Teavana

This tea is a recent purchase for me. The scent is berry-licious without being cloying (like how some tea blends smell like Robitussin). It’s my new work tea. I like that it’s good for multiple infusions.

This was my first taste of Roibos, bought it mixed with Matevana. I was surprised at how strong the flavors are. This will be a nice change from my black teas.

Steeped for the entire 6 min. Strong, sweet and warm. Really great for vanilla lovers.

Now that I’m at the bottom of the sample, I’ve finally figured out what I was doing wrong. You just have to steep this stuff double strength to get any flavor at all. Is that the case with all Teavana teas?

I think I finally got the proportions right so I can actually taste this again. About 1 1/2 t. where you’d normally use a single teaspoon. Still smooth, still mild, but I can taste something besides water now.

Still working on my little 2 oz packet; I don’t not like it, but in retrospect, for what I paid for it, I had hoped it would make me go, “Oh, WOW!” instead of, “Oh….nice.”

Very gentle - normally, I pick Assams because they’re strong and wakey-uppy. This one isn’t, but it’s still nice. Has a little sweet thing happening in the background.

I mixed this with Teavana’s Peach Tranquility. It was very sweet, but not too sweet.

Very yummy and light.

A change of pace for me since I typically don’t drink many tea mixes. Mixes excellently with other teas. I mix with Apple Lemon Pomegranate rooibos from Teavana. but you can mix with Oolong or Rooibos teas for a little fruit flavor.

A great twist on the classic green tea!

I love this tea in the late afternoon or evening. Very soothing and pleasant.

Delicious but expensive. Great for winding down at night.

I re-brewed the leaves from earlier.

Finally got around to tasting this iced. I used the cold brew method. However, I left the tea to flower in the container too long, so it tasted bitter. The scent is sweet. It reminds me of the peach gummies I sometimes buy at the Asian market.

I loved this tea. It is very delicate and refreshing. It smells divine, too. I bet it would be great iced. The only thing I do not like is that it’s fucking expensive!
