Rishi describes the flavor of this oolong “succulent” and I must agree. The plum flavor is so robust it’s juicy. The other ingredients add an exotic tart flavor. The oolong is very mellow. It brings joyousness and energy. “The stash” didn’t last long. This cup proved to me, a loose-leaf plum oolong is a welcome friend.
Ingredients: Organic oolong tea, Organic schizandra berries, Organic rosehips, Organic Fair Trade Certified™ hibiscus, natural plum flavor and Organic osthmanthus flowers.

A wonderful cup! The flavor of “the leaf” is robust and there is beautiful energy from the ginseng. The honey flavor mixes perfectly with “the leaf”. I drink this when there is super-hard work to be done, it makes the hours fly by.

A very fine cup. Spicy, sweet, and deep. Between medium and full-bodied. A wonderful wintertime herbal. My non-tea-drinking guests really like it. Very good cardamon.

At $10 for 50 tea bags, I thought this was tepid. There are 500 better green teas (out there) than this one. I drank all 50 bags and said “this is ok but not anything to holler about”. I give it a dismal low score because the flavor of “the leaf” did not impress me. Also, it doesn’t have the energy of a good green. At $10, you could buy 80 bags of a better (tea bag) green.

The idea of vanilla redbush is superb in the world of tea. This one is very poor for the price asked. I didn’t taste the redbush much and the vanilla seemed artificial. After 7 or 8 cups I concluded that it has a horrible aftertaste compared to a good cup of vanilla redbush. There are vastly superior vanilla redbush (in teabags) at half the price.

I’ve tasted many teas and this is one of my favorites. The medium bodied green tea is refreshing, wild, spicy, and exotic. Definitely a blend that transports you to Morocco. The spices are interesting because they are strong, but this cup is perfectly drinkable. The spices are sensational. Excellent on a summer night.

This is a nutty, cookie-like black tea. The flavor explodes on the tongue. Sweet and savory like a biscotti. Very very rich flavor. A great after-dinner tea but it calls to you throughout the day. Savory, sweet, and rich almond flavor.

This cup has a robust mango flavor and a beautiful body. Very very drinkable. 50 bags of this will be gone in a few days, in my house. Of course the loose-leaf version is even better. A very light black tea that calls to you at night and at breakfast. I love a tea that transports you to a happy sunny island, and does this ever. I always pay attention when my non-tea-drinking guests like a cup, and they like this one.

An intensely flavorful cup but unfortunately this isn’t often on store shelves. The plum flavor is robust and it works very well with “the leaf”. The cinnamon flavor is nicely subtle. Contains a light and mellow body much like a good Ceylon. My guests love Cinnamon Plum and “the stash” never lasts very long. A black tea suitable for anyone who likes plum, even if they’re not much of a tea drinker. Wonderful on a cold day in Fall.

I thought this was awful. The flavor is very bitter without much of “the leaf”. There are many British Breakfast blends far better than this one, at half the price asked.

I don’t add milk or sweetener to any teas, and sometimes English breakfast blends have a bitter aftertaste. This one has a remarkable sweet flavor. Very very malty yet mellow. I went through this very fast. The flavor makes this very worthy for the price asked.

This is a beautiful Irish breakfast at a remarkable price. The flavor of “the leaf” is robust, without any bitterness. Full bodied, very malty, and full of caffeine power. With a pot of this blend my work is hard and steadfast. A mixture of Assam black tea, Nilgiri black tea, and China Black tea.

“Haute” means “extremely good” in French and they picked a good word. The liquor is abundantly sweet when drunk neat. With milk and sugar, my guests looked at me like I served them a $12 sundae. This blend has a nice body, light but full. The flavor is chocolate first and spices next. I think it’s unique to chocolate, spice, and red teas. I went through this very fast. Great value for the price asked. Wonderful as a dessert or after-dinner tea but I found myself making it anytime.

Red Rooibos, ginger, cardamom, chicory, cinnamon sticks, black pepper, cardamom fruit, and cocoa kernels.

Teavana’s red peach has a very peach flavor, extremely peach. I said wow how did you capture so much flavor? When I drink fruit teas I expect a fruit bonanza, and this one delivers. The aroma of the ingredients is, in a word, intense. It even makes your nose tingle. Redbush is good anytime (even before bed) and this blend is rewarding for its high price. A wonderful “after breakfast” blend. Bring someone a cup of this, they will smile.

Teavana’s Thai blend has a huge flavor, a compelling aroma and a wonderful texture. The coconut taste is what I expected, and it’s robust. The vanilla and almond add a savory sweetness. The combination of red and black produces a velvety cup and it’s a full bodied cup. I give this one a perfect score because it has a wild, exotic flavor. I went through it very, very fast. The second time I bought 8 ounces and served it at a party and non-tea drinkers said wow. I especially enjoy “anytime” tea blends and this one is nice at breakfast, lunch, afternoon, dinner, and after-dinner. It’s not too sweet on its own to be a dessert tea. But if you add sweetener it can be one. I drink this blend “neat” every time but it’s probably great with milk or cream.
