Teaopia

I really enjoy white pear teas but I was disappointed in this one. I could hardly taste the pear and the white tea was really over powering. I expected it to be a light cup of tea but it was quite heavy for me. Maybe it was just my batch or something I’m doing wrong?

Last night I was making a no-bake cheesecake that was supposed to use pomegranate juice. I didn’t have a pomegranate so decided to use berries instead, but my berries had gone bad. So after remembering how intense this tea was, I used it instead. It turned out absolutely amazing!

This is pleasant, sweet, and very strawberry. I don’t have much of it but will try to keep it in mind for iced tea if hot weather ever arrives as it’s got a lot of flavour.

I got my Teaopia order a couple days ago and broke into it with this last night as I was making tea for my boyfriend and I and he likes strongly flavoured fruity teas. This smelled like it would fit the bill.

I was worried at first. I am not pleased with the bags Teaopia shipped in – they don’t seal. Also, I was surprised by the fruit chunks:tea ratio as this was priced like most other whites but most of the bag seemed to be fruit pieces.

Anyway, it turned out very tasty and berryful and I think it would be a good iced tea.

Finally tried this yesterday. I’d give it a lower number, but really, it’s not the tea’s fault. It seems that someone who likes coconut would probably like this tea. I don’t. My least favourite of the three pack, but it’s all because of personal taste. If you like coconut, then certainly don’t listen to the fact I don’t like it.

Blagh! I don’t know if I somehow made an awful mistake when preparing this, but it was totally undrinkable. It smelled and tasted like I had steeped some ashes. The dry tea smelled pretty interesting and a bit fruity so I was hoping for something at least passable!

Interesting. The rooibos had very little scent in the bag. As soon as I poured water on it I got excited as I suddenly got a whiff of juicy, fresh-picked strawberries. I don’t know where that came from, though! Maybe wishful thinking. When I went in for a closer sniff, I really just smelled the rooibos.

I mostly just taste rooibos here. There is a hint of berry taste, but I’m not getting any of the “cream” as I’m drinking it. It’s okay, definitely not a re-order. Oh, Boxing Day sales.

Once this cooled most of the way, I found it drinkable but still not something I’m likely to make again.

Whoah. I expected to like this from the scent, but I don’t. It does taste very, very nutty. I feel like I’m snacking on almonds.

But for some reason I can’t handle it. It’s just too much. I think it’s too heavily flavoured for me and loses any oolong flavour. I’m finding this with some of the fruit-flavoured teas I ordered from Teaopia, but if I’m in the right mood I can get into those. There is just too much going on here. I can’t even get halfway through my cup!

This one scared me as a lot of the Teaopia teas seem to as the fruit came off smelling very candy-like, both dry and once infused.

But, I liked this. Very juicy. I definitely got the mango, and thankfully no ginger. This would be nice iced.

First Green Tea I’ve actually enjoyed, although I do enjoy flavoured teas so that did help. I even prefer Chai over plain Black. Very good tea.

Well, for me it wouldn’t be a daily tea, really. It does smell nice, and tastes pleasant. I like it, and drank two cups, and will drink it again. It just doesn’t get me excited about drinking, or craving it like some other teas. Good, but not stellar for me.

My stomach was pretty unsettled this morning; there’s a stomach flu going around the town. Chose this one for my work tea today. I really appreciate the smoothness of the tea now, the smell relaxing too, and no bitterness despite three hours of my tea ball in the cup. I feel much better now. Somedays are just made for a basic green, and this was one of them.

It’s a pleasant jasmine, nice and smooth, fragrant, and very tasty. But I tend to like my teas with a little twist to them. If you want something good and straightforward in a jasmine, this is a nice choice.

It is so much fun to watch the pearls open. This is a great delicate jasmine green tea. It has a great balance of jasmin with the green tea. I love coming home and curling up with a cup of this tea. Way to go Teaopia

I made this with a generous amount of leaf tonight, and the vanilla is more prominent. It’s nice. The tea itself, though, feeling pretty astringent. Less smooth, but still enjoyable.

Drank this one last night.

This is good, not great. The scent is quite strong and I keep thinking it’s some sort of caramel tea. The taste is much more muted but still smooth and pleasant. I also had to use cream in this as we had no milk at the cottage, which could be changing my perception a bit.

I haven’t had this in a long time, but you know what? It holds up really well! For a red rooibos this is really nicely balanced. The cinnamon is nice and toasty and the apple is subtle but sweet and delicious. I added milk this time and it was very warming and relaxing before bed.
