My husband said “it smells like stinky socks.” I tasted it; it tasted even worse. I threw out all of it. Never buying again. We regularly drink valerian, chamomile, and passion flower teas but this was AWFUL.

Nice mild, malty tea for when you don’t want something bold and astringent.

Very faint flavors of apple cider and cinnamon. I use two tea bags but the flavor just isn’t there. My husband thought we should use it, just pour 6 oz of water max. Going through teas I bought while I was working long hours and assessing what I should buy again.

Well-balanced, smooth Earl Grey with noticeable bergamot oil. Good mellow cup.

Very little flavor in this tea. I steeped to the required time and no flavor. I put in 2 sachets and steeped the required time, just the faintest flavor of cinnamon. Not like a good quality cinnamon spice but more like a very cheap candy. Could not taste vanilla at all. I threw it out; I hate to be wasteful but that was just a bad mistake. Republic of Tea has great label art and generally lousy tea.

Very thin flavor for being a “Double Dark Chocolate.” The last cup I had, I put 3 teabags in my cup and steeped fro the full seven minutes as recommended on the label. Still thin. Yes it has a cocoa flavor, it has a chocolate flavor, and as another reviewer said it also tastes like dirt (must’ve gone flying off of a horse or a motorcycle like I have to recognize that). Republic of Tea has amazing labels but the tea generally just isn’t as good as other brands.

Outstanding! I absolutely love this tea. Strong and forward flavor of bergamot that is still well-balanced within the tea. Everything I love about Earl Grey or Earl Grey Creme teas, but with a clean and not overly sharp edge. Definitely buying this again!

This is a smooth cup of black tea for morning. There are no harsh notes but it also does not have a lot of flavor. I would say it is moderate for most Assams I have had, and moderate for most black teas.
