Mr. Tea

This is a mild tea, not bad but did not catch my attention either. The aroma of fruit and honey is very nice.

I usually steeped it for a few minutes but I decided to steep it for about 20 minutes with my last bag. It did bring out more flavor but was still could not bring forth enough in my opinion. I do tend to like flavorful teas so I am sure many will like it since it is mild and smooth but still has a slight fruit and honey taste.

I love Champagne, so I really love drinking this tea. This is one of my favorite Lupicia Teas so far.

Care must be taken to avoid over-steeping this tea. Some teas taste fine if you steep a bit longer than usual, but to get the most out of this tea, I think 3 minutes is optimal. Otherwise, the bitterness will overbear the strawberries and champagne.

This is a fairly mild tea in my opinion. I went through an entire loose leaf bag and had a hard time writing a review.

The flavor is balanced so that nothing really stands out; or maybe it is too subtle for my palate. I do tend to like flavorful things :) You can taste the Rooibos and hint of peach but I’ve drank cups of this without remembering what it tasted like =\

I’d swear there are real cherries in my mug after I poured the hot water in. It is not overly sweet and isn’t sour regardless of the very strong aroma after steeping. When the tea is hot, there is a taste that is interfering with the cherry flavor – when it cools down a bit (still very warm), it isn’t as pronounced though.

This is an interesting and fun tea. It reminds me of Marukawa grape gum from when I was a kid. It has a mellow grape taste that stays on your tongue for a while~ although I would not drink this all the time, it is a nice tea once in a while.

I went through 10 Apple teabags and I think this is a good tea. It has a sweet apple flavor but I can still taste the black tea. I believe I steeped it too long a few times because I was getting a very slight astringency.

Received a sample from the Lupicia newsletter~

It has a nice aroma before and after steeping.

A nice tea – the strawberry flavor is just about right; you can still taste the black tea in the background while the strawberries are present throughout.

I think this might go well with milk and sugar. In the hot summer months, it might be perfect straight and chilled (need to try this in a few months)

This is my favorite tea so I gave it a 100~ haven’t had a better tea so far.

It has a smooth, and slightly creamy flavor. The Orange and Vanilla blend well to make a refreshing tea without the caffeine. This is the tea that got me interested in Rooibos as a caffeine free alternative to Black Tea.

I’ve only had a few different rooibos teas and I’ve liked them all until this one. This actually reminds me of Asian barley/corn tea~ it might be the chestnut that I find overpowering that is reminding me of the sweet, raw corn taste. The tea is much finer than tea leaves so I used a third of what I normally scoop~ steeped at 195F @ 4minutes (Rating: 35)

Update: Okay, so I tried different steeping times and amount of tea; I did 1/6 of what normally scoop for tea, 195F @ 2 minutes and it came out a lot milder than before. I’m going to change my rating to 45~

Smooth and Creamy~ I really enjoyed this tea. I usually drink about 4-6 mugs of tea a day. I don’t know why but this particular tea stains my teeth very easily.

I’ve since switched to some other brands (Ronnefeldt, Lupicia) without any stains while still enjoying the 4-6 mugs a day.

Taste wise, I’d rate this as 9/10 but I’m going to drop a point b/c of the stains. I had to get my teeth cleaned 3 times in six months.
