Very good seasonal tea! I’m not a huge fan of black tea but boy this one lives up to the name. I got a bit of this last autumn so I had to again when it got cold out. So popular for a reason – this homemade is way better than anything from Starbucks.

So good, plain or in a latte! Smooth, comforting taste. I don’t really like sencha so I wasn’t sure if I liked this but I’m glad I bought it. I can see myself having this all the time, especially with milk froth and cane sugar <3 seriously, matcha lattes are the best.

I mostly like the peppermint. It’s a not-as-good version of Cocomint Cream… my co-workers seem to like this better than I do. I don’t think I will re-buy after by 25g’s is up… I don’t taste much white chocolate and not a fan of the additives!

I like having this tea around just to surprise my guests with the combination of ingredients! Comforting and mostly tastes like almonds. Very delicate. I buy this occasionally but not necessarily a staple.

this smells EXACTLY like mango madness… and tastes pretty much the same. seriously. except more caffeine and no added white tea benefits.. although its cheaper. hm.

Hmm. The smell wasn’t as strong for me as some other people described. It smells sweet and complex, and is a nice light tea. I wish it were a bit more nutty… anyhow, the health benefits are so great and it is pretty yummy, so it will have a place in my cupboard. Second steep is way weaker and I think a third would be hot water. Also, the vegetal after taste is not off-putting at all.

This tea is great. I love the hot-throat sensation… You can re-steep this 4+ times with success. It is an every day tea for me. Does anyone else feel that when they try a tea they like, they need to automatically get a tin of it, even if they can’t afford it and have around 10 cups left…. yup. Will power must be activated until I’ve totally run out. THEN A TIN WILL BE OBTAINED IMMEDIATELY.
… I’m not crazy.

OKAY SO. At first I liked this, but then I tried it again a few times and it kind of made me sick. Didn’t taste that good… then an hour later my stomach was killing me… probably unrelated to the tea, I did have some greasy pizza that day. Sigh, I bought a tin of this, so it will be around, maybe I will come back to it and re-discover my appreciation.

What I expected: the sweet nutty taste that was described. What I got – a light, toasted rice-y flavour, not sweet, not bitter. I wasn’t sure about it at first, then I brewed it with cooler water (still warmer than room temp) a second time and it was great. The taste between the first and second infusion is definitely different imo, the second one being much lighter and less of a toasted rice-y after taste. I think it is something that will grow on me.
