This tea is supposedly green.

Yet, the leaves are black, and the infusion is amber.

It tastes very artificial. That’s about all I can say. Drinkable, but nothing that I’d love to have all the time.

As far as store brand teas go, this is pretty good.

My nose and taste buds tell me that this tea comes from the Yunnan region. The aroma and taste have that artificial feel to it; certainly, I don’t feel very tropical while drinking this. The color is a very light yellowish green.

It’s flavored with lemon and orange peels, as well as “flavoring and aroma”, whatever that is. I don’t quite detect those over a very flowery taste. Nevertheless, this tea is pretty good and I would drink it if I had nothing else to drink.

Good for two steeps – one for 3 minutes and the other for 1.

This tea will punch you in the face with its flavor, and it hurts.

Let it be known that this tea can be quite good if you enjoy a very creamy, full tea. There’s absolutely nothing subtle about it. I certainly detect the “cream” part of the name, but no dryness. It is very sweet, to the point where I couldn’t even finish my mug.

The aroma and taste are quite different, too. The former reminds me of lingonberry porridge, for whatever reason. The latter is like drinking a mixture of sugar and cream with a hint of vanilla. It’s very good if you like that sort of thing, but I prefer more subtle flavors in my tea.

This tea is probably an acquired taste.

It tastes very milky, in a way. I got the more fermented version, and can definitely taste that, too. Even through multiple infusions, the taste was far too overwhelming for me. It wasn’t so bad that I had to pour it down the drain; this tea does what it set out to do. I simply don’t like it too much.

This is the perfect solution for someone who doesn’t want to bother with tea pots. It holds 12 ounces of tea (or whatever other beverages you might put in it), and is all-in-all well-made.

The double-walled glass is incredibly nice to look at – it’s as though the tea is suspended in the air. Beautiful. It also doesn’t get too hot to hold, even if you pour boiling water into it. I personally dislike cup handles, so this is perfect for me. The double layer keeps your tea hot – or cold, if that’s your thing!

The plastic mesh filter it comes with is incredibly well-made. Quite easy to clean, too.

The plastic cover, too, is very nice. It keeps the tea hot. I had some recently brewed black tea in this thing, put the cover on it – an hour later, it was still nice and hot. As a plus, you can put the filter on top of it so that things don’t get messy.

It’s available in several colors. I myself got a white one.
