Watermelon Cooler Iced Tea
Very very bad. Just not my taste at all! I I'm just not very into the whole fruity tea thing.
-
Earl Grey Lavender
Oh this is an INTENSE tea. My sister got it and I tried some. Bergamot and lavender, while they compliment each other well, was just way too strong for me!
-
LEMON LIFT Decaf TEABAGS
Lemony! Not too lemony actually with the citrus notes being balanced out by the black tea.
-
MINT VERBENA
A delightful mix of lemon and mint, with neither overpowering the other! Usually lemon isn't my favorite, but this is *really* nice!
-
WHITE VANILLA GRAPEFRUIT
It's surprisingly good! Wonderful grapefruit taste and the vanilla isn't too strong, although I'd prefer a straight-up grapefruit
-
Wild Raspberry Hibiscus
Not my favorite. I've never been a fan of hibiscus and this is not exception. It's not bad, per se, but I'd prefer that the flavoring wasn't so strong.
-
Rooibos
Sweet! I actually ended up preferring it to honeybush, and while the particles were a bit small, going through the strainer, I'd totally drink it again.
-
Christmas
A nice spiced tea, and has a nice amount of citrus "bite" if you're into that. Not my favorite, personally, but it gets the job done and is certainly festive!
-
YUNNAN GOLDEN TIPS
Absolutely lovely tea! I adored it, personally, and bought it because of its great price. Really solid slightly floral black tea with a great body.
-
ORGANIC GREEN WITH CITRUS & GINKGO
I got this as a free sample. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't buy it again. I'm not really into lemon being added to my tea unless I'm sick!
-
Jasmine Phoenix Pearls
A really solid jasmine tea! I rather enjoyed it. It had a great smell and a taste that really followed it up. Very floral but strong.
-
White Pear
Really nice with a lovely delicate taste. I'm a sucker for pear and this was a lovely find.
-
DECAFFEINATED HOT CINNAMON
This tastes just as good as the regular hot cinnamon spice! Just as good without any loss of taste. The sweet taste of cinnamon is absolutely perfect!
-
HOT CINNAMON SPICE
Absolutely heavenly. It tastes like dessert. I ended up getting a whole supply of this since my mother can't drink caffeinated tea anymore and let me tell you, I am living it UP.
-
DECAFFEINATED EARL GREY
SUPER strong bergamot smell/taste. My mother wasn't into it, but I rather liked it, especially with a touch of half and half.
-
CHAMOMILE
Good quality chamomile. Got this as a sample with my other teas, and it was tasty! Always a classic.
-
Irish Breakfast
A solid tea! I got this tea for a friend because it perfectly represented this one character she was very into and we shared a cup together. Very bold and strong.
-
Chamomile
VERY good chamomile. Perfect for a panic attack or when you're feeling down. One of the best chamomiles I've had.
-
CHAMOMILE MINT HERBAL TEA
Classic mix of good-for-you herbs in a balanced method. The mint definitely helps the chamomile!
-
EARL GREY
Very strong bergamot taste with a hint of black tea. If you like that without much more complexity, this is the tea for you!
-
MINT MEDLEY
The primary two tastes are spearmint and peppermint here, and surprisingly enough neither one really overpowers the other! It's pretty good, although spearmint isn't my favorite.
-
CRANBERRY APPLE HERBAL TEA BAGS
Very strong smell of cranberry and chamomile. Tastes almost artificial wih a very strong aftertaste of hibiscus. Not for me!
-
Ti Kuan Yin
Quite good! Very mild, but rather tasty. More delicate than some other Adagio teas.
-
Fujian Rain
Tastes strongly like black tea to me. If you want a black tea with a lower caffeine content, this is the way to go!
-
Golden Flower
Very floral, delicate taste. Not bad at all. It definitely has an accurate name!
-
Wuyi Ensemble
Close to a black tea. It's not bad, but it doesn't have a very "green" taste.
-
GROUND HOJICHA
Tastes like coffee, although it has a rather gross smell. Despite this, I strongly recommend giving it a taste because it is a time and a half.
-
JAPANESE SENCHA
Very grassy, very strong. Not bad at all. Sort of seaweed-like. Not necessarily complex taste, but good green tea taste. Sweet and clean.
-
Fiery Cinnamon Spice
Absolutely delicious. Tastes like apple cider minus the cider. Love it!
-
Gingerbread
One of the worst spiced teas from here. Tastes artificial and nowhere near gingerbread!
-
Rooibos Pecan Turtle
Sweet tea with a little aftertaste beyond the perceived pecan and caramel taste. Not bad, but VERY sweet. Smells amazing ,though.
-
Cranberry
Smells just like cranberry. Has a nice tart cranberry taste as well which doesn't overshadow the black tea, but rather complements it.
-
Chestnut
black tea taste with a pinch of what can only be described as chestnut extract. Not my cup of tea, but I see how some people may like it.
-
Pumpkin Spice
Absolutely wonderful. It's so warm and nice, reminescent of pumpkin bread. Definitely one of the best spiced teas I've had.
