Mmmm peaches. Few things in life leave me happier. After I’ve had a tall glass of this, I feel like I just ate a big juicy peach, which is exactly what I wanted. It’s fruity and juicy and tastes like, well, a peach! Yum, yum, yum. This is my first iced tea and will be making many, many more. I’m going to go put on a sundress, pour myself another glass, and pretend it’s summer.

For this, I used 3 tsp of leaves in my 1.5 L teapot and steeped for 30 seconds, and then added probably another 1 L of cold water to fill the jug and then put it in the fridge. Next time I’ll probably boil more water and resteep the leaves for the second L, but it’s still flavorful and yet delicate. Yum.

So my wonderful wife, who is as brilliant as she is creative, made me a tea-drinking game for my birthday! I roll two D10s, and drink whatever tea matches the two numbers. If I roll doubles, I get to use one of the ADORABLE cards she made to determine which tea to drink. Squee! Best wife ever, y’all.

So, my first official use of the game was this morning, and this is what I rolled. Mmmmm…this was a very good place to start. I love vanilla and this was just what the doctor ordered.

So very glad I picked up this tea. It’s a tasty vanilla with an earthy undertone. The vanilla isn’t too sweet or overpowering, it’s just…nice. A very good cuppa!

Mmmmm. I’ve been looking for a good substitute for the now-discontinued Opposites Attract, and I think I may have found it. It’s refreshing and minty but leaves an earthy taste afterwards the grounds it out of being medicinal-tasting. I think I could drink this forever.

I’m not sure on this one. I think I added too much sugar, I need to try it straight. I always add sugar to my teas, so I’m rating based on how I usually fix it. Might change after another taste.

It was pretty okay. Had mine in-store and they were busy, so it ended up a bit scalded and a bit over steeped, but overall it was pretty nice. I look forward to trying the rest.

The cup I had was a little burnt, but overall it was pretty tasty. Neither of the fruit flavours screamed pomegranate or goji berry, but without that bit of misnomenclature it was an enjoyable fruity green tea, with just a bit of a perfumey aftertaste. I don’t think I’ll buy a bag of it any time soon, but I liked the cup I had.

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, this is fricking delicious. So incredibly good. Definitely need to pick some of this up for myself.

Delicious! I knew right when I saw it that I’d love this tea, since it incorporates three of my four favourite flavours: Cherry, rose, and sencha. They mix together beautifully, creating a really pleasant light green tea, perfect for when my attention was flagging at work yesterday.

This tea basically tastes like you’re drinking blueberry bubble gum, and I’m not 100% sure why. It’s my current go-to before-bed tea. Will almost definitely be buying more when my current bag runs out!

(Note: It’s not nearly as sweet when you drink it as it is when you smell it!)

Don’t get me wrong, this is a fine tea. Beautiful green tea with pear — how could you go wrong. It’s just that there’s something that’s almost chemical or unnatural about this tea. It might be there’s too many ingredients? I don’t know.

At the end of the day, this is a great tea and it tastes fine. Personally I just need to get over the overly candy scent of the leaves and other ingredients. I think next time around I’ll go for a simpler blend.

I’m torn. It’s good, but it doesn’t seem like it should be…

While it seemed odd to be enjoying a tea called “Sunshine Reggae” in the dead of rainy winter, it was a welcome cup of green blending…even though I had no clue where the green tea was in the blend. Lemon (myrtle and -grass) dominated the taste, followed shorty by a spicy-citrus lean from the orange peels and ginger. I was thankful that the chamomile and ginger were understated. Overall, a solid botanical blend.

This is one of my favourite teas. I’m not a coffee drinker but the coffee is so light in this tea that it gives it a nice flavour, without bitterness. I throw it in my loose leaf travel mug and it’s fine even after 40 minutes of steeping.

Have you ever had one of those Pillsbury Rolls with the Orange Glaze? The ones you buy in the refrigerator section, bake, and then add the orange glaze… This is one of those liquified. I shall be hogging the rest of this sample for myself. Most def YUM. I might have to get some of this.

One of the best teas I have ever tried. Like Raffi said, Its not really a tea, but its well worth a cupping. Its aroma is insane! I neeeeed to find out where I can get this wholesale so I can implement it to my menu!!
