I actually got this tea from Four Sister’s Soap and Tea Emporium in Richmond KY, but the ingredients seem similar on here. This tea is refreshing. It’s light. There’s not a strong cucumber taste as if I put cucumber in water. I normally don’t like white tea, but I like this one.

Slight minty flavor. Slightly sweet. Light. Fresh.

It’s light and has a very classic rooibos flavor. I get a light fruit flavor that’s not overpowering.

It has a sweet full flavor. I was pleased by the deep red color. I didn’t really get the cinnamon very strongly though.

For a Lipton tea, I am impressed. The flavor is spot on for a quick chai. It’s rather spicy on the first brew and then after a few brews it starts to get a metallic taste. That’s when I know to throw it out.

This was my first taste of rooibos, and I must say I fell in love. It’s rooty and mellow. I think this brand is just fine. And the tea is just fine to re-steep. Sometimes I mix it with some fruit tea that I have and it works just fine.

Earl Grey might be my favorite tea, but this brand is disappointing. It’s bitter, and I’ve never gotten bitterness from any other brand of Earl Grey. I keep it as a back up for when I don’t have any other Earl Grey around.

I like a good chamomile tea, but I’d never had one that is loose leaf. My younger brother, a tea guru as well, said that he usually got chamomile from a grocery store instead of loose leaf because it tastes the same. I would agree that the quality of the taste is pretty much equivalent to the Honey Chamomile I have in bags from Teatulia, but there’s something so pretty about the flowers floating freely in the water. The taste is smooth like chamomile, and I don’t really get any lavender taste or scent. All in all it’s a lovely chamomile tea with pretty blue bits in the mixture.

I steeped it in almost boiling water. The first cup I left in for a few minutes, but after that I just left the tea in the water until I was ready for the next cup. It’s the kind of tea that can’t really oversteep.
