It tastes a lot like soap if you steep it the recommended time. If you steep it less than 2 minutes you can get a nicer tea with a moderate flavour, but it isn’t as strong as I would have liked.

Flavors: Coconut, Fruity, Soap

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 1 min, 45 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 300 ML

Not as tasty as I was hoping. You can slightly taste some fruity flavour, but the tea taste seemed off to me. It also over steeps easily.

Flavors: Fruity, Tannic

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 4 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 300 ML

While I really love the fruity apricot flavour, I find this tea to become bitter and tannic very quickly. You can only leave it steeping for two minutes at most.It is nice with milk in it, but is sweet enough you don’t need to add sweetener.

Flavors: Apricot, Fruity, Peach, Stonefruit, Tannic

Preparation
Boiling 1 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 300 ML

This blend is DELICIOUS! It is my favourite rooibos from Granville Island Tea Company. I can taste the orange and spices, even on the second and third cups. The orange flavour is a git different from normal orange. It is less bright and more like a dried citrus zest. I love orange flavour but avoid acidic teas, so this rooibos is perfect. It has the subtle sweetness that rooibos often has, which makes it great for iced tea.

Tastes a little bit artificial. I’m not a huge fan of the strawberry flavour they used, but I do like that it isn’t acidic or tart. That being said, the flavour was apparent (but not strong), even on the second and third steep. This tea tisane was pretty good with milk and with honey added.

Raspberry and vanilla flavours could be a bit stronger, but overall a very tasty and sweet tea. There is a creamy, dessert-like quality to this tea, which I very much enjoy.

This tea is very sweet and rooibos-y but there is not a lot of apple flavour or apple pie spices. It smells like sweet apple pie, but I wish the flavour was a bit stronger. The nice thing about this tea is you can keep the tea bag in and it never gets too strong or bitter.

Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Fruity, Rooibos, Spices, Sweet

Gets very tannic and bitter very fast. There is a definite fruity smell and flavour to the tea. I taste primarily apricot or peach and strong, bitter black tea.

You can really taste the cherries and nuts used in this tea. I don’t find it too acidic at all. It can be re-steeped several times. I love that you can leave your teabag in and it never gets too strong.

Flavors: Almond, Cherry, Coconut, Fruit Punch, Fruity, Marzipan, Nuts, Nutty, Roasted Nuts
