12 Tasting Notes
I originally was underwhelmed by this fruity tea, but then took an iced-tea press sized sample out of town with me. As we were sight seeing, I kept adding water-fountain water to the used tea in my press, swirled it, re-pressed it, and it was drinkable. I don’t normally do that successfully.
This will go into my work rotation. Adding water definitely made it weak, but when I’m stuck at work, it’ll do.
Flavors: Fruit Punch
The first time, I forgot this was steeping and it sat for an hour. I ended up drinking it room temperature and it was fabulous. Not bitter, which surprised me.
The second time, I made it stronger to ice it, and it had less blueberry flavor than the first time.
Next – overnight steeping!
This is what I imagine when I imagine the perfect peach black tea. The balance of flavors is perfect for me. Sort of sweet, and the peach flavor comes out in a short enough brew time that the black tea doesn’t get bitter.
Flavors: Peach
Preparation
I would recommend this tea for those that like a good mojito. It does taste artificial, like a fruit flavored throat lozenge. I like the combination of raspberry, mint and lime.
This is a fruit infusion.
Flavors: Lime, Mint, Raspberry
Preparation
This is one of my favorite teas when I want some caffeine. It has a licorice flavor to it that I enjoy. I’m not overwhelmed by the vanilla (creamy) flavor, but I know it is disliked by some purists.
Flavors: Licorice
Preparation
Unlike many of the other reviewers, I found the ginger to be the main flavor in this one. The lemon stands out, but the heat from the ginger is what stays with you. I couldn’t enjoy the matcha or green tea in this one – the lemon and ginger take over.
Flavors: Ginger, Lemon
