A very nice tea overall, with subtler fruit flavors than most, but it’s particularly bitter—I wonder if it’s the cranberries. It was too much for me without milk, but with milk I enjoyed it a lot.

This is one of my favorite Lupicia teas, but it’s not going to be for everyone; the grapefruit flavor is very strong and very sour. I find it refreshing, though—good for making iced tea out of.

I bought this after receiving a sample of it that I enjoyed. It’s a nice light, summery white tea; the peach/apricot flavor is strong but not overpowering, offsetting the slight bitterness of the tea without masking it entirely. It’s great iced as well.

This tea is very floral; I enjoy it pretty well, but the rose and cherry combination apparently makes my SO think of soap too much. I think enjoyment of this tea is going to be heavily dependent on how much you can tolerate the perfume-y notes.

Bought this after receiving a sample. The lemongrass and coconut really make this unique from other chais. It’s not quite like the Thai tea you get in restaurants (it’s a little too lemongrass-y and coconutty for that), but it’s very enjoyable if you like that sweet/spicy combination. Definitely a tea that I’ll be keeping in my collection.

Starry night is a favorite of mine. The coconut is the dominant flavor and gives it a slight sweetness, and the almond contrasts nicely. It doesn’t need sugar, but isn’t too desserty.
