A Strong Pu-erh, comes as an incredibly hard ball of tea. I was not able to cut it with scissors or a knife; ended up putting the whole ball into my cup, seems like overkill for a single cup. Generally a little harsher than usual for pu-erh, which before has always been a very smooth tea. Not a favorite pu-erh, but I can drink it.

Exactly what I expected from “Earl Grey and Orange Marmalade”… it’s OK, nothing to rave about. Just a unique combination I have never had before.

Very light, slightly grassy green tea flavor.
Surprisingly dark for a white Tea.
Steeped longer than I normally do, still not bitter at all.

Nice Malty, Earthy tones.
Medium-large leaf pieces, but not full-leaf. I can see the gold tips mixed in the blend.
Steeps to a medium amber tone.

One of the best decaf teas I’ve tried; it’s very true to the Chai flavor without that “off” decaf flavoring. A little cinnamony, cardomomy, nice.

A Very nice smooth Assam tea.
medium tannins, light copper color. Nice traditional black tea scent.
A great afternoon tea

Nice Herbal that is very peppermint-forward; I can’t say I taste the lemon hardly at all.
But smooth, a nice Peppermint tea.

A Bit stronger than I remember their “standard” Lapsang from several years back, but good.
medium-dark brew, slightly smoky /peaty smell. A bit lighter on the “tea” flavor.
I’ve had better, but its OK.

A Little tart, and I taste the hibiscus, strawberry, apple; a hint of tartness, smooth.

I was in Japan last year, and had several roasted rice-infused teas that were rather good.
I was looking for something back here in the states, and found this one.
It is very roasted-rice forward; smells and tastes a lot like the Sugar Smacks roasted rice cereal I ate as a kid, though obviously not sweet.
I can’t say I taste a lot of the tea flavor; this is also a “low-caffeine” tea, so good for afternoons or evenings if you’re sensitive to caffeine.
