Tangerine Dream (Organic)

One of the factors I consider in a tea rating and review is how long after I drink the tea that I actually write the review, and how well I remember it in that time. If I’m still thinking “Oh God, that tea was freaking amazing”, that tea was freaking amazing. If I’m sitting here trying to figure out what the tea tasted like at all, that’s not really a good thing. Unfortunately, this tea was definitely the latter.

It did have a very juicy aftertaste, but it was strangely not thirst-quenching. The green was a bit bitter and left my mouth feeling very dried-out. It was alright, but not fantastic.

Generic and dupeable. As much as it breaks my heart to say it, that is my impression of this one. It smells like an orange tinted earl, and that’s basically what it tastes like, except I didn’t get as much tangerine as I’d’ve liked. If you’re a fan of Earls, especially green leaf ones, then give this one a shot. It is a good tea, and you may find that you fall hard for it. But if you’re only a mediocre earl fan like myself, you may want to give this one a pass.

This was kinda meh. The flavours melded well together, but nothing really stood out for me. I do get a little tangerine taste but I would like it to be stronger. Maybe I will try a longer steep next time.

This is one of DTs new citrus teas. It smells like orange peel, so I didn’t want to try it when it first came out, but I drank it today and it was really good. Like eating an orange…a hot cup of orange Tgere was a bit of a green tea taste as well, but for the most part ot was just citrusy.

This one wasn’t on my list today, but it sat on the counter staring at me until I finally gave in and asked for 10g.

It smells almost peppery? Is that right? Perhaps that’s the lemongrass. I don’t think I’m really enjoying this one too much. I have enough for another round so I’ll have to try it iced.

This was my first venture into green tea. For years I turned my nose up at green tea because I thought it was gross and grassy. I got talked into buying this at davids awhile ago and really enjoy it. It definitely has a grassy flavour but its not unpleasant. I like that I dont have to add any sugar to it to make it taste good. I cant really taste any tangerine though which is a bummer. I dont have much.. ok anything to compare this to but I do like it.

I LOVE citrus in anything and everything so I was super excited about DT doing a whole line just for citrus addicts like me!

I never felt like they had enough citrus variety or it just wasn’t strong enough or too strong in a wellness tea kind of way.

This smells just lovely the oil of Tangerine really doing it’s part to come through and tickle me with just a low toasty note that really accents the citrus in an interesting way.

Taste is decent and citrusy but doesn’t blow me away.

The toasty notes are alright but maybe they take away from the citrus experience I wanted.

This will be good green tea cupboard stock until it runs out.
Don’t think I’ll buy again though unless I warm up to it in the future.

Good lemongrass notes and with a really nice sweetness to it. It’s a tiny bit murky & the tangerine flavours are a teeny bit bitter (from the peel possibly?) – but overall a very serviceable green tea. Definitely worth trying.

When I first saw the description of this one I had really high hopes as the ingredients seemed very similar to The Countess of Seville which is a personal favourite. Sadly, not only was it missing the characteristic bergamont oil flavour of an Earl Grey, I also found the flavour it did have was not something I enjoyed. My impression was that this is a little citrus tea that I am sure many people will enjoy iced when the weather gets a little warmer.

Not really a lot of tangerine specifically, but I do really like it. There is a lot of citrus going on, and the green tea is nice too. The wife got me some for Christmas and I just had to order some more.
