I received a packet of this tea as a sample with an order from Woodlandherbal.com. It lives up to its name: a pleasantly flavored relaxation tea that can be drunk whenever you need it. Or the mood strikes. This family of herbalists uses top ingredients; you can tell my the appearance, flavor, and aroma of the products. I have been a customer for about 2 years and have NEVER been disappointed.

Flavors: Chamomile, Floral, Herbaceous

Boiling 8 min or more 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Waaayyy too sweet for me! The “Caramel flavor” clubs you over the head. The ingredients as listed are: Green tea, toasted sesame seeds, caramel flavor. I don’t know what is in that caramel flavor but I wouldn’t be surprised if it is an artificial sweetener. It tastes like it. We are drinking it just because it is a green and we rocket through tea when fasting. Fasting sharpens your sense of taste and smell; I am at the end of a 72 hour fast and the sweetener taste in this tea is too much. Not buying again.

Flavors: Artificial, Bitter, Sweet

I received a sample with an order. It’s an average green tea, and I could not detect any citrus notes. I also couldn’t detect any benefit of the gingko on this very short run of use (takes longer, I’m certain). I guess it wasn’t the worst green tea I’ve had, but I wouldn’t choose it either.

Flavors: Dry Grass

Strongly unpleasant chicory flavor. I’m going to toss my remaining tea bags of this tea. Lingering nasty aftertaste. And, just what is “Natural Vanilla Flavor?” Is it just vanilla? What does “natural” mean? Nothing?

Flavors: Chicory, Dirt, Sour

I got a sampler envelope of this with my Rishi order. I like it, it’s a great everyday green tea. Grassy, vegetal, fairly mild in flavor. I would buy this on a future order.

I bought this tea awhile back and just finished it. It had very faint flavoring from the beginning, more of a plain green than a flavored green. It needs more ginger and some more mint.

Flavors: Green Wood

Twinings! How could you do this to an oolong? This is absolutely THE WORST oolong I have ever tasted. Overwhelming flavors of dirt.

Really disappointing. A chalky, earthy flavor that I really don’t like. I think this tea will be thrown away. : (

Solid, good Earl Grey. Nothing fancy but very dependable. I am always happy to see these at hotels that have a selection of tea bag teas.

Flavors: Bergamot, Tea
