Teavana

This is great iced or hot. I’ve even splashed some milk into this and it tasted lovely. Love the smell of this and its a good staple to have on hand.

This is a wonderful introduction to mate. I find that I’m not a mate fan in general so I only tend to drink this on very cold days when I want something bracing and comforting. It seems very popular and for good reason; the taste is great.

I really love this tea. It’s naturally sweet and the fruit balances nicely with the white tea. It makes a delicate cup with a lot of aroma. Really, really nice.

I am not a big fruit tisane drinker but this is great iced.

A standard green tea; nothing to write home about but not bad either. I find this fresh and palate cleansing. It’s good for when I want something to quench my thirst, and I think it would be a great base for ice tea (throw some fruit in there and it’d be delicious!).

This is a very unusual tea! I don’t drink it often but it’s good to have in the cupboard for when I want something really different. I brew this with cool water like I would for any green tea, letting it sit for a little longer than usual to get the most out of the chocolate and nut flavours. I’d recommend this one for people who are just getting into green tea, or anyone who is a big fan of well-flavoured teas.

Extremely malty tea. I actually found this quite disappointing. The maltiness is quite unpleasant, and I found that it didn’t re-brew well at all. I am passing this along to someone who might appreciate it more.

Sometimes this tea is a little too perfumey. I find I enjoy it most when I steep it at around two minutes. Great for Fall Evenings.

Mixed with Vanilla Honeybush is now my favorite morning kick in the pants.

Mixed with Teavana’s vanilla honey bush (1/3). No additives. Hot.
This has replaced all coffee in my life… They don’t advertise this combo or mixing it with azteca fire for a good hot chocolate.
This is just a great versatile tea.

A long day covering the Oprah mass on Chicago’s Michigan Ave. (http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/television/1759379,oprah-michigan-avenue-090809.article) Must … unwind … late at night. Yummy floral chamomile. Thank you, Mother Nature. Or is that Oprah?

Probably my favorite Earl Grey. Makes the most amazing iced tea.

Used up the very last of this the other night. This is one of the very few rooibos that I enjoy. I don’t think I will repurchase it as I didn’t drink it on a regular basis, but it has a lovely delicate taste and is fantastic iced.

I like the combination of chocolate and chili peppers when it comes to candy but this tea just tasted weird. Maybe it’s just the apple and strawberry. I ended up throwing it away after it sat in my cupboard for a year.

This one tastes like their White Ayurvedic Chai Tea which is one of my favourite teas but makes for a stronger cup with more caffeine. I blended the two and makes for a perfect cup.

I have never had a chai tea like this before. One of my favourite teas. Goes well with the samurai chai mate for a caffeine balance

I really wanted to like this. Chocolate + chilis is generally something that would be ranked as good in my book. Unfortunately, as a tea it’s just weird and unpleasant.

Reminded me a lot of a type of wassail I drank at a local fair. It is very robust and fruity, with a delicate hint of spice. Truly enjoyable!

I can taste the jasmine a little more this time. It is a good tea light tea.

Smells but does not taste of jasmine. This is a good tea and I usually like to blend it with others.

Nose is very overbearing. The nose is too sweet and powerful and gives no sense of tea (at least not enough for a Pu-erh). Tea was okay but it was too sweet to be a Pu-erh. The “woodsy” taste of the Pu-erh was really not good with the sweetness of the strawberry. Underwhelmed and overpriced. Not terrible, but not what I payed for.

i steeped for two minutes as per the instructions but found it to be bitter and unpleasant. i love the idea of this tea, but i’m not sure it’s for me. i’ll try again with cooler water and a shorter steeping time and see if that helps.
