This tea is a mystery to me. I don’t know where it was grown or what subtype it is. I know it’s imported from India, and I know it’s an unflavored black tea. I also know it’s pretty good. It’s very straightforward. It has a robust flavor without as much bitterness as most similarly strong black teas.

Overall a nice tea. It’s not outstanding in any particular way, but it takes a middle of the road path and does a decent job doing it. The peach and floral flavors come through without being overpowering.

drank Strawberry Green by T-Sips

A steaming hot mug of bitter water. There was strawberry in there? I sure couldn’t tell. There is also a very astringent mouthfeel. I never give up on a tea before I finish the first cup, or so I thought. I’ve been sitting here trying really hard to come up with any redeeming qualities, and I think I’ve found it: this tea is not poison.

Liquid Proust

I rarely brew fruity green teas hot and haven’t with this one. I have a gallon of this ice steeped in the fridge that I have been drinking for a few days. It’s a nice cool liquid with green tea with strawberry taste. I used a lot in a one gallon container for 9 hours in the fridge.

drank Oolong Blend by Dr. Stuart

This is a really nice light and sweet floral oolong. The flavors all come through and balance nicely. The fragrance is light and pleasant.

Glad you liked this, I haven’t tried it because floral isn’t my thing. Now I have to try it.

Intropy

I’m glad I liked it too. I didn’t expect to. I went in with a negative attitude because I get annoyed when anyone tries to paint teas as some sort of nebulous health amplifier/detoxifier/nonsense buzzword of the day (just the handwavy pseudoscience stuff mind you, I’m happy enough with the actual polyphenols and other genuinely proven benefits), and Sr. Stuart’s gave off that kind of vibe. But tasty tea is tasty tea however you dress it up.

The blend does not work well together. I can’t say what amounts of spice were used, but the anise comes through too strongly. The sweetness despite coming from sucrose, manages to taste like aspartame.

It has a pleasant grassy flavor that is overall mild and smooth. Unfortunately is also has a somewhat astringent aftertaste.

drank South Pacific by Capital Teas

Has a very nice fruity and floral smell, but ultimately it doesn’t have a whole lot of flavor. But if you’re up for something mild, it does a nice job. I like the second steeping better than the first.

The nutty flavors come through pretty strong, but they don’t combine very well with the tea., which is weakly flavored and gets a bit lost. There’s nothing really wrong with the tea, but there’s nothing particularly right either.

It’s very fragrant, but the raspberry flavor is actually quite muted. It goes well with a better than decent oolong for a pleasant drink.

Nice light crisp flavor. The flavor is straightforward without a lot of subtlety, but that flavor is pretty good.
