This was my cup this morning before work. I really enjoyed it. Nothing fancy, just green tea with light ginger. Sometimes, all I want is something simple. There was no bitterness and the ginger wasn’t overpowering, very nicely balanced flavours that weren’t competing against one another.
I was lucky enough to find a box of this tea on the clearance shelf at Winners/Homesense for 4 dollars which was a steal!

Peppermint tea is always my “go-to” cup. I find that when I don’t know what else to have and I just can’t make my mind up, peppermint is the answer! It always makes me happy. This is a good one. Nice, clear, bright peppermint flavour with a hint of sweetness. For me, the chocolate in this just comes accross as the sweetness that I just spoke of. Personally, I can’t really pinpoint it as “chocolate” per se which is a tad disappointing but it makes such a welcome caffeine-free option when I spend so much time drinking mostly green tea.

This tea is gorgeous. There’s no other way to describe it. The smell of the dry tea leaves were promising and when steeping, the heavenly aroma was front and center. At first sip, I was in love. Fresh, juicy, sweet, luscious grapefruit in a beautifully light coloured liquid. So mild, so smooth, so soothing. I couldn’t ask for anything more. As perfect a tea as I’ve ever had and well deserving of my highest rating of any tea on Steepster so far!

The raspberry flavour certainly comes accross which I really enjoy. Tastes like real dried raspberrries, no artificial or chemical strangeness in here! I love quality teas and I can certainly tell the difference compared to cheap teas. I am not a tea snob but I do seem to delight in a more refined cup now and then. This one is good but it’s not one of my favourites from Stacy. The fruitiness is my favourite part but I find it a tad bitter and astringent overall and I can’t really detect the cashew. What I do detect though, is a mellow floral note which is lovely. Re-steeps wonderfully!

You can definitely taste a nice balance between the citrus and mint flavours. Neither overpowers the other. Love that it’s a green tea. Hard to beat at this price point. Bought at Winners/Homesense for a song! A tad bitter at the end but not enough to complain about. Overall, I like it!

In a word, delicious! Makes a smooth, easy-to-drink cup. Not too weak, not too strong, just right! The re-steep was just as good as the initial cup. Really enjoyed this one. Offered my Mom a cup of this as well and she also loved it so it’s double approved!

This tastes like a refreshing take on Earl Grey with the added benefits that come from being a green tea. I loved it and I made my mother one and she loved it as well. Two thumbs up!
