Lemony fresh and uplifting with a ginger finish makes for a refreshing cup of tea. While the taste was great, I felt it was lacking substance. Generally I tend to blend herbal teas with other types of teas, as herbal teas always seem to be lacking something. As such I have paired this with a chai and blended them together, and they seem to cover each others weaknesses beautifully.

A decent green tea. I detected notes of banana, similar to a hefeweissen beer, nuts, and artichoke. This tea was much sweeter than I had anticipated, and while not overwhelmingly sweet, it made the tea slightly less pleasant. A well rounded flavor profile, and a good afternoon relaxing tea. There’s nothing too outstanding to make me go out of my way to seek this tea out.

This chai is a little weaker for the first half of the cup, but then becomes stronger towards the end. Normally I am a fan of this sort of heterogeneity, but the initial taste is fairly weak, and even near the bottom of the cup, it is still weaker than most other chais. I would recommend using more than the recommended amount/per unit water. The recommended steeping directions create a less than satisfying tea experience. The tea itself is fine, no bitterness, and hints of citrus and orange mixed with faint spices would be a pleasant combination if presented in proper amounts. Milk isn’t necessary, and it may actually harm the flavor of this chai by covering up many of the already subtle flavors.

Delicious tea tea that will leave you craving more. Buttery, nutty finish that lingers for a while after sipping. Light, but leaves one satisfied with a savory taste. Fantastic aroma and color. Steeps well but tends to leave a fine residue at the bottom of the cup when using a metal filter. This tea is everything I could ever want in a green tea, and more!
