Numi Organic Tea

This was the first rooibos I tried. I really like it and so do my co-workers now.

Waking up today was so hard! Snuck this for free at breakfast. Not a super rich coloring. I’m not adverse to the sweetness of this blend, but I do tend to like really spicy chai, and this was not spicy enough for my tastes, even when I left the tea bag in (thus my long steep). Probably doesn’t require sugar given the sweetness of the rooibos, but milk is always a given for me with chai.

Nice enough for me to take for free when I need some caffeine in the morning, but not good enough to sway me away from buying other blends I like better. And the cranberry chocolate scone that accompanied my cup definitely didn’t hurt!

drank with honey and cayenne to clear sinuses, as a switch from my usual lemon ginger tea. nice change, but too acidic too drink often.

it is tart but the scent is so refreshing. It’s been a long time since I’ve had this tea, but I always look for it when I see Numi selections.

Another one-note tea from Numi. The clear mint taste reminds me of a wintergreen/spearmint/pepperming mélange. It’s an excellent tea for quite evening work.

I believe strongly that a local restaurant serves this precise tea as their special “Comfot Tea” and it indeed is a consoling, friendly, and generous drink.

This is a great tea for lime lovers. It’s got a single, solid note. People seem to love it or hate it.
I drink this occasionally with a small cube of demerara sugar. Mostly I use it as a base for a --(and please sit down and don’t get upset)—soothing drink for those who suffer from a bad cough or sour throat. Add one or two cough drops, some sugar or honey, and stir well. My children love it! And why not use tea for medicinal purposes?

Treat it like a green tea. Steep it short. Delicious!

I like it – it has more “punch” than a regular mint tisane, and you can still taste and feel the puerh, although the mint is the main fragrance and taste. Lovely mint aroma.

The first time I had this I was hooked, I do 2 teabags that will last me for about 4 hours. It’s a mellower black tea, not tannic at all. Added blule agave and vanilla soymilk to make a latte…yum!

This is my last sample of this…I steeped for about 4 minutes. Still not getting a CHOCOLATE taste, really, but it’s an ok blend.

I got this in the mail today from MandyB. (Among others! Thanks Mandy!!!) For some reason prior to steeping I can smell the Puerh and Nutmeg. Personally, I am on the fence about this pre-steep scent. I was expecting pure chocolate. Regardless on with rest of my review, right!? I’m steeping for about 3 minutes but it looks like there is more to steep…The color is dark brown – maybe even a little cloudy – but not overly. Can still smell the nutmeg in this after steeping…it even smells a bit smoky. The taste is quite different than I thought it would be as well. It’s also smokey but sweet…Cocoa-esque but not chocolate. Cinnamon and Nutmeg. And I think I can even taste the Orange Peel but barely. I think all of the ingredients jive well and bring them all down to a medium level. It’s not bad…actually I am kinda likin’ it…

Very nice bagged earl grey. Numi again is the champ as far as bagged teas go. Never had one of theirs I didn’t like.

Got this when I was out of town in a place with barely any good tea available. It was pretty good, but maybe it was due to my weekend long lacking of connoisseur grade teas. Had this after a big breakfast and it was brewed in an insulated paper cup with an espresso steamer. After a solid 4 minute steep I decided based on smell that it was ready. Has a smooth finish and very sweet smells. I would like to try this loose leaf next time.

I found this tea a little light on the rice flavor.

I never buy bagged tea, but I was at a gas station wanting something hot, so I grabbed a bag of this. It was delicious! This is an excellent green tea, and I will probably be buying some loose and some bagged to take along on trips!

This a very pleasing robust green tea…

I love how potent this tea is. Just a little bit of it can go a long away.
I always prefer a good lemon myrtle to a cup of chamomile. This also one of the few teas that sugar tastes good with.

fantastic!

This isn’t a tea for someone who wants a sweet, milk chocolate flavoured drink. This tea is pure, earthy essence of raw cocoa.

And I love that way. ;)

My internet is still being a piece of shit unfortunately. DX

Anyway I had this with breakfast and it has quite a kick, maybe a bit too much of a kick for early in the morning.

Dear lord it’s cold today! I needed something a bit stronger and more robust than normal to warm me up, so I chose this tea. The cocoa and the nutmeg flavourings make it taste oddly appropriate for a winter day like this.
