White Monkey
Vegetal and grassy makes for a nice savory tea that can be enjoyed after dinner
-
Bella Luna Blue
Purchased mostly for the novelty of pea flower tea, but overall it is actually quite tasty - lightly blueberry flavored, it tastes really good as an arnold palmer
-
Cucumber White
This tea really doesn't do it for me - after brewing for the recommended time, it just tasted like hot, hard water.. definitely nothing close to cucumber white tea
-
Lemon Ginger
Wayyyy too medicinal. Ginger tea is meant to be spicy and refreshing, not unbearably bitter
-
China Green Tips
One of tazo's better green teas. Not spectacular but also not flavorless as some of their green teas can tend to be.
-
Organic Earl Grey Noir
It's not exactly the same as a regular, traditional earl grey, but is otherwise quite inoffensive.
-
Glazed Lemon Loaf Herbal Tea
This line of tazo teas are mediocre at best. The lemon flavor is practically undetectable if steeped at recommended time/temp.
-
Chai Classic Latte
Tastes almost nothing like a real chai. Too sugary and barely any real tea flavor.
-
Chai Classic
Very strong ginger flavor, which is fine if you prefer that flavor above all others, but it can be overpowering if you like your chai to be more cinnamon-y.
-
Lemon Strawberry
This tea is honestly sort of..gross? It's almost too citrusy to be enjoyable.
-
Refresh Mint
Solid tea that doesn't pretend to be fancy. It is exactly what it says it is: minty.
-
Zen
After steeping at the recommended time and temperature, the tea is inoffensive, but also not special in any regard
-
Cinnamon Express
Delicious as a latte. It has several notes of different spices that make it taste almost like chai. Perfect for the holidays.
-
Almond Sunset
This tea is trying to do too many things at once. There is no singular, unified flavor to be discerned, while also being a bit bland when brewed to package recommendations.
-
Roastaroma
Yummy and definitely better than a cup of coffee. My only gripe is that the allspice can be a bit overpowering, especially if not paired with milk.
-
Authentic Green
This tea is very light in flavor, almost too light. The white tea is very prone to burning, but when steeping at a lower temperature, it's difficult to pick out the green tea flavor.
-
Peppermint Peak
A more delicious version of DT's crummy Santa's Secret tea. Minty, sweet, and creamy, it takes milk well and has a very round flavor. Almost like drinking a pillow mint.
-
Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride
One of my favorite seasonal teas. Might not taste like sugar cookie per se, but still sweet and moreish.
-
Camomile, Honey & Vanilla
While in context, the flavor is expected, it's almost boring. I love a good chamomile tea, but the vanilla detracts from the overall flavor.
-
Winter Spice
This is truly Christmas-a-cup! All the flavors come together to make a sweet, but not overpowering, tea that feels super nostalgic.
-
Peppermint Cheer
Really delicious tea, especially without any sugar or honey. The vanilla and peppermint combination reminds me of peppermint bark.
-
French Vanilla Chai
Really scrummy as a base for a latte. Not too sweet or vanilla-y, and deep enough to still taste the spices underneath.
-
Thai Tea
This is not a traditional thai tea. It would be more accurate to label it "thai inspired" but even then, it doesn't hold up to expectations. Too sweet and not deep enough of a flavor.
-
100% Pure Oolong
It's almost too nutty and rich to enjoy on its own. While I tend to prefer strong, robust teas, this one can turn bitter and gross very quickly.
-
Darjeeling
Very basic darjeeling tea wherein you can add your own flavors in order to improve the taste. Good to have in the pantry.
-
Sleepytime Classic
A favorite of mine for years. Minty and fruity, it's great to wind down with and delicious with a bit of sugar or honey.
-
Ultra Spice Chai
The original version isn't even worth my time when the ultra spice is around. The spices are balanced with one another while not being overpowering in the context of a proper chai with milk and sugar.
-
English Breakfast Extra Bold
Quite nutty and smooth, but a little weak if brewed per box recommendations. The tea is helped with the addition of milk and sugar.
-
Earl Grey
Not particularly spectacular. It is what it sets out to be: earl grey. The notes of bergamot come through well when steeped correctly.
-
Mint Magic
Solid mint tea. The chicory and cinnamon add a very subtle spice that make this tea perfect for cold, gloomy days.
-
Vanilla Bean Macaron
After numerous attempts to make this tea taste good, I've given up. It's practically flavorless if brewed per box recommendations and tastes like a whisper of black tea at +7 minutes.. not worth the money.
