User's reviews

  • Yunnan Noir

    

    I love the curly leaves and to watch them unfurl. The flavor is very yummy. It has a light sweetness that lingers. I quite like it and could drink several cups but I need to savor it because it's just that good.

  • Toasted Mate

    

    I don't like how the tea is so small it falls through the tea basket. I wasn't ready for that. The drink its self is ok. It doesn't taste like coffee at all. It has a bright flavor but it's not a coffee acid type of flavor. I've tasted other mate teas that I like much more.

  • Blood Orange Iced Tea

    

    One of my favorite cold brew teas. The pouch gives a good bit of flavor. I can taste the mix of fruity flavors and the orange. Adding little sweetener is always my thing.

  • Assam Melody

    

    Strong tea that I brewed into concentrate and added milk. A starchy nuance broke through the milk which was a little odd. I think I t was that starchy plantain flavor. I don't like black tea on its own very often which is why I add milk.

  • Jasmine Silver Needle

    

    Very pretty and delicate tea leaves. Distinct Jasmine flavor. Able to brew at least twice. Light transparent slightly golden liquor. Dainty tea... fun tea party tea.

  • Peppermint

    

    Very nice example of peppermint tea. I like blending this tea with other loose leaf blends to add a little bit of mint.

  • Lavender Lemon

    

    This is one of my favorite decaf teas. It has such as light yet distinctive flavor. The lemon and lavender are balanced well. It's soothing and makes for a good bedtime routine.

  • Scottish Breakfast

    

    I typically don't like black tea. This tea has a malty flavor and went very well with milk. I enjoyed this just as much as my coffee this morning.

  • Pu-erh Chorange

    

    Very lovely tea. Black tea with no astringency. Smooth bright citrus flavor with a hint of coco. It's a good meditating tea. Sip and Selah.

  • Jump Start

    

    The tea didn't live up to its name. There was nothing jump starting about it. There was a hint of cinnamon but that was the only warmth to the cup.

  • Jade Oolong

    

    I didn't pick up on any floral notes. It was much too grassy and early for me. I was expecting something more floral and sweet from an oolong. It reminded me of a green tea.

  • Currant

    

    I don't usually like black tea but this one is special and gets a double thumbs up. It has a recognizable flavor. I taste tart purple grapes .... the skin of the grape. The aroma is nice but I can't place it. I drank it warm but I It would probably be good iced as well.

  • Reindeer Fuel

    

    This was an Adagio purchase seasonal gift for purchasing X amount. I made the double strength late mentioned on the back of the package. The late was very good. It had a hint of peppermint. I didn't like the tea plain. It's much better as a chai or in a late.

  • Almond Cardamom Cake

    

    unique desert tea. Added touch of monk fruit. Tea would be delightful with nearly any cake. It's one I'd like to serve on special occasions with a nicely baked cake. Had my first cup with a chocolate chip muffin and it was Devine.

  • Lemon Zinger

    

    Nice flavor. It's a go to tea when I have a sore throat. Adding a bit of honey is quite pleasant. I've also done this tea with peppermint and it was very nice as well.

  • Chaga chai

    

    I count this a very special tea given the mushroom .... antioxidant health benefits. No tripping here. Unique pleasant. chia flavor.

  • Decaf Apricot

    

    Very pretty tea with bits of apricot., Fresh aroma upon opening the package. Distinguishable apricot flavor. Drank it as a warm tea but it would be good iced or chilled as well.

  • Fujian Orchid

    

    Enjoyed watching the tea leaves unfurl. The flavor a smooth mild floral. Can make several brews by re-steeping the leaves.

  • Peach Oolong

    

    Good oolong tea, but I was expecting more peach flavor in this tea. I could't pick out a peach flavor.

  • Earl Grey Moonlight

    

    I don't like earl gray's much because of the strong forward flavor. Sometimes earl gray is ok when mixed with a fruit or floral flavor but not on its own. This one isn't for me.

