Wow. This is a great tea. I oversteeped because my mother called and I was worried that it would be bitter but it really wasn’t. I really got the chocolate flavour to start but now that it has cooled off some the mint flavour is amazing. This will be a regular in my cupboard for sure.

Wow. Having this tea hot tonight before bed. I wasn’t thrilled at first. Found it quite weak but as is my usual custom with herbals I left the tea leaves in while I drank the tea. And it is wonderful after about 15 minutes. It is a very light colour but the flavour is not light at all. Apparently citrus is my go to flavour this year. I added a touch of Agave Nectar to this. Next time I will try it without the agave just to see how it is.

I can’t wait to have this one iced. Of course I need to get some more for sure.

Loving this tea now. I have steeped for the recommended time and put milk in it. Wow. What a difference. I need to order some more of this before it goes away because it is amazing. Especially after it has sat for a bit. That is when you get the Chili hit from it.
Can’t say enough good things about this tea now. Glad I have given it another chance.

Not going to rate this one yet. I want to take my bag and open it and give it a shake and give this tea one more try. The attempt tonight resulted in a barely coloured water that had no strawberry flavour and just a hint of bamboo. I am sure it is that it all settled and all I mostly got was bamboo leaves in the strainer. I even left it to steep while I drank it.

The only thing that gave it some flavour was adding some Goji Pop. Hopefully attempt 2 will be better.

I had a cup in store today and had some serious strawberry flavour. That said, there was not much by way of colour. The liquor was pale pale yellow, and I let it steep most of the duration of the cup. Hope you have better luck next time!

So excited to go to the Westboro store and get this tea today since it is no longer available online. My first sip I was overwhelmed by the coconut which is not one of my favourite things. After it had cooled a little the chocolate and raspberry really came out and I am enjoying it alot more. I will likely try it again tomorrow with milk and see if that changes anything.

Still dissapointed this is a limited edition tea. Hope they bring it back next spring.

Not sure about this tea. It has a very strong smell that I can’t quite place. I am halfway through my cup and I am still unsure about this one. The odd smell is an odd taste now. This tea is baffling me.

I normally leave my tea bags in the cup, especially for herbals since I find them quite weak. Well I tried that with this one since it didn’t have much colour and it was horrible. I took the tea leaves out and although I find the peppermint to be overly strong I am enjoying this tea a lot. I am actually sitting here yawning and that is unheard of for me. I think this may become my nighttime tea from now on since I have so many problems sleeping.
Well off to bed. LOL.

I am still not 100% sure how I feel about this tea. I like my black teas quite stong and often leave the tea bag in when drinking them. Sometimes they get bitter so I decided not to leave my leaves in with this one. I steeped for 5 minutes in my Tea Tumbler travel mug. I found that quite weak so after a few sips I decided to put the strainer back in. I think I will leave the tea leaves in all the time I drink this although next time I will be adding milk to see how it changes my feelings about this tea.

I am enjoying it and will drink it often on cold days but I just need to figure out how to best enjoy it.

Love this tea. I left it to steep while drinking over half of it since I enjoy a stronger tea and it was wonderful. A little tart but that could be remedied by only steeping for the 5 minutes suggested. This was my sample tea in my first order and I am very glad I ordered it today when I placed my second order.

Loved this tea. Made it last night before bed. The citrus to it was wonderful and the colour was something I really enjoyed. Kind of a sweet herbal tea but I will definately be having this again and again.
