  • Calypso Green

    

    This tea has a beautiful aroma both in the bag and in your cup. Once brewed, it's very light with lovely fruit notes. I enjoy this tea hot, but I suspect it would make a fantastic iced tea as well. I highly recommend this tea. It's an oasis in a cup.

  • Rooibos Orange

    

    The tea smells great, and the flavor gets stronger as it cools. It's probably best as an iced tea.

  • Red Tent

    

    I admit I was skeptical about this tea, but it really is helpful with cramps. The flavor is pleasant too.

  • Pina Colada

    

    I really enjoyed this as an iced tea. I brewed it hot, then chilled it. The coconut flavor is more pronounced as a cold tea. Perfect for summer! The flavors can be subtle, so you may need to add more tea leaves per cup of water.

  • Peach Bellini

    

    The flavor is subtle. If you want a more pronounced peach flavor, try using two teaspoons of tea per eight ounces of water.

  • Apricot

    

    The apricot aroma is more pronounced than the flavor, but that's not a bad thing. Although the flavor is subtle, it's a cheerful tea for a morning or afternoon pick me up.

  • Earl Grey Lavender

    

    I'm not typically a big fan of earl grey, but this blend really works for me. The lavender is soothing and subtle, so it complements rather than overwhelms the traditional flavors.

  • Coconut

    

    I really enjoyed this tea. The coconut smooths out any harshness or bitterness from the black tea.

  • Peach Serenity

    

    My family really enjoyed this one! I was curious to see how it is as an iced tea, but we drank the whole pot instead of saving any. It's a nice alternative to the black peach teas.

  • Foxtrot

    

    This is a basic herbal tea. Chamomile, peppermint, and vanilla all play nicely together, but this doesn't stand out enough to purchase again.

  • White Peony

    

    Very light and subtle floral taste. Perfect for an afternoon break in the garden. No sweeteners needed.

  • Chocolate Chai

    

    I like chocolate, and I like chai, but I didn't really like them combined in this tea. It definitely smells like chocolate when I open the bag, but once brewed, I can't really taste anything other than chai.

  • Yuletide Toddy

    

    Got a bit of a tang to it, but still pleasing. No need for cream or sugar.

  • Watermelon Cooler

    

    Not good hot. Possibly better cold, but still not great.

  • Thai Tea

    

    I enjoyed this tea, but it wasn't quite what I expected from a Thai tea. I've tried it iced and hot, and both times the vanilla notes are the most pronounced flavor. A touch of sweetened condensed milk makes it a nice treat.

  • Summer Night

    

    This tea is lovely. When we tried it hot, the citrus flavor is more pronounced. When chilled, the spearmint notes are definitely stronger. Either way, we love it and will purchase a larger quantity next time.

  • Rooibos Nutcracker

    

    A lovely tea for sipping on a cold night by the fire. Smooth notes of caramel with hints of cocoa.

  • Raja Oolong Chai

    

    This is an excellent spicy tea to wake you up in the morning or raise your spirits on a dreary day. The spices are invigorating but not overwhelming.

  • Pomegranate Grove

    

    I really wanted to like this tea, but the floral notes were overwhelming, and there is a peculiar aftertaste.

  • Irish Breakfast

    

    As much as I love flavored teas, it's refreshing to have a pure black tea. It has a good depth of flavor and slight astringency with enough caffeine to get you through the morning. No cream or sugar needed!

  • Golden Turmeric Chai

    

    This tea is amazing. Even my pickiest family members enjoyed this one. It's spicy but not overwhelmingly so.

  • Golden Flower

    

    A lovely, light oolong. Try steeping more than once.

  • Minty Comfort

    

    Excellent. Bright enough to be uplifting but soothing enough to help you relax.

  • Lemongrass Ginger

    

    Slightly spicy from the ginger, but overall, it's a very comforting blend. This was a big hit with my family.

