Only one word for this tea: heavenly!
Beautiful, full flavor cinnamon and the taste of hibiscus and orange peels give it a nice sweetness, without the need for sugar or honey.
I was planning only keeping this one at work, but I believe I’ll be taking it home as well!
Flavors: Cinnamon, Fruity, Orange
Preparation
This tea reminds me a lot of one from when I lived in Hawaii. Even though this is a bagged tea, the leaves are actually pretty good quality Ceylon and the flavor is refreshing. This one is good iced or hot, with or without sweetener, with or without creamer. The papaya and passion fruit flavors are sweet enough to drink straight, which is what I personally prefer. The closest comparison that I’ve had would be to the Rainbow Hawaii from my childhood, sold The Pacific Place’s Tea garden. That one is sold in loose leaf and only slightly better because it has more tropical fruit flavors that are better balanced.
Preparation
Still the best tea I have ever found a grocery store before they brought Harney and Son’s to Target. A naturally sweet tea combined with just the right amount of cinnamon and almost impossible to over-steep, burn, or mess up in anyway. It’s my go to first tea to help get someone into drinking tea and bring them over to the dark side.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Hibiscus, Spices, Sweet
Preparation
The smell of this tea is enough to drive me crazy. I’m not a big green tea person, but how light and fruity this tea was really made me happy. It’s very mellow, so not an every day kind of drink for me, but over all I liked it a lot. Definitely will be drinking more.
Flavors: Blueberry, Fruity
Preparation
A very bland tea, as I’m learning. Maybe something for when my senses are very sensitive, but definitely not an every day drink. Steeped the recommended 3-5 minutes with boiling water. I added sweetener and cream to try and bring out a flavor, but absolutely nothing. I’m essentially drinking hot water. Which is ok, I guess, just not for me.
Preparation
Bought this tea because it caught my eye. One of the firsts in joining the tea craze. Followed the directions on the box. It’s very light and fruity. Added a little bit of honey for a natural sweetener. Love it. Probably my favorite one so far.
Flavors: Fruity
Preparation
Yummy! Closest I can get with a grocery store brand of bagged tea to a good loose rooibos. Very strong (malty, even?) when steeped for about 10 minutes. Doesn’t leave a lingering taste in my mouth, just a smooth red tea.
