i love oolongs, sumatra tea, and purple. but this tea did not live up to expectations. also, why are you supposed to steep this at 206, won’t that scald it? i just don’t see this being the next big thing. wanted to love this, but now that i’ve tried it, i don’t even care to have a second steeping, so there you go.

smells incredible, but the taste is lackluster. even with sugar, it is bland and doesn’t live up to the aroma and description. sorry, but there you go.

i think i would have liked this without the lemongrass in it. for me, lemongrass is a sour flavor that detracts from the enjoyment. this reminded me of thai soup, and i wanted a sweet soothing tea, not thai soup. i realize many many people love lemongrass, and if you are one of those people, you will like this tea. so there you go.

sounds so good, but its really rather boring. i do not taste blueberry cheesecake. i smell it, maybe, but this would be a pretty disappointing dessert if this mug of tea was all i got. i can’t say as i am impressed.

i thought gunpowder was gunpowder, but side by side with other gunpowders, this brand disappointed. it is less sweet and feels rougher in the mouth and overall has less flavor. granted, you probably wouldn’t notice if it wasn’t side by side with others, because really what kind of person sits around comparing gunpowders? ah well, there you go.

absolutely fantastic herbal tea. love it both iced and hot, but especially hot, in winter. the rooibos gives it great body and sweetness, and the other spices are blended strongly enough that they come out on top of the rooibos and give it potent cinnamon/orange aroma and taste. i share this tea with everyone.
