Blueberry Iced Tea - Black Tea from The Tea Nation
77

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.

I hot brewed it last night. This is incredibly refreshing – the blueberry flavor is strong and sweet, with just a hint of tartness. The black tea is brisk. Nice with lunch.

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.

This is a very pleasant cup of tea. Relaxing and vegetative. Brothy. Nice. Sweet with a nice savory overtone. I like it.

Had this for the first time today on a mission to find the perfect earl grey. pretty good cup of tea, with a good helping of bergamot. The aroma when opened up is quite pleasant and makes me really crave a cup. I dont think its my all time favorite earl grey but a pretty darn good one.

Mango White from The Tea Nation

I loved the flavor. It is wonderful, where can I buy this tea?

what is up with the rating? It will not let me rate the tea.

Finishing off the last of this that TeaEqualsBliss sent me. (Thanks!)

I really love the aroma of this tea. Yum! Sweet and creamy. This cup is not as astringent as the last one was. Nice!

English Breakfast from The Tea Nation

This is a tasty breakfast blend. Strong and brisk. A good tea to have on hand, especially on those days when you don’t have a lot of time to prepare tea but still need a good, brisk cuppa!

Vanilla Almond Black from The Tea Nation

Thank you TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea!

The aroma that is wafting from my teacup at the moment is quite yummy – it is very vanilla-almond-esque! It almost smells like dessert!

The flavor is also quite nice. The black tea is strong and astringent, the almonds taste sweet and toasty, and the vanilla is smooth and creamy. I’m loving this tea and I’m surprised that this much flavor came from a teabag!

Pomegranate Green Tea from The Tea Nation

Just finishing a cup of this tea – the last that I have of this tea too! It was a pretty good tea. Here is my full-length review of it: http://sororiteasisters.com/2010/11/04/pomegranate-green-tea-from-the-tea-nation/

Papaya and Passion Fruit Black Tea from The Tea Nation
75

This is a decent black tea. The black tea is surprisingly strong for a Ceylon base, and it is not to be overpowered by the tropical fruit. Sweet with hints of bitterness in the background. An interesting cup that I think is even better iced than hot. A good summertime tea!

Earl Grey from The Tea Nation

Not a terrible Earl Grey, but not the best I’ve tried either… this one rests at a happy medium. A fair amount of bergamot that doesn’t taste artificial or perfume-y (although the aroma worried me a bit before I took sip because it didn’t quite smell like bergamot but rather a bergamot-based perfume)

Nice!

Raspberry Green Tea from The Tea Nation

Starting out the work day, it just seems right to start green then move into the black zone as the day goes on…wonder if I am the only one who thinks this way…for some it may be the other way around…or no black at all…

Raspberry Green Tea from The Tea Nation
67

Good way to start the morning…wondering about making the leap to loose tea, how different it will be. I like a little flavoring in my green, next to Jasmine, Raspberry is my favorite.

Earl Grey from The Tea Nation

I am down to this tea after finishing off another box of Twinings Irish Breafast.

I have figured out that I really like this tea with a little bit of milk. It doesn’t overpower the tea and it just rounds out the flavor a bit. I even got my boy to try some and he liked it fairly well. He prefers Numi though.

Pomegranate Black Tea from The Tea Nation
78

Finishing off the last of this tea that TeaEqualsBliss sent to me – thank you!

Bright and delicious. The pomegranate is sweet and tart, but not too tart. It tastes like … well… pomegranate! This tea starts out with very little astringency, but it develops as I continue to sip. Not a bad thing though, as long as you don’t mind astringency (I don’t mind it at all, as long as it’s not overwhelming)

I like that I can taste tea and pomegranate. The black tea is brisk and bright, and the fruity flavor of the pomegranate doesn’t taste artificial. It’s a good cuppa.

Mango White from The Tea Nation

I had a cup of this with abit of sugar. I like the tea pretty well. The mango is sweet with abit of tart of to it and is about a light to medium taste and the white is light and pleasant tasting.

Thanks to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea!

This is a very nicely balanced pomegranate black tea. The pomegranate tastes authentic, it doesn’t taste fake nor does it taste over-done. The black tea is strong and brisk, no bitterness and very little astringency to it, although I am finding that the astringency does develop as I make my way down the cup. The first few sips had very little astringency to them, but now there is a little more. Still not overpowering though.

A really nice cuppa!

Honey & Lemon Green Tea from The Tea Nation

Absolutely more honey than lemon flavoring in this. The honey aroma is VERY intense. The honey taste is also strong. The lemon is noticeable but not strong and the green tea flavoring is somewhat lost in the background. This is OK but not very memorable. Then again…I’m usually not into honey flavored teas unless they are incredible remarkable!
