I opened that package and a wonderful, wonderful fruity smell came out. This is the best fruity or flavored tea I’ve had in a while. I’ve never had a guayusa tea before, so I was excited to try this one. Ah! It’s so good. The smell after steeping is exactly the same as the dry leaf. And the taste? The taste is incredible. It’s all apples and strawberries until the cup ends. If you like fruit, you have to try this.

Eugh. I have got to stay away from the hibiscus. This would have been fine without the hibiscus. It’s far too astringent with it. The rest of it could be good if it weren’t masking everything else.

Got this in the library today. It wasn’t too bad. It was a little like the loose leaf tea I had had earlier in the day, but with more ginger. It was kind of nice in that respect, but I couldn’t really taste too much of the tea, or the lemon. It would have added a lot more depth to the tea if those flavors were present, but it wasn’t the worst thing I could have had at the time.

I opened the package and was hit by a powerful ginger and lemon smell. Luckily, this extreme aroma does not transfer itself into the tea. There’s a nice amount of ginger in the brew, with some undertones of lemon. The darjeeling provides a wonderful base here.

This is seriously fruity. It’s so delicious and fragrant, I don’t even know where to start. The mixture of red in the leaves is really nice too. You won’t be sorry that you tried this tea.

This is so delicious! The vanilla is really easy to smell in the dry leaf, so it’s not surprising that it would be detectable in the brew. There’s a small bit of almonds in the tea, but not nearly as much as vanilla. The natural sweetness in the rooibos and the vanilla just play off each other here; it’s really delicious.

I have to say; I’m a sucker for chamomile. Especially in some sort of herbal blend. This was really nice. I could taste every element of the blend. Chamomile is usually sweet, so it set a good foundation for the rest of the blend to play off of. It was really nice.

Can’t say it was very great. I don’t like breakfast teas anyway. There was little to no flavor. I’d like to know what sorts of black tea they put into it.

This tea is so light and delicate. I’m not getting very much fruit flavor from it; I suspect I haven’t quite brewed it the right way. But regardless, it’s delicate and delicious and isn’t bitter in any way. I wonder if steeping it again will help at all.

From reading the description, I’m not sure you’d get much of a fruit flavor from this tea. But it’s definitely going on the shopping list! What a uniquely grown tea; I can just see the mist covered mountaintop blooming with fields of tea…
