I found this on the end of summer clearance shelf at the grocery store for $4.79. At that price I couldn’t resist the draw of watermelon even though I don’t usually buy bagged tea. I liked it, but it is a bit candyish and the melon has a strong after taste. If I saw it on sale I’d buy it again.

A pretty good iced tea with a bit of sweetener while it’s sweltering here. I haven’t tried it hot.
Also, I hate the slide scale rating. It doesn’t work on my tablet except generally. I can only poke at the line and rate whatever number it happens to land on.

Reasonably drinkable for puerh, only a little fishy. I’ve had some taste and smell so horribly of dirty fish that after a few sips I threw the whole container in the trash.

This is the first rose tea I’ve had and I’m not that familiar with white tea either. It was drinkable, but bland. Looking at the info here at the bottom of the page I see why. The instructions call for 1 tablespoon per cup! One tea bag to a cup is weak, nearly tasteless.

I don’t like chamomile, but drank this because it was in the variety pack and I wasn’t feeling well. The lemon myrtle makes it more palatable than straight chamomile. I finished the cup and won’t buy it again.

Wow, shockingly sour! I was expecting a little bit of bright citrus in the background, but this was like drinking lime juice. Every sip made my mouth flood with saliva. There is also a musty, mushroom-ness (dry desert) about it. Not terrible, but not what I want either.

I was worried this was going to be another mouth full of clove which seems to overwhelm a lot of chai, but it isn’t. The pepper, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom are strong and hold up under almond milk and sugar.

Even with 2 tsps the gingerbread flavor is barely noticeable, just tastes like rooibos. These holiday teas have been a big disappointment.

If steeped for a short time, you get a nice chocolaty cup of tea, but the longer it steeps more pu erh weirdness comes out, giving you a dank, musty taste. I usually steep tea for the longest recommended time for the type of leaf because I prefer strong tea, but I brew this one for only 4 minutes at most.
