I try to avoid having this tea because it’s such a pain to prepare just right. But unfortunately I got stuck with a little tin of 22g to finish, and not to mention a few samples that were stuck in some of my DT orders. Sooo. I’m trying to slowly sipdown whats left of this tea. It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s more like a love/hate relationship. It very easily oversteeps or burns and then it tastes HORRIBLE. But I’ve figured out that you only need to steep it for 1 minute or even less. Especially if you don’t have a temperature variable kettle.
Anyway, this tea is very floral tasting, and also can taste the jasmine flavours in it. I’m not a huge fan of jasmine, but it’s okay in this tea I guess. It’s drinkable, but I wouldn’t buy it.
Hopefully I can sipdown what’s left of it in my cupboard…

Was going through my tea cupboard and found a sachet of this. It smells very fruity and lovely in the sense that it’s sweet. I may have tried this once before, but I can’t remember. The first thing I taste is sweet orange, and its very good. I added a little sugar to enhance the taste, although I’m sure it could go without. I just really love orangey kind of teas. I haven’t found many of them so far.
The only thing I don’t like about this tea is there’s a weird aftertaste I cannot place. It has been sitting in my cupboard, so maybe that’s it. But it’s nothing I can’t handle. This tea is still sweet and fruity goodness.

This tea is a good straight tea, another one to be careful with steeping. It has a little honey taste to it, perhaps it would be even better if I added honey or milk to it.

This is another good apple tea. Although be careful not to oversteep. I had it at 4 mins today and it was good but if I left it any longer it would be too bitter. I like this tea, with a bit of sugar to bring out the apple flavour, it’s yummy. It does have a bit of a caramel aftertaste, but I don’t mind it.

I didn’t like this tea iced, so I gave it one more try hot… Still not enjoying it much. It has some weird ingredients going on, though. So maybe that’s why. It’s not bad – I can taste the fruitiness, which is good. But I guess there’s just something in it that I don’t like.

I don’t usually drink Teavana, but this is probably one of the only teas I really enjoy from there. I got quite a few sachets of it, and it’s pretty nice. It has a really nice peach flavour to it, and something else about it makes it sweeter than other teas. It’s definitely a lovely blend considering it’s from Teavana.

This is an alright apple tea. It’s very spicy tasting of course. Not my favourite apple tea but this is still good and great for the Fall season. Only downside is how bulky it is, and its tendency to be waay too strong if oversteeped.

I had a couple of samples of this tea so I could try it, and I decided I should do that now. Dry leaf this smells of play-doh, honestly. I don’t know why… I steeped it for not even a minute because it seems like a strong black tea. It already has flavour. Upon the first sip I could taste the walnut, and maybe a bit of banana, but the walnut is definitely the dominant taste. Overall this isn’t too bad. But if I tried this when it first came out so long ago, it wouldn’t be something I’d buy more of. But I am glad I got to try it.

So I’ve had this tea before, and it was good. So I got myself some more (a tin of it actually) and the second time I had it, it wasn’t the same. It had likely steeped too long or got burnt… Some teas are very sensitive and this one if definitely one of them. So this time I tried it at 80 degrees C and let it steep only for 2 and a half minutes. That’s much better, and it actually could’ve done at 2 minutes exactly. I added a little sugar and it was pretty good. It’s a pretty simple (tasting) tea. Green tea, and grapes- of course. It’s probably the only grape tea I like so far. I’m gonna have to write down the specific prep for this tea for future reference.

I tried this a long while ago, and it tasted and smelled like cough medicine. End of story. BLECH.
