I agree with all the other notes, this is an easy, go-to peppermint tea. Good flavor and smell. Sometimes I leave the tea bag in forever and it doesn’t really over steep. Quick brew for a before bedtime drink.

Best to let the water cool for a few seconds before steeping the tea – otherwise it gets bitters. Good jasmine tea for quick, no fuss brewing. It’s a light, floral jasmine with mild flavor.

A great morning or pick me up tea – definitely great for rainy days and reading. I really like the lighter, citrus flavor. A quick, easy to brew tea.

This is good for when I’m running late and don’t have time to go looseleaf. With Milk and honey, it’s noms.

I wanted to like this, but it really didn’t cut it for me. Too…tangy? I tried adding it to an iced blend and it didn’t help, so I gave it away to a friend who’s a bigger fan of bagged tea and pomegranates than I am.

Pleasant Lemon scent and flavor.

Made the mistake of adding whole milk one time, ack, never again. So much better black.

I generally like a stronger tea for breakfast and English breakfast sometimes seems weak to me. Some Irish breakfasts, like Stash, have a bit of a note that I like. This Irish breakfast is strong like others but without that top note. Like someone else said it is good for my morning buzz and a step above grocery store teas. I left the bag in the pot and the tea did not change over time.

I got to go to Trader Joe’s for the first time on Saturday and I picked up a bottle of this iced tea. It is really delicious. It has a nice blueberry flavor upfront with a grassy green tea finish. I really like home much you can taste the blueberry in this tea, but it isn’t sour at all. I am pretty sure that is due to the lack of hibiscus in this tea which I am grateful for. Quite a yummy bottled iced tea!

I like Earl Grey, I like Lady Grey, so why wouldn’t I like the Duchess?

Yes, indeed, I do like Duchess Grey very much! More lemony than Twinings Lady Grey, but I like that for a bit of a change.

Trader Joes has STOPPED selling this wonderful tea. Help! Please write to Trader Joe’s and ask them to reconsider. Thanks. I NEED my Dutchess Grey Tea

drank Mango Black Tea by Trader Joe's

It says that I’ve only drank this tea twice, which must be a lie since I only have one bag left! I love this tea. It’s the perfect combination of sweet fruit and malty black tea. And given the price point, I think it’s pretty comparable to Republic of Tea’s Mango Ceylon, which in my opinion is downright amazing. Maybe I just really like mango…

This one is quite good and I can see that I will easily be enjoying the whole box. Very lemony, but nice flavor that is refreshing for the morning.

This tea is sweet and tastes mostly of vanilla and mint. Makes for a decent liquid dessert or a cup that smells like a candy store. Good thing it’s decaf; I could drink this by the bucket.

As others have said, this tea is a bit “meh” compared to loose-leaf varieties. Yet for a bagged tea, it’s surprisingly good. It’s also the only bagged Pearled Jasmine I’ve ever found, and is convenient to buy during weekly shopping trips, at a very good price. A nice fall-back for those times when the loose-leaf pearled jasmine has run out.

I had a cup of this last night at book group. It tastes pretty good, but the pomegranate is pretty strong and overwhelms the white. If you’d asked me to identify what kind of tea it was, I’d have said herbal. I would not have guessed white. Even so, I liked it ok. I wouldn’t go buy it but also wouldn’t turn it down if someone offered me a cup. I had this unsweetened.

I almost always hate pomegranate teas and this STILL makes me miss TJs. Wahhh! Habenero-Lime salsa!

I know what you mean. Before we got TJ’s here we’d take empty suitcases every time we went to Boston just to fill with stuff from Trader Joe’s. Even at their worst they’re still better than any other store.

Lisbet

They have some really great unique stuff. I loved their multi-grain chips. They’ll never come to TX though- the tax on selling their alcohol is too high, they say, so the prices they’d have to charge wouldn’t fit their business model. Sigh.

Kristin

Now that you mention it… I wonder where she got this tea. There is no Trader Joes in Utah!

Lisbet

She must have a hookup :)

I’m a sucker for Earl Grey with added citrus peel, but this one is a bit too bright and lemony and I think it overpowers the bergamot in the tea. It’s still delicious, I just think of it less as an Earl Grey and more as a smooth, citrus-y black tea.

This is a solid everyday peppermint tea. I drink this when it’s late and I want a hot comforting drink without caffeine. It has a minty, refreshing taste and flavor which soothes the spirit. This particular brand of tea has a great smell and flavor and brews a great strong pot of tea. I actually like it much better than the Celestial Seasons version of mint tea because this tastes less medicinal.

Definately not the best vanilla tea out there but I think this one of the best bagged teas. We keep this one around because it’s convenient; perfect brewed double strength with equal parts water and Trader Joe’s vanilla hemp milk. They’re probably literally made for one another.
