Nice herbal blend for rose and vanilla lovers, which I am!

One of my current favorite green tea blends. I like the crispness of the sencha with the spice and sweetness of the apple and cinnamon. The almond adds a bit of creaminess as well.

I always use 2 bags per cup as I like this blend strong. I love it as an after dinner tea and also as a black tea alternative at breakfast. A little honey or sugar enhances the flavor, but I don’t mind drinking it without.

Bright and fruity blend. I’ve enjoyed it as both iced and hot. I like a little sugar in mine, but it is just fine without.

Rich and sweet. Excellent with our without cream.

The bottom of this bag I am finishing off has loads of strawberry bits, and my cup is a smidge pink tonight. As always a lovely light floral fruity brew with a hint of sweetness.

Finishing off a box of this. While drinkable, and not unpleasant, I don’t think I will be buying it again.

I feel I might not be developed enough for this, but I can appreciate some of its tones and subtleties. I’ll keep playing and see how it goes. I want to buy a gong fu set for this one.

Love! Pure Love! Some of my favorite tea flavourings all rolled together with white tea and a romantic creation story. I even keep it in a tacho crane washi paper covered canister. <3

Second cup a much better than the first. I need to play around with the brew temp and time, as the instructions on the package didn’t yield a taste I like.

I hadn’t brewed this in a while, to I tired it in a cast iron pot. Just lovely. More floral this time around.

For a basic flavored tea, this is quite nice. I add a little sugar and cream, and it makes a nice dessert tea.

The minimum recommended steep time for this is 5 minutes. I have been steeping it for 7, but today I tried 10, and it made a world of difference. It was so much more rich this time around, I had to bump up the rating. If you’re on the fence about trying it, or have it at home but aren’t loving it, try a longer steep time.

I normally don’t do bagged tea, but this blend was quite nice. I brewed 2 bags in 12oz of water, and organic half & half and stevia. Just what I wanted as an after dinner treat.

I love the wine/fruit undertone of this tea. Nice and bold flavor, that holds up well in milk, but is just as good without.

The goji berries are a really unique flavor.

This is the first white tea I have EVER steeped that long, as per Rishi’s instructions. I am pleasantly surprised. This is really nice!

Nice tropical flavor while still being able to taste the green tea.

Smell is rich and muscatal with a hint of rose. Fortnum & Mason has this as a black tea on their website, and while the brew is a deep red-orange, it just doesn’t have the same bite or body of any black teas I’ve tried. Very smooth. I’m used to very light pouchongs which fall under the oolong category, so this was a nice change.
