Oddly, last time I said this was my favorite, and not too sweet…

Today I am saying; “this is not my fave of theirs, as it’s a bit too sweet for me, but anyone looking for a Southern Sweet tea alternative would probably like it.”

cold brewed overnight in vanilla coconut milk for a cold, creamy treat. yum!

I don’t know exactly how much milk and sugar my hubby added to my mug, but it was PERFECT this am. Sweet, creamy , floral. A heavenly cup of tea for a Sunday morning

Had a big mug this am (the Copco mug I won from bite of the Best, actually) with milk and sugar. It definitely helped wake me up! My tin is almost gone (maybe 6-7 tsp left?) but I have plenty of Paris to drink when it’s gone, plus some Lavender Earl Grey (Revolution), and a ton of Tippy Earl Grey (GM) that I won recently but haven’t opened…

Meh. Rather heavy, for a white tea, and a bit bitter, for a sweetened tea. Won’t buy again.

prepared using “So Delicious” brand vanilla flavored, sweetened coconut milk (I sifted the matcha first to get most of the sugar out, since it’s a sweetened milk – I’ll use the matcha sugar as yogurt or ice cream topping or something else)

this actually smelled like chocolate and rose, and tasted a bit that way too. I appreciate the complexity, but would only drink this once in a blue moon.

just as you finish tasting the sweet watermelon, the mint cuts in with it’s refreshing zing. This is the most unique, and refreshing of the Rooibee blends. I think it’s my favorite simply because it brings something unique to the mix, and it keeps your tastebuds engaged and the flavor combo stimulates your brain. At least my brain feels that way…

It is a bit weak in the flavor dept. (as others have mentioned), but at least I knew to expect that. Basically a smooth, light green tea with a hint of tropical flavor. I prefer the stronger flavor of their strawberry & vanilla, but this isn’t terrible, and would probably be good iced.

note: I opened the sachet and dumped it into my mesh basket style steeper. Also used about 6 oz water because I couldn’t stand to use only 4oz …

slightly bitter, will steep for less time next time. Looking forward to finishing my bags and trying the full leaf sachets. May order the real deal this fall (drinking last year’s batch now – less than ideal)

Meh. It’s a black w/ natural flavors. I needed caffeine this a.m. and wanted one that I could go light on the sugar (1/2 packet sugar in the raw) and no milk, so this fit the bill.

Note to self: don’t make a cup of tea and drink it right after brushing/flossing/Listerining! The minty aftertaste really takes a while to go away…

From what my confused tastebuds can tell due to the above, it’s ok but nothing special. Smooth, but the tropical/peach flavors are nondescript. Would probably be better iced, as they advise. Maybe the hint of flavors would be more noticeable that way.

I didn’t know what to expect when I picked this up at a discount store, but was encouraged by the real pear pieces.

It’s a smooth rooibos (i.e. not too woody), the pear tastes fresh & juicy, and the vanilla comes across more as a mellow creamy note than a noticeable vanilla. It all blends together well and tastes like some sort of rich dessert – pears with cream, basically. It tastes like it has milk in it,even though I’m drinking it plain. I like it better than I expected to, but couldn’t drink it daily. I bet it would be great iced though!

made a big mug with frothed milk on top. MMMmmm. Very soothing. A simple treat.

I like this one – maybe my fave so far. I had a few swigs, then put the rest in tupperware int eh freezer for 30 min. Transferred to my VillaWare ice cream makers for 20 min. Result = Red Tea Peach Granita. Smooth, fluffy and refreshing. Or maybe it’s a sorbet. I’m not clear on the difference. I ran it on on low for first 15 min, then high for 5. It’s soft and airy like a shave ice.

opened the sachet and brewed in a basket since the leaves always seem so cramped. These are some big, whole leaves! The flavor is definitely stronger this way.

The dry tea in the sachet smells like strawberry milk (i.e. strong strawberry, but a bit artificial), but once brewed it smells more like cut berries. The flavors of vanilla, strawberry, and green tea seems to be melded perfectly. No one overpowers, but I can pick each out if I try. I can see how this may be good with a drop of milk, because it does taste like the green tea equivalent of strawberry milk (seems to be a theme for me today, as I had Strawberry Sensation Carnation Instant Breakfast with some added matcha this morning!).

I really like this tea, and wish I had more of it (it was a Lupicia free sample — with my order).

used 2 tsp for 8 oz as directed. Dry blend smells like all good tropical things. Couldn’t taste much when hot – expcept my tongue kept detecting a hint of “mint” even though I don’t think there’s any in there.

Chilled the mug and came back to it later. This time the coconut jumped right out, but the rest of the fruits seemed muddled. And I was still getting a hint of mint. Then again, papaya is a weird flavor for me. I think this is a good tea, from everybody’s notes. I just need to play with it more, and try to make sense of what my tongue is telling me. Sometimes my taste buds just have an off day, and I think this was one of those times, so I’m holding off rating.

smooth and sweet, the flavors all blend well together. tastes a bit sweeter than the others, but I guess that’s just the honey flavor (there’s no actual honey in the ingredients though, just organic cane sugar and natural flavor)

I also finally remembered to shake the bottle this time!
