Every time I make a cup of this tea, I fall in love just that little bit more. The aroma is just so uplifting. I’m not big on fruity teas (not counting citrus), so every cup is like a new little surprise. :)

It works well with a second steeping but doesn’t really hold up for a third.

So, opening the package, this tea has a wonderful aroma. That aroma is a bit muted once it starts brewing. In tasting the tea, I can tell that there is flavor there other than just black tea, but just barely. And its not enough to identify what that is. I tried steeping it for longer, but it just got bitter.

I don’t know, maybe my sensitivity to flavors has been demolished by my passion for spicy foods. :)

One I would be ok with drinking if its what was available, but not something I would pick first or go out of my way for.

A spicy aroma. The flavor is spice with a bit of depth. vanilla perhaps.
Its ok. Nothing special, but I will finish what I have.

I’m not a big fan of Earl Gray teas. The bergamont is usually way to strong and its not a flavor I particularly like (which is surprising since I adore citrus).

However, in Lady Gray this flavor is very slight and the lemon and orange stand out much more. Light, pleasant, and a bit up beat. Nice for a morning when you have not had enough sleep.

A nice basic black tea with enough cranberry to give it some flavor.

Yeah, its got some artificial flavors, and is a little sweeter to taste than I like, but its all cinnamon and its nice when I’m in the mood for it.

Note: This is a review of the loose leaf and not bagged.

The loose leaf does not contain cinnamon like the bagged variety does. This is a very noticeable difference which I did not realize until I took my first sip.

The bagged Orange Spice has been a staple of mine for over a decade. I was so excited when I realized it was available in loose leaf. I was very disappointed.

Light, fruity, sweet, with just a small hint of coconut.
A nice light tea that seems to want to demand being iced on a hot summer afternoon while relaxing in the shade.

This smells beautiful, looks beautiful, and even tastes beautiful.
So relaxing during a hectic day at work.

It has, however, one downside. The rose petals tend to like to glue themselves to the sides of my infuser, making it a pain to clean out. :)
