431 Tasting Notes

I really enjoyed this tea. A wonderful aroma before the steep and it remains constant after it has been steeped. It is very reminiscent of the flavors of India. I delicious blend. I do wish there was a little more rose. Other than that wonderfully flavorful and light. A must try.

Not bad at all. I am getting a nice light citrus feel to this one. Something tells me I will want to try this iced. I did not add any sweetener, it is just straight up. However, all the flavors mix very well. I will add more once I have tried it other ways.

The tea wasn’t as light and crisp as I hoped it would be. More like a syrup but I am almost sure if iced it would be much better. So now that it has been reformulated I will have to reorder it and try it again. However, as is it wasn’t terrible it was good but just now what I expected to be. The new version contains mostly citron green with small percentages of apricot and vanilla. I will add more notes as soon as I ice the original version of what I have reviewed.

I enjoyed this tea very much. More than I expected to. I really got the “green” feeling that I was hoping for in this tea. The peppermint and lime mix very well together, enough to say it has created a new flavor on it’s own. The rum however is more in the background which is interesting since it that the highest percentage in the tea. I also enjoyed this tea better with sweetener versus none. I would give this one a try.

Delicious! I love the earthy taste I get off of this tea. The flavor of brown rice and popped corn make my mouth happy. If you are looking for a tea that is robust, buttery earthy, and rich in flavor than look no further. Truly a tea that has made it into my regular rotation. FYI, I make mine a little stronger for a bolder flavor.

I felt this tea was a more of a delicate tea. Something to sip with my little pinkie extended of course. Ha-Ha :o) It has a mellow peach flavor with a touch of vanilla and almond in the back. I’ll bet this would taste amazing iced with a little sweetener. Delicious.

In it’s defense this tea has probably been in the pass for some time and by the time I got it, it probably lost a lot of flavor and maybe took on the flavors of the other teas in the box. As a result, it was not good. Basically flavored water with all ingredients unidentifiable when tasting. I am sorry, but I probably need to taste a fresh batch.

Sorry you had a bad experience but something indeed must have gone wrong as one adjective I would use describing this tea is “intense” (regardless of if you like the taste or not)

I too am surprised by the flavor or lack there off. I have had Aries and I LOVE it. I intend to review it as well but want to drink it again so my tasting notes would be fresh. However, I think what happened here is that it was left in the pass too long. I will prepare it again and if necessary I will update my rating here. I too am sorry I couldn’t write something better.

Don’t worry about it :) People are entitled to their opinion. Also nobody likes everything anyway. Perhaps you can try to steep it longer?

OMG!!! This tea is delicious. You can taste the mint in the tea but it doesn’t take over. It is smoothing and refreshing all at the same time. I am upset that I didn’t buy more than just a sample of the tea. I will get the bigger tin next time.

I enjoyed this tea but did hope for more based on the reviews I had already read. I wanted something a little more robust. On the upside I felt this tea had very clean and crisp taste. I enjoyed it black but also with a little honey. I will finish what I bought but I am not sure if I will buy it again.

So definitely a lot better then I thought it would be. I am happy I bought the big bag. It is slightly sweet with a honey back. Has a wonderful bouquet with a pale yellow steep. I enjoyed this more than I expected and I will buy it again.
