Harney had this as a sample for $3.75. After reading the description, I thought I’d give it a try, even though herbals and blacks are usually what I like.
I am giving this tea a high rating because, while it isn’t what I usually like, it seems to have all the attributes a tea of this kind should have (I did a little research). I can taste the grassy notes. Though there isn’t any real sweetness I can detect,it IS a flavorful and not at all bitter, blend. I wouldn’t call it robust but it certainly has body. This is by no means a weak tea. As it cools the flavors do come out more. I think this is something I would enjoy with a meal as opposed to my afternoon standard. A light touch of sweetener seems to mute the natural flavor. It is refreshing and I plan to try it iced soon. While I don’t taste the butter and coconut that could be because I have damaged those taste buds with years of flavored and very brisk black teas :) The best way I can describe the taste and smell is clean. Clean and like a bit of the outdoors.
It’s about an hour later and I just tried some still warm tea with a bit of real cream…wow! Really nice! Smooth with the flavor enhanced not muted. Also, I just figured out what I am tasting besides grass. It doesn’t make sense but I am getting artichokes!! Avery pleasant but very distinct after note that reminds me of artichokes. Maybe the addition of cream has something to do with it???

This was one of the limited choices when I attended a meeting last week. I tried steeping longer, added sweetener and half and half…nothing really brought out much flavor. Not a bad black tea if that’s what you want but for raspberry, not my choice at all.

Not as flavorful as Harneys but better than Tea Republic. I definitely tasted the raspberry both hot and cold ( added a bit of Splenda).

Would drink it again in a pinch for sure.

You know, I really liked this tea before I tried Harneys. Just showed me how limited my tea drink experience is. This is not a bad tea but I just didn’t find it as flavorful as Harneys.

So-so tea. I really like blackberry and this was the only brand I could find locally. Disappointed with the lack of flavor.

I love this tea! You open the container and wow, it smells like you just walked intro Sees! I was half tempted to save a sachet to use as potpourri! Ow can you stay stressed after a crazy day at work when you get a wiff of something this good?

As for the taste, I found it even more flavorful than Harney’s Chocolate tea. Very smooth and creamy wit an after thought of rose.

I used 2 sachets with 16 ounces of water, dividing it between a hot and an iced sample. Both were flavorful and satisfying. I added a dab of Splenda and cream but I don’t think either are essential (the flavor comes though without either but I was curious).

This tea has much more life than the Love Life blend by Harneys. Still a mild tea but I had no problem detecting floral flavor in this tea. I tried hot and cold, cold bringing out the most flavor.

This tea is Citrus with a capital “C”. The smell, the flavor, the color; all scream citrus. I tired the blood orange tea this morning and finished the pot (1.7 liters) before I got dressed. It was wonderful both hot and iced.
A touch of Splenda really brought out the orange, hibiscus and grapefruit notes. Though the goji berry is still my favorite, if you like fruity citrus flavors, this is a n excellent choice.

You have to really enjoy subtle to enjoy this tea. I tried to hot and iced. I used 2 of the sachets at 175 F for 3 minutes. Very nice light coconut fragrance. No bitterness to taste. I think the rice adds to the smoothness but the main flavor I tasted with the coconut.

When I iced it, it seemed like there was a hint of the vanilla but even with a touch of Splenda (added after I tried it without) the minor left in the dust (at least for me).

Not a bad green tea . Maybe I just got used to the more intense flavors of the herbal and black blends but this one seems just a little too mild for me.

This was an unexpected surprise! Very fragrant and bright tasting (I know Bright is not a flavor but bright is the way my mouth felt with all the wonderful berry flavor in it). I usually think of raspberry as my favorite berry flavor but this tea makes my raspberry pale in comparison.

I added just a hint of Splenda and wow! Vibrant, flavorful taste that had no bitterness at all.
