I really enjoy this as a breakfast tea. It has just enough of a hint of Apple to make the black tea base interesting. It’s very smooth after a 4 minute steep with no noticeable astringency or bitterness.

Pretty standard Yunnan Black. Nothing too interesting, nor offensive. Quite round, with a lot of Chocolate notes. Bit of an earthy finish.

A really great oolong. Very buttery/creamy with a little hint of vegetal favor.

A really nice green tea to give you that little afternoon boost. It’s a pretty grassy tea with lots of vegatale notes. Not bitter in the slightest if you don’t oversteep it.

I had a sample of this tea at the bottom of my tea box. It was the loose leaf, rather than the sachet. I’m glad I found it.

This is straight black tea. It’s not trying to be anything else and that’s refreshing. I brewed up one cup hot and it was a nice, well rounded tea without any bitterness. I then brewed the rest of it up as iced tea and found it delightful. Add some ice and a twist of lemon and you are in business.

So if you’re looking for a no nonsense black tea, this is it.

This was a good tea, but nothing remarkable. Pretty solid black tea with a hint of current and a slight bite of bitterness on the end. Overall decent, but not my favorite.

I’ll preface this by saying that I’m not a fan of Earl Grey. I really can’t stand the taste of bergamot.

Luckily, this tea is not very heavy on the bergamot. I definitely get a hint that it’s there, but it isn’t over powering. More than anything it masks the white tea, making it taste more like a Ceylon.

I tried this both hot and as iced tea.

Hot, it basically tastes like a white tea masquerading as an earl grey with a hint of lemon. It was fine, but nothing spectacular.

As an iced tea, this was delicious. Honestly, in a blind taste test I would probably guess that this was a black tea with a shot of fresh lemon juice. Super refreshing.

Overall, it’s worth a go, especially if you’re fond on earl grey.

Coffe and Pu’erh are my two favorite drinks in the world. Unfortunately, I think something is lost when the two are combined. Don’t get me wrong, this is still a very drinkable tea, but it seems a little flat to me. The best pu’erhs are a complex earthy web of flavors. There are some Sumatra coffee’s that have a similar flavor profile. This tea only contains a hint of the complexity.

I brewed this up as ice tea and it is pretty good. I don’t really enjoy the taste of spearmint, so that was a mark against it in my book. However, the favors are really well balanced and it is quite refreshing. If you like mint, you’ll love this tea. If you aren’t that crazy about mint, I bet you’ll still like it, but don’t go out of your way to get your hands on some.

Overall, this is a nice, albeit standard, Puerh.

At first I was slightly put off by a faint fishy odor, but upon tasting my fears were allayed. It brews up to a wonderfully dark red-caramel color. It’s got nice earthy tones and a roundness to it. But, beyond this roundness, I don’t get too much.

A good, standard Puerh.
