Theres alot of flavour in this, it is nothing like the smell… After a while all I could taste was anise seed, it was sweet, it was spicy but just too much anise seed.. I’m proud that i tried this because I really was scared of the anise seed.. It’s a lovely tea for the first few sips. That’s it..
There is a LOT of ingredients in this tea. Seems like they just threw everything in here. But the only thing I could really taste is a delicious sugary cinnamon. It was best that I could only taste the cinnamon though, since I think tasting a lot of these flavors together would be really bad.
This is one of my all time favorite teas. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. It is one of those teas that you take a sip and just close your eyes and breathe in the flavor and instantly your day is better. I know that doesn’t help you know how it tastes, but it’s too delicious to put into words. It’s not too spicy like a chai and not too sweet like it’s over sugared… it’s just all around great.
Not the typical rooibos flavor. I get more of the berry flavor and the berry flavor reminds me of Celestial Seasonings Berry Zinger. That one isn’t great. I wish they didn’t add peppermint. It doesn’t belong in this tea and takes away from the other flavors. I’m a bit disappointed, as I love Good Earth’s chai…
This tea is pleasant enough but not overwhelmingly amazing, but it’s got one major thing going for it: it steeps beautifully in the water that comes out of the hot water dispenser at work, and it’s the only tea of the many I’ve tried that I can say that about. Since I can’t bring myself to bring my own kettle to work, this tea has become like a very dear friend who makes every day a little more bearable.
Preparation
A little off the mark for me. It’s not terrible to the point where I won’t finish the box I bought, but it’s a little too “grassy”, and the mint and rose hip flavors might as well not be included for how little I could actually detect them. I think this tea has convinced me that lemongrass tea is good and green tea is good, but there’s no sense trying to mix them.
Preparation
Pretty disgusting. No matter how long or how little I steep it, the aftertaste makes me gag, and after I’ve drunk any my mouth feels almost like it’s coated in some kind of film. This may honestly be the worst tea I’ve ever had. It put me off trying any other Good Earth teas for a long time.
So busy lately, ugh. Anyway, I didn’t want to waste what I had left of this, so I made a pitcher of iced tea. Still pretty gross plain. It’s drinkable with peach-flavored Crystal Light mixed in, but it still tastes really, really artificial, both before and after adding the flavoring.
I’ve been trying to find a decent bagged jasmine tea, to drink at work, where loose leaf teas are not practical.
This is not it.
I agree with others here who said the scent is very artificial. I’m not really sure how to describe the flavor; I had the first cup as is, and it sort of tasted vaguely like alfalfa, but not in a good way, with an unpleasant aftertaste I can’t quite place. I tried a second cup sweetened, making sure I followed the instructions correctly, and it didn’t taste much better. In fact, I think the aftertaste was worse.
I was dreading finishing the cup, but I managed, so I guess this isn’t the worst tea I’ve had. I don’t think I can bring myself to use the rest, though.
Preparation
Delicious fruit-candy tea! It’s like eating candy without the sugar.
I generally don’t like to use boiling or near boiling water on white tea, so I treat it similarly to green. It re-steeps well for me too; I can get two mugs out of a tea bag.
Preparation
On a vanilla level, this fails. I don’t taste any here! It is non-existant. I basically love any teas with vanilla in them. I love the Good Earth original chai. It is the best bagged chai I’ve had (which isn’t much). And this vanilla chai is basically the same as their non-vanilla chai. I have no idea why they even say it is vanilla, when it is just going to be a disappointment. So as an actual chai, it’s good but don’t expect any vanilla here.
This is my favorite bagged chai with a touch of milk and sugar. MUCH better than Tazo or Stash chai teabags- has a richer flavor that is closer to the real spiced tea made on the stove. Not as good as the chai lattes that are brewed with loose leaf tea, but delicious still
Preparation
This is a lovely tea. I’ve had the sweet & spicy herbal tea, but I don’t recall ever trying the “original” with black tea. The major spice is cinnamon, but it is a nice balance of spicy flavors and sweetness without sugar added.
My only complaint is that it tastes almost identical to the herbal tea – the black tea flavor doesn’t really seem to come through very much if at all. That’s not such a bad thing, but it would be nice to have a little more tea flavor in there. My purpose for this tea is to have another option for a bagged morning tea (with caffeine), and this will fill that role nicely.
I love Jasmine green tea, but the smell of this tea is overwhelmingly floral, in an artificial sense. I’d much prefer a more subtle jasmine that allows me to actually enjoy the green tea. It does tone down a bit once actually steeped, and I will finish the box, but I know there’s better out there. At least it’s cheap, and I don’t find it to be bitter. A good option to ice, I think.
Preparation
The smell of this tea upon opening the pouch is insanely incredible. Super fruity – like a jolly rancher. There is though a hint or something artificial about it – I can’t quite place it.
Waiting a whole 4 minutes for this thing to steep, I finally take a taste only to be super disappointed. Super weak stuff and the smell is only a faint memory. After letting it steep an extra minute, same results. It just seems like a bad knockoff of Tazo’s passion tea. It just tastes watered down.
Not bad, but not really good either. I’ll finish off the tea over the upcoming months and probably not buy it again. If anyone wants to try this, please let me know and I will send you some!
