Wild Orange Blossom

I got this tea mostly as a mixer, but have had it on it’s own a couple times and really just don’t care for it. I guess I just don’t like my tea to be mainly citrus. The first time I had it plain, I almost felt like I was drinking hot orange juice, so the next time I had it I tried it iced, and still just didn’t really care for it. Now I don’t even like it mixed with other stuff. Luckily I only bought 1oz. Lesson learned.

Got a sample in my Birthday gift, steep it and fall in love!
I can’t wait to receive my order from Teavana, :)

It’s an orange flavour, this iced tea is soooo good
Come on mail man…!!

This is like orange juice but without any of the goodness of juice. I tried it both hot and iced, and it’s just sort of… hollow.

I love hibiscus and rose, so while this tea has a strong flavor it’s very enjoyable for me. The citrus taste is also strong, but it gives it a natural sweetness. Great tea for summer. Haven’t mixed it with anything else yet.

One of the best teas by Teavana. It’s not only delicious, but it will leave your place with that refreshing citrus scent after you steep it. My preset for herbal teas is 7 minutes with boiling water, then I add some honey and magic happens. I wish you sweet dreams after having this one, you will feel soothed and relaxed!

This is tart like pink grapefruit and has the undertones of beets. It’s too citrusy for my liking.

I love this as a iced tea, as a hot tea it is pretty bad.

Pretty good! Subtle orange flavor. Lacking a touch of sophistication.

This tea smells absolutely divine. You can smell notes of citrus, orange, and grapefruit. After brewing, it still retains the smell of the dry tea. The taste is a light bitter citrus, but improves with sweetener. The taste is not as defined as the smell, but you can still taste the orange and grapefruit and there is a slight sour berry taste (almost like cherry). Despite the citrus flavour, it seems to be a relaxing blend, perfect for after a heavy meal.

This is a herbal tisane.

1.5 tsp in 8oz water
Smell of dry tea: very aromatic, notes of citrus, orange and grapefruit.
Appearance of dry tea: various different sized pieces of dried fruit, apple slices, orange peel, and flower petals.
Appearance of steeped tea: deep ruby red colour, dense.
Smell of steeped tea: aromatic, light citrus smell, more bitter citrus than sweet citrus.
Taste of steeped tea: citrus fruits, orange, grapefruit, slight sour cherry taste. Bitter. With rock sugar (one piece), sweeter taste. Light and refreshing.

Something about this tea I just don’t like. I can’t quite put my finger on it.

This one had a lot of potential to be a Celestial Seasonings Zinger clone, but I was intrigued enough to try it at a steep discount by the inclusion of beetroot and chunks of dried grapefruit. And sure enough, it’s much better than any Zinger. The hibiscus dominates as it tends to do in teas like this, but the citrus is also a prominent player and I believe the beets mellow things out a bit. It’s tart, but not as insanely unbalanced tart as Celestial Seasonings and Tazo go. I don’t think I’m ever going to be over the moon about a citrus hibiscus, but if that’s your kind of thing this is one of the better ones.

I really like this tea! While hot, I don’t like the scent that much to be honest but maybe it’ll grow on me. It’s like, wait a minute, this is hot orange juice…but it’s not because it tastes way lighter and the added floral notes help it from becoming too tart. I also add a bit of german rock sugar for the hell of it and it probably helped ease any tartness that I don’t like a whole lot of in teas.

Defiantly my fave tea from Teavana!It’s yummy on it’s own. Not too sweet, not too bitter, just right! Very citrus-y and fruity. Since it’s an herbal tea, it can be steeped for a long time wtihout getting bitter or too strong. And it’s a great tea to blend! I’ve been mixing it with David’s Tea Big Apple, Ceylon Star and Kiwi’s Big Adventure (about .5 teaspoons of Wild Orange Blossom per 1.5 teaspoons of DT) and it just adds to the flavor!
I am for sure going to re-purchase this one! :D

Surprisingly orangetastic. I’m not a fan of herbals usually, but this was pretty rockin’. Like warm orange juice, but in a good way.

Just starting with loose leaf teas so bear with me, I’m still getting used the intricacies. This war a very citrusy tea- a bit too much. Within the first few sips, the orange flavor was fine, but the more I drank, the stronger it got. Slight floral undertones at the end of each sip, with the orange overpowering any other flavor as far as I could tell. Might try it again later blended with another tea, or as an iced tea. See if it improves then. Overall however, it’s not really to my tastes.

Love it, but even better as blend!

The tartness hits you right away! Citrus is very strong. A little dry aftertaste.

My desk is over crowded with papers, books and things to do. A cup of tea* is a welcome escape from the ever growing pile. Its not the best cup its not the worst but it is good to have something.

• I know its not technically tea but I use the common expression for hot beverages that are not coffee or coco.

Mixes beautifully with almost anything!

I did not care for this tea the least bit. I found it to be very tart and sour.
