Bob Evans had the decaf version, and I noticed it after I had made green tea. I made the Earl Grey after 2 cups of green. Gotta love a tea basket! This one is light and lemony. Where’d the lemon come from? It’s just tea and bergamot. Regardless, I like it, because I like lemony things. I probably could’ve left the tea bag in for a little longer, but that’s alright. The whole point of going out to eat was to feel better after a stressful day, and the waiter certainly amused us.
I originally wanted the chicken pot pie, but they didn’t have any readily available. He said it would take about 20 minutes, so I said maybe I’ll have the beef pot roast, and he said “though you would have salad and bread to distract you,” I said I’d take the pot roast anyway. They’re both comfort food to me. So when this bell rang, he came over and said “I just thought you’d like to know that that was the bell for the pot pie.”
Also, my roommate had a lot of diet Coke, and kept needing more refills. She put her empty glass near the corner of the table, and said, “I wonder if putting it here will make him notice that I want a refill.” Within minutes, he brought one out and said, “surprise.”
Needless to say, we had several laughs, and I am a lot more relaxed now. Still worried, but relaxed. And full of tea.

A lot of my favorite things are in this tea. Green tea, plus a little white, means a milder tea flavor. Honey and lemon are typical remedies for vocalists, and the ginseng adds a nice spiciness that isn’t overpowering. I should drink this on a regular basis during seasons I typically have more allergy problems, or if I’m about to come down with something.

I had a bad morning—nothing was going my way, and it’s raining like crazy again. Student activities sponsored a tea bar (free travel mug!) in the student center today, which really made my day. At the suggestion of a friend, I chose this one, and it helped me relax. The rose and spearmint complement the chamomile nicely—I usually don’t care for the herb by itself, unless I am really in the mood for it.
At arranging, I realized I’d made yet another mistake on the assignment I’d just turned in, but I’ve done well in the class otherwise. The chamomile said to shrug it off.

Finally, a mild black tea! Light and fruity, just the way I like my tea. I might like one more flavor to add to it, but I’m not sure yet. Honey might be overkill…

An invigorating, delicious tea that makes a great pick-me-up. The peppermint is not overwhelming, and mixes well with the spices.

Resteeped it, and it still has enough caramel in it. Good when I need a richer, darker sort of sweet, or relaxing without getting sleepy.

Microwaved 2.5 minutes, steeped a couple minutes (don’t remember…) Smelled like a caramel latter while steeping. I can taste the caramel and vanilla pretty equally, and they’re pretty strong compared to the tea itself (I steep everything briefly, because I like milder tea). Out of curiosity, I added a little Coffee-Mate (hey, I don’t always have milk in the fridge), which made it slightly creamier. It mellowed out as I drank it.

No notes yet.

Had it at the cafeteria again recently. To someone else’s suggestion, I tried it with a hint of honey. I also put in a packet of Splenda, which was probably overkill. Definitely sweeter this time!

Microwaved on high 2.5 minutes. Steeped for about 4 minutes. Tasted a little bitter, and kind of earthy. Added a hint of sugar, which I couldn’t taste, so I added a bit more. Then I added some milk, enough to turn it cloudy. Added one last bi of sugar, and I think it’s a decent flavor. With the added milk, it’s a pretty mild chai, but I like milder teas. Nice when I just need something warm and soothing to drink.

Since the dorm has no kitchen, I have to use a microwave. Mixed equal parts milk and water. microwaved on high for 2.5 minutes. Too much milk—the spices were barely noticeable

A good balance of flavors. Light and fruity, just the way I like my tea :)

I find that steeping for more than 2 minutes (it recommends 2-5) produces too sharp a flavor for my taste. It’s a good choice when I’m craving pure tea. Sometimes I’ll add most of a teaspoon of honey to sweeten and soothe.

For a vocalist, throat health is vital. This relieves a sore throat like nothing else I’ve tried. It has a pretty strong, earthy but kind of sweet flavor, and tastes bitter when steeped too long. Once, when I let it get cold before I finished, it had a rather unpleasant taste.

Had some in the late evening while listening to Chopin. A nice relaxing tea, with the chamomile not too overpowering. The mint and citrus complement it nicely.

Smells deliciously sweet, like Fruit Loops. It was easy to oversteep, though, and quickly became bitter. I had an earl grey latte at Starbucks, and since Tazo is their brand, I think this was the base. The latte had the right balance of flavor and sweetness.

Just the right amount of fruity flavor. It smells delicious, and has a nice balance with the black tea. I’d love to have this in a white or green variety.

As I prefer lighter teas, I find this a little on the strong side. The bergamot flavor is strong enough to not be overpowered, though. The cafe at my school uses very hot water, so I steep it for a very short time.

Smelled and tasted quite like blueberry to me. I wanted something sweet when I was looking at teas at the store. This one could use a touch of sugar, but otherwise hit the spot.

It’s a rather light earl grey—I have yet to find one with a strong bergamot flavor. I do like milder teas, though, so it’s a good one for me, especially with the light added fruit flavors.

My favorite teas tend to be either fruit-flavored or white varieties. This one of course fills both categories, and I love it! The tea base has a delicate flavor (a plus—I like mild teas), and the berry flavors complement it nicely. One of my favorites.
