This is one of the most lovely teas to drink in the morning. It’s so light.

I’m not a huge fan of the Republic of Tea, but I appreciate this honest flavored tea

Delicious tea, but don’t steep it too long!

fully agree with the last two comments. Smooth and sweet.

One of my absolute favorites – the berry isn’t unpleasantly overpowering like it can be with other teas. Great for a good-morning black tea, and sweet enough without sugar or honey. Delicious. :)

i drink a lot of tea, but when it comes to dessert teas, this takes the cake! i add a spoonful of real maple syrup and top it off with light cream instead of milk and voila… a real treat!

Not bad for bagged green tea. I used it to make a southern style iced tea, which turned out pretty good. Of course, that may have had something to do with the mass quantities of sugar, but a win is a win!

Very good love it with milk and honey but needs to be simmered together. Don’t add the milk afterwards!

This has a nice sweet flavor to it. I may like it better iced.

Never noticed any effect on my skin. Simply enjoy it for the rooibos. It is heavy on tangy flavors (the pomegranate, orange and berry perhaps?)

I like the aroma a lot. The almond mixes interestingly well with the sweet vanilla smell…but at the end I can’t help but feel disappointed. There’s a little flavor from each of the elements in there; a little black tea, a little vanilla, a little almond – but nothing powerful enough to make a compelling mouthful. It just comes off as a little on the bland side. Maybe more tea, 2 bags instead of one? Maybe a longer steep time? I’m not sure, I’ll have to keep working with this one.

Why is it that the teas with the greatest scents always seem to disappoint? The last couple of teas I’ve tried have had great aroma but the tea itself was bland and unimpressive…

Did you try steeeping longer or tried two bags or asmaller mug? Just curious if it made a difference.

I feel the same about this tea. It smells amazing, but the flavors just don’t stand up to the aroma. I tried steeping mine longer, and also using more loose leaf tea, but in the end I was never really satisfied.

The leaves are ground very finely and the nose has almond and lots of vanilla, so much so that I can almost taste how sweet it is. Nice golden brown liquor (before a splash of milk). The tea however, is mostly dominated by almond flavor with just some sugary vanilla tones peeking their way into the sip. It comes on strong with the almond but finishes with the touch of vanilla. Probably could have steeped longer, it’s a little weak in the knees right now and could use more power behind it. Could also be because it comes in tea bags (unfortunately I didn’t realize this when i bought it). Maybe multiple tea bags in one cup would do the trick?

I need to find a better to-go tea. One that doesn’t have almonds.

Almond-flavored tea always sounds better than it tastes for me. This particular one isn’t bad, especially when paired with the vanilla Kashi cereal I had right before, but almond tea just ain’t my thang.

Not sure why I said it tasted like white last time. This is definitely green and has an earthy flavor. Nice, but basic. This is the last of my stash and I doubt I’ll be replacing it.

Steeped 2 minutes. Similar to a white tea in its light flavoring.

Good Green Tea. Still prefer the traditional Matcha. This particular tea is bagged, which is great for traveling.

Down to my second-to-last bag of this! I’m going to have to restock. My tea cabinet can’t be without this staple.
