OH-MY-GOD…. I might need some good old fashioned smelling salts to get me up off the ground! I have been searching for a really good pear tea and Mighty Leaf’s Pear Caramel was divine but THIS tea (swooning…), well, as my little old Irish Catholic aunts who lived well into their 90’s would have said, “HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD!!!”

I say!

I just got an order of several tins from The Art of Tea and when I opened this one, well, it was undoubtedly the most incredible tea I have ever had the pleasure of burying my nose in. And it stayed in there awhile. And it didn’t want to come out.

Takogti has written about it so well and I’m shouting Hallelujah’s in agreement with her every word that I don’t need to go on and on here but I am going to order more immediately. I never want to be without this tea. I love Rooibos in a good flavored tea and have had many good ones but this tea is so over the top mere words (And I’m writing a book on tea so I have a lot of words to sling around and through the leaves and their various components…) simply cannot do this tea justice.

Oh, the agony of the leaves…. Oh, the piercing profundity of the empty cup. I think I’m going down in an old fashioned Victorian decline as the last of it is finished…

I’m not sure that I should even be writing this review. I’m not sure this is even LEGAL. Surely it’s an opiate of sorts and should be hidden. I for one am going to hide it in my house. I shan’t share this with a single soul!

Ssshhhhhh……

I’m not a big fan of this one…I was hoping I would be but it isn’t to my taste. It smells like fig newtons dry (I kinda like that) but after it’s brewed it tastes mostly of rooibos and something else fruity. It’s a little sweet. I’m glad I got to try it though:)

Art of Tea lists this as one of their most popular teas; I believe them. From the scent of the dry leaves to the taste of the brewed tea, this is absolutely, unambiguously, deliciously candied pear. I steeped 1.5 teaspoons in about 8 oz of boiling water for ten minutes, then added a bit of my favorite sweetener.

The resulting brew smells strongly of a ripe Bartlett pear (or even like the taste of a Juicy Pear jelly bean, or at least what I remember a Juicy Pear jelly bean tastes like), with perhaps a hint of tart apple lingering beneath. On sipping the tea, I first taste rich, golden caramel, then sweet juicy pear, and then the two mingle. I get no other notes, so this isn’t exactly the most complex tea around, but it’s seriously tasty to a pear-lover such as myself.

I got this tea in a sampler, but I will definitely by more when I run out.

Normally this type of tea isn’t my cup of tea, but I decided to try it simply because it sounded yummy and it tastes just like a caramelized pear, point blank! The pear is sweet and juicy tasting with a hint of tartness as it slides down the back of my tongue. Kudos to the Art of Tea for blending a great tea with great flavor and balance!

I taste a lot of pear, but I’d call it fresh and not cooked. I really only taste the rooibos base, pear flavoring, and a twang of something fake. I don’t see enough pear teas, so I’m having fun, but I don’t think I like it enough to keep any from the TTB. Unfortunately, the fake note lingers a bit.

Sipdown (804)!

Thank you for sharing Kittenna – this tea smelled incredible dry but also very familiar!? It wasn’t until steeping it up that I realized that sweet, dewy and overripe pear note tastes almost identical to my delectable and very overpriced pear rooibos blend from Las Vegas. I wonder if these two blends are using the same pear flavouring!? There was a slight difference; this is definitely a little sweeter and it does have a caramel note which is INSANELY divine. I could drink the shit out of this tea!!

I don’t think I’ve ever ordered from this company before, but if it’s cheaper than the fancy/expensive Vegas Tea then I think I’m sold as a customer!!

Art of Tea does a lot of wholesaling (despite being a commercial site that can be ordered from directly) — in fact, I usually have to search out their blends from other tea shops to get smaller packages because they only sell on their own site in 4oz packages, which is just too big for me. Are you sure it isn’t the same tea as the fancy/expensive Vegas store (cross-checked ingredients)? I wouldn’t be surprised at all if a place like that did some massive upmarking on wholesaled blends…

Omg. Just not my thing. I was so hopeful with the name alone. I tried it straight (my fave), then honey, then milk— nothing could improve this tea for me. Dividing what I have left to give to two tea loving friends to try. So glad I went with the sample size.

Wow. I think I forgot I had this. I found it in one of my tea drawers, one that doesn’t ordinarily house tisanes.

Have I tasted it before? I honestly don’t know.

I smell both caramel and pear in the tin. More pear than caramel, which is somewhat surprising. And also promising.

The aroma isn’t it’s strong point after steeping. It’s strong point, and it’s a very strong point, is it’s aftertaste. The sip is full of pear, with a hint of caramel. But the aftertaste sparkles! Little bursts of sweetness of both pear and caramel pop on the tongue, while the tea’s texture leaves a smooth, soft feeling in the mouth without feeling like a sugary coating.

I am not sure I’ve had a pear tisane before. If I did, I don’t remember. But any I have in the future would have to be stellar indeed to outrank this.

This is my favorite night time tisane. The pear flavor is nice and light and not artificial tasting. It’s very warming and sweet and smells like pear-heaven! I drink it without milk or sugar, and it does just fine.

WHERE IS THE CARAMEL!?!??!?!
I must be the only one because every tasting note on here mentions caramel and honey. I got this BECAUSE I expected caramel and honey. But No.
It just tastes like pear and apple.
Don’t mind pears. Used to eat them all the time growing up. Don’t have much flavor, and the texture is kinda weird, but they weren’t bad. And of course, I hated apples. xD
The mix of caramel and pear sounded amazing though.
The dry leaf smelled strongly of pears….stronger than real pears even taste. xD And while steeping, the woodiness came out.
Pear and apple were the only flavors I could taste in this tea. So disappointed by this one :/ Maybe I just got a crappy batch…I don’t know…

Flavors: Apple, Pear, Wood
