Got this as a sample with my recent online order. I like this tea. It reminds me a bit of berry infused lemonade. The berry flavor is the first thing I taste but the finish makes me think lemonade…tart yet juicy. I only got one sample so I can’t try it this time but I think this one would be great iced.

I want to like chocolate tea but watery tasting chocolate just doesn’t do it for me. I thought maybe the spicy aspect of this would make me feel better about it, and it does, but still, not really at the top of my list. In the future, I think if I want a hot chocolatey drink, I will just have hot chocolate. Marking this a 55 because it is better than other chocolate tea I have tried. Also, I think it’s my taste preference here, not the quality tea. I do think it could be spicier though.

Have tried this cold and hot and like it both ways equally. Nice smell. Taste is sweet but not overly so.

Nice fruit flavored tea. Good hot and holds its flavor well when iced.

I’m not usually a fan of minty tea but I rather like this one. The smell of it dry is quite overpowering but when it is steeped it is reasonable in smell and taste. I like that the taste is not super sweet. While this tea is marketed for colds, I tried it when I was feeling fine. I found this tea to be refreshing and even felt like it gave me a bit of an energy boost.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one. I have tried this both hot and cold and I would not say that one way is better than the other. Like the previous reviewer, I’ve found inconsistency in the taste within the same brewed cup. Some sips taste great and others, not so much. I find that some of the tea is very fine and so this tea has a lot of “stuff” floating in it. I am wondering if that is possibly the problem. This tea definitely has a nice peachy smell and generally, I’m ok with the taste but I might try a different brand of peach tea next time I’m wanting this flavor.

This tea smells like “Sweet Tart” candy. Currently enjoying it hot. Have not tried it cold. While I do like this tea, I can’t seem to pick out any one flavor in it. This tea tastes mildly sweet. While I smell a tart note, I’m not getting that in the taste. Update: Tried this cold, it was ok but seemed weaker than when I tried it hot. The sweetness is a little milder when cold. Reducing my rating. After drinking it a while, I find it to be “just ok”.

Tried the sample in store and I was in love. Made it for the first time myself today and it is even better in my own mug. I can see this becoming a huge favorite for me. I can see how this would be soothing for a sore throat but I the taste is so good I’ll be enjoying this one even when I’m feeling great! Interestingly the ingredient list on the bag does not include ginger but the sales pitch on the internet says it does include ginger. Hmm.

This tea smells strongly like strawberry but the strawberry taste is not overwhelming. This tea starts with a sweet berry flavor and ends with a slightly tart flavor. I might call it tangy. My first reaction to the “parfait” side of this tea is that yes, I taste a vague hint of something milky (this tea contains yogurt pieces) but this part of the flavor is not overly strong. I discovered later that this flavor sinks to the bottom so the farther I got into my tea the stronger this aspect of the taste was for me. I have tried this tea both hot and cold. I would not say that one is better than the other. I like this tea and will enjoy the amount I have purchased but I am not ready to race to the store to get more. Update: I’m almost out of this and despite my original notation of not being ready to race to get more, I believe I may be ready soon. LOL. Apparently this one has grown on me. Update 2: Yeah, I ordered more. This has become a staple for me. Increasing my rating accordingly.

I’ve tried this both cold and hot. Today I am drinking it hot and IMO it is better hot. When cold, I find the hibiscus and citrus smell and taste a bit overpowering whereas when hot it seems reasonable. I like that this is caffeine free. I wish they would not use artificial flavoring.
