slightly larger once steeped.

Steep: 3 minutes w/30 second rinse

Aroma: The scent reminded me of other black teas I’ve had in the past but lighter.

Color: Dark Golden yellow

Taste: In the beginning brewing this tea gave me a bit of trouble either I made it to light or too strong (which gave me a bitter taste). Now after many trials and errors I finally managed to get it almost right. I can say this tea would be good paired with a meal. I want to make this tea properly so I can get the full experience.

My 4th review!

Water: 8oz Boiling

Leaves: Dry leaves-Small circles & Wet-The leaves were huge,the biggest tea leaves I’ve seen so far with my brewing experience!

Steep: 3 minutes

Aroma: The scent was the strongest of any of the previous teas made,I was surprised. It took me quite some time to type the aroma,floral.

Color: deep pale yellow

Taste: I rinsed this tea first due to reading that it’s good to rinse Oolong teas first. I did so for 30 seconds then brewed regularly.The taste was light with floral accents despite it’s deep yellow appearance.

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec

Oolongs resteep several times and change some with each cup. By about the third cup the leaf fills the pot.

Testing out a new way of reviewing!

Water: I boiled 8oz water on the stove,then let cool for 4-5 minutes.

Leaves: A beautiful shade of light shade green.

Steep: 2 minutes the first steep. Even when steeping for 3 the flavor is great!

Aroma: I smiled when the scent hit my nose very pleasant,reminded me of Sencha.

Color: Pale yellow

Taste: I decided to make this tea because it was one I haven’t tried from my Teavivre samples. I was preparing to watch one of the Ted Talks. I took a sip this tea is light & very refreshing! It made watching the video that much more relaxing experience.

drank Blueberry Fruit Tea by Teavivre
128 tasting notes

This is my first tea from Teavivre that I decided to try. I must say I really enjoyed making it as well the rich red color and lovely aroma filled my kitchen. It was a bit tart tea but that didn’t bother me. I managed to get 6 cups 8oz cups of tea from the sample bag I ordered.I steeped the leaves over and it still maintained great flavor. Overall I really enjoyed it and would consider buying it again in the future.
