I have to admit; I really love this tea. Usually, I’m not a big fan of teabags, but I had some of this left from a present last year and decided to give it a go. It has a strong raspberry smell when the package is torn open; a promising sign. I used two teabags for my teapot, and it seemed to be able to infuse into 24 ounces of water pretty well. The smell when it brews is a bit straw-y and I could smell the raspberry over the white tea. I added a tiny bit of sugar, since white teas are light, and so they shouldn’t need very much. It enhanced the raspberry flavor in a nice way. I could still taste the white tea, but it took a back seat to the raspberry. I liked it, and it’s not bad if that’s what you’re looking for.

I needed chamomile today. It was very stressful and I had been on campus for 12+ hours. The boyfriend prepared my tea for me today. Very sweet of him. This chamomile seems to be a prototypical chamomile tea. Soothing and light. I do like to add a little sugar to sweeten it up and take the edge off any potential bitterness. There was some really nice maltiness on the finish. Mmm. Today was a good day for chamomile.

Well, my sister bought this one for me for Christmas, and I love a good chai, so I tried it. The smell is quite nice; the spices really come out while it’s brewing. On tasting it though, I was a little disappointed. The wonderful spices just sort of mellowed and disappeared inside of the black tea flavor. There are some hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, but not enough to redeem it. I wanted to like it more than I did.

On opening the package, I could smell the grassy elements in the tea for sure. I was a little wary about the grassiness, as rooibos, in my experience, tends to smell similar to this. I took my infuser out at about the five minute mark. I could taste the coffee, which was predominant, with undertones of chocolate. The finish was a little grassy though. Not sure if I’ll buy it though.

This is the most delicious oolong I’ve ever had. I was a bit nervous about the basil, but it was only present at the end, and even then, it wasn’t overpowering. The oolong definitely came through, and the lemon took a backseat to the wonderful flavor of the oolong. Some sugar really enhances the contrast between the lemon and the oolong. It’s a shame I wsa only given two ounces; it’s one of my favorite teas.

This is an interesting tea. Opening the package released a really unexpected nutty smell. On tasting it, I was mostly overwhelmed by the almond flavor. There was a little hint of the white tea, and I did get some licorice at the end. It was very nice. I added some sugar and I think that made it taste a bit weird. Next time, I’ll drink it without sugar and see how that goes. It was nice, but I probably wouldn’t buy it.

This tea is delicious. It has a really smooth, light flavor, despite the incredibly strong lemon aroma in the dry leaf nose. It has undertones of lemon on drinking, but it doesn’t overpower the oolong at all. It helped to add a little sugar, I think. It brought out the oolong a little bit more. I got this as a sample. I wish I had more.
