Not all that thrilling, in my opinion. Tried it hot, and while it smelled and looked nice there wasn’t a whole lot of flavor. Delicate and a little bit sweet and otherwise indistinct. Not enough pear flavor to impress me.

I am chilling the rest of the box for use as iced tea right now, and I suspect it will be much better that way. In general I like white tea better cold.

UPDATE: This tea is much better iced! The flavor is subtle and cold suits it well.

Smells like Christmas and tastes like spiced honey. I expected a much sharper cinnamon taste, but the tea was pleasantly smooth and sweet. I can’t imagine drinking this when it’s warm outside, but as a cold-weather tea it’s perfect.

My only complaint is that the cinnamon powder is escaping its sachets! Next time I’ll have to get loose leaves.

I took a trip to England over the summer and fell in love with elderflower everything, so before I left I snatched up the only elderflower tea I could find—this one.

After a very short steep it’s already a little bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet and floral. I imagine this would be great iced.

I tried this the other day while fighting a head cold and it cleaned my sinuses right out! It was more savory than I expected, and it almost reminded me of some soups I’ve had.

The dry leaves were very fragrant and the brewed tea was a beautiful gold color. The tea smelled better dry than brewed. Again, a little like soup! The taste made up for it, though.

Not something I would want every day, but when I want something a little spicy (or when I get sick again) I would get it again.

Bio

Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.

I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!

I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