  • Lavender Lemon

    

    This is a gorgeous tea. Serve this for your garden party, your mother in law's visit, or when you just want something beautiful to drink.

  • Key Lime Herbal

    

    This tea smells amazing when opening the bag, but the flavor is not as impressive. It improves as an iced tea but not significantly.

  • Kentucky Bourbon

    

    This is not a tea for the faint of heart. Although the dry tea leaves smell sweet, once brewed there is a predominantly smoky flavor. It's quite unusual but very enjoyable.

  • Honeybush Pumpkin Chai

    

    This is a pleasant, light tea. The pumpkin and chai spices are very subtle, so don't expect bold flavor from this one. Still, it's a soothing blend for fall.

  • Green Rooibos Citron

    

    This is a beautiful citrus tea. The flavor is well balanced and refreshing. Make a large pot of this and chill some of it for an afternoon pick me up.

  • Green Rooibos Bonita

    

    This is an excellent fruity tea! Try it iced and hot to see how the flavors change with the difference in temperature.

    Brew it hot, then cool it to get the best flavor.

  • Earl Grey Bravo

    

    The citrus is more pronounced than the typical earl grey and slightly astringent, but it's a lovely cup of tea. A dash of cream would smooth it out if you're not a fan of the sharpness of earl grey.

  • Double Ginger

    

    This is definitely a ginger tea, but I don't know if it lives up to the expectations of double ginger. You can smell the ginger as soon as you open the bag. It's slightly spicy and warming, perfect for when you're feeling under the weather. It's also perfect alongside a molasses cookie.

  • Decaf Vanilla

    

    This tea is lovely and smooth with a hint of sweetness. It's perfect for serving along side dessert.

  • Decaf Spice

    

    The fragrance from this tea is beautiful. The spice combination makes this a perfect tea for sipping on a fall evening.

  • Decaf Ceylon

    

    It's not fancy or overwhelming, but it is a solid decaf tea. I've tried it hot and iced, and it's pleasing either way. I've yet to try it with cream or sugar, but I'm sure that would be a nice treat. This is a good choice for when I'm trying to avoid caffeine.

  • Coconut Grove Pouchong

    

    This is my new go-to summer tea. It's delicious hot but even better when chilled. Definitely give it a try.

  • Cocomint Green

    

    I tried this as a hot tea, and the chocolate flavor was more pronounced than I expected. I'm curious to see if the mint is stronger when I try it chilled.

  • Christmas

    

    I was disappointed in this tea. It's still a nice cup, but the flavors weren't as strong as I expected. There are other teas out there with a more festive feel to them.

  • Chestnut

    

    Excellent flavor, especially if you're looking for a new fall tea. I enjoyed my first tasting black, but I suspect it would also be lovely with a spot of cream and sugar for dessert.

  • Ceylon Sonata

    

    This is a classic black tea with a strong finish to get you moving in the morning. A little cream or sugar tones it down for a weekend or afternoon break time.

  • Brigadoon Breakfast

    

    This is one of my favorite teas. It would be my go-to tea every morning if it wasn't a limited release. Definitely try it when it's available at the next leap year.

  • Assam Melody

    

    This is a very smooth, classic black tea. I've tried it hot and iced and found it equally enjoyable. It's a good all purpose black tea.

  • Almond Oolong

    

    The almond flavor is subtle, but it's a pleasant cuppa. I'm new to oolong teas, but this makes me want to try more.

  • 40 Winks

    

    This is an excellent way to calm down at the end of the day. It's a very pleasant blend that encourages relaxation.

  • Lemon Meringue Green

    

    I was not a fan of green teas until I tried this blend. It's excellent. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves a light, lemony tea.

  • Decaf Hazelnut Cinnamon Creme

    

    This is one of my favorite teas. It's hard to beat hazelnut and cinnamon, but this blend is heavenly.

  • Berry Creme Compote

    

    Berry fans will love this one! The blend of berries and apples provide plenty of sweetness and the creme flavor smooths out any tartness.
