Joy
This tea is just okay...the peach flavor is the strongest. There is a tinge of some flavor which is offsetting which may be the other side of that peach flavor. Maybe I need to change the brewing temp or time (212F for 5min).

Monk's Blend
First try (1st cup 195F, 2nd cup 212F, both for 4 minutes): this tea has a malty black tea flavor with some sweetness. No strong flavoring, but combination pleasant. (4 stars)
2nd try (only at 212F for 4min): absolutely delicious. Didn't know that first brewing temp could effect flavor so greatly. I can't stop drinking this tea, it is so good. Definitely try at a boiling steeping. No bitterness at all. (5 stars)
-
Cherry Fig
Much thought was required for this tea....cough syrup or fresh cherries. I came to the final conclusion that this tea does not quite reach the flavor of cough syrup but it is closer than I prefer. (195F for 4min)
-
Autumn Haze
The tea is delightfully creamy. The ending sip has a sweet maple flavor. There is also no bitterness. (212F for 4min)
-
Golden Spring
I like the smoothness of this black tea. It also has a lightness with a subtle maltiness which is nice.
(212F for 3min)

Celebration
This is super flavorful...first time I thought I would try at a lower temp but I'll have to try at 212F next time. At 195F I get cinnamon mostly, as it cools I get more sweetness and some fruit flavor.(195F for 4min)
-
Candy Apple Concoction
This tea is sweet, cinnamon-y, and of course full of apple flavor. I'm going to have to have the candy apple tea and this one side by side for a comparison one of these days. (195F for 3min)
-
purify
Fennel and ginger are the strongest flavors for this tea. I definitely see how this could aid one's digestion. Unfortunately, I didn't know this had mate until I already drank this so I hope I have no trouble sleeping tonight. (212F for 5min)
-
MILK OOLONG FULL-LEAF
This tea is pretty to watch the leaves unfurl while brewing. This tea is creamy, smooth and just so darn good. Make your first cup count though, because this version doesn't lend itself for multiple brews like other brand's milk oolongs. (195F for 3min)
-
bai hao yin zhen
This white tea is light and refreshing. There is a sweetness for the first part of the sip but then it quickly finishes dry or mineral. (165F for 3min)
-
Pouchong
This has a great light sweetness.
It makes me think of a light milky oolong. Very tasty. (195F for 2min)
-
Purple Rain
Lemongrass is at a great level, it's present but not overwhelming.
There is also a fruity sweetness that tastes great with the lemongrass. Great tea. (195F for 4min)
-
Endurance
This tastes like a light cinnamon-y berry mix. The combination is very nice. I like the berry flavor because I can tell that it is not the traditional berry flavor. The cinnamon is also at a nice level and at the perfect strength to not overwhelming the berries. I don't get much pu'erh flavor - maybe it just adds some nice depth. (195F for 5min)
-
Pu-erh Chai
This tea is from their 2021 year.
This is incredibly smooth and delicious. The pu'erh provides such a nice base for this tea and I really enjoyed it. (195F for 4min)
-
Greek Mountain Tea
This is healthy tea, good for immunity and antioxidants per google. There is the slightest hint of sweetness but overall an earthy grassy taste...but not a vegetal flavor like green teas. Overall it tastes okay for a healthy tea, but if I want to enjoy tea I'll brew a different one. (190F for 5min)
-
Coconut Cacao Pu-erh
This has such a clean pure coconut flavor. This tastes like a nutty coconut dessert. Absolutely delicious. (212F for 4min)
-
Invigorate
There are so many flavors with this tea I am not quite sure what I am tasting. Overall it has a good flavor but probably not something that I would get again. (180F for 3min)
-
CARDAMOM - flavored black TEA
Cardamom means Christmas to me, so I was looking forward to this tea. This tea tastes like cardamom but maybe not as good as freshly baked Swedish braid.
This is just OK for me. (195F for 3min)
-
Anhui Keemun
This has a very nice mellow flavor.
I don't get all of the complexity notes as listed in the description but this is a great cup of tea. (212F for 5min)
-
Yunnan Noir
This tea is so smooth and delicious. The malty richness is great, and there is absolutely no bitterness. (195F for 3min)
-
Aztec Spice Pu-Erh
This tea is a great mix of spice and earth. The mixture is very warming and delicious. (212F for 4min)
-
Golden Flower
This tea has a pleasant mineral sweetness. I am still working on detecting different flavors but I think I'm tasting a floral sweet honeysuckle. As the tea cooled, the floral taste is stronger. I was able to get at least three steeps from the leaves, the second and third cups were more floral than the first cup. (195F for 2min)
-
Sharp Mind
This tea is delicious. I get a great general fruit flavor. The taste is not muddled and it fells like I could pull out all of the individual fruit flavors but since I want to relax while drinking I'll just enjoy the combination. The tea is a mix of mate, pu-erh and purple tea which tastes great though I can't really discern much other than the fruit flavors and gives this a medium-high caffeine level. (212F for 4min)
-
Mojito Mint Green Tea
This tastes very nice with a lingering mint finish. I like that the mint is not overwhelming and that I can still taste the green tea and the hint of lime, very interesting combination. I didn't see the other reviews and tried it hot, might have to try could brew another time.
-
Purple Whole Leaf
I'm still not sure where purple tea fits in the spectrum of tea but I thought I would try. First off, absolutely no bitterness and this tea is light and even slightly sweet. There is also a woody flavor. Still not sure where it fits, but it is not a black tea and more than a white or green tea. (195F for 4min)
-
Citrus Blossom
This tea is lightly floral with a nice oolong base. There is also the faintest bit of citrus. Overall, very light and pleasant. Also tea tastes great cold, it brings out the floral tastes a bit more. (195F for 3min)
-
Purple Jasmine
This tea has a nice jasmine floral aroma. Though the taste is like any other jasmine teas I have had before, very light and dry. I don't know what the purple tea is adding to the flavor profile, I will have to drink more to find out.
(200F for 2min)

Sleep Tight
The flavor is so smooth. The ingredients blend together and any harsh edges or notes are muted. Strongest flavors are citrus and mint. (212F for 7min)
-
Pu-erh Superfruit
I'm studying for a test so I thought that some super fruit might help the process and this is a very nice cup of tea. There is a natural berry sweetness that pairs well with the pu'erh tea. We'll see how the test goes but this tea is good. (212F for 4min)
-
Chrysanthemum Tangerine Pu'erh
The tangerine is a refreshing citrus flavor and pairs very well with the pu-erh tea. Also, if possible brew in a glass pot, because the chrysanthemum blossoms while seeping are beautiful. (212F for 4min)
-
MINT MEDLEY
This was my gateway tea. When I was young this was the tea that made me realize that tea was a good thing. I have branched out since then but I still like to keep a mint tea on hand and this works great for that.
-
Chamomile Cookie
The flavor of this tea matches the name so well. The rooibos, vanilla, and coconut flavors provide the cookie flavoring and the chamomile blends in very well. (212F for 7min)
-
Scottish Caramel Pu-erh
This tea is desert in a cup. This is a wonderful mixture of cream, sweetness, and nuttiness all along the smooth base of pu'erh. (212F for 4min)
-
Passion Fruit Papaya
This is a fantastic tasting tea, but you can't buy it individually so ultimately disappointing.
