It was a sad, sad day when my Cinnamon Raisin Toast tea ran out. Happily, I did get more in the recent reblending.

What can i say? This is, without a doubt, one of the smoothest, most well balanced flavored teas I have ever had. I only wish I could keep on drinking it without dreading the day it will run out again.

Pretty good. Green base is good, although i’m not tasting enough of neither the ginseng or the apricot. The packaging says to use 1 tsp per cup and steep for 2 minutes. I think next time I will use more tea, see if I can strengthen this up a little.

over time, this has become my comfort tea. it’s like a warm, soft sofa. If i’m in a bad mood, stressed or just want something i know will hit all the right spots.

The first two times I drank this, I did not like it at all. Nothing particular that I could put my finger on, just an overall “not for me” feeling. I am new to pu-erh an. The rest of the sample sat in my cupboard for about 6 months, until recently I decided to give it one more chance.

The firs two infusions were, again, not to my taste (yes, I rinsed the leaves twice). I either put too much leaf, or else I am doing something else wrong with this tea. It was way to strong, too astringent. (both were 15 sec infusions)

HOWEVER, I somehow pushed through to the third infusion and bam! the tea became something else altogether. It’s fresh and energizing. I can’t stop drinking. I am on my seventh or eight infusion and it just gets better. I’m not good with the flavor descriptions, but this tea is good!

Now I’m still wondering what it is that i did wrong with the first 2 infusions. Anyone?
But I am sure going to be ordering some more of this. And I am going to increase my previous rating.

I adore rooibos, but I’m not too fond of apricots, so i was a little skeptic about this tea. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a robust, slightly spicy brew. Not too spicy and not too fruity. I would never have considered putting apricots and cinnamon together, but it works well. I made a huge pot this morning at work, and the sweet smell from the hot tea has hung around all day. Makes me want to drink more tea.

Another awesome tea . I was never a fan of flavored blacks, however, i am quickly becoming one with each 52teas tea that i taste. With a touch of milk, it’s sweet and gently nutty, and somehow really captures the ice-creamy-y taste.

I waited a long time to get this tea, the post in our little backwards country being sometimes funky. But Frank was great with reshipping a lost package, and I finally got my tea. WOW was it ever worth the wait. This tea is amazing. It’s like dessert in a cup. It’s great both black and with milk. And, as many have said before me, it really does taste like buttered cinnamon raisin toast. This is going on my select “Ultimate Favorites” list.

A very smooth oolong.

I made this tea 3 times, using different amounts of leaves each time (it’s hard to estimate the amount, as it’s packed so tightly), and I found the amount that suits me. I’m no pu erh expert, but this is one excellent cup of tea. It’s woody, but light, and very soothing. I somehow feel stronger and healthier after a few cups of this. Lasted for about 5 infusions. I only ordered a small sample, but now think I need a much larger quantity of this tea.

I liked this tea a lot, when i first drank it. However I didn’t realize just how much I had liked it, until a few days after my little sample was finished, when I started to really crave more of that gentle smoky taste. I think I need to give it a higher rating that I originally had.

My all-time favorite tea. Wonderful hot or iced. Smooth, fruity and relaxing

In a word: EXCELLENT. The rooibos and vanilla oolong compliment each other wonderfully. A very relaxing tea.
