This is the only tea that calls me back to Teavana.

The cinnamon is just lovely. Though it tends to over power the other spices. I like the hint of pineapple I get.

An excellent tea to wake up with.

This tea has opened my eyes to green teas in general. I never really thought I would enjoy a green much but this is really good.

The roasted rice bits in there almost make me feel that I’m eating some thing with my tea. They don’t overwhelm the tea, which is bonus.

It does well with multiple steepings.

I feel this is a very comforting tea. Not too complex just very relaxing. Some thing to enjoy on a day that’s been less than stellar.

I pulled this one out tonight just for some thing different than the flavored teas we’ve been drinking. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it.
For a black tea, I find it incredibly light and crisp. There is a floral hint in there. To my surprise, I find it very relaxing.

This is a particularly cozy tea for me. Great for days when you’ve been out in the cold all day. The base tea still shines through the rum flavor.
I’d keep it around just to try on people who are new to tea. The taste isn’t too complex. It’s a great tea to relax with.
Forever more this is pirate tea. It reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Pirates of the Caribbean.

Very smooth and mellow. I missed the nutty flavors in this one. I picked up the chocolate though.
Not my cup of tea. It’s just too mellow.

This is another favorite tea of mine.
It’s not nearly as creamy as the Red Rocks, but it does have a stronger vanilla flavor. The hint of chamomile is a pleasant surprise. It blends very nicely with the vanilla and rooibos.
For me this tea is quite a bit sweeter than most of the vanilla rooibos I’ve tried. This may be an important consideration for others.
Some thing else to ruminate on is price. This particular vanilla rooibos is one of the cheaper teas. Red Rocks is considerably higher priced. I have found that it is just a good steeped 4 or 5 times as the first. Red Rocks falls a bit shorter on that. I get 3 good steepings with it.

I expected a lot from this blend. I pick up the chocolate and a sweet, medicinal syrup flavor. If I didn’t know better I’d swear I was drinking chocolate flavored cough syrup. I missed the vanilla entirely. Maybe roasted mate isn’t for me. This particular tea is definitely not for me. My finance took it in to work and gave it to a co-worker who loves it.

I am pretty impressed with this tea despite the confusion of getting instead of the tea I ordered.
The cinnamon flavor didn’t overwhelm the other spices. I really enjoyed the nutmeg as an addition. I was surprised to find I could taste the other spices in this chai! Teavana seems to have trouble finding balance of the spices in their chais.
I really enjoy chais for all the flavors they blend together. Since this tea has done a good job of that, I’m rating it high.

I had high hopes for this tea. The leaves smell very good.
I found that upon brewing the flavor didn’t equate to the scent of the tea leaves. I can taste a hint of cinnamon and cardamom. I was surprised the rooibos didn’t present stronger.
I found a strange after taste with this. I can’t really put my finger on what it is but I definitely don’t expect to encounter it while sipping tea.
I found this tea too tame for the ingredients listed. I would suggest it to someone who wants a mellow tea to relax with in the evening.

This is one of my favorites. None of the flavors over powers any of the others. Coconut, vanilla and chocolate are a very good mix in my opinion. It is also very creamy.
The rooibos and Nilgiri compliment each other well.
Very nice dessert tea.

I bought this tea to blend with a couple others in my quest of replacing the old Thai tea from Teavana. This tea is good enough on it’s own though.
It is definitely a coconut tea. What I really enjoy about this one is that it actually tastes of real coconuts. Perhaps the flakes are responsible.
The tea base is a bit woody but very mellow. It just pops up to let you know it’s there.
There is a creamy taste as well. Maybe those coconut flakes again.
Over all a good tea that isn’t very complicated. It tastes exactly like it should.

This tea is pretty hard to explain for me. There some complex flavors in it I may not have encountered before. I do enjoy it and would like to keep it stocked.
I notice strawberry first. Immediately after I identified strawberry, I found a tartness I can not relate to in any other of my experiences. It may be the strawberry bits. There is a spice taste that is reminiscent of cinnamon. I don’t think it is cinnamon though. There is crisp flavor I lack the vocabulary to describe.
I may not have encountered it before. There is a pleasant after taste of strawberry lip gloss.
I find this tea light, fruity and very mysterious. I should rename it pixie or fairy tea.

I’m a big fan of the rooibos and honeybush teas. I really love vanilla too. I didn’t pick up the vanilla so much in this tea. It does have a creamy taste to it. It has the spicy residual flavor I expect from rooibos or honeybush.

I definitely taste the mint in this tea. Having said that, I think the mint is an extract. It has a funny almost medicinal flavor. I smell the cocoa more than taste it. It’s there just not in the same strength as the mint. Not a bad tea but I like my Moroccan Mint much better.

A friend gave us this tea to try and I’m so glad she did. I am really disappointed to learn it was discontinued. I have looked many places trying to find a replacement, but have failed so far.
I think the black and rooibos teas balance each other out especially when combined with the coconut, almonds and vanilla. Sweet, smooth and mellow. I really enjoy this tea.

I was excited to try an orange spice since my fiance really enjoys it. We bought a pound of it off of amazon to our disappointment.
I had a hard time picking up the orange flavor. There was a bitterness that may have been orange peel. I also picked up a candy taste for lack of a better term. Like the old christmas candy in the paper bags with out the peppermint. I failed to pick up any spice in it.

Again more of that lovely cinnamon, with an interesting orange note. A nice tea to snuggle up with on a cold day.

With my first steeping I pick up pineapple and cinnamon. It always reminds me of the ewoks except they are little cinnamon bears dancing around.
My second steeping I could detect the cardamom and anise I believe. It still tastes mostly of pineapple and cinnamon with the cinnamon being the strongest flavor.
I think this is one of the best teas to wake up to in the morning. It will definitely perk a person up.

Since my previous experience with this tea left me overwhelmed, I added a little ceylon in the tea pot. Wow! What a change. Once the cloves simmer down, this is actually a pretty good tea. I think I shall try it with colonille next time. That should be an interesting mix.

I enjoy chais for the variety of flavors presented to me in each sip.
This brews up a rich dark brown color, darker than most I’ve tried recently.
The aroma while brewing speaks to me of clove and cardamom.
With my first sip, I’m overwhelmed by pepper. I did notice clove and cardamom after the tea had cooled some though.
