I remember the first time I tasted this blend; it was Christmas Day, in what seems like a long time ago. This was my first (or second, I can’t quite remember) taste of English Breakfast tea. A very nice blend, but I prefer the Irish Breakfast’s boldness more.

It’s been a while since my last tasting note. Like many new teas of mine, this one was a gift. I decided to try it in the morning, because I ran out of my Golden Tipped Assam. This tea had all the true traits of Ceylon tea, and was actually quite satisfying with my morning breakfast. I also had a cup in the evening, which meant I was able to have the time to enjoy it more. I really liked the quality of the sachets- they weren’t like others I’ve seen. Also, there were almost no stems, which is rare for teas in sachets. Quite pleased with this one, but it could have been a little stronger.

I was very excited to try this one. It was a gift, and usually I’m not very in to herbal teas. But this one was very good. There was a strong essence of fresh blueberries upon opening the box. A tiny bit of tartness, and a little sweetness make this cup very balanced. This is the best herbal tea I have had yet.

This tea was pretty good. I’m not sure how to describe this, as it is my first Jujube tea. Used as a traditional medicine and drink in Korea, this tea does the trick. I wasn’t feeling very well, but decided to eat at my favorite Sushi place anyway. I told the chef, and he said that he knew just the thing for me. He came from the kitchen with a piping-hot cup of this tea. It smelled spicy, and almost reminded me of a Chai. The taste was good, and spicy as well, but I cannot describe it very well. It has a very distinct flavor, and a very nice aroma. I was very pleased to take some home as well. This did make me feel somewhat better, but I’ll leave sleeping do the rest for me.

Not the best Earl Grey that I’ve had. Nevertheless, I was pleased to finally have an Earl Grey after so long (2 days) without one. The Bergamot was noticeable, even when unopened. I decided to steep this one for about 5 minutes, and I liked the flavor of it. The only con I can think of is that it is not high quality tea. The pros definitely outweigh the cons for this tea.

Thank you Teavana for this free sample!
Upon opening, I was welcomed with a nice aroma of citrus and other pleasant smells. This tea smelled very good, and I
The smell of the brew was good, and the color a rich red/pink color. I don’t like sweetened teas, but drank it anyway. That was a good choice: the tea tasted very nice, and almost like a fruit punch. This would be very good as an iced tea.

This tea was pretty good. The aroma of the roses smelled delicious, but I had never tasted a rose tea before. The rose flavor was subtle, but noticeable. I would recommend this to be an afternoon tea.

Usually, I’m impressed with Harney & Sons. And because today is New Year’s Day, and the end of the holiday season, I decided to try this blend. At first, I smelled the cinnamon, and something else which I cannot quite name. I steeped it for three minutes, and realized that the brew was quite weak. I gave it several more minutes, and was satisfied with the color. As for the taste, I was not too impressed. I did not like the aftertaste at all, and it reminded me of chamomile. Other than that, it tasted naturally sweet, and was not at all bitter (that itself deserves a thumbs up). This is the first Holiday blend I have tasted from any company. I’m glad I tried it, and Happy New Year everybody.

I received this one as a courtesy gift. The tea itself smelled nice, but it was in powder form in bags. Usually I like full, loose leaf teas, but I decided to try it. The taste was pretty good, with lemony notes to it. The quality of the tea was not very good, but never the less, it was pretty good.

This morning, I was feeling a bit nostalgic. I had often gone to B&N to look for books, and sit in the cafe. One summer, I first tried this beverage, and fell in love with this cooling iced tea. Now, whenever I go to B&N, or Starbucks in the summer, I feel inclined to order this tea again (or, some other tea). Since I was feeling nostalgic, I decided to get one, and remembered how great these tasted. I don’t think I’ll have another one until summer, though. Winter is too cold for Iced teas.
