I have had a lot of bagged jasmine green tea. When I lived in a university residence, stash Jasmine green tea was my go-to! I also like the instant honey Jasmine tea from the grocery store; it makes an excellent iced tea!

This is my first time trying a simple, loose leaf jasmine green tea. When I smelled it, the jasmine scent was lighter than I liked, but pleasant. I steeped this with boiling water (I think I might need to stop doing this to my green tea leaves! But I like my drinks to be super warm). And let it sit for 4 minutes .

The cool thing about these tea leaves is when I re-steeped them, they still tasted great! So you can have 1-3 cups of it without it significantly subduing the flavour.

My only problem with this tea was that the Jasmine was a bit too light for my taste. I wanted it to be brighter, and a more prominant note. However, this is a good light jasmine. I am going to try cold steeping this and making an iced tea instead.

This is my second time trying genmaicha. My first time was Dessert by Deb’s Marshmallow Crispy Square which I did not like, mostly because of its strong coconut flavour. However, I was hopeful about this tea. It seemed like a simple enough blend – just premium Japanese tea leaves, matcha, leaf stems, and popped rice. It sounded delicious.

When I opened the bag, I noticed there was a lot of matcha (which I was happy about since I love matcha!). However, it also contained a good amount of popped rice and kabuse-cha (Japanese tea leaves).

I would recommend steeping this tea less. Maybe even just a minute. I find if I leave it for too long, then the flavour becomes too bitter, and takes away from the delicacy of the popped rice.

I am not sure how I feel about this blend? I might just not like genmaicha, and that is okay too. Matcha Genmaicha is great quality, but the flavour might just not be for me.

When I made this, I expected it to smell like popcorn, but it smelled like burnt rice as opposed to toasted rice. I am not sure if this is typical for genmaicha blends?

As far as taste goes, it tastes like bold green tea with a burnt rice aftertaste.

I think I need to keep trying genmaicha to confirm it is for me! However, next time, I think I will stick with buying a more traditional matcha blend.

When I read the description of this tea on the website, I knew I had to have it! This seemed like a tea I would love – a green tea base with a rose floral profile. I LOVE jasmine green tea, so I wanted to give this one a try.

Okay, so I need to start by describing the smell. It smells floooral, almost like a rose perfume. I know for some people this might be off-putting, but again, I love floral blends, so I was excited to try this tea.

When I steeped this hot, it tasted good. Like a sencha green tea with rose notes (so it lives up to its namesake).

However, when this is cold steeped with ice and a tiny bit of sugar, it is magic! I love floral ice teas, so I enjoyed drinking this one cold.

This would be an awesome tea for Spring or Summer.

I could see myself making a huge pitcher of this as an iced tea. It is a beautiful and strong floral tea that truly tastes like a green rose tea.

When I saw this online, it definitely got my interest. The ingredients list was very simple, and best of all, this was an herbal blend with no hibiscus! I do not mind hibiscus being in my tea, and I understand it gives tea a beautiful, vibrant colour. But often, it can be too tart for my liking.

I loved the smell of this tea! It reminded me of lemon grass! When steeped, I also thought it tasted okay. I think this is a tea I could see myself buying and mixing into other blends. On its own, its a bit weak, but I think paired with something else (like ginger, lemon grass etc.) it could be awesome!

Since the Tea Haus teas are so reasonably priced, I most likely will buy this agian just to do my own DIY blending.

I am so glad I ordered this! It honestly tastes just like its namesake! When I smelled it, I got notes of chocolate and a bold, spicy note. I really enjoyed this tea! It definitely is spicy, but I love it. The chocolate compliments the spice really well. I have only made this with milk! I think that is the best way to drink this tea.

I would highly recommend getting a 25 gram bag of this just to try it! :)

I am so glad you can order 25 gram samples at the Tea Haus. So even if I dislike a tea, I know I can finish it rather quickly and it will not go to waste. And then later on, I can order larger sizes of whatever tea I enjoyed! :) They also have such a kind staff!

This smells like red rooibos with a hint of caramel. You can see tiny caramel pieces in this tea. Although the caramel to rooibos ratio is off. I think it has far too much rooibos, just looking at it visually.

I’m not sure if I got a bad scoop of this (since sometimes heavier pieces like caramel can fall to the bottom). However, this tea had no caramel flavour at all. It tasted mostly like a good, red rooibos tea.

The rooibos base is excellent and refreshing. But I gave this a lower rating because it did not live up to its namesake of being a caramel tea.

To improve this tea I would add more caramel flavouring and larger caramel chunks. That would balance out the ratio between the red rooibos vs. caramel

I think if you enjoy red rooibos, you will like this tea. But I prefer rooibos to be a very mild flavour in tea blends.

I got this as a sample in my most recent order, and I really dislike it. I want to preface this by saying that I love sweet, dessert, and warming masala chai tea blends. I also enjoy bold flavours; however, this tea tasted strange and almost medicinal? It also had an unpleasant aroma. I do not see myself purchasing this again.

However, for me, although tea has health benefits, I mostly see it as a form of self-care. I love the process of making and smelling tea. And this tea was just not it for me.

The smell of this shocked me. I could not believe something with no added flavourings or ingredients could smell THIS good. It smells exactly like honey, vanilla, and caramel candies! The aroma of this is absolutely… intoxicating!

I always love brewing oolong tea. Watching the leaves expand is such a treat. It tastes wonderful as well! Like a refreshing and simple oolong. I will be needing this in my cabinet at all times. I think it is a worthy purchase, and although this is expensive, you can request a free sample from the Tea Haus with your purchase, or buy this in a 25 gram size.

Yummy! Like others have said, this tastes just like forever nuts from David’s Tea, but it is half the price. It smells exactly like an apple cinnamon pie. I like this better hot than cold. When I drink this hot, it tastes predominantly of almonds, cinnamon, beets, and apples. With the most predominant flavours being almonds (and beets, if I steep it for too long!). Overall, I will definitely be repurchasing this again.

I brewed this on the stove! I boiled water, added a few bags of orange pekoe, sprinkled in the chai spice, sugar, and added some milk. This is a lovely blend! I particularly enjoy drinking masala chai, so I was looking forward to this! This is not like typical chai blends that I have tried, where the cinnamon is the most prominent note. This was tastes like corriander, and feels very warm.
