The dry leaf mixture smells JUST LIKE York Peppermint Patties!!!!!!!! Woooooo! Post Infusion smells like Black Tea, Peppermint, Cream. This ‘brews up’ quick and dark! This tastes like black tea, mint, and vanilla. Altho I must say I LOVE the out-of the-bag aroma better than the actual taste…the taste isn’t bad either! Actually the more I sip the more I like.

Might tried ICED and might try some of other experiments! :P

Post infusion this is a very weird grey-ish brown color…almost like muddy or cloudy water…a water puddle…

I was afraid because of the hibiscus….but there’s isn’t too much in there, thankfully.

I think it’s more floral tasting with a fruity-sweet sidekick more than anything. It’s a more mellow tasting Compass Tea – pretty pleasant overall. I must say this one was a nice surprise. I don’t know if I would buy-out-the stock if I were to see it on a shelf – but I would suggest trying it if you were given the opportunity!

CHEERS!

This smells AWESOME!!!!!

The green rooibos tones down the overall blueberry taste and it brings it to a happy medium almost. This is very satisfying! I am going to share this with a few of you as well…so those I am gathering Mystery Packages for…keep an eye out!

What doesn’t this blend have?

This is a mix of black, white, oolong, yerba mate, peach flavoring, and flowers! WOW! Normally that would make me nervous…but whatever mathematician came up with the percentages for this combo is pure genius!

EVERYTHING makes sense in this blend. All of the ingredients play nicely and smell and taste good together!

Not to mention the health benefits in this tea! WOW! Nicely done, Compass Teas, Nicely Done! :)

Have I Told You Lately…That I LOVE You??? Ahhhhhh! It’s been too long since my last cup of this! I’m saving a little bit for my stash but send a few samples to friends to spread the joy! In the meantime…read previous notes…this time around…additional notes include…

Cookie-like, almond-esque, black tea-base is A O K. Hints of Cinnamon. LOVELY!

Mostly Almonds and Spice today. Still pretty good.

This dry ‘mix’ looks like Almond Cookie by SpecialTea and The Spice and Tea Exchange. It smells really close to it too! I’m excited to try this and my infusion is almost complete! (insert giddy/evil laugh here)

Oh yeah…THIS is NICE!

I’m thinking the Almond and spice is a little bit more prominent thank the black tea in the other tea companies take on this…and I’m not sure if there is as much ‘cookie’ type taste but regardless this is darn tasty! YUM!

I revisited this one again today and found it to be a little TOO creamy-like this time around. I still like the offering from compass but I’m going to lower the rating a tad…next time I think I will try infusing less of the loose leaf.

drank Smooth Earl by Compass Teas

I can’t believe this one wasn’t in the steepster database!

This is a very creamy/vanilla-scented Earl Grey. I always look for twists on earl greys because I like to see how different they can be but still be classified as an earl grey. I know there are some people out there that stand by the phrase “Leave My Earl Alone” but not me…I love the variety, the creativeness, the uniqueness!

Again, this aroma is delightful! black tea, bergamot, creame, vanilla, ahhhh!

The taste is VERY creamy! The cream and vanilla both town down the bergamot and I really like this. Lately I have had a lot of EG’s that overdue it with the bergamot or use a really REALLY funky bergamot flavoring and it tends to be bitter or leave that strange aftertaste. Not this one! This is pretty darn good right here! VERY smooth…darn near the smoothest tea I have ever had. Some may say the bergamot isn’t strong enough but I really like the way this one plays out!

Delightful!

Hmmm, sounds interesting and yummy!

TeaCast

Wow, that’s very high praise IMO :)

This is good and strong to get you thru the morning! It brews up fast and dark and has your typical black tea aroma. It offers a peppery-kick at the beginning of the sip and a semi-smooth finish!

I received some of this in a swap with a friend of mine.

Nice and fruity. I prefer green rooibos to red rooibos, the green rooibos seems to have more of a fresh, light taste instead of the woodsy taste I get from the red. I also find that there is less of that artificial saccharine-y taste to the green rooibos.

Very pleasant tropical flavor. Sweet. Nice.

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more

Lol! Nasty bunnies!

Veri-Tea

Bad bunnies! Bad! Hee hee hee!

Rabs

I second the lol! Bunny violation! Plus my mind went to Anya from Buffy which is an added bonus :)

SoccerMom

You better hurry up and get rid of the snow bunnies before they get dust bunnies. LOL

Ricky

I know these bunnies are evil! Bunny teas are not to be trusted!!! Luckily it seems Steepster only carries beach and snow bunnies.

AmazonV

hey, leave my bunnies outta this!

Ricky

Your bunny is just as guilty and you know it!

Rabs

::rabbit disapproves:: ;)

AmazonV

lol! man i wish lolbunnies was up right now so i could link that disapproving rabbit

Rabs

lolbunnies? LOL! I only know this one: http://www.disapprovingrabbits.com/

AmazonV

it was like this: http://icanhascheezburger.com/tag/lolbunnies/ but a whole site of them – my bunnies fail to disapprove or cute they just flop

Rabs

Oh teh cute! ::splodes::

Ricky

A year ago a friend of mine showed me the icanhascheezburger link… and I said really? Once again I laugh and go really!?!?

Oh bunnies… I think I have a picture of my friend’s bunny that looks just like that brown one . It was one stinky bunny.

Veri-Tea

Oh lolbunnies…. too cute, I can’t stand it…

Beach Bunny? Sounds a bit naughty…

Ricky

It’s a naughty tea ;)

Imagine this in Jacqueline’s cupboard? Oh boy….

Angrboda

She’d be the only one with an X-rated cupboard… o.O

Thanks for that mental image. Really. Thanks. :s

JacquelineM

I’m not sure what would happen if both Thomases and Jackee saw a Beach Bunny saunter into the cabinet! I am sure if it got out of hand the Samovar teas would intervene – they are very PC and would perform an intervention if not a citizen’s arrest!!!! And then my tea cabinet would also have a JAIL – I think on the third level near the food processor accessories.

Angrboda

Food processor accessories? O.o Your cupboard jail has torture things???

LiberTEAS

We have done several reviews of Compass’s teas on the Tea Review Blog.

JacquelineM

Angrboda – The Samovars would report me for that!! I better do some rearranging!

Ricky

Poor teas! You’re going to throw them into the food processor with all the shiny blades!?!? It’s a torture chamber! Even the beach bunny doesn’t deserve that!

Thanks for the heads up LiberTEAs =]

Angrboda

Someone ought to write the Saga of JacquelineM’s Cupboard… :p

JacquelineM

I think it would make a great graphic novel or animated short!!!

SoccerMom

Someone please send JacquelineM some beach bunny! I wanna read her review. :)

Ricky

Fwahaha ;)

JacquelineM

We can have the Beach Bunny and that tea that Alicia said was the Dita Von Teese of teas in the cupboard and see what happens!!! Personally I think Dita should give the Beach Bunny a makeover! Then they can do a show a la Crazy Horse Paris in my tea cupboard! Now that the Tiger is gone, I can turn his cage upside down to be a stage! Tupelo Honey will most likely perform too (if that isn’t a great burlesque name, I don’t know what is!!)

Ricky

Just wait until those Damn Freres Brothers joins the cupboard. Oh man, Jacqueline’s cupboard is going to come alive!

Doulton

What fun! Have you seen Pagnea Teas? They have a “NaughTea” and a “NaughTea Monkey” and a series of “Tea Enhancers”. Very SoCal!
