Ssangkye Tea

This is a light Jasmine tea; perhaps because it of the white tea leaves. Although I can’t taste the tea as much, I do detect some bitterness / astringency. Not as crisp and smooth as other Jasmine teas I’ve had but it is an okay tea.

Tart and a bit sour. Overall, this is a flavorful but boring tea. I can’t really taste the Black Tea at all, and the raspberry and hibiscus are lost somewhere in the tartness.

Overall, a mild tea. This has a subtle blueberry flavor that tempers the rooibos plant’s strong flavor.

It has a subtle earthy flavor similar to the Burdock tea I previously reviewed; but not as intense. These medicinal / health teas are okay but definitely not delicious.

Reminds me of the red and white candy. Cool and minty as the box claims; the sensation lingers on the palate for awhile. It is not overpowering but refreshing – I think this is a pretty good peppermint tea, even though I don’t usually drink mint teas.

This is a bit smoother than other plain rooibos teas I’ve had. It still has that herbal flavor but it is subdued in this tea. I still prefer blends but if you like it plain, I think this is worth a try.

A light, crisp green tea. Directions recommend 2 minutes steep time, so this may be the reason for the mild flavor. This might be great for people that want a milder green tea.

This tastes very floral as is typical of Chrysanthemum teas. Less intense and smoother than other Chrysanthemum teas so I’ve had in Korea so I think its possibly higher quality petals.

If you are drinking this for health reasons, I’d recommend trying this one as it does taste a bit better than other ones I’ve had.

This has a very strong earthy smell; reminds me of when it is raining in a forest but more intense. This carries over after steeping – has an earthy root flavor. It is being promoted as a health tea and it tastes like it. I am sure some people would enjoy the taste, but not quite what I would consider a refreshing drink. Taste wise, I would not recommend it.
