A little off the mark for me. It’s not terrible to the point where I won’t finish the box I bought, but it’s a little too “grassy”, and the mint and rose hip flavors might as well not be included for how little I could actually detect them. I think this tea has convinced me that lemongrass tea is good and green tea is good, but there’s no sense trying to mix them.
I love tea, period! I’m always open to trying new things and I have favorites among all different varieties, from blacks to herbals and everything in between.
Due to cost and ease-of-use considerations, I mostly drink bagged teas as opposed to loose leaf, and this will be reflected in the types of reviews posted here. If you’re interested in thoughts about which grocery store teas don’t suck then you’re in the right place.
My very favorite teas are black and oolong — black with sugar and no milk, oolong straight — and I also love green. After living in Japan for a while, though, the cheap stuff here just doesn’t compare to the cheap stuff there ;) I’m far enough south to have grown up with sweet tea in the house, too, so basically I have a wide appreciation for things that aren’t necessarily considered “good-quality” tea. I just go by what my tastebuds tell me!
