If you like Chamomile tea and am a fan of citrus-ey fruits, especially oranges I’d say give this tea a shot. It’s a calming tea (for me at least) and I tend to enjoy a cup just before bed. Maybe pick up a sampler from Mightly Leaf before investing in a tin.

I don’t know what to say about this tea other than that I liked it just fine. I didn’t make it myself. I simply tried it at a tea and coffee shop, so the best brewing and steeping times are still unknown to me. Anyway, I will be purchasing this tea soon and I plan to give it a more thorough evaluation then.

This is one of my favorites and I’ve found that I can usually steep the bag twice and still get a good cup out of the 2nd steep.

Smells earthy and tastes rich, if that’s possible for a green tea. Not light tasting in my opinion. Not sure if I’d buy a box, but it is good for plain green tea.

my first mighty leaf tea! the packages are nice because there see-through :) i dont know y i like see-through things so much but that makes it more exciting for me. the little bags are cute too because you can see that they are sewn together. i have to admit i bought might leaf because Rabbysmom made them all look so good so i had to try it. i mean its loose leaf but bagged which means i can be lazy lol

this has a soft delicate flavor that i can pick out as the white tea (which i have noticed i have become VERY fond of) its a soft and relaxing tea mmmmm it has a fruitiness to it that i expected to be more melon-y but its more pear/apple-y the color is a very pretty yellow. there is nothing strong about this tea :)

im glad i picked this out because we are having a shrimp teriyaki stir fry and this will balance out with the bold flavors.

I’ve been devouring all my teabags first as well. It’s just so much easier, haha. No need to measure out anything, just drop a teabag in and you’re set to go.

More thoughts on the tea I logged late yesterday afternoon…couldn’t stop thinking about this tea!! Love love love this. I should have eaten before I had it b/c I wasn’t hungry at all for dinner. Guess that would be good if I were on a diet! I will purchase a box of this as soon as I’m able too. I love the clarity that I felt after drinking it. Also seemed to be a mood elevator. I promise, I drank it and didn’t smoke it;)

I reeeeeealy want to try mate! I’m so intrigued!!!

I owned about 4 kilos at one time, I tried it once, then put it on special. I know it has it’s devotees, but eeerggghh!

I think mental clarity is the most overlooked benefit of tea drinking. Nothing like some good ole’ piece of mind from a nice pot of tea.

rabbysmom

@JacquelineM You should! Here’s what my experience had been up to now with mate. Most of the ones I have tried tasted coffeeish,I think because it’s roasted mate and that is not what I’m going for when I order a cup of tea:) So, when I tried this sample I was pleasantly surprised. I think I discovered the difference that this one makes- the mate is unroasted hence the non coffee flavor. Works for me! :)

rabbysmom

Of course I’m not expert, so the roasted/not roasted bit is just my uneducated guess.

Smells like Green Tea Tropical, tastes ooogles better from any mate I’ve tried. Usually I get such a “coffee like” flavor from mate, but that is not the case here. I like it!

Not quite sure about this yet. Wasn’t bad but I didn’t taste much vanilla, sadly.

I was disappointed here. Mighty Leaf can make excellent teas. This one simply seemed to lack any flavor—it was a bit like steeping saw dust. I really prefer bold flavor, so perhaps I’ve missed something here.

Mighty Leaf Green Mango Decaf + Adagio Gunpowder = A Marriage Made in Heaven!

I’m nothing if not a man of science and adventure. I’ll try anything…twice. As much as I love my dirt cheap Adagio Gunpowder, I’ve been pondering ways to shave off a little of the vegetal edge it presents (even though I like it) and soften it with a flavor of some sort. But what to blend it with???

The outstanding feature of the Gunpowder is that it goes down bitter, but leaves an incredibly sweet, lingering aftertaste. Which tea in my cupboard could pair with that bitter-sweet nectar and possibly enhance it?

I went with the Mighty Leaf Green Mango Decaf. When I bought this tea I had high hopes for it as a fruity, tropical dessert tea. Opening the pouch unleashed an aroma that could only be called a mango tsunami — it filled the whole room. Imagine my surprise that this tea came out bitter and harsh in the cup, regardless of how gently and carefully I brewed it. The second infusion was much less bitter, but you have to get past that first cup. So I risked mixing my two most bitter teas to create a tea gestalt — an end product that was greater than the sum of its parts.

The first infusion was just as expected — bitter and slightly astringent, but with a nice fruity punch from the mango. But I wasn’t here for the first infusion. That was just the cross I had to bear to reach the second infusion.

Ahh! The exalted Second Infusion. I’ll cut to the chase and just say that it exceeded my wildest dreams. This was one of the finest cups of tea that I had ever experienced. Smooth, fruity, decidedly green, no bitterness. It was a party in my mouth!

The bottom line is that I took a tea that had been an initial disappointment (the Mighty Leaf Green Mango Decaf) and blended it with something else in such a way as to produce a cuppa that transcended the properties of each component. Yes, friends, a disappointing tea can be redeemed and brought to new life when judiciously joined together with a compatible product. It is a new creation, a revelation, an epiphany.

The more I explore tea, the more I’m finding that I prefer the second infusion to the first for most teas. Gunpowder + Mango sounds really yummy, too.

Phil Hovatter

Yes, I’m finding that to be true, too. I still a total noob, so I haven’t begun to scratch the surface of the serious tea-drinking world, but the technique of pouring off the water after 30 seconds and hitting it with another infusion immediately is starting to make sense to me. Anyone who has tried this technique is abundantly welcome to share their experiences here. For now, I’m too cost-conscious to pour the stuff down the drain. Can I still get as many good infusions if I do?

Shanti

I’m not that experienced with this, but I think you’d still be able to get as many infusions (or even more) than you would normally after the first cup. For me, sometimes the first cup will make me feel a little sick if I’m not liking the flavors, so it makes sense for me to just toss the first cup and to enjoy the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. :)

Adding a little sweetener (agave nectar) and milk make this tea amazingly delicious. See my full review: http://mandybee.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/coco-chai-rooibos-from-mighty-leaf-is-delicious/

This would definitely never be a go-to tea for me but it’s pretty good. I like the addition of the cinnamon with the berries and lemon flavors. I think I would like this better during the winter when I’m looking for something warm with a little tartness as I enjoy the flavors better when the tea is hot. When the tea is cool or iced, the berry flavors are a little overwhelming.

Rooibos Renewal is a nice, fresh-tasting tea but it uses orange as a main flavor and it just doesn’t work for me. It smells really good, orangey and a little flowery with that familiar smell of rooibos. The large pieces of orange peel add a lot of citrus flavor to this tea and it’s slightly mellowed by the flower petals (rose and blue mallow). The second steeping isn’t quite as strong as the first and I find it a bit easier to drink but this isn’t a tea that I’ll be looking for next time I go tea-shopping.

I’ve had two cups of this tea on this lovely Saturday morning and I have to say… not feeling the rejuvenation I was looking for. I think others may enjoy this tea more than I do. It’s not necessary bad, just not my cup.

It had a very light green tea flavor. The tropical flavor was not overpowering. Overall a very light tea. This does not mean that it was weak.

I’m not an Earl Grey fan but this one was pretty good. This tea was strong just like the other Mighty Leaf teas.

I’m not a jasmine fan but it did not taste like perfume. Some of the cheaper jasmine teas taste like perfume.

This tea is not unpleasant, but it does not stand out for me. If I want a chocolate tea, I have other options that “pop” in my mouth more boisterously. I don’t think this is a bad tea, but it’s not memorable.
