Did I mention that I ordered the sampler from Golden Moon? The one with a sample of every tea they carry? It comes in a really pretty box as well.

This tea is wonderful!! After it brews it smells like TEA. I think that when the aliens come to earth and ask about tea, this might be a good one to give them.

I had forgotten that this was in the cabinet!!! I needed something to warm me up, and this is doing the trick. (I know it’s not as cold here in Florida as it is in some other places, but I am not used to this weather!)

Nice summery strawberries and black tea. What’s not to like?

I’m not a huge fan of rooibos, I can’t drink it without some kind of flavoring, but this is one that I like. It has a nice peachy aroma and taste. The vanilla is nice as well, and is easily enhanced with my favorite liquid vanilla stevia from the local health food store.

I can’t believe I’m the first one to try this! It has a really nice tart hibiscus flavor. The other ingredients don’t come forward and say “Hi!” but they do kind of moderate the hibiscus.

This is a nice tea, and it will be a good afternoon treat.

This is the second time I’ve tried this tea. The first time was before I joined Steepster and was in no way a success! The first time, I used an artificial sweetner and it brought out the taste of the rose petals to the point where the tea was just about undrinkable. This time, I tasted the tea unsweetener first. I still didn’t like it, but it was better. I added a few drops of liquid vanilla stevia, and decided it would do. It’s not a tea I’ll be reordering. It’s got too much rose for my tastes.

I didn’t drink this on it’s own. I had some Yuzu Sencha from Lupicia and added some of the hibiscus during a second steeping. I like hibiscus, but I think it needs to be mixed with some other flavors, it’s a little much on it’s own.

Smells really good. I can’t wait to try it!

Smells good! Looks good! Tastes good. The green tea flavor is just barely there, but it is a second steeping, so I’m not too surprised at that. The citrusy yuzu is still present as well. The hibiscus takes center stage, but it’s not a monologue when it’s mixed with the green tea. I like it as a part of an ensemble. This is definitely something I’ll drink again.

This is a great tea to dunk into a travel mug and sip on while trying to get teenagers to shut up!!

Doesn’t do anything to get them quiet, but it helps my disposition somewhat.

No notes yet.

The was a very light tasting tea with a hint of green apple. The apple taste was tart and sour. I infused it a second time, and that infusion had more of a green tea flavor than an apple flavor. A nice tea, but I like something a little more assertive.

I’ll sure be sad when my sample of this is used up! Great strong black tea with a good peach flavor.

Maybe I’ll order an 8 oz.

Drank this with my spaghetti at supper. It was nice. It’s been a favorite of mine for a while, and it’s handy to carry something good in a tea bag!

I decided that I wanted to try something new, so I took this out of the cupboard. First impressions were of ginger and almond. Smelled like it needed some sweetner and milk!! The rooibos was very fine, so I brewed it using a paper filter. I tried some straight, and decided to add some vanilla stevia and some vanilla coffee creamer. (I wanted to add milke, but it had gone sour!!)

Very nice, I imagine this will be good mixed with some of the other teas I have in the cupboard to spice them up some!

I may just become an addict to this one. I need to try some of the similar teas.

Drinking this at breakfast time is kind of like having chocolate cake for breakfast. It seems a little decadent, but soo good!

Not too bad, not too good.

It’s a koolaide kind of tea. I kind of like those, even though they are not always very grownup.

This is so much better with milk!! That’s the only way I’m drinking it from now on. With milk, it’s not so overwhelmingly floral.

Nice, light flavor. Almost too light, but maybe I haven’t quite caught on to the correct way to brew this one!

The licorice root comes on very strong with this tea. I can’t taste the chocolate at all, but sometimes it reminds me just a little bit of Dr. Pepper. In a good way.

I needed the extra caffeine, so I made a matcha latte with a dash of cinnamon and a little honey. Yum!

First tea of the new year! Great as always.

Really good mixed with the Strawberry Lemonade. I’m looking forward to trying this one on it’s own after my mix is used up.

Earl Grey for breakfast again!! Love this tea. Perfect for any morning.
