This tea smells so amazing! And yet…it doesn’t really taste like anything. I had so much hope when I opened up my bag, but it’s really watery, no matter how long or how hot I steeped it.

Is it a “pure” matcha? No. But it is a very smooth drink and a lot easier on people who either haven’t had matcha before or don’t care for it. The powdered coconut milk provides a nice balance of creamy sweetness against the strong grassy/green flavor of the matcha.

Very floral, but pleasant, tea. The tulsi was there as a background flavor, but the overall feel was of sipping the smell of roses in the sun.

A very pleasant, smooth black tea. Not prone to coppery aftertaste unless severely over brewed, and holds for 2-3 re-steeps.

Big chai fan, but I definitely didn’t like this one. If you like or don’t mind anise, this may be fine for you, but the flavor was overwhelming and very unpleasant for me.

Best chai I’ve had in a very long while. Spicy without being overwhelming and strong enough to hold up against sweetener and heavy cream

I’ve never been a huge fan of iced tea because it’s usually either strong and bitter (over brewed) or insanely sweetened.

Design a Tea’s Ice Wine is the perfect tea, at least if made at home. It’s sweet enough from the flavorings to suit a sweet tea drinker, but not cloying enough to bother someone who prefers unsweetened.

Flavors: Fruity, Grapes, Honey
