This stuff definitely packs a punch, and I do enjoy that aspect of it, but only on occasion. This is not an everyday tea.

It has definitely got me thru this bout of bronchitis! Not much tastes right, but this hits the spot.

Sweet and oddly tangy. I drank the whole cup to be polite because it came with lunch, but I was not a fan.

This may be my most favorite tea for my entire early twenties. About five years of them. I drink this one nearly scalding hot, best in a glass container. It’s sweet and smooth and perfect just as it is. The citrus is everywhere but never aggressive. Its one of the perfect rare ones.

Bland and faintly sour. Tastes like orange-flavored chamomile.

I brewed this in a small pot, so that I could taste it at intervals through the steeping…
The recommended five minute brew-time in an 8 oz mug with boiling water is absolute ridiculousness, as this tea gets strong fast. It was brewed quite strong two minutes in in a 16 oz pot with nearly-boiling water.
Upon tasting this tea, it’s slightly reminiscent of the Orange Spice tea by Bigelow, albeit much, much better. It has an almost-Orange Starburst taste, minus the sour flavour. All around a decent-tasting tea, but not something I would drink daily.

Brewed another (eight cup) pot of this tonight to go with an evening of reading. Quite pleasant, with just the right among of tartness to balance the sweet.

Brewed this in an eight cup pot last night. With enough steeping, one teabag can make an entire eight cups, and it does not become over-strong or over-bitter.

Working through the second half of the first two cup pot I’m not as sure about my feelings for this tea as I was when I began. When the tea first hits the tongue it does have a slightly heavy tone on the sides of the tongue, which is something that always characterized Bigelow’s Orange Spice for me, as well as something that I didn’t particularly care for in that tea. I’m glad this tea only releases tart notes on the back of the tongue, because tartness upon the drink first entering the mouth would have turned me off almost immediately. One bonus is that this tea has quite the pleasant aftertaste…

Very orangy. Not sure about how it goes with my peanut buttered toast, but since I have the rest of the box I’ll drink it again.