  • Green Rooibos Bonita

    

    I really like the tea the first time I tried it. The second time it seemed a little bland. I didn't find the peach flavor much. It might be the amount of tea used for each brew.

  • Raspberry

    

    I don't like black teas, but I do like raspberries. I smelled and tasted the raspberries. I would have preferred having more raspberries in the package. Overall, it's a good tea but I'd prefer herbal raspberry blends.

  • Summer Night

    

    I had great hopes for this tea. It didn't taste bad but my nose didn't agree with the tea. My nose started to run and feel itchy as soon as I started to drink this tea. I'm not sure what's in the tea. This hasn't happened in a long time. Stopped right after I dumped the tea.

  • Decaf Mango

    

    fruity decaf black tea. I brewed it hot then poured it over ice. It made a very refreshing iced tea. Usually don't appreciate black teas but this one I did and even more because it was decaf.

  • Coconut

    

    Not usually a black tea fan but this one is very nice. Brewed for 3 minutes. The coconut flavor is pronounced and I like that a lot. It held the flavor when diluted over ice cubes for an iced tea.

  • Campfire S'Mores

    

    I love this tea concept. I drank the tea with extra mini marshmallows and it tasted great. It's not a tea I'd drink everyday but it's a fun one.

  • Peach Serenity

    

    Fruity tasting tea with a noticeable peach flavor. The only complaint I have is that I'd like the tea overall to be stronger. I feel like I need to add more tea than expected to get the desired strength.

  • Maple Creme Oolong

    

    The maple flavor is just so Devine. I added a small amount of sweetener but it does taste like maple syrup in a cup, just not so thick. It's a surprising delightful tea. I've used it several times to make some blends.

  • guava creme green tea

    

    Guava fruity flavor with a lightly grassy green tea. The green tea isn't overpowering but I would prefer it being stronger. My friends and I greatly enjoyed at a gathering.

  • Blood Orange

    

    Very good orange rooibos tea. I enjoyed it warm and as an iced tea. Nice citrus flavor with ever so slight warm spic flavor. I've had some orang teas where the spice component overpowered but this is not the case here.

  • White Fuzzy Navel

    

    Not familiar with the popular drink "fuzzy navel" I noticed the crisp citrus and rooibos flavor but not the peach. I might have understood the name of the tea better if It had a stronger peach flavor.

  • Honeybush Mango

    

    Good Honeybush tea with a hint of mango. Nice smooth texture. I like mine iced.

  • Yunnan Gold

    

    Wow, love this black tea. Creamy sweet notes. Complex blend.

  • Strawberry Banana Split

    

    Can taste banana and strawberries in this smooth green rooibos.

  • Decaf Cream

    

    Very lovely smooth tea. I like that it's decaf. The little white flowers are pretty. I Can drink it any time of day without fear of insomnia at night. Smooth plesant flavor that lasts after the swallow.

  • Berry Blues

    

    Absolutely Yummy. I could sip on this all day long. Great iced tea drink these summer months.

  • Honeybush Wild Berry

    

    First taste reminded me of cherry chapstick. Second swallow with sweetener reminded me of the same. third swallow with ice still reminded me of chapstick. Don't hate it but don't love it either.

  • Cancer

    

    Really liked this tea. It's fruity with a mild flowery flavor. Drank it warm with small bit of monkfruit. I expect this would make a nice iced tea as well.

  • Candy Apple

    

    This isn't my cup of tea. It smelled like apples but didn't taste much like them.

  • Citrus Mint Green

    

    This is a delightful tea. It is well balanced with mint and citrus. I like the soothing mint feeling on the back of my throat.

  • Golden Monkey

    

    This is nice. A black tea without the bitter astringency. Could easily pick up on the sweet notes. I could enjoy multiple infusions off one serving. A good come back tea.

