It was ok, not great for me. Had a very strong floral fruity smell. Really smelled like candy and sweet. It tastes much different then it smells though. Those elements are still there but very minor compared to the grassy flavor of the various green teas in it. I tried this on two different occasions and both times thought it was fine but not a winner for me. I used up my sample from TeaSparrow but I don’t think I’ll buy more it.

Eh, it was ok. Nothing in particular stood out. Wasn’t good, wasn’t bad. I finished the tea, even tried a second steeping. But it’s definitely not one I would buy. The strongest taste is the rooibos.

I liked it. I steep it closer to 4 minutes but that’s my personal preference. Nice black with dessert like flavor. I don’t usually like strong black tea so this was a pleasant surprise. Nice notes of rice and marshmallow but not overwhelming. I keep going back to this one.

I have not had much experience in jasmine green tea so take that into account. I did really enjoy this. It wasn’t a wow I love it but more of a this is good, hit my mood right, and was great sipping. I enjoyed the scent. I agree with another reviewer, 5 minutes seemed long. I did mine for closer to 4. I had a single bag for a sample, it’s one I plan to buy and add to my stash once I drink through a few more teas.

drank Pina Colada by Amitea

This was spectacular. It really hit me right. Caffeine free which I like because I can drink it any time without worrying about going to sleep. I had it hot, although I think it would make a great iced tea. Really reminds me of pina colada with the smell and taste. It’s a lighter taste. I prefer herbal and green teas so this is really nice. If you like a strong black tea this won’t be your taste. You can smell the coconut and taste it but the flavors come together well. This is a esty tea blender and is a wonderful source. Great customer service and great seller. I have had several of her teas and really enjoyed all of them.

This is awesome. Perfect balance of green and tropical. Tastes and smells great. One I will keep buying for sure. Keeps that green tea flavor I love but also brings out the tropical notes without overpowering the green. This is comfort tea for me and one I can always go back to.

drank Blueberry Rooibos by Rishi Tea

I liked this one hot but once it had cooled to room temp it wasn’t nearly as good. Definite blueberry taste and scent. One that I will drink for sure and probably replace when I run out of it. Fruity.

Flavors: Blueberry

drank Peach Tranquility by Teavana

This one is definitely a wonderful smelling tea. I just want to sit and hold the warm cup and breathe in the beautiful smell. To me it doesn’t taste as good as it smells but it’s still good. There’s more floral in there then I was expecting and less peach based on the scent. One that I will try again but there are other peach teas I like more like the Rishi one.

Prefer organic blends. Never been a fan of strong black tea but finding lighter black tea blends are good. Only started to drink tea in 2015 so I am trying to expand my tastes. I drink it straight, rarely adding anything at all.