-
Darjeeling Spring Tip
This was great for a second steeping! Delicate and strong, this is a bold tea that has a rich and complex taste. By far, one of my favorite black teas.
-
Ali Shan
Solid delicate tea with an almost honey-like taste. It was very good. Not bitter, per se, but a bit earthy.
-
Rooibos Vanilla Chai
Solid chai tea. Very sweet with a spiced flavor. Barely can taste any vanilla. Would drink again.
-
Peach Oolong
It... tastes like peach oolong. Solid taste for the peach lover, mild peach taste to round out the oolong. Not bad at all!
-
Green Rooibos Blueberry
Very fruity with blueberry as predominant taste. It's not bad, just... fruity.
-
Rooibos Caramel
Actually tastes like caramel tea! Can't really complain.... A bit odd, but certainly not bad!
-
Green Rooibos Bonita
Fruity and delicate in taste, this is the kind of hot tea that lacks the medicinal taste found in other types of rooibos. However, I certainly do not like it nor can claim a great affinity for it overall.
-
Rooibos Earl Grey
Medicinal in taste and smell, this is a complete warping of earl grey and simply does not work! It's both bitter and sickly sweet at the same time...
-
Honeybush Banana Nut
Very very banana-esque. I'm not sure what I think of it to be honest. It's not bad, but the nut flavoring is meh. The banana flavoring is quite good though.
-
Honeybush
Very sweet and mild with a slight and mild aftertaste. Certainly something I would NOT seek out.
-
Yunnan Noir
Mildly bitter and round in flavor, this tea is one of my favorite mild ones I've tried. Totally a drink-again and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to shy away from the more strong bitter teas like scottish breakfast.
-
Green Diet Iced Tea Citrus
The flavor can be best described as citric acid. There is no real profile beyond that and whatever remains of tea is just remnants. Definitely not my favorite and not a drink-again.
-
Unsweetened Black Tea
This is a plain black tea. It's not special and you'd be better off making your own, but it works in a pinch. It's better for making your own sweet tea than anything else. I much prefer brewing my own tea, however.
-
White Grapefruit
Not my favorite, however, my friend absolutely loved it. I made it iced and would definitely make it again. The citrusy flavor was definitely predominant in the profile.
-
Samurai Mate
Solid tea, with a good profile. Smells more spiced than it is, but the taste is still very good what with the fruity undertones. I wouldn't seek it out but it certainly isn't a loser.
-
100% Pure Oolong
Solid oolong. Certainly not the best, and the not the most complex, however it is tea and isn't terrible.
-
Black Cherry Berry
Very strong cherry taste. Smells like cherry candy and taste matches very well. Not my favorite, but great when you want something sweet.
-
Spearmint
Wonderful tea. Just pure spearmint, so if that's what you're looking for, whoa does it fill the bill! Cool and refreshing.
-
Country Peach Passion
Tastes like real peach. One of the better peach teas I've had, with every sip having a heavy peach flavor.
-
Wild Berry Zinger
Nice berry flavor. Too acidic for me but that doesn't negate the berry taste!
-
True Blueberry
While the taste of blueberry was strong enough to make the tea pleasant, it was undercut by the acidity of the orange peels and hibiscus. There was no "true" blueberry flavor, but instead just a regular blueberry flavor.
-
Green tea
Solid run-of-the-mill green tea. It's nothing special, but it isn't terrible. After all, it is pure green tea! I'd recommend it for someone who is looking for something a bit less complex.
-
Raspberry Zinger
Solid raspberry taste! One of my favorite celestial seasonings teas with a tart raspberry mouth-feel that can't be replicated anywhere else.
-
Chai Decaffeinated
A solid Chai tea! I absolutely adore chai so I can't bear to rate it any lower. Yes, I've had better, but, honestly, this is still a delightfully spiced chai so I can't help but appreciate it!
-
Pu erh dante
Smells vaguely manure-/horse-like. It's honestly not bad. The taste, in itself, is really good--mild and complex. A lot better than the smell!
-
Rich Chamomile
Solid chamomile with a sweet taste given by the apples! My personal preference would always be for straight-up chamomile but, nonetheless, this is a great option when I can't find the pure stuff.
-
White Peach
This tea has a delicate peach flavor complimented by the white tea. Peach is definitely one of my favorite flavors so I can't help but enjoy it!
-
Zen
Strong notes of spearmint add, but don't take away from, the green tea. Perfect for a bright morning jolt without the bitterness of coffee!
-
Ceylon Sonata
Not a bad black tea! Has a bit of boldness but is certainly more mild than, say, a breakfast tea! Certainly one of the more delicate black teas I've had.
-
Lipton peach iced tea
The tea is honestly super artificial and the taste is very lacking but it does get the peach flavor across (along with a heavy flavor of citric acid!)
-
Silver Needle
This is a solid white tea that has a super delicate taste to it and a wonderful smell. Definitely one of the better teas I've had!
-
Spring Darjeeling
Very mild! Not bad, but not bold either. It really doesn't have that much complexity to it but I admit, I like it!