  • Genmai Cha

    

    Lovely savery cup of tea. Very impressed. Could drink this this throughout a meal. It may also help hit the spot when feeling hungry and not quite time to eat. I purchased several single packs just for that purpose.

  • Pina Colada

    

    Without sweetener its to tart however after adding a tablespoon of monkfruit to 12 oz tea really brought out the Pina colada flavor. I really liked it.

  • White Toasted Coconut

    

    lovely cup of tea. The coconut flavor really pulls through the light white tea base. It's good as an iced tea as well.

  • Honeybush Hazelnut

    

    I like honeybush teas overall and this hazelnut tea is very good.

  • Rooibos Orange

    

    Nice smooth mild citrus flavor. It's good as a hot and iced tea.

  • Summer Rose

    

    The rose flavor is to strong for me. I feet it go to my nose in an uncomfrtable way.

  • Kentucky Bourbon

    

    I like the early sweet taste of the tea but I don't like the smoky flavor. It's more smoky than what I remember in the bourbon drink.

  • Thai Chai

    

    Tea is not overly spicy. The lemongrass and black tea are very balanced. I smelled the coconut but couldn't make out the flavor in the tea today. (could be seasonal allergies). I'd drink it warm but I'm not into iced chai teas as of yet.

  • White Ayurvedic Chai

    

    Nice cup of tea tea with noticeable coconut flavors. Enjoyed. Would drink another cup.

  • Chocolate

    

    I like the chocolate chip better which had more of a tea flavor with less astringency.

  • Hojicha

    

    I'm into the more fruity teas. This one was a little too early for me. Maybe one day it will grow on me like some of the other teas have but not right now.

  • Peach Bellini

    

    It smells nice and has a lot of potential. It was good as a cold brew tea in frog >12 hrs. Not so good as a hot steeped tea because there wasn't enough flavor and reminded me of infused water rather than a tea.

  • Pu-erh Tahiti

    

    Very good Pu-erh blend with natural sweetness. I wish it were decaf so I could drink it all day long as primary source of hydration. that's not the case. It must be sipped and savored.

  • Wild Strawberry

    

    A bit tart but very lovely after adding teaspoon of monk fruit. Full mouth feel, sweet reminding of strawberry jam or jello.

  • Fujian Baroque

    

    Loved the Golden Money but not so much this one. Was more astringent than expected and didn't notice any chocolate until adding chocolate honey.

  • Rooibos Jasmine

    

    Had a floral alcohol smell which I thought was different. Tasted great. Google showed me that Jasmine contains benzoyl alcohols. How interesting!! Not a 5 because I'm not big on floral flavors. Maybe floral will grow more on me one day.

  • Blueberry Wild Child

    

    Comforting with full fruity mouth feel. Adding a little sweetener brings out the sweetness to another level.

  • Maui Mango

    

    Good flavored tea but I wouldn't count on it for any medicinal purposes.

  • GET HAPPY

    

    It is a good tea with a deceit flavor. Unsure if the St. John Wart was helpful, but the tea was part of my journey before asking my doctor for help with depression.

    Good example of a rooibos tea. Sweet notes are from the rooibos leaves.

  • EARL GREY

    

    Strongly flavored with bergamot oil. I can see the oils sitting on the top of the water. Not sure what to do with this flavor.

  • I LOVE LEMON HERBAL TEA BAGS

    

    Great tea because it was made by my sister. I was a teenager and she had me and my bother over to sip tea at her appartment. She had one of those whistle tea pots. It was hot, faintly lemony but greatly enjoyed because of the company.

  • Tension Tamer

    

    In 2002 I was drinking this tea while in nursing school. At that time kava kava was an ingredient. I was taking Benadryl as a sleep aide for insomnia related to shift work. I would cry for at least an hour after drinking that the tea with kava kava after taking Benadryl. A year later in my pharmacology class I learned Kava Kava has herbal to drug related interaction with Benadryl and other medications. It hasn't been made with Kava kava for over 10 years now.
