CRANBERRY AUTUMN TEA
Decent robust tea for the fall/autn months. Careful not to over steep, this is a strong black tea.
-
Sleepytime Classic
Almost 3 stars because it doesn’t taste terrible. But as far as any difference in relaxing or winding down this tea didn’t help.
-
White Blueberry
Not bad, but very light on flavor. A little sugar boosts the blueberry flavor a bit, but if you want to drink this sans sugar, try using more than suggested.
-
HOT CINNAMON SPICE
This is a hit. Tastes like a red hot candy. Have to be in the mood for it but when you are it’s fantastic
-
BLACK CURRANT
This might be better without the black tea base, it lacked that robust feeling you expect from a currant tea
-
MINT MEDLEY
It’s a decent mint tea, for grocery tea. No bells or whistles but does the trick for nausea
-
Gingerbread Spice
Meh. It tastes similar to so many other spiced tea. I was really really hoping for that gingerbread taste but it’s just no there.
-
Honeybush Hazelnut
Love this tea. Honeybush can be very boring if not done correctly and this one is.
-
CHAMOMILE LAVENDER
I was pleasantly surprised by this blend. The right balance with a not too overpowering floral note as it’s easy to have those notes overpower the others.
-
VALERIAN ROOT HERBAL SUPPLEMENT
Valerian root is not an enjoyable drink, and adding a bit of peppermint did nothing to change this. Look for higher quality tea with a larger blend profile. It does work.
-
GREEN TEA BAGS
Too grassy and a bit bitter no matter how you steep it, I’m guessing it’s a lower quality tea. Definitely make sure to use a lower temperature and not boiling water.
-
Sleepytime Detox
I gave it two stars for the taste, as it is a decent cuppa. But it lacks I. The functional department, and I feel no effects whatsoever.
-
CHAMOMILE MINT HERBAL TEA
A decent chamomile tea, better with longer brew times. I usually steep 5 to 7 minutes to bring out the flavor.
-
RED CLOVER HERBAL TEA BAGS
I have found that this brand of tea is usually just shake, meaning that it’s just the remnants of the herb. I have never been impressed with the quality or taste.
-
Red Zinger
For a grocery store tea, it’s passable. Definitely has a zing to it. I’m not a fan of celestial seasonings but this one I can tolerate.
-
Pumpkin Spice
For some reason pumpkin spice doesn’t seem to transfer over from coffee to tea very well. This has all the makings and flavor profile to match the name but just didn’t hit home.
-
Peach Bellini Iced Tea
While I love any peach tea Adagio has offered, this one rates a bit lower only for the fact that I found it a bit weak/mild. Still outstanding taste and flavor profile.
-
White Tropics
Another Adagio winner. I have tried many brands, many blends of tropical tea that include pineapple and coconut, and this is my favorite.
-
White Toasted Coconut
If you’re a fan of coconut then this is one by far that should be in your cupboard. Outstanding coconut taste, and perfect combined with the subtlety of the white tea
-
Campfire S'Mores
Oh how I wanted to love this tea, but I missed the fact that there was lapsang in it. A smoke flavored tea, for anyone who isn’t aware.
-
Wild Strawberry
Like most reviewers have pointed out, this is mainly a hibiscus tea with a hint of fruit. That being said it made a decent iced tea, especially if you add a bit of fresh fruit to it.
-
FRUIT AND ALMOND HERBAL TEA BAGS
I was excited to try this tea when I saw the blend, it sounded like it was a great recipe for a tea. Unfortunately this combination doesn’t work, and the rest of the tea will
Most likely go to waste.
-
Rooibos Vanilla
A bit on the mild side on its own, but can really shine with the addition of sugar and a bit of milk to add some creaminess. A little cinnamon sprinkled on top adds a bit of a kick and flavor notch.
-
LICORICE ROOT HERBAL TEA BAGS
Undrinkable. I’ve tried numerous temperatures and time combinations and could not get this palatable enough to drink.
-
Awake English Breakfast
I have a love/hate relationship with Tazo teas. They are strong, bold, yet easy to oversteep and lean towards the bitter side. Shave off about 30 seconds of your steep time.
-
CHINA ROSE PETAL Leaf tea
Outstanding if you love floral notes! The rose is a superstar in this tea, you will not be disappointed. I’ve had many rose teas and this so far is the best.
-
White Tea with Blueberry & Pomegranate
This isn’t just a light tasting tea, it’s like what other reviewers have said, Extremely weak. True most white tea is mild, but for this to tout these flavors is a stretch. Not worth it.
-
LAPSANG SOUCHONG leaf tea
Not a fan. If you aren’t aware of it, this kind of tea is very smoky. Moreso than most. I believe it’s more of an acquired taste.
-
Country Peach Passion
Before I realized there were much superior teas out there this was a staple on my shelf. If you are stuck purchasing grocery store yea this one will suffice, but isn’t great.
-
Mandarin Orange Green Tea
Ugh. Was not a fan of this one. The green is way too overpowering for this kind of blend. I find most of Lipton greens to be this way. I believe for green teas you really need to find a great base.
-
Fruit Medley
This is the tea that convinced me herbal teas have a place on my shelf. Absolutely outstanding as an iced tea on those hot summer days.
-
Peach Oolong
I’m a fan of pretty much any Adagio peach blends/teas. This one does not disappoint. The oolong gives it a bit of a woody inclusion to it.
-
PEPPERMINT HERBAL TEA BAGS
A traditional peppermint tea, more for when your stomach is ailing you than to just sip to enjoy. Does the trick though and is very soothing.
-
Bengal Spice
For a grocery store bought tea this one isn’t too bad, it has a nice kick to it to make it feel more like a treat than just a drink. Careful with your time though as it bitters quickly