-
Berry Blast
Heavy in hibiscus. Smells like berry flavoring. Isn't bad if you're looking for a berry-flavored tea and the flavor, in itself, is rather mellow and fruity. Not my favorite, but it certainly gets the job done.
-
GREEN TEA WITH LEMON GREEN TEA BAGS
Way too lemony and artificial for me. The lemon overpowers the green tea to the point where it feels like the dominant flavor is the lemon versus the other way around. Great if you want lemon tea with a touch of green though!
-
Yunnan Jig
Not bad! A super mild black tea that has less of the boldness some people dislike so much in, say, breakfast teas. A pretty middle-of-the-aisle tea.
-
Lapsang Souchong
This tea tasted and smelled like liquid smoke, not at all what I wanted from a glass of tea. I can see the appeal if you're into smokey flavors, but sadly I'm not.
-
Golden Monkey
Bold and complex, I absolutely love this tea. Certainly one of my favorites, at the very least!
-
Mango Mate
Better iced than hot. The mango flavor is true and sweet so that makes it a clear win in my book!
-
Coconut
Tastes and smells a lot more like real coconut than I would have guessed! If you're a fan of coconut, this tea is perfect for you.
-
Lemongrass Ginger
It tastes like lemony ginger, so if that's what you want than this is perfect for you. It was a bit too strong for me until I added some sugar. It's certainly not bad, but definitely isn't one of my favorites.
-
ORANGE & SPICE HERBAL TEA BAGS
I've never been one for orange tea and this is no exception. I got the orange tea for free but if I got it again, I wouldn't even drink it.
-
I LOVE LEMON HERBAL TEA BAGS
A bit too lemony to me. It's fine if that's what you're looking for but it's closer to essence of lemon than lemon tea. Wouldn't recommend.
-
Chamomile
It's a strong tea with herbal notes and a crisp apple flavor. Relaxing and flavorful, this tea is definitely one of my favorites.
-
Iced Passion
Very sweet tea. Strong hibiscus flavor, great for summer days. Not necessarily my cup of tea but it's a great alternative to, and would probably mix great with, lemonade.
-
Cinnamon Apple Spice
Very strong cinnamon and apple notes. A bit too much for me but is honestly a great alternative to apple cider or a similar drink. Perfect for long fall days.
-
Scottish Breakfast
By far, one of the best black teas I've had. Strong and intense, its bold bitter flavor is well worth every sip. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who likes a nice strong cup of tea.
-
English Breakfast
My least favorite of the three british breakfast teas (scottish, irish, english). Solid but has less of the bitterness I seek out in these sort of teas. Although, it definitely had a strong mineral taste and bold flavor.
-
Irish Breakfast
Strong tea. Had a nice bitter taste. Good go-between when compared to english and scottish breakfast tea! Has a nice combo of the mineral taste that comes with english and the bitterness that comes with scottish.
-
Peppermint
This was the best mint tea I've ever had. It was amazingly sweet and powerful while maintaining a delicacy hard to reach with such strong menthol notes. One of my favorite teas, if not my favorite.
-
Blood Orange
Just takes like essence of orange! It's a really pure flavor and I appreciate that a lot.
-
Wild Strawberry
Heavy hibiscus notes. I was looking for more pure strawberry. All in all, not bad. Would make a solid iced tea.
-
Foxtrot
Mild and mellow. The blend of peppermint with vanilla and chamomile is delicately and expertly done. Highly enjoyable and perfect for any time of the day.
-
Mocha Nut Mate
Tastes way too artificial for me. The strong hazelnut taste takes away from the tea and replaces it with what might as well be some run-of-the-mill junk. Way too chemically for me.
-
Lavender Lemon
Very intriguing taste. Lavender and lemon pair excellently together. I really didn't know what to think of it at first but I think I'm a convert! Smells great and tastes great.
-
White Fuzzy Navel
Got this tea as a gift. When my sister smelled it, she abandoned the room. It smells pretty intense and the taste doesn't get much better. It's a good idea in concept but it's just too strong for me.
-
Turmeric Bliss
A solid tea! I fully enjoyed the spices and the blend to the utmost. I'm a sucker for spiced tea and this one is no different. The hint of orange in there was exemplary when combined with the strong spices.
-
Assam Melody
Interesting flavor. A bit too strong compared to what I usually drink but honestly, I fully enjoyed it. Who can say no to a good black tea?
-
Citron Green
The citrus notes were a bit too strong for me but it seems like a wonderful idea in concept. I'd drink it again but wouldn't seek it out. Maybe if the citrus notes were a bit more mild?
-
Peach Serenity
Smelled terrible. Tasted a LOT better than it smelled. Very strong peach flavor. Don't let the smell scare you away!
-
Green Rooibos Key West
The tea was just too fruity for me! It over-powered the tea taste and provided a whole new flavor profile on its own. The passionfruit, mango, and apricot flavors were all very strong. Not my cup of tea, but I know others would like it more.
-
Chocolate Chip
The flavor was too artificial for me and was too close to chocolatey than chocolate. The smell was very pungent and strong, which would be a plus for some people but not for me. I was looking for more of a soft rich chocolate taste. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't good.
