Received this one from my order with Rachel at iHeartTeas from her partnership with 52Teas to bring back some retired teas and I am SO glad they did this! This smells so yummy as it steeps with the watermelon flavors being the strongest of the bunch. Actually had some co-workers eying the pouch I brought in and I nicely directed them to Rachel’s shop! My tea, not theirs!

There is a nice light flavor to this tea and it is the perfect start to my day. Actually I think this is my go to tea for today seeing as it is my Friday. Why not treat myself?

Mmm thankfully I had the thought to bring this sample from KeenTeaTime (KiTT) with me this morning. (Almost had an allergy mishap and drank some tea with “strong hints of coconut” in it! This tea is so yummy I wish we’d had some ice in the office fridge but this is really awesome hot too.

See other note on this tea.

In my opinion this could have used a more of a slap of honey. When I see honey as one of the words in the name I really expect it to be sweet. I didn’t even taste the “tad sweet” that was supposed to be there. Don’t get me wrong the tea isn’t horrible. Just not what I was expecting with the name.

I really can taste the green tea in this and there is a bit of a honey aftertaste. But that’s it just the green tea which as others have mentioned is giving this a veggie taste. Which oddly enough isn’t bad with the salad I got for lunch. I don’t think I will be trying this again. Anyone recommend any of their other teas?

I’m trying this iced today as it seems we are finally getting a little Spring here in Upstate, NY! About time too…anyway I’m really get a tart flavor to this when iced and I love it. I can really taste the current and other berries in my cup. I did add a little sweetener to this as it is a force of habit with anything iced. But this is very yum and I really need to get more of this asap. I only have enough left for one more cup and I am pretty sure I forgot to order some in my last Adagio order…

Interesting aroma as my tea steeps. I can smell the Gunpoweder green mixed in with the sweet of the strawberry. Smells yummy and as I said interesting. The tea is a pretty rose color. It tastes pretty good too. I did add a little Agave to the tea. I think Mal and crew would call it ‘shiny’.

I received a sample of this from LiberTEAS – thank you! To me the tea smells somewhat malty which is a good thing almost makes me feel like I’m smelling (and about to enjoy) a good Irish Stout well before 5pm! It tastes very rich and creamy and not at all what I expected from a black tea. There is a hint of rum in this cup…I wasn’t sure at first but it’s there in the aftertaste, yum! This is great and I feel I might need to look into purchasing some asap!

I’ve only ever had this mixed with Matevana (all in one tin – it was a gift) and that was super yummy. So I opted to buy a little of each on it’s own and try it. It isn’t bad alone. I can really smell the chocolate and strawberry coming through. It tastes pretty mild to me. I think this is a tea that would be better served mixed with something else. I have some Moroccan Mint I think I’ll try blending it with in the near future.

Spices, spices everywhere! I am loving all the spicy smell floating out of my cup! The taste is out of this world. I see why KiTT drinks it all the time. Yummy! This isn’t From KeenTeaThyme (KiTT) by the way I still have her wonderful sample of this very tea waiting at home. This happened to come free in my order today. So seeing as I had my handy-dandy perfect tea maker at the office I HAD to make this after lunch.

Lots of bold flavors! I can taste the black and red pepper of the white chai and the cardamom of the mate. I could go on, but I’m just going to continue enjoying this cup and hopefully get the second steep that this small sample promises too.

I have actually had this tea a few times, just forgot to log it. This was the first tea I ever had at Teavana and it hooked me. I don’t drink it often as I’ve moved on to some of their more complex teas. But I go to this one when I really want to relax or I’m not feeling well as the cinnamon is really nice and that’s all I can taste when I drink it, but I love the flavor.

I don’t ever drink this tea alone. I tend to add it to more potent teas to cut the flavor a little when I want a milder peppermint for example. I might have to try it on it’s own and see how that is.
