Somehow I forgot I’d reviewed this before, so I picked some more up – Mostly because I’m super-sensitive to caffeine when I’m pregnant, but I really crave chai in the fall. Anyway, this was just as lackluster as I remember. I may try throwing it in with a bag of the gold cup chai. That will either be a good combination. Ah well, at least I only picked up 10 bags, and I’m putting together an Herbal and Decaf box right now, so maybe someone else will like this.

I’ve tried a number of Stash’s teas and I’ve been underwhelmed by all except for Raspberry Hibiscus (great as an iced tea).
I don’t like many of their fruity herbals since they all contain licorice root, but I’ve tried almost all of their teas now (their sampler packs are great for that), and there’s about a dozen that I enjoyed. I think my favorites were Cinnamon Apple Chamomile, Decaf Vanilla Chai, Black Forest, and Holiday Chai. I picked up most of these with my last order, so we’ll see if I still feel the same way after ten cups as I did after one.
Perhaps I’ll need to try some more varieties of theirs! From what I remember I’ve tried 6 different fruit herbals for iced tea (and as mentioned, the only one I like is Raspberry Hibiscus) and there was an organic green ginger tea which was only okay. Nothing super gross in the mix; just meh.
I tend to keep some bagged teas around. Stash I mostly like for their flavored teas. Especially since they have more variety in their decaf flavors than most brands. (although I did like the Cinnamon Apple Chamomile and Meyer Lemon). For fruity herbals I tend to go for Celestial Seasonings. If you like Hibiscus, I would recommend trying a few of their zinger teas. I loved The Watermelon Lime and Tangerine Orange were favorites this summer. Their (non-hibistus) Mandarin Orange Spice, and Jammin Lemon Ginger are also quite good. Their black and rooibos teas, as well as anything that uses their apple flavoring are pretty much undrinkable to me, so I don’t recommend those.
I LOVE True Blueberry and Black Cherry from Celestial Seasonings as iced tea. Some of the best iced tea I’ve ever had (and my goodness is it cheap!).
Perhaps I should pick up some decaf green from Stash once my Tetley decaf runs out. Thanks for the recommendations!

I actually have yet to try Black Cherry. It’s generally not one of my favorite flavors. I like True Blueberry quite a bit, even though it tastes more like grape to me.
You’re welcome!
