Mountain Rose Herbs

Just tried this tea today and it is excellent. It has a very nice aroma, smooth texture and delicate taste. Very good tea.

This tea is a life savior for me. Anytime I start to feel like I am coming down with a cold or start to feel a sore throat coming on, I grab my 21st Century tea by Mountain Rose Herbs and I’ll be fine by the next day. This tea works better for me than the Echinacea and Roots tea by the same vendor. 21st Century tea is a lot of nettle leaf, red clover blossoms and elderberries. I love this tea!

This is one of my favourite teas. I didn’t try it for a long time because I have never really liked Red Rooibos, but I’m so glad I finally did.

It is great on it’s own in the evening when I want to wind down from my day, and it’s really good as a base in herbal tea blends to keep them caffeine-free. It withstands over-steeping a lot better than regular tea leaves, so I like to use it in gingery decoctions that I drink all day at work.

Delicious golden tasting white tea.

Initially, I did not care for this tea, but it grew on me. When I first bought it there was an odd taste (seaweed like). Now it is the green tea that I compare all other green teas. It is a light body green tea. This tea also curves my appetite for a couple of hours. I have tried other store bought green teas and they have no effect on my appetite. This is the first green tea I have ever had that causes this reaction. Cheers.

A wonderful tea helpful with curbing my sweet tooth.

Light bodied. Nutty, warm ,smooth taste.

300th Tasting Note!
Sipdown!

I really enjoyed this tea and am a bit sad to see it go. I think this and rooibos chai are what I’ve been reaching for most often with this pregnancy. At the same time, since this is the only straight green rooibos I’ve tried, I’m looking forward to trying green rooibos from other companies. This tea is herbaceous, with a sweet fruitiness that I find really appealing. I’m not sure what fruit it reminds me of exactly. Maybe white grape juice, but not quite so sweet, and a hint of something tropical. I’m surprised that green rooibos isn’t used as a base for more fruity herbal teas, but it does seem to be steadily growing in popularity which pleases me. I would definitely be willing to buy more of this, but first I want to see how it compares to green rooibos from other companies.

I’ve tried a couple of flavored Green Rooibos teas, but this is my first time having it plain. I really enjoyed it. It has a mild herbaceous flavor and is faintly sweet. It tastes very summery to me. I will definitely be drinking this often in the future, especially since rooibos is recommended for pregnant women, and doesn’t aggravate my heartburn. I definitely prefer green rooibos to red rooibos. It has a very different flavor that I really enjoy.

I really like Honeybush Tea, and this is no exception. It’s a nice autumn tea, with it’s lovely dark amber color, and smooth, slightly sweet, woody taste. I have a fondness for flavored honeybush, but I think Mountain Rose may be my primary supplier for unflavored Honeybush in the future. It’s less expensive here than on many sites, the flavor is good, and it’s organic. Win-win.

I just got a new order in from Mountain Rose Herbs. I’ve been curious about Marshmallow Root ever since I heard that it can help with heartburn, so I ordered some this time. The liquor is nearly colorless, and it doesn’t seem to have a strong flavor. It’s faintly sweet, and has a tongue-tingling quality that I associate with mint or spicy foods. The texture is also a little thicker than water, which is interesting. Overall, this is probably best used for blending or if you want it specifically as a heartburn remedy. I’m not sure if it’s helping my heartburn yet or not.

delicious and great for my allergies.

A lovely tea expertly blended with beautiful ingredients. Tastes way better than my plain nettle tea, has a bit of a glutinous rice flavor to me. However I brewed for 15+ minutes and it was still quite subtle. Probably doesn’t stand up to many multiple brews. The rose really comes out especially when cooled.

This tea is not sweet or floral. It it definitely foresty. However, it does it’s job. I can be knocked out within 30 minutes of drinking this. The valerian also helps with anxiety, so if you need something to calm your mind so you can sleep, this is the tea for you. I drink it straight, but I add honey for my honey.

This tea is delicious served hot straight or cold with a little almond milk, and raw honey. It is definitely a spicy tea, but awesome for warm, summer evenings suprisingly. I have had regular chai tea, which was good, but I really am more of a roiboos fan. Plus I can have this tea anytime I want and not have to deny myself because its night time and i dont need caffeine. Chocked full of health benefits as well, might I add.

Not the biggest fan of this tea. While it has the potential for tasting great, it reminds me quite a bit of lipton black tea and seems to become bitter far too quickly. I haven’t brewed it to my satisfaction yet. I might need to mix it with a lighter black tea to get better results.

This is my first time brewing it, but it has a pleasant color somewhere between rooibos and hibiscus, I suppose. The smell is mildly sweet and almost citrusy, and the taste isn’t overbearing. It doesn’t have a bitter taste, which is probably due to its low tannin content. I think this tea has a more mellow flavor than rooibos, so I prefer it.

A few interesting facts; honeybush gets its name from its flowers, because they smell like honey. The plant itself happens to be part of the legume family, so this tea produces isoflavones, a type of antioxidant not found in other teas.

This tea was awesome. The perfect amount of jasmine and green tea in one sip. It seems to be able to tolerate a little higher of a temp than most green teas as it wasn’t bitter when I steeped it on a higher temp the second time I made this tead, however, I would still steep on a lower temp overall. It has a hint of honey to it too. Definitely a new tea staple.

By itself, this makes a caramel-honey tea that is quite sweet. I don’t like it alone, as it is a little too sweet for me, and has a slightly odd aftertaste, but it is good in quite a few blends.

I use this mostly for blending. It tastes like vanilla and earth. I was a bit disappointed with the earthiness at first, but I’m starting to like it in some blends now. I usually use about a teaspoon/cup.

I was surprised by the pale orange color of this powder. It smelled herbaceous and fruity.
I brewed it for at least 10 minutes in 4 oz of boiling water, then added 4 oz of cold water (This is what I usually do in the summer). The liquid had a mild fruity scent with a hint of oatmeal, and was a pale golden color (I think, this mug is green). I really enjoy the flavor, which is citrusy and faintly herbaceous, with a touch of oatmeal. I can see why this fruit is used in so many herbal blends

I tried plucking the petals out, and brewing them alone, and that definitely changed the flavor, but not how I would have expected. The grassy notes completely overwhelmed the pleasant floral taste from the other day, and the tea was extremely bitter. I’m assuming this is in fact because I plucked out the petals, and not because I brewed it a shorter length of time (the other day it ended up steeping for a couple of hours while I took a nap). I do not recommend separating the flowers when brewing this.
