I love Darjeeling. I really love it with great big hearty hearts. I’d marry it if I could. I don’t know how this tea compares to any other Darjeeling. I just felt the need to proclaim my love for all of Steepster to see.

Yummy. The rose scent was gently present as I poured the cup of tea. I made a fairly light pot, only steeping for three minutes, but it was enough. The flavor is balanced, with just enough rose. Its a keeper.

Strongly reminiscent of Kool aid. I did however, really like the smell of both the dry and the brewed tea. I think I like it better than some of the other Celestial Seasonings berry teas. I got it from a friend—its not bad for a freebie, but I’m not sure I’d buy it.

Not a bad chamomile. It smells good both before and after steeping. I like chamomile, so I’m naturally predisposed to liking this. Most of the flavor I got was of chamomile, my palate must be too untested to pick up other flavors very easily. Or, they really aren’t very pronounced. I think I like the second interpretation better.

OK, so the flavors aren’t very pronounced. I think there is a definite sweet lingering effect after a drink, which could be good or bad, depending on how long you like your tea to stay with you.

The bottom line for me is that I’ll finish the box, it isn’t bad, but I think I prefer a plain jane chamomile. One that has no pretensions to be anything other than its gloriously florally-herbally self.

2nd steeping, for three minutes. A little more bitter than I would prefer. Maybe steep at 2 next time on a resteep?

Wonderful as always. Lovely as an after dinner relaxing tea. I really do like jasmine teas. I need to try some other ones though. Start refining my palate. Only steeped for one minute, didn’t pay attention to the instructions. Need to try it at two minutes sometime.

Mmmmm, coffee. Yummy. The orange, the almond, the cocoa nibs, its like decaf heaven in a cup. I haven’t really had much coffee since I recently started drinking boat-loads of tea, so this was a nice throwback to something else I enjoy. The smell is very gently coffee-like, more like a whiff than a full on olfactory assault. The taste is less coffee-like, and more almond, I think. My lack of a palate is starting to show. And annoy me! Maybe one day it will show up and I’ll experience the “waves of flavor” and be able to identify things the way other very clever note-writers do.

Resteep at 2 minutes. Don’t bother. Not worth it.
