I find this tea to be tart, more like a treat (not sure I’d say dessert) tea. I’ve only had it warm, but I think this would be an excellent cold brew tea, too.
I tend to not use any sweeteners in my teas so I lean towards a stronger flavor to compensate for this. I, also, have a love/hate relationship with Celestial Seasoning’s tea selections, however, this tea does not disappoint.
While it is not a favorite of mine, I would buy it again when in a pinch for a tea I know I will enjoy.
EDIT TO ADD:
I’ve finally had a chance to try this as a cold brew and came back to edit my review and re-rate the tea giving it a slight bump from 75 to 80.
This was much better as a cold brew. With a bit of sweetener it really was a refreshing drink. Careful on the sweeteners though, it can quickly go from sweet to sickly sweet. I learned that lesson the hard way!
Flavors: Fruity, Tart
Preparation
Rich and full bodied but don’t oversteep or it will get bitter. This is a lovely sweet tea, best served with half-and-half cream and sugar as a dessert. I do enjoy this tea but I don’t drink it every day as too much of it is cloying. It seems like it should be a Christmas tea. You can not do a second steep on the bags, as it just isn’t good.
Preparation
This is seriously a lovely blueberry tea and heck for the little amount of money it costs I am super stoked about it. It smells and tasty like a Tim Horton’s blueberry muffin, delicious! No strong tartness, very smooth and sweet tasting. I bet this will be fantastic as a cold brew.
You really can’t go wrong with these CS Herbals, so glad I got the sample pack.
Flavors: Blueberry, Cake, Hibiscus, Sweet
Preparation
This tea definitely smelled very peachy, I just wish it was a little stronger in my brew, maybe a tad more tart. I am definitely getting that peaches & cream oatmeal flavour that people are talking about. Worth a try, but don’t go out of your way or price range for this. Though it’s a nice change up, i probably won’t buy this blend in the future.
Preparation
Not as flavorful as Harneys but better than Tea Republic. I definitely tasted the raspberry both hot and cold ( added a bit of Splenda).
Would drink it again in a pinch for sure.
Flavors: Raspberry
Preparation
Finally getting around to trying this Country Peach Passion that I got in the herbal set that I bought. The verdict is that I really like this tea, I enjoyed the mix between the peach and the orangey flavour what a great combo taste. Definitely reminds me of the Quaker instant Oatmeal flavour Peaches and Cream for sure. That being said its also very refreshing to drink and not heavy just a nice clean and calming peach tea.
Flavors: Orange, Peach
Preparation
this review is going to also be my review for the celestial seasonings regular sleepytime tea because im drinking this toe to toe with each other. 2 cups vanilla, then 2 cups regular. both of these teas are just so comforting. probably the vanilla a little more so, also smoother with the vanilla, but i am enjoying the directness of the regular over the vanilla right now. pretty sure i will have to give these both the same rating as it will come down to which i am in the mood for at the time.

This is a wonderful tea – really the only teabags I keep around, but keep them around I do! It’s the perfect accompaniment to a peanut butter and chocolate sandwich (recipe below) or a just before bed dessert drink. I like it in the summer when the mint gives a cooling vibe.
Sandwich Recipe: Toast some potato bread, add creamy peanut butter to both slices, sprinkle some chocolate chips on one slice, then sandwich it together and toss it in the microwave for ten seconds per side. You’ll thank me!
Flavors: Mint, Vanilla
If you like dull flavored Raspberry then this one is for you. Although I have come to recently discover, it goes wonderful with anything chocolate: bars, cake, muffins what ever chocolate takes your fancy goes well with this.
I guess it has sort of grown on me.
