Dry teabag smells like Raspberry Kool-Aid…sweet sweet sweet. While steeping, the tea is a very pink shade and smells much the same, though the sugar smell is toned down a bit, it still smells like raspberry juice. Maybe a sugar added concentrate instead of Kool-Aid.

First sip tastes much like it smells. Definitely raspberry, but not like I am eating a raspberry. It tastes artificially sweetened – Like raspberry Sorbet! It tastes almost exactly like Chapman’s raspberry sorbet. I still like it, but it is a bit strange in a tea. The longer you steep it the more the tartness will come out, though the sweet doesn’t go away so it’s interesting.

Still delicious, This cup has come out a little more citrusy than my first few, though the only difference is a lower water temperature. It’s a lovely tea for right now, easing the transition from yummy lunch break to work again.

This time I actually find it a little bitter at the end, maybe over-steeped. I think I would like a tiny bit of sugar and/or cream in it. Inherited habit!

Still don’t feel the need to re-buy this one. I will drink what I have, but playing with steep times hasn’t made the tea any more interesting (except for the colour, which starts out neon yellow and settles down to a lovely yellow orange. But colour shouldn’t matter, right? :D )

I feel like a McDonalds commercial – I’m loving it! (Still…)

Still loving it. Doesn’t taste as orangey as it smells, but smell is such a large factor in taste that it all balances out. Hits my sweet citrus needs, and would make an interesting combo with any number of my favourite lemon teas.

The most authentically apple thing I’ve had in the last few weeks. I quite enjoyed it, though one bag to two cups wasn’t my best idea. Ah well, it conserves the tea.

Smells and tastes a bit like green apples – sort of on the candy side, but quite nice. After the terrible Celestial Seasonings Apple Cinnamon episode, I am pleased to find an apple I like.

Smells AMAZING. The taste is not nearly as strong as the smell, but I did pour two cups out of one bag, so a one bag to one cup ratio will likely increase the orange scent. The falvour alone makes me happy – was a treat of a tea.

Tastes very similar to David’s Tea’s Rooibps de Provence. Not very much cranberry to be found in here, but quite nice and a very good price. Yummy, sweet – a little more cranberry would do wonders to justify the name though. :)

Pretty big favourite of mine – Something likely to be replaced in my cupboard for a long while yet. I have mixed feelings about rooibos, always depending on what flavours are mingled with it, but I find this a lovely tea.

Sweet, floral, a little druity. Delicious!

First smell – Peaches! Almost smells like the peach juice I drank at Timmies as a kid, while waiting for my Dad to finish his tea.

First taste – Definitely still peachy, though there are other flavours that aren’t as sweet and fruity. A little more flowery than expected, though after looking at the ingredient list, that makes sense. Fun note – Paprika is the last listed ingredient. It does make a pretty teabag : )

All in all, it’s tasty enough and would satisfy a craving were I suddenly nuts for something peachy, but not a re-buy. Of the three Celestial Seasonings I’ve had so far, Blueberry is the clear winner.

It’s not bad. I just don’t love it. I don’t taste a whole lot in the mug, no flavours stand out. Not sweet. Not bitter. Pretty colour, but blah tea. Will drink if it’s around, but no re-buy here.

Smells divine. You would have to like fruity teas, but thankfully I do. The black currant aroma reminds me of hard candies my grandparents always had in the house. Letting it sit and steep while the smell wafts over to me is making me impatient – Usually a sign of a good tea.

Finally having taken a sip, I still love it. Tastes as it smells, though a little milder. I find the black currant taste lasts far longer than anticipated and is quite authentic, at least to me. Two thumbs up! I’m not much for re-steeping, but I think I’ll give it a go with this one, hopefully extending my 20 count box.

Mmmm, having a mug of this with my breakfast. I’ve always found Earl Grey to remind me of Fruit Loops and this Lady Grey does the same – just the yellow and orange ones! This isn’t a complaint, just a comment on my un-educated palate. I’m quite enjoying it on it’s own with no cream or sugar, and will definitely be redrinking. My 50 count box was a good choice!

I only drink this tea at work – and only then because it’s what work provides. However, it’s a decent enough tea, I have no complaints. Sweeter than many others, has taught me to kick my inherited sugar habit, though I still use cream in it occasionally. I like it far more than Tetley (our previously stocked generic tea)

After a dismal experienve with the Celestial Seasonings Apple Cinnamon only an hour ago I was nervous to try this tea – Thankfully it’s delicious! Far sweeter than I expected, it honestly tastes like sweet ripe blueberries. The colour is even authentically blueberry…not that it should matter.

Smells, looks and tastes good. So happy!

Update – By the end of the cup the tartness had come out a bit – I truly enjoyed that as well. Sometimes an inconsistent cup gives the variety of flavours you need.

I’m only on my first few sips of my first cup…But I don’t feel like continuing. To be fair to the tea(which I so want to love), I am developing a bit of a cold which throws off all taste, but after a 5 minute steep this tea tastes like cinnamon and chemicals. Ordinarily, I leave the teabag in for the duration of a cup of tea, but this one might do best with a much shorter steep time, despite package directions of 4 to 6 minutes steeping. This cup, sadly, will do it’s best work down the drain as I just won’t make myself drink it.

And, as everyone has said, if strong tea smells (particularly of cinnamon) bother you, then don’t go here.
