At first when I tried this tea, I thought… “this is nice but needs some sugar.” So, I added a 1/2 tsp of sugar. Then when I drank it I thought it was too sweet, like sweet water.

So, I brewed another cup and left out the sugar this time. After several sips I realized it did not need any sugar at all. However, it still just tasted like sweet water to me. Couldn’t finish the cup.

Sorry, not a fan :(

This tasted very lemony, orange and zesty to me. Was worth a try and some others may really enjoy it. The bag smelled very nice and the leaves looked like confetti potpourri.

This is a very delicious tea! Before it I tried Earl Grey Creme by Teavana and was wondering if there was a similar tasting tea but without the bergamot. I think I almost found it!

There was a pleasant creamy taste to this tea and I couldn’t figure out what it was. Then I read the reviews on Steepster and discovered that it is coconut! Usually I am not a big fan of coconut but in this tea it is very good!

Will be stocking this in my cupboard!

I found this tea to be very delightful. Unlike other Earl Grey teas I have tried, the bergamot is not as strong. It also has a creme finish which is very enjoyable. I’ll be stocking this one in my cupboard :)

I just wonder if there is another black tea that tastes similar without the bergamot and just the cream?

I was lured into buying this tea from Teavana during my last trip there. The store mixed Wild Orange Blossom with Youthberry and it tasted so delicious! So, of course I had to buy both kinds to recreated the flavor sensation (it was cold brewed).

However, when I got home I couldn’t get that same amazing taste. After doing a little research it seems Teavana puts a lot of sugar in their cold brews in the store (something I did not know about) and I don’t want to drink tea that way (too many empty calories!)

Anyways I tried this tea alone and it is kind of bitter. I never tried it with sugar, so maybe that would have helped. However, it is a great tea to use as a mix with other teas. Its very cheap too and I read that other reviewers do the same!

If you like orange, get it and mix it with other teas you enjoy.

This is very delicious tea! The aroma itself is amazing too. I just love smelling the bag of tea and the fragrance it emits in the room after brewing. Adding a 1/2 tsp of sugar really brings the flavors out even more. Will definitely stock this one in my cupboard and treat any friends that stop by.

Will have to try this again. Maybe my taste buds are fried from sampling too many different teas. Felt this was not as jasmine flavored as teavana or harney and sons.

Tasted grassy to me. Didn’t taste much apricot flavor.

Sometimes adding just half a teaspoon of sugar brings out the flavour :)

I’m very new to tea. I received two types of Teavana tea for Christmas – Jasmine Oolong and English Breakfast. The Oolong was so tasty it got me hooked on this new tea tasting adventure. I have not found any tea I like better than it yet.

I’m now in the process of buying samples from various stores online to find other blends I like.

So far these are my favorite teas:

- Teavana Jasmine Oolong

- Teavana Earl Grey Creme

- Harney & Sons Wedding Tea (caramel and lemon)

- Harney & Sons Indian Nimbu (vanilla and lemon)

- Harney & Sons Wenshan Baozhong (tastes like warm bread)
