This is a straightforward chamomile tea. Difficult taste to describe but if you have brewed it in the past you are likely already familiar with this flowery, herbacious and slightly sweet infusion.

The Taylor’s reminds me of my mother, who religiously bought Celestial Seasonings teas for me in my youth. This was perfect for teatime in the late evening as it is more of a health benefit with no caffeine. I would have no qualms sharing a cup of this tea with her so as far as I am concerned it passes the test to be enjoyed. Chamomile is not my favorite, but for the nostalgia if nothing else, I must say it is fine.

Bright, light and sweet. There is a lot of passion fruit on the nose, especially dry. When brewed it moves to the background and the peach comes out to play.

I found this brew invigorating, there’s a hint of mint on the tail end and finish that lingers in a great way. This offers a great afternoon infusion and a decent pick me up with some caffeine.

This isn’t a straight fruit tea, but more of an herbal tea with fruit notes and the tannic black tea flavors. Really pleasant overall and seems like it would be a great candidate for icing during this hot Florida summer.

I’m going to try it again.

Straightforward lemon green tea. As if you added some squeezed lemon to a cheap green tea.

Nothing special but nothing horrible about it either.

Steeped for 5:45, I was busy in the background but pulled the bag out as soon as I realized how long it had been.

This was a light, gold, aromatic tea which is exactly what you would expect from a nice, inexpensive Darjeeling tea. It has delicate black tea notes with a nice tannin and astringency that coats the tongue. It was bitter but with no initial bite, probably caused by my oversteeping.

The mouthfeel offers some sweetness, and a near apricot fruity note. Really pleasant and especially for the price.

I have heard to only steep this tea for a few minutes instead of a handful, I look forward to trying it on a lower steep time but even now at first cup it is a solid and delicious unique tea.

Steeped for 4 minutes, taste tested but then threw the bag in to continue infusing.

I can see how some reviewers picked up Pine Sol, it’s a light note and not off-putting to me but more comforting.

This is a light black tea, the flavor is not overpowering like a lemon-lime soda but more citrus notes that fade in and fade out. The aroma is all citrus on the nose, as would be expected.

Overall, I was underwhelmed. Maybe it was this go-round but there wasn’t a lot of tea flavor to this one and it got all muddled into the citrus notes anyway. Opposite of Earl Grey which has predominant black tea notes with the citrusy bergamot. I felt a little lost drinking this, but it was a pleasant enough tea none the less. Great addition to the biscuits I dunked in, which made them more of a lemon cookie.
