drank Tropical Green by Rishi Tea

Not my favorite tea, but not the worst tea I’ve had. It trends on the bitter side and I find the lemongrass to be too overpowering. The delicious tropical fruits I was so looking forward to were masked by the spiciness of the lemongrass and overwhelming aroma and taste of ginger. I was expecting a smooth cup with traces of pineapple, papaya, etc. I haven’t tried it iced yet, but I’m hesitant to do so based on the taste when it is brewed hot.

Flavors: Bitter, Ginger, Lemongrass

Love this tea. The coconut takes a back seat to the bright hibiscus, but thanks to the coconut this tea is creamy rather than astringent (as is a common issue I find with tropical teas). Great hot or iced—it’s refreshing and a treat for any occasion. I usually brew a cup when I’m missing the sand between my toes and the calming sound of the ocean waves. I’d go as far as to say that this is like Hawaii in a cup.

Flavors: Coconut, Hibiscus, Pineapple

drank Vanilla Comoro by Harney & Sons

This was my first introduction to the world of tea. When I was 11 and thought I was sophisticated and cultured, my sister would make this for me when I slept over at her house. I drank it because I wanted to be cool like I thought she was, but I loved it from the first sip. It was delicious then and it’s delicious now. Beautiful balance of vanilla and the smokiness of the black tea. It’s balanced and smooth and a staple in my tea cupboard. Not cloying sweet, but certainly doesn’t need added sugar. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser and I love sharing it with guests now when they visit my house.

Flavors: Roasted, Vanilla

I am consistently intrigued by this tea. Every time I drink it I notice a different tasting note and aroma. When I open the tin, there is a distinct Earl Grey aroma thanks to the bergamot. When I drink it, the bergamot takes a back seat and I am left with a complex and rich cup of tea, it certainly doesn’t taste like an Earl Grey. It’s a smooth, creamy, tea with hints of caramel, bergamot, and fine nuances of malt. It’s perfect for any time of day.

Delicate and refreshing. When I drink it I am instantly transported to an English rose garden in June. It has a light profile and the rose is not overwhelming, but it certainly is the star of this tea. I can drink it anytime and never tire of it.

I had such high hopes for this tea, but sadly I was disappointed. The description caught my attention—maybe it was the delectable description or it was the fact that I had just stopped eating sugar, but I had to buy it.
Followed the instructions for steeping and was rewarded with a delicious aroma. Upon first sip discovered that the tea tasted nothing like the rich, chocolate aroma. It made for a rather weak cup of tea. Try the Double Chocolate Rooibos if you’re looking for a rich chocolate taste.
