10 Tasting Notes

This tea CAN be perfect. I say this because the amount of time you steep is key. Don’t oversteep unless you want a trip to the spice rack in your mouth. Less is more as far as tea to use, as well. Go for the lowballing amount on the label. If brewed correctly, it’s one of my favorite cold weather teas.

This tea is more of a “sick tea”. It has lots of ginger, and soothes the throat.

Exchanged to get this after a nasty run-in with the Imperial Acai Blueberry. I think I needed more tea, or a longer steep, or less ice. The flavor isn’t very apparent, not the way it is in the store. Next time, I’ll cold steep in the fridge overnight, no ice needed.

This makes for a delicious iced tea. Hot as well. It’s almost a mix between an oolong and a green. Just the right hint of citrus. I’ll be getting more, since it’s fairly cheap as well.

On it’s own, I’ve found that this tea isn’t very remarkable. However, when mixed with Teavana’s Jasmine Oolong, it’s probably my current favorite. The subtle buttery smokey flavors complement the jasmine and the greens very well.

The spearmint is divine, and this tea is probably my favorite green from Teavana. Do NOT steep past the minute mark, or it will be so strong you won’t be able to drink it.

It tasted a lot like coffee, but also like thai iced tea. I made way too much and didn’t drink much of it either. Maybe less is more in this case, was mainly looking for something to keep me awake.

I think maybe I didn’t add enough sweetener for this tea. I had it over ice. However, when I tried some that was still warm in the pitcher, I could definitely taste it better. Good tea overall. Maybe my palette needs to adjust.

I made a hell of a lot of iced tea with these teabags. I don’t think I added enough sugar, cause it’s still very bitter. Maybe some of you might like bitter teas, but I prefer a sweet fruity tea if it’s advertised. It’s pretty strong, especially for teabags. I wouldn’t reccomend it cold, but hot, maybe.
