This tea smells lovely, like a cup of potpourri. The taste is very floral as well, a bit too much at times. It has a tendency to taste like floral scented soap when it cools. Maybe I got a strange batch.

My dad had boxes and boxes of this tea in his house so I decided to take a box and try it out (sssshh, don’t tell him). It’s OK. I kind of like the brown rice flavor and it’s pretty good considering the price. I probably wouldn’t have tried it if I didn’t get it for free.

This is one of those teas that you drink in a pinch. Never very smooth, turns terribly astringent and bitter really easily. But if it’s the only tea around and I’m feening for a cuppa, then it would do.

Really smooth green tea.

I am a big “milk oolong” fan and it never lasts long whenever I have it in my cupboard because I drink it all up so fast. This one is particularly good; I love the subtle milky taste. I’ve been served cheap imitation milk oolongs before (beware of these as they are actually not very good for you) and those have a sickening strong “milk candy” smell. This is the real deal and it is quite good.

This is my “go to” green tea for regular sipping.

I’ve been drinking this tea for a few years now. It takes a little bit of a song and dance to get the right steeping method (can have a harsh astringency if steeped a little too much or if the the temperature is not right).

Can get a bit bitter. It’s just OK.
