I like it :) Very light and fragrant like a citrus green tea.

I forgot about this and waay oversteeped it, so I’m not going to give an official rating just yet. The tea smelt really good, but didn’t taste like it had any sweetness even though I added sugar, no doubt because the tea had gone bitter. Eh, next time.

I’m kinda meh on this one for my first impression. The flavor is not as strong as I expected. I even used an extra half teaspoon of tea for my 8 oz. It tasted like a weak version of the rooibos almond. Not very unique.

I like this tea. It tastes just like Celestial Seasonings Decaf Chai tea. Wasn’t quite strong enough for me though, so I’ll have to do 3 teaspoons in my 16 ounce cup next time, rather than two.

With this tea I get a strong scent and taste of artificial cherry. Not that bad. I don’t get any kind of nutty or almond flavor, but the cherry taste grew on me by the end of the cup. It HAS to be boiling though, or it will have no taste. I learned on the second steeping. Its either that, or this tea doesn’t resteep well.

Side note: This is also the first use of my new Republic of Tea travel press.

Drinking this as iced tea right now. The flavor isn’t amazing, but it is pleasant :)

Had a cup of Rosemary Leaf tea with two wedges of orange squeezed in. Could’ve been better. I need to let it steep longer next time so the orange isn’t so overpowering.

For a tea that is a mix of three different herbs, this tastes pretty one dimensional, kind of like sipping on liquid candy cane. That being said, I like it. Enough to repurchase? Hmmm, for that, we’ll have to see. I think this tea would probably be pretty easy to mix up on my own, having chamomille, peppermint, and rooibos in my cupboard separately. Seeing how this tea is sooo pepperminty, I’ll definitely want to drink some peppermint by itself tonight and see how it compares.

I use this everyday, several times a day and I can’t imagine loose leaf without it. The strainer is like an armored wall of defense against stray bits of tea, even for rooibos. The only thing that bother me is that sometimes not all of the liquid drains out on its own. Some of the liquid will be left underneath the strainer and I will have to manually push with my finger until everything drains out.

Tried this tea again with 3 teaspoons instead of the 1 teaspoon per 8 ounces and also doubled my sugar. Amazingly this tea still produced a pretty weak flavor so I’ll have to reserve it for blends and iced tea.
