Smells impressive, like a little bit of an overripe pineapple. I find I have to use a lot of tea to get flavor, seriously cheapo tea from the grocery has more flavor. Three scoops for about two cups pulls it together. Surpsingly pineapple, but there’s some bitter to it. You can steep it again but most of the flavor is gone. Overall, meh. Also to expensive for what it is.

Chamomile tea has been growing on me, slowly but surely. I needed a cheap night time herbal tea so I bought a box of this. Checked the ingredients and no soy or artificial flavoring so into the cart it went. First cup was delicious, light chamomile with just a hint of peach, not to artificial tasting either. I steep mine two teabags to about 18 to 20 oz of water in one of those cast iron tea pots and add just a hint of sugar. It’s 3 am and I think I might go brew a pot now, it’s calling and relaxing, but doesn’t necessarily put me to sleep, sleep is more restful though when I do drink it.

Didn’t really enjoy this much. It could have been the scent which reminded me of some sort of strawberry nutrigrain. The taste did too. Just something about it was way off. I tried it cold too thinking it would be better that way, and it is better cold but still not that good.

I really liked this ones, especially in the morning with a little sweetener and milk. Perfect amount of spice without being just cinnamon like many chais. Also great for helping to wake me up.

I was lucky to find this on sale at Giant Eagle for 3.50. Bargain! I don’t get much coconut, and the spices were kind of milk. I liked to drink it with some milk and sugar, making it a dessert tea except I drink it in the AM to help me wake up at work on days I know I will be skipping dessert. It’s a nice tea, I do really like it. But I will probably try some of the other flavors.

Flavors: Cardamom, Cinnamon

Got this out the bulk bin. Was very disappointed…theres hardly any flavor to it. I’ve had way better Assam tea’s from those cheap loose leaf teas you can buy in the super market. Assam is one of my favorite teas but I wouldn’t buy this again!

drank Wild Orange Blossom by Teavana

Was kind of disappointed when I saw it had rose hips in it, since teAvana always overdoes it on the Rosehups but it had a nice flavor. I got it in a sampler set but don’t think I would purchase separately because it’s quite expensive and disappears pretty quickly. Plus you don’t get many resteeps. First time tastes best, second time is meh, and forget about a third time.

Flavors: Orange, Rosehips

First time I tried it, it tasted like tootsie rolls. I’m not normally a fan of the candy but I kind of liked it. However the more cups I had, the more it just tasted like cinnamon tea, kind of dissapointing.

Flavors: Chocolate
