I actually don’t like ginger teas, but I enjoyed this! My mother is a ginger AND lemongrass fan, and she absolutely adores this tea. Great stuff.

Dry leaf smell: Mango, mint, peach.
Steeped leaf smell: Mint; medicinal.
Taste: Weak green tea. I probably should have steeped longer than the recommended time.

Tea dust.

Interesting smell; reminds me of bread somewhat. I like to associate smells with colors, and this smell gives me soft, light-brown vibe (:

The taste is pleasant but not particularly remarkable. Or maybe that’s just me. I think my tastebuds are malfunctioning this morning. I’ll re-assess on a different day I suppose.

There is a lot going on in the aroma and it’s absolutely gorgeous. I can smell cocoa, fruit, flower, and the tea itself. It may be my fault for being a slipshod steeper, or it may be the tea, but the taste just doesn’t live up to the smell. It tastes like black tea with sourish notes and a flowery flavor that makes the addition of milk a bad idea. I don’t really like flowery teas, in general.

Had this two years ago, will try to recall what I wanted to write about it.
I really loved this tea, and its a pity I can’t find it anymore.
Peppermint , with a surprising creamy taste. Vaguely floral. Lovely.

It’s not really even leaves. It’s just tea dust. In a canister. I doubled the dosage of tea and it’s still very weak. This is my favorite tea to make chai with. The flavor is only strong when I spam tea dust, but then it becomes bitter. So it’s good for drowning out with spices and milk.

Judging from the high ratings this tea has, I must be doing something wrong. It smells wonderful, but when I try to drink it, it’s very weak. It seems to be teabag-standard leaves, but in an oversized container.

I’m not sure what it is about this tea, but I can see why they sell so much of it in a single box. It has become a part of my morning ritual, and I have a cup the minute I wake up.

This tea smells absolutely delicious. It has an aroma that is both sweet and rich. It’s a scent that’s very… busy. Much like New York itself, I suppose. The cocoa in this blend really comes through in both smell and taste (though less in the latter).

Mmmmmm. Love this. It’s one of those teas that make me go omnomnomnom. Malty taste
