This tea is very warm and yummy. It’s not that aromatic but it does have a bit a flowery flavor. I like this because it’s nice and savory with a tiny bit of sweet. Very good overall.

Edit: As it cooled down it became a little bit more open and airy. Quite nice.

Had this tea yesterday afternoon. It was delicious. It has a very nice calm white tea flavor with a great floral element that is not too overpowering as some have said. As I sipped this one more and it cooled down a bit it became creamier and had a nice warming feel to it.

I like jasmine teas and this one is one of my favorites, it’s almost as good as jasmine pearls.

I could see myself cuddling up with a cup of this at the end of a long day. Just not today because I’m having chai right now.

This is some of the best chai I have had yet, I am amazed how much I like it! Beats Starbucks chai any day. It is sweet, spicy, and has nice warm tone to it. I went to the Loose Teas yesterday and bought a couple of teas and a chai latte made with this tea… then returned today to buy a couple ounces of this tea as well as another latte, with the rewards points I have for buying so much tea from them.

Baseline:
Great chai, great price, I highly suggest you try this tea!

Backlog:

Maybe I’m just not a fruity tea drinker, but this tea was not that great imho. It was super strong and did not have much of a Rooibos base to me. It was just sweet and the “orange” flavor just didn’t taste right.

Backlog:
I bought this tea at the local Whole Foods (gosh, that place is addicting!). I was really excited to try my first wuyi oolong. This did not disappoint. It was delicious, warm, complex yet simple, and somewhat peachy. Very good blend. Very good for the price.

I haven’t posted on here much recently, been really busy with school and work. I’ve been drinking a lot of tea… and coffee. I got an espresso machine, so I’ve been split between the daily latte and the daily cup o’ tea. Anywho, today I received a shipment of 3 teas and went to the local tea shop and bought 2 more and also ordered some from Verdant. Can’t wait to try em all!

To the review:
A local tea shop had this tea as a sample today, it was iced with just a tiny bit of sweetener(sugar). It was amazingly delicious. It has a bit of sweetness and an unexpected cherry flavor, which I am guessing came from the almond and apple. It was delicious as an iced tea, not sure how it will be hot. Bought 2 oz of this so I will try it hot and post back later.

This tea is actually not that bad. If you are looking for a good no frills basic Earl Grey, this is a good option.

Yumminess Rating – 8/10

Taste – This tea is sweet and smooth with a sweet aftertaste. Very little bitterness detected. I would like this tea to have a bit more creaminess to it, but I guess it isn’t a EGC, so it’s good for what it is.

Smell – It’s aroma is slightly floral with a nice big black tea undertone. Bravo to the blend, it smells amazing.(had to put in a pun).

Overall a very smooth and yummy tea, I just might get more, however I would like to find a good EGC.

To start, this is not my favorite chai, it’s really good, just wish it was stronger. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Tasting notes:
1.) Very sweet, you definitely taste the coconut.
2.) Has a good black tea undertone.
3.) Spices could be a bit more present.

How I brewed it:
Steeped at 212° for 5 minutes

This tea is super yummy. At first when you open the bag it smells like a blueberry muffin, sweet with a nice bit of berry. On steeping this tea is when I really started to notice the fruitiness of it, the tea doesn’t taste how I thought it would, it’s better!

Tasting notes:
1.) The bergamot oils are really mellowed down by the vanilla and berry.
2.) This tea is good steeped a little stronger than most EG teas.

How I brewed it:
Temp: 200f
Time: 4 minutes

This is one of my favorite teas, it is also one of the first teas that I bought as the full leaf version and made me love teas. Just when I opened up the tea it smells amazing; lemony, sweet, minty, and at the same time has a nice green tea backing flavor. When I brew it and start sipping I enjoy the simple combination of lemongrass, peppermint, and sweetness. Very good tea overall.

Very good tea, I really enjoy the strong fruity flavors. I like to brew this for about 6-7 minutes. I may end up purchasing some for my own tea collection.

This is a nice soothing mint tea. It has a nice flavor with a nice green tea backing. I personally wish that the green tea were a bit stronger. Overall it has a nice taste, great to relax with while reading or working on personal projects.

Very yummy. Not too strong but has a nice bold flavor, it’s a great tea to have in the morning.
