well i must say , there is always a FIRST!! of tasting notes and i’m IT!! i came across this tea out of the discussion boards in request of how to get some “Linden Tea” – tommytheToad was more than open to exchange this precious commodity with some of my David’s tea and Mighty Leaf stash.

now to the actual taste…the aroma is definetely flowery. like a fresh boquet to be exact, it has a light sweet taste to it, but i’m just more than happy to drink it!! i learned that Linden tea carries a lot of health properties, and i’m graciously appreciating the trusted community of steepster in helping me connect with this lovely tea. so yes i would recommend this tea…there is nothing stark or hard or herbal about it….just a nice light taste and an aroma of walking through the garden on a mid summer’s afternoon….a dream after all :)

many thanks again to TommytheToad!! :)

mmmmmm. berry berry. this is REAL Berry. like, straight up from the woods, which reminds me, i enjoyed this tea 2 Go in a travel mug as i walked the trails on a late summer evening. Wow, talk about one with nature…the tea i mean…cranberries, blackcurrants, almost like trying to describe a dark wine [which i don’t drink but i’m sure would taste similar] mysterious. intruiging. and delightful company in the bush [minus the bugs, lol]. i didn’t add anyting to this tea, but it is the kinda to sit and simmer sip on a long summer walk for sure.

ok… so me and chai, yeah a few years ago we hit it off really well in a local coffehouse…oh that sweet rustic aroma, cupping my hands in that yellow mug…infused with memories….
now years later, and many teas later… i don’t know if it’s me, or the tea, but i think chai’s have been saying to me , “Chow babe”.

don’t get me wrong, there is always room in a mug for chai…i think perhaps maybe it was the milk ratio, not quite balanced…because it only brought back memories of a long lost chai…and never connected since….

oh yes, the review – to any chai lover, this will do the thing. but to one who has had only former memories of chai, my suggestion, if you let it go, and the chai comes back…it’s true chai ;).

LOVE EARL GREY. LOVE LAVENDER…. . i think this was an interesting combo…i could see this being used to have a “spa” day, you know the kind where you need to feel like you are the king or queen of the day of lucious nothingness to do but just relax and BE. i could defintely taste the notes of lavender in the earl grey, but my milk/sugar combo only delightfully enhanced the experience. i used mine in a tea-4-1 set as it generously gave two whole cups worth, the flavour is rich. Very worthy of a book read, a bath, or just a silent moment with one’s self :)

So with the infamous samples do i dare begin with this one. hmmmmmmm….seriously that was the first reaction to smell and taste! thought not a big “breakfast” tea fan, i found this one quite enjoyable and most avoidable of the dreded “punch” aftertaste most breakfast teas leave you hurting like you had one too many at the pub :P . there was no aftertaste, but just blissed joy of good creme overtones that made you want to dye your hair red and wait for your William Wallace to come! :D . i enjoyed my cup with two raw sugars and skim milk. My also interesting joy was that the tea sachets of pyramid style were cute as they would float in the centre as a triangle and dance around the mug until it semi sunk in…which to me it’s a neat way to know the steep is good and done! This has been a GREAT first tea taste of EPI TEA…make one your own…go GET IT!! :)

mmmmmm just finished watching a Kawarthan Sunset of brilliant blazes of orange…and savoured the moment with a tall mug of my precious commodity of StrawRubarb Crumble….yes, life can be this sweet :) ….

hm….didn’t realy wow me. maybe be more fun as a slushy flavor? cuz it’s still water…

delictable sweet notes, this is not a strong sweet tea but just nice enough to enjoy inthe morning to avoid the cinnamon rolls and enjoy some green nectar goodness for your health and soul. a suttle pick me up when the emotional tank is depleted. kinda like the feeling when you watch someone put the sprinkles and chocolate syrup onyour sundae :) But don’t take my word for it, have a cup yourself!!!

been enjoying this tea since i receieved it for Christmas…good for an anytime straight up oolong tea…rich and pure just the way it is

i recieved this tin with 9 other tetley flavours for christmas…this has been a joy to drink and totally reccomend to those who want the GREEN KICK without the Green taste lick!! [those who labour in drinking straight green tea will know what i mean!] it’s nice, keeps your breath fresh and helps any tummy after a heavy meal. two pinky’s up and a mug full of love!! :)

curling up with a rich stoney grey mug that takes two hands to hold…drinking in this delight as i view the lake landscape covered in a winter wonderland….i luv Canada. But i love this tea more!! MMMM!!

Oh My. Just went earl Grey did me in…they had to add a citrus twist. Very Divine, very Lovely. Very Lady Like. Lady Grey, i raise my pinkie to you and endulge every sip! Cheerio!! LUVV IT!

nice cinnamon tea – maybe i’ll try with Hot Chocolate? hmmmm….

i tried just a sample of this tea…not my zing…maybe it needs more zang. anywhoo did not taste my tastebuds…smells great…tastes , ick… :(

my all time favourite go to bed Tea….it seems to balance myself everytime i drink this…i always wake up stable….not in a dread or too perky…just awwwwhhhh, alright… :) . i totally recommend this to anyone to try, the peppermint is a nice touch as well. overall very nice.

ok this is a staple in my collection now…so light and refreshing….can’t go wrong!! :)

Very Nice. Light, and oh so fruity :) . and if you have yet to experience the joy of DAVIDsTEA – i dare you to….a little cup goes a loooong way…

i must say their pomegranate White Tea was very refreshing. Light and pleasureable. and it costed only .44 cents for 4 or 5 cups worth. when i find more i will update this more. but did enjoy it thoroughly.

I discovered this tea while at a friend’s cottage. I was the first one up and noticed the tea in the cupboard so i made myself a cup…@5am and watched the sunrise over the lake. Simply, beautiful. The Tea , delightful. Ever since, i know that whatever day it is…i can enjoy this cup in a simple moment. And you can’t say no to a good green tea either ;).

Enjoyed another cuppa with my tea mate! We enjoy thoroughly our teas on our special day, Tea Tuesday!! some brown sugar made it just all themore sweet :) . Love Tea Tuesdays, it was perfect dessert treat to dinner!! spare the brownies, -pass the pot !!! :)

Nice crisp taste…would be great hot or iced. and a good alternative to lemonade :)
