This is everything I want in a herbal tea. It’s such a wonderful mix. Applemint is the main ingredient, which is a mild mint. I love drinking this iced in the morning, or after work. It’s just a perfect mix with thyme and chamomile. There’s a very light floral background which works well with everything.

Flavors: Floral, Mint, Sweet

I was interested in the blending of these two teas. The outcome? I prefer these teas as their own. It didn’t stand out. I didn’t see it was great for iced tea, either. Just wasn’t my taste.

This wasn’t what I thought it would taste like. It’s peachy and has alittle lychee like flavoring…not the passionfruit flavoring I was seeking. It’s ok, but I wouldn’t buy again.

drank Java BOP by Upton Tea Imports

I bought this thinking it would make for a nice, brisk black tea in the morning. It’s far too astringent for my taste. I brewed it 3-4 minutes, and still bitter with no other notes to make it drinkable for me. It is bland, like the other reviewer mentioned.

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 3 min, 0 sec

The more I am drinking it, the more it reminds me more of houjicha than a sencha. There’s some of the smokiness.

When I opened the bag, the tea didn’t appear as green as I thought it should of been. This is my first type of kamairicha, so I didn’t know what to expect. The look of it reminded me of some Chinese greens I’ve had. I read on the description it’s higher flamed, which was to produce more juicy flavor, I am interested.

I followed the instructions given by Yuuki-cha on how to brew. This tea is freaking amazing! So much depth, unami, savory like quality. The dry leaf smell is soooo yummy, reminds me of a bowl of buttered greens or potato chips.

I can’t really compare it to anything else I’ve tasted. Reviewers on the Yuuki-cha says their taste of coconut, too. I agree.

I bought this thinking it would taste like something else. I drank it iced, and it has a nice punch like taste, sweet. It reminds me of a glogg verison of tea. I’m not super in love with it, nothing out of this world.

drank Coco Chai Rooibos by DAVIDsTEA

I loved all what was in the tea, I just didn’t like how it all tasted together. I brewed a 10 oz cup with 1 tablespoon of leaves, and I thought it was very weak still. I brew my own chai blends very strong, so my palate is always wanting that. I wanted to love this tea, but just couldn’t.

I drank this iced. It has a nice real orange flavor, little floral honey cream flavor there. It’s naturally sweet.

drank Bamboozled by DAVIDsTEA

This is my first bamboo tea. It’s very light, I didn’t taste much of the fruit flavoring. I didn’t get much of flavor of anything. If I had to compare it to anything, green rooibos. I drank it iced, it’s just way too mild and light for my taste.

Preparation
Boiling 7 min, 0 sec 3 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I love cooking, sleeping, reading, reggae music, and tea. I also enjoying reading about tea, the culture and ceremonies, and the diverse types.

I think most the teas I drink are 80% iced, but on some days, it’s opposite that, especially days off! I can’t believe it took me this long to try different teas. Better now than never!

Reading the reviews help guide me to the right tea. I have been turned on to so many delightful brews.

I am ALWAYS up for swapping. Just PM me.
