This was an interesting mix in my mouth. I’ve never had an herbal infusion featuring gummy bears. It reminded me of a very light, floral fruit punch.

This tea has great chamomile flavor. I would give it a 100 percent for that. However, the flavors of the other spices were definitely lacking.

I wanted a tea strong enough to wake me up in the morning and I found it. This blend is very robust, malty, almost chocolately. The tea in the tin is beautiful – a mixture of black, brown, and yellow leaves.

This tea had a well-balanced flavor profile. You can taste each of the ingredients – the white tea, the mango, the coconut flakes, and the hibiscus flowers. There is a slight sweetness to the tea but the tartness from the mango and hibiscus are more dominant.

This tea was very enjoyable. The lavender, rose, and orange really show through and were very relaxing. However, these flavors overpowered the taste of the Dragon Well which was very subtle in this blend.

SIPDOWN…spices a little harsher than before but still enjoyed the orange flavor that peaked thru…still like the overall blend…

This is a wonderful and deliciously different chai. It’s been a while since I’ve last tasted it, and I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I sipped it again. It is so nice.

It isn’t overly spicy, but, what I would call a well-seasoned spice blend. It has a good amount of spice without being hot or overwhelming. The black tea is strong and malty and delicious. I can taste the hint of orange in the background and it offers a nice light flavor to the blend, giving it a sense of balance.

A very good chai.

Very nice flavored tea. Groovy package look. Suits this little teapot well. My humans liked it, too. http://lyt-tea-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/03/review-indie-teas-road-to-hana-tea.html

Relaxing after a busy day of dance class and running around. This is a nice cup to sip while relaxing! I can taste each note – the lavender, the rose, the orange and the green tea. A lovely medley of flavors.

I’m sending a little of this to a friend but I’m finishing up with a cup of my own. I can taste the citrus more this time around and am enjoying it more than my prior attempts therefore I am upping the rating! YUM!

My humans like Dragon Well green tea, so they thought a flavored blend based on this tea would be good. Unfortunately, they didn’t taste the tea too much. Lots of great rosebuds and orange pieces, though! http://is.gd/2xF2Do

A good moroccan mint tea. Well-balanced and satisfying.

I started my day off with this one…the name alone explains this week. I’ll be drinking a lot of tea today but not making much sense!

Winter…GO AWAY!

My full-length review for this tea will publish on January 21 at noon Eastern Time.

This is one of the better mint green teas out there, in my opinion. A very nice balance between mint and green tea. Delicious!

The dry leaf is GORGEOUS! Big slices of dried orange and rose buds and petals tossed with large Dragon Well leaves and tiny lavender buds. It smells gorgeous too. I especially love the aroma of the brewed liquor, the lavender and rose and citrus meld together and the fragrance is intoxicating.

It tastes rather amazing too. I am happy that they used Dragon Well in this blend, so often in blends like these Sencha is the choice, and not that I have anything against a good Sencha, but with these light floral notes, the Dragon Well seems a better choice than a buttery Sencha.

Light, sweet, floral with just a hint of citrus in the background. Delightful!

This is a very pleasing balance of peppermint and gunpowder green tea. No one flavor overwhelming the others. The peppermint is strong, but so is the green tea, and I’m not getting the overwhelmingly vegetative taste that I sometimes get from a gunpowder green. A very nice blend, indeed.

I’m a fan. Loose leaf teas are my favorite, and the only reason I ever have bagged tea is because TJ MAxx gets so many and I am a sucker for cool packaging. This one was a gift, and I like it. I’m a fan of benefits in tea, and consider it more important than the taste. The taste of this doesn’t rock my world, but I feel better drinking it than purely delicious blends.
