OMG this was vile. I took one sip and had to throw it away. It tastes really artificial and overpowering. Ugh.

This was one of the first teas I ever tried, and it’s still something I (somewhat guiltily, having long since switched to loose-leaf) reach for when I’m sick. The flowery chamomile notes come through strong in aroma, but the taste is all about the honey and vanilla – so much so that my ex-girlfriend to this day makes fun of me for liking “that cookie tea” so much.

From the dry tea bag I get a creamy, light citrus, vanilla, then chamomile scent.

Once steeped, the chamomile smells stronger to me (yay).

Tastes sweet (but not too sweet), I can taste some honey, chamomile seems pretty strong, and overall everything tastes creamy and smooth without any added milk.

Great night time tea!

Probably my most drank bagged tea. Easily the best chamomile tea I’ve ever had. I like it best just to leave the bag in my cup while I drink it.

A comforting end of the day tea. Not spectacular, but nothing to complain about. I add a little extra honey to mine. The aroma is frankly the star of the show here.

This tea just tastes so strange to me. I’ve tried quite a few different chamomile blends now because it helps with my heartburn, so i don’t think it’s the strong chamomile flavor that i find off-putting. The honey/vanilla flavor tastes really artificial to me. And i was worried that the tea would taste citrusy when i first opened the box and smelled an orange-y aroma, but thankfully that isn’t the case. This tea isn’t altogether unpleasant, but my hunt for a favorite chamomile continues. I think the next step will be to try pure, whole chamomile.

It’s a sweet tea and it’s quite good for cozying up with along with a good book and a soft blanket. For some reason, it kinda tasted like buttered toast a little bit for me…

A very light and sweet taste, it made me feel like I was in a never-ending ecstasy. Although that only lasted until the cup was gone, then it was time to make more. I am a huge fan of vanilla, honey, and chamomile, because of their light and sweet flavors, so this lived up to my expectations.

A sampler pack had a few of these bags. They smell is amazing. It’s not as herbal, more of a sweet aromatic smell that reminded me of those candies I used to enjoy during a Sunday Church Service. If you’ve never tried it, you’ll appreciate it.

This teabag doesn’t have the rope, which is perfect for my Tetsubin.

Interesting. Almost a sickly sweet smell, but still good

After having a few cups of this, I have come to the conclusion I will never have the desire to finish the box of this tea I bought. The I always have to force myself to make/drink a cup. I think the honey/vanilla flavorings were a bit strange, better if added to regular chamomile tea yourself.

I am just beginning into the world of tea. And this is one a friend of mine had, I tried it and fell in love. I have made it a few times myself and never looked back. I am now venturing off into the land of tea. Hopefully I can find more like this!

Really surprised by this tea. It was so sweet that I didn’t have to add sweetner. It’s enjoyable on a slow Sunday afternoon.

It’s basically honey-water. I taste no vanilla, nor chamomile.

Celestial Seasonings never disappoints — this is another one of their teas that has a very strong flavor even in a smaller cup. 2 teaspoons of sugar and a splash of vanilla almond milk makes this a perfect cup for me. The honey is strong enough that you notice it without being overpowering like some honey teas. The vanilla is harder to distinguish, even with the vanilla almond milk, but it definitely contributes to the overall flavor. Overall, while I generally enjoy my caffeinated black teas in the morning, this has made a wonderful cup of “wake me up” this morning without the addition of caffeine. It seems counterintuitive coming from chamomile, but it really does help me meet the day with a smile.

The scent is sweet, and I usually like chamomile, but if there is any vanilla in this, I can’t taste it. Isn’t chamomile naturally honey-like though? Not bad if you’re in the mood for a chamomile tea.

I never thought I’d find a chamomile that I’d like; the smell is usually way too overpowering to me. Well, I was very wrong; this tea is a decent mix of sweet honey, fragrant vanilla, and chamomile. Naturally sweet, but not too much.

A nice combination of flavors.
