Honey Ginseng

I usually prefer my teas in loose leaf form but for those times when I need portable tea in a bag this is perfect. Not very strong on the green tea side, it’s fairly forgiving with water temperature. I love the honey taste and smell, that’s what brings me back to it again and again.

I stumbled on this this tea at a Panera while killing time before a movie. Put two tea bags in a large cup and had to leave it in the car because it was too hot to drink and we had to get in to the movie. I wasn’t expecting much when I came back and since it was 20 degrees outside I knew it would be cold, but I really liked it, so much so I bought it. Unfortunately, I have not been able to duplicate what happened that night. :) It does smell like honey, but really doesn’t taste like honey and has an aftertaste.

One of my favourites, I like drinking this in the afternoon.

Mixed with ginger peach tea

I know it’s a honey flavored tea….but I thought that the honey flavor overpowered the whole thing and detracted from the taste of the green tea.

Very floral notes. More than we were expecting. Sort of overpowering.

This is my favorite “I have a lot of stuff to do today and I don’t want to do any of it but I have no choice so I might as well be cheerful about it” tea. It has a cleansing aroma, a naturally sweet taste, and when I drink it, I feel calm and focused.

This is a very tasty green tea. I tried this at my school’s cafe, and wasn’t really sure what to expect, since RoT can be kind of hit-or-miss for me. While steeping, the tea smells very sweet and flowery, similar to my favorite Jasmine Green by Bigelow. This tea tastes a bit sweeter, though, and you really do taste the honey that gives it its name. Overall, I really liked it, and I am so glad I finally found it in a store near me, since school was the only place I could find where it was sold (besides online, since I didn’t want to pay for shipping), so I can now make it whenever I want to. A nice cup of tea to relax with for sure…no additives necessary! :)

When brewed, it smells strongly of honey with a hint of ginseng, which is pleasant enough. However, it’s almost impossible to taste the green tea, and it’s overwhelmed by a mild honey flavor.

This is my staple tea I seem to return to over and over. nice hint of honey.
