This is supposed to be flavored with bergamot and vanilla. First, I should be clear: I am not a fan of bergamot. Unfortunately, in this tea, the sole flavor is bergamot. Maybe someone, who is a Earl Grey fanatic, would be able to discern the other flavors. I could not. So as a basic Earl Grey, this would be OK. But nothing special…Sooo, I was disappointed….

This is addictive as I have been drinking this all day. This is a classic chai. No tricks and suprises like coconut, lemongrass, or chocolate. With no spice predominating it forms a smooth flavor profile.

Unexpectedly, this tastes similar to the homemade chai my yoga studio used to make for its Sunday classes. So this definitely brought back memories and may have influenced my review!

Had this iced today after working in the yard. My first iced tea this year in fact. Supposedly, in Paris, they serve this tea iced and I can see why. The florally- lemony flavors were sooo refreshing after today….

This is wonderful. No milk is needed for this herbal blend. Somehow, these flavors meld together into a mellow version of chai. Soothing drink at night. Calm and contemplative so it is easy to envision this blend being inspired by the Dalai Lama…As my first sampling of a Samovar tea, I am quite impressed…

This is a bold vanilla (and other mysteries)-flavored tea. And its flavors are strong enough to have an imperial air…

At first, it seemed slightly astringent (maybe due to the assam base), but once I added some sugar… Boy did these flavors bloom! I could detect vanilla- a lot , caramel a little bit, and even some chocolate. Somehow, these flavors combined into something else altogether!

Next time, I will try this w/milk and it is definitely strong enough to handle it…

This is a well blended tea. I can taste a slight smokiness (is this the tea? or the toastiness of the coconut) which perfectly tempers the sweetness of the coconut. The coconut does not taste artifical which is a plus. And the pouchong base, which seems milder compared to a black tea base does not overwhelm the coconut.

Thanks to SoccerMom for sending a sample of this to me and I will definitely be purchasing this and the Golden Moon sampler SOON.

This was a pleasant coconut tea experience and almost erased my first experience w/a coconut tea (Adagio’s Thai Chai) that did not go well. The spicinessof the chai called out for milk. Then, the milk, lemon grass, and coconut combo tasted like Thai Curry…

Yummy! This is another great alternative for a dessert tea for nite-time as it is decaf. W/sugar and milk, this tastes as close to chocolate (or at least like melted ice cream) as I have had in a tea… Not sure how they do it but Teavana has created another winner!!!

My first Mariage Freres tea. Upon opening the package, the tea smells lemony w/other fruity fragrances. The tea is very tangy but yet not overly strong in lemon flavor. The frangrance from the brewed tea is perfumey and is not even similar to the tea taste…

This would be excellent iced w/a little sugar thrown in….Or even frozen like a sorbet on a hot day…

This is my second green tea I had blended by a French company. And both teas manage to be subtle, sophisticated, and flavorful… At the same time, I can never identify any discrete flavors

Had this one again this evening. First cup w/chocolate milk. And you know what? It was almost bitter from have too strong of a cocoa flavor. Second cup w/skim milk and I am sure I could taste the chocolate….Such a good herbal blend…

This is a high quality, smooth and delightful green tea. Overall, it is a mild tropical flavor but this is not a one-note flavor. No single flavor predominates but each of the added flavors come together in a light manner… A highly enjoyable tea that will be perfect when the weather warms……

I like this tea. I would describe it as a mellow chai, not lots of cinnamon and not lots of cardamon flavor but really nice. I only purchased a sample of this but I think I would be willing to purchase a tin.

This is still not my “perfect chocolate” tea – maybe Florence will be the one?

Bought this on sale at California Tea House.

This tea was delicious, toasty, warm, w/lots of cinnamon. Only downside: as our temperatures heat up around here in June, I may want something lighter (but don’t hold that against the tea!)

It is what I would imagine a New England Christmas would be like- snowy, woodsy, cabin, fireplace, thick socks…(Here in Louisiana we are lucky if temperatures dip below 70F)…

Please don’t mistake this for a chai. It is something different. As this is my first holiday tea, I can’t compare it to others. But I hope to try more….

I wanted tried this one more time before giving this tea away! And I still don’t like it. It is very astringent and too strong of a hazalnut flavor. Maybe in the morning w/milk and sugar it would have been tolerable?

This is a lovely tea. It is light in color but has a full-bodied taste. But not too strong either – this is certainly no Breakfast Blend. There is no bitter tannins at all so milk is not needed. This was included in Upton Tea’s Premium Darjeeling sampler and I would definitely recommend this as a way to compare 1st flush and 2nd flush darjeelings. Of the teas included in the sampler, this was the best…

Had this tea this AM w/a little bit of milk and lots of sugar. This is the perfect way to start the day w/ a bold and assertive flavor and the brewing times aren’t too picky…. The tea tastes slightly spicy and slightly earthy…..It really is becoming my favorites and it is a bagged tea!

This really is like a low cal dessert in a cup w/a sinful banana flavor and no need to add sugar…It was perfect for my mid-afternoon treat…Come to think of it , this would be great w/chocolate milk….

I am new to tea soooo I wasn’t sure what to expect. This is a VERY MILD tea. No astringency and no vegetal flavor. A very light, light flavor but smooth. Personally, I prefer a bolder tea but for someone who likes light tea this would be a good option.

Had this tea in the AM again. I just love the bold, smoky notes in the background. With a little cream and sugar, a great way to start the day!

Hmmm- brought about 24 oz of this tea to work.. the vanilla flavor is very distinct in this tea and the black tea flavor profile is bold but not astringent. I will definitely re-order this tea.

Delicious! I decided to brew this one up right after dinner. I can taste the white tea and a subtle creamy melon flavor (sort of like a sweet cucumber to be honest). I don’t taste a distinct yogurt flavor just a slight creaminess… Even when warm, the tea seems cool and relaxing.

Really, Teaequalsbliss’ review was right “on the money”. Note: my daughter thinks the tea tastes like Pop-Rocks (lol!) but trust me, this tea does not have any type of artificial watermelon flavor at all…
