19 Tasting Notes
Really interesting! It actually does taste like a creamsicle… or think McDonalds arctic orange shake… or liquid baby asprin. I like the flavor, it works well for me! I will be buying this again to have on hand when the mood strikes. I added about half a tsp. of rock sugar…. not sure if it was necessary. I don’t really taste anything else but the creamy orange, yet I’m satisfied with this as is and wouldn’t change it.
Flavors: Orange
Preparation
This tea is quite nice! It has a full body and I can taste the caramel, coconut and almonds distinctly – though almonds aren’t actually listed in the ingredient list and must be part of the “artificial flavoring”. Not sure I really taste the candied apple, but the tea certainly is red. I tend to like strong and sweet teas, so I used the full 2 tsp per 8oz. ( brewed as 4 tsp for 16 oz) and about 3/4 of a tsp. of rock sugar. Perfect! There was no bitterness or sourness, and the tea stands perfectly well on its own. I could see how it would nicely combine with a chocolate chai as well.
Flavors: Almond, Caramel, Coconut
Preparation
I like it, but I don’t love it. It is quite sweet (which I like) and orange (good). The spice is well in the background and, for me, it needs to be beefed up a bit. But, it wasn’t advertised as chai, so maybe this was intentional. I think next time I might blend with a chai. Still, overall I’d recommend it as a hot orange tea. I bet it would be a good tea for when you have a cold or the flu.
EDIT: I resteeped it with a tsp. of maharaja chai oolong tea (Teavana) and it helped a lot. Still, with so many teas out there, I don’t think this tea is one I will repurchase quickly.
Flavors: Orange
Preparation
This tea is “OMG” Amazing! Smooth chocolate caramel flavors. I don’t always feel that chocolate flavor comes out in teas, but this one really does. I add 1 tsp. rock sugar. On it’s own, it’s wonderful. Right now I’m sipping it blended with Toasted Nut Brulee, which adds even more richness.
I did try a resteeping of the tea (just cococaramel sea salt), and found that didn’t go well…. weak, but that is probably expected for an herbal tea.
Flavors: Caramel, Chocolate
Preparation
Very enjoyable tea for me, and I think it will be a favorite. It tasted as advertised to me, like chestnuts with a bit of cinnamon. I did not feel the cinnamon was overwhelming – just enough. Smooth taste. I tend to like my tea a bit sweet, so I added 1 tsp. of rock sugar. Thumbs up on this tea!
Preparation
Not for me. Tried it hot and didn’t like it. Tried it iced and it was even worse. Now trying to figure out what I can blend it with since I have 2 ounces of it to use up . I taste no peach flavor. There is some berry, but something else is overwhelming in it. I don’t know if that’s the jasmine or not as this is my first jasmine tea and also my first green tea.
Preparation
This tea is representative of one of my favorite combinations… orange and chocolate. It tastes fabulous! I made it as directed and added 1 tsp. rock sugar per 16 oz. cup of tea. I taste the orange first, and the chocolate as a wonderful after taste. The spice isn’t strong, but I do sense a kick attributable to spices. The store told me that they are discontinuing this tea, but it is still currently available online.
Flavors: Chocolate, Orange
