This is one of the first “fancy” teas I ever tried and it was a staple for years… I think I’m on my 4th tin of it by now. The appeal has kind of waned over the years, though. It’s a decent enough vanilla blend, but there are way more interesting/exciting ones available now. It’s very smooth and the almond kind of tones down the vanilla a bit but I think I like other teas better at this point.

Hmm, not impressed. First time trying this, so I’ll give it another chance before I dismiss it completely!

I hadn’t had this for a while and I remember liking it much more than I did today. The first cup I brewed steeped way too long (8 minutes or so) and was so bitter I had to throw it out and start all over. The second time I only brewed for 4-5 minutes and it was much better, but not as good as I’d remembered.

One of my faves!

Another winner from Vermont Liberty Tea Co.! The ingredients on the tin list lime leaves, papaya, pineapple & mandarin orange and there were bits of something (either papaya or pineapple, I’m guessing) in there. It’s a really tasty blend with a great smell (I can’t quite pin down what it smells like, but I can pick out the orange). Very nice, great colour too.

It’s been a while since I drank this. I didn’t remember it having much flavour but this time I over-steeped it and it’s a tad bitter. I’m not a huge fan of white teas but this is a nice blend and smells wonderful!

This is pretty good for an American black blend! I wouldn’t necessarily buy it, but it’s my go-to at work when I don’t bring my own tea.

This tea is so disappointing. When Lipton first came out with these “pyramid” teas, they marketed them like they were some unique, new idea… nevermind that several other companies have been making those for years. Lipton’s pyramid pouches are so small, and the actual tea is pretty low-quality. The taste is mediocre—this blend is nothing special. I like some Lipton bagged teas, but this kind isn’t worth drinking.
