Teavana

This is great for people like me who do not like chai tea. you only get a hint of the chai. smells great tastes good. fruity smooth. caffeine is good.

Super intense and very sharp. Love the citrus notes and the spicy finish. 1 1/2 teaspoon per 8 oz. with a hint of sugar.

I have very recently fully kicked coffee and have found this tea to be a reason to wake up eager in the morning again. The smoothness of the tea as well as the malty/ chocolaty notes make for the perfect cup of tea on a cold winter morning. I personally find it best using 3 pearls per 8 oz of water and it re-steeps well.

So much backlogging to do. >.< Curse poverty and multiple medical disasters.
This was a somewhat ironic Winter Solstice present. Usually my solstice celbrating friends stick to green teas for solstice tea gifts (the whole “green/go away winter” thing, I suppose) but this is delectible enough to override my rooibos aversion. And anything tropical has a welcome place in my cupboard while I need snowshoes to reach my mailbox. (-_-;)
This is a bright, fruity bend that’s amazingly sweet from the pinappple. I could swear the main ingredients were guava and papaya and there was no rooibos at all (a plus for me) but it says the contrary. I guess that’s an interaction of the pinapple and marigold? Hmm… Anyway, this is my favorite dessert tea right now. Perfect for late night sugar cravings without a genuine contribution to diabetes.

I’ve only had this one time and it was ok, sweet & fruity. My boys though Love this tea with some Honeybush, they ask for it almost every evening before bed.

Praised be the astute and venerable person who originated the aphorism “good things come in small packages!” This satisfyingly rich mixture is indeed a small gustatory marvel! When I began to open the package, I could at once sense that this tea would be so. As my heart rate began to reach a seemingly inordinately rapid pace for the opening of a tea package, and as my agèd nerves once again felt the brisk and exhilarating quickness of youthful anticipation, I knew that this could be no common tea. And yea, I did experience this innate awareness again as I watched the small dainty balls of lightly compressed tea, each their own microcosms of a world of fantastic taste, fall with a supernatural grace into the seething water of my humble teapot. And oh, how right I was. The fine globes of tea slowly unfurled themselves, as does the dragon unfurl his long and noble body after a century’s worth of the most profound slumber, and as does the ivory-petal’d lily unfurl its soft beauty upon a bright world in glorious springtime. When Father Time did turn his hourglass at three and a half minutes to signal the completion of the tea’s deeply moving steeping process, I rushed to grab my cup to taste and behold this sweet and velvety chocolate wonder. The water in the pot had turned a shade of amber rich enough to surpass that of the jewels of Baltic princesses from the days of empires, and beautiful enough to rival the ethereal splendour of the wide Jordanian deserts.

This tea was such a warming, rich, sweet delight that I utterly neglected to pause Lawrence of Arabia when it automatically resumed on my television. It is no matter however; I own the film, but I only own a finite amount of this exquisite and aptly named Black Dragon Pearl tea. [My deepest apologies to the distinguished Mr. O’Toole…]

Yummmm is all I can think of at the moment. I can just hover over the mug of steaming tea and take in the spicy chocolate aroma. I drink at least 24oz of this for my morning routine, goodbye coffee.

OMGosh! This tea sticks to me like a perfum. I lick my lips for a taste, I kiss my boys and they say I smell yummy, its on me & my clothes…crazy but in a tasty way.

A yummy late afternoon sip with milk & some chunk sugar. If I need a more vibrant drink I’ll blend it with JavaMate with a couple of peppercorns throw in the steep.

This gyokuro is on sale right now at Teavana for 75% off, so if you’re thinking of trying it, now is the time. Only $5 for 2 oz. I stocked up. This has always been one of my favorite gyokuros. I have branched out since I discovered this tea — in the past year or so I’ve tried a lot of different Japanese greens — but I still like this. If you brew it correctly it’s flavorful and gives you that really “green” green tea experience.

I’ve sampled several gyokuros, and so far this is my favorite. It has a depth of flavor some others seem to lack. It almost has a “chocolately,” dense sort of scent in the tin. I brew this at about 155 for two minutes only, otherwise it does turn bitter. But brewed properly, it yields a flavorful yet delicate, savory, vegetal cup. The price point of this gyokuro is more comfortable than some others I’ve found. In my experience, the second infusion is not as rich; the third is very good, then after that it loses flavor.

It was “Meh” it tasted like a mesh of flavors none of which I could identify individually.

This time I mixed it with some of Joy’s Spicy Chai.
The result: Mocha (Don’t ask how the chocolate got there…)
I’m serious, this is probably the most full bodied cup of tea I’ve ever drank.

Upping rating for it. I’m growing fond of this tea.

I had Thai tea the other day at a pho restaurant, and I NEEDED more afterwards! I bought this the next day at Teavana, and have really enjoyed it so far. I think I should add more tea next time when I brew it to make it more flavorful, and buy some condensed milk… I enjoyed it best as an iced tea.

This has become my favorite White Tea. Even with such a long steep, it is sweet and unassuming. It is mildly fragrant and I love the aroma. It is perfect for early morning tea.

I’ve been using this for iced tea, sometimes plain, sometimes as a base to blend in other berry or citrus tisanes. It was really good with the Lemon Youkou. Anyways, today, for the first time, I decided to try this hot. I was considering tossing the tea, because I was downright sick of it iced, but thought it needed a chance hot first.

My oh my is this a good breakfast tea. I added 1/2 teaspoon of german rock sugar and would have added milk, had I had any. This is mighty fine. Many more steps up from traditional lipton (thank goodness). I could see myself drinking this as a daily cup. It’s a nice pick me up. This tea may be just what I need to get into unflavored black teas. I feel another Harney order coming on! (black blends here I come)!

For those who love Lemon and Lime, real lemon and lime, this tea is for you!!! Amazing flavor, so wonderful with almost any other tea!

I went into Teavana the other day, and the girl in there insisted I try this, so, we mixed it with Lemon Lime Kampai Rooibos Tea & WOW!!!! So delicious, actually came back to the store before I left and bought a tin and mixed them! Such a unique flavor profile!!!!

I don’t like this much. It tastes a little soapy, which I think is the tulsi. Not much spice, and what there is is mostly sweet cinnamon. It contains unspecified flavouring and sugar. I’m working on decupboarding!
