Teavana

This tea is wonderful. It is sweeter than the tazo passion and has a variety of fruits that I can distinguish. It is also very versatile.

Great tea. Light and fruity but it needs to be cooler to taste all of the flavor.

This tea was the first pure, non flavored green tea that I purchased. I has an earthy flavor and I am not sure if I have experienced the full flavor of this tea because I am afraid it will be bitter if I steep it for more than a minute.

Just tried this one this morning — REALLY good! It’s chocolately and nutty, with a little smokiness in there, and it gives a nice energy kick to boot. I could easily see myself kicking the coffee habit as long as I have this tea around.

Yum!! This tea is really delicious and refreshing. I bet it would taste great iced, too!

I added a little bit of Teavana’s South African Rooibos to it, too, and it makes the fruitiness a little bit more subtle. I also like the flavor the red rooibos adds to this. (The summary of this tea says there’s red rooibos in it already, but the bag it came in says there’s only green. Hmm.)

Anyway, this is exactly what I didn’t even know I was in the mood for today!

hibiscus blossoms, apple bits, sour cherries, orange peels…can you cram any MORE sour and tart factors into this one? LOL

Yes! It’s the day of challenges for me today! The day where I will try anything and really taste outside my comfort zone! :)

Knowing that I don’t usually like tarty teas and noting a lot of the negative reviews on this I saw the suggested infusion time of 1-2 minutes. I went about 60-70 seconds. I might even go a little less next time. BUT…it’s not bad if you like sour. I am basing this review mostly on the fact that it is-what-it-is…it’s SOUR…but most people would only try this if that is what ‘floats their boat’ so I am keeping that in mind.

On the other hand – most sour teas freak me out…this one isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I’m drinking it hot…but honestly, I think COLD it would be fairly good.

It says it’s a flavored black but I can’t taste the black tea for the life of me. I would basically just say tarty-fruity herbal.

Regardless it’s not as bad as I thought it would be, or could be. I will try this iced at some point…based on all of the above and that it surprised me like it did I will score a little higher…

On my fourth cup of this today. I cannot get enough of this flavor, it is incredible. Tastes amazing with a little milk and sweetener (I use Splenda). So so so addicted to this now.

Okay, well, I just love Earl Greys, they are probably my favorite teas. And this … oh, man, this is PHENOMENAL. The smell alone is gorgeous, and it just tastes absolutely wonderful. It’s smooth and rich and flavorful and just … the best Earl Grey I’ve ever tasted. I think I’m going to have to buy a whole pound of this once my first 2 oz. run out!

I just ordered a few different teas from Teavana — it’s my first foray into loose-leaf tea. Decided to start with this one. I was pretty much won over by the smell! It smells freaking amaaaazing. I added a little bit of the rock sugar to the leaves as they were steeping, and then put a splash of milk in the mug with the tea — it tastes just as good as it smells. Like a very decadent desert, without the guilt. This will definitely be a repurchase, as I can see it becoming an evening ritual for me.

Nice fruity tea for the morning.

Not as chocolatey as I would have liked BUT if you add about 2 tsps of chocolate syrup to this tea.. hmmmm. very good. Very nice desert at nite…

Somewhat bland but when you add peppermint- hmm.. and spicy.. just wish it were more chocolatey

So long English Breakfast by Teavana. You were there for me when I was just getting into this tea hobby and it was great while it lasted. I don’t think you are the one for me, though.

After one more infusion of these leaves, I will be officially out of this tea. It was good while it lasted, but I think I was right a few days ago…I’m not going to miss it much. I’m still looking for the perfect breakfast blend.

This is actually pretty good with half and half/sugar in the morning.

I’m almost out of this and honestly, I don’t think I will miss it much. I would like to keep a breakfast tea of some sort on hand, but this just isn’t it.

This goes surprisingly well with chicken noodle soup for breakfast!

Third infusion is a bit weak, which you would think I’d remember by now. Oh well.

I’ve been having this the past few days and have been liking it more than I originally did. I don’t know if this is because my palate for tea has developed, or if the tea is just growing on me…but I am starting to believe that I will need to keep some sort of English Breakfast tea around at all times. This tea is simple and not easily botched, I don’t really have to pay attention to brewing it, which is nice in the mornings. I am so not a morning person.

This tea is helping to clear the cobwebs from my brain after completing a 30 slide powerpoint for my grad class and reading a few textbook chapters….and there is still more…sigh….good tea though.

This is helping me get through an immense studying session.
