This is quite good, albeit expensive at if you consider it as one packet = one cup. I bought mine on discount at $10 per pack of 10. For reference, this is an herbal tea and dehydrated fruit pairing. You simply add hot water and the tea bag, and a beautiful mocktail is created!
I’ve made my sampler last by refilling the mug grandpa style, or just making a massive pitcher with a single pack. I don’t really find that it impacts the flavour much and it helps me get my daily water intake.
Out of the 4 options, this one might be my fave, though I’ve yet to try the mango/lemongrass version. Something about mint mixed with fruit is super refreshing. And nobody else in the house seems to enjoy the combo so it’s all for me. To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of tropical fruits, but this? this I can get behind. It could easily turn into an addiction :)
If I see them at the festival next year, or elsewhere, I’ll pick some up no question. Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a free shipping threshold and I’d rather grab an extra set next time than pay the fee to fedex!

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
