Trader Joe's

Super duper delicious tea that tastes like candy cane! Not mint, no, the flavor is much more complex than that. There is some vanilla and other flavors that make it distinctly candy cane and I am addicted when I want to reach for a teabag!

Added a good amount of sweetened condensed milk.

This is my favorite tea. It is designed for cream and sugar. I like Yorkshire Gold Loose Tea too, but this is the one I drink at least 6 times a day. Actually tea is the only thing I drink. I add Splenda and Half and Half. Best thing about it is that it tastes like tea and is inexpensive. Most of the time I empty the bag into a pod and run it through my machine because I am in a hurry. I get 14 oz. out of 1 bag.

I like this tea. It has a nice peppermint taste.

Christmas present from the sister-in-law.

This tea smells EXACTLY like that tub of Betty Crocker vanilla icing. That sickly sweet smelling icing. You know the stuff your boyfriends and husbands would probably sit and eat in a whole sitting straight from the tub… or is that just mine?

This tea does well with added sugar and cream/milk. On it’s own it’s pretty lost. The smell is what I can’t get over. For TJ pricing, I would probably buy this again. I’ve walked by people with this tea in my hand and have had them come up to me and ask me what it is… so I guess it truly smells good.

I bought this and it was gone in a matter of days- It’s so good. When I saw this in the store I made absolutely no hesitation to snatch it up. When I got home I literally ran to my tea kettle, and I was not disappointed. The flavor is so bold and rich, the rooibos makes that much of a difference. This tea is perfectly spicy, everything works together!

And it smells amaaaazing. I felt like some kind of drug addict sniffing a can of tea so intensely.

One of the best mint teas that I’ve tried so far. One of the few teas that actually tastes as good as it smells

Looks appealing, but the taste is disappointing. It’s spicy but lacking in any richness.

Blah. Sadly, I had to return this to Trader Joe’s. Far too sweet to be used for anything. I made some iced tea with it using a quarter of the mix called for and it still wasn’t worth drinking.

This tea lacked flavor.

i can’t believe it’s not butter!

butterific cinnamon-swirl vanilla black tea that forever changed my life. it’s really so simple. sweet popcorn caramel with a tantalizing aroma that comforts in every way. i declare this my definitive winter/holiday/christmas tea, but you better believe i’ll be drinking this 365 days a year! seasons don’t exist in my world where there is amazing flavor or fragrance. stocked up like a neurotic squirrel in an acorn pile.

come to think of it, pudding.

caramel butter popcorn, amazing, butter

caramel

butter popcorn

This really does taste like a liquid candy cane. There’s no green tea to speak of in the flavor profile, and I do wonder why they even bothered with it (vs. a purely peppermint base). Anyway, this is a nice decaf option – especially for the price – if not quite in the same league as Butiki’s Peppermint Patty, my current favorite peppermint blend.

anyone would love this tea

I tried this Trader Joe’s Ginger Pear White Tea for the first time today. I let it steep for about 3 minutes and added a bit of honey. It has a deeper color than I expected. As far as flavor, the ginger surprised me with a little spicy kick. It is definitely warming but not overpowering. The pear flavor was a little less noticeable to me. I drank this hot but I would love to try it iced. I think it would be lovely that way.

If you like your tea to taste like weak cardboard/sawdust with one bag per cup and like full-brewed cardboard/sawdust with two bags per cup, then this is the tea for you. It’s awful. I know, I know, it comes from a chain store and you get what you pay for, but stick to Twinings for grocery store tea that is potable. I’m actually going to take it back to Trader Joe’s for a refund, since the manager who talked me into buying it told me to bring it back if I didn’t like it. I"m sure he didn’t expect the return, but it is awful tea.

It’s a good tea, but lacks in vanilla taste. A good alternative is Celestial Seasonings Nutcracker Sweet.
