Three Wishes Tea

To me this smells like fuzzy peaches, the candy. I’m only seeing floral ingredients but I’m tasting a light fruity tea.

First, thank you Courtney for this sample!

It took me a long time to try this one. I’m usually not into flavored teas, and also green tea isn’t my favorite. But I’m in a strange mood. I’ve just finished drinking a cup of tea made from California’s favorite medicinal herb. Consumed this way, it has a mild relaxing effect. It’s so mild, really, that it could really just be the placebo effect.

Anyhow, the dry leaf smells just like those gummy peach Os to me. The brewed tea has that same aroma, but there is also the green tea coming through, and rose. Sadly, the first sip is extremely off-putting. It has a very artificial fruity peach/candied orange peel taste. As it cools, it becomes a little bit better, and I can taste the green and black tea more. The finish is like artificially flavored candy. I wouldn’t want to drink this again, but I’m glad to have tried it!

Well blast.

I took one sip of this and it just sucked. However, it is kind of my fault that it sucked, because I didn’t look at the directions before hand. I had assumed that it was a black tea, so boiling water on. And let it steep for to long. Total noob move there, lynxie. So will have to remember for next time.

I really, really, love this tea. To me, it tastes more like a green with some black tea accent… although judging by the description of it, I think its supposed to be opposite. Oh well, either way, I really like this one. It smells like a bag of gummies, but it tastes nice and crisp and clean!.. I love it :)

Sunday Sample sipdown! This one has been in my cupboard for a while and I finally finished it off. It’s best brewed for 3 minutes at a temp in between green and black, or else it gets bitter. I added some aguave, yum yum! Great iced and hot. Not sad to see it go but definitely a great flavored tea for people who don’t love flavored teas.

So, always a classic with me, I brought it along with me on my family vacation. It was a good companion whilst I was being a ski bum, hiding in the chalet and reading all day. what an awesome day: tea and reading, it`s love!

On the first sip I am getting a predominant full melon-like taste near the end of the sip and carrying into the aftertaste. Sweetness is sourced from this flavour and carries through the sip. No bitterness is detected

As the tea cools, I’m getting quite a nice floral bouquet taste on the sip. The bluntness of black tea taste is clearly present in the background but it feels separate from the other flavours.

Pretty tasty tea. The best part however was that it got rid of a headache and cleared up my sinuses. :D

This tea always smells amazing, all spicy and mysterious. I just wish that it delivered. I have tried different steep times, from my usual two minutes up to a very bitter base, but the flavouring just never steps up. The florals – which I don’t usually like – are almost non-existent. It wasn’t a bad cup, just . . . disappointing.

This tea is a bit underwhelming to me. The dry leaves smell absolutely amazing. It’s a great mix of fruity and floral. Every time I smell it dry I can’t help but think it belongs in a bottle. Something that would be sold in a little boutique perfume shop somewhere. But that’s where the amazing awesomeness ends.

I’ve only ever tried this one hot, perhaps it would made a better iced tea. Somehow the crazy mouth-watering smell just doesn’t make it into my finished cup. All I ever seem to end up with is a muddled cup of black tea with just enough floral flavor to throw the whole thing off. It seems very muted and deflated. It would make amazing potpurri, but as a tea…I just can’t quite get this one right.
