Almonds are a member of the genus Prunus, which also includes plums, cherries and apricots. Despite its commonly-used classification, the almond is actually a seed, not a nut. Almonds originated in Persia and have long been a central part of Middle Eastern cuisine. In holistic medicine, almonds are believed to aid digestion, prevent cancer and improve the complexion. Studies have also shown them to reduce cholesterol. Followers of Ayurvedic medicine believe that almonds have anti-inflammatory and immunity boosting effects, and that they are beneficial for both the brain and nervous system.

Laura's review: "First and foremost you taste the tea--which in my strongly brewed cup has a nice body and is somewhat drying on the tongue. Then you begin to taste the cherry. It comes in at the end and lingers." Read review » |

Dan's review: "A perfectly-named tea, evocative of so many warm, sweet, comforting pastries that a cup (or three) sits just-right on this brittle, cold winter day as I write. " Read review » |

Laura's review: "To me, the cup tastes like a pastry with a bit of almond drizzle and cinnamon in the fold. Though it leans a little heavier on the almond flavor than it might sound. " Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "This tea has a strong almond flavor component which is complemented by the sweet cinnamon flavor. This tea has presence; the flavor is strong and enduring." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "Ideal for those that want a break from the standard black teas, but still want a rich and hearty morning brew that provides comparable chemical stimulation." Read review » |

Shelly's review: "MatéVana tastes like a typical roasted maté with a mellow sweetness in the background, though I wish the chocolate and almond flavors popped a little more." Read review » |

Laura's review: "While I liked this blend to a certain extent, I do feel that its given name is poorly chosen. I try not to fault a blend for being poorly named, but its name does set up expectations. If I am purchasing a blend called Gingersnap Cookie, then I am thinking it will have ginger in it and a cookie quality." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "The fruit and nut ingredients also impart a natural sweetness to the tea, so no additional sweetener was necessary. This was a surprisingly tasty rooibos blend, and one that will go wonderfully with desserts." Read review » |

Katie's review: "I think this would be better as a bolder tea since the flavours are so rich, and the flavouring is really, really good, so I want more of it." Read review » |

Brad's review: "An overwhelming vanilla scent undermines an otherwise balanced and interesting tea." Read review » |

|
Vanessa's review: "While I enjoyed the pairing of almond and vanilla, the poor oolong kind of got lost in the mix. I think the almond and vanilla ingredients used in this blend would have been even better if blended with a hearty black tea that could stand up to these srong flavors. " Read review » |

Numi's review: "The effect is pleasant and relaxing. It's not quite sweet enough to be a dessert tea for me; it's better suited as an accompaniment to tasty afternoon treats. " Read review » |

Shane's review: "A flavor-filled brew packed with nuts and chocolate which both go very well together. A repurchase for me, but a once-in-a-while tea for special occasions." Read review » |

Lea's review: "Nutty and sweet, but a bit strange-tasting... not particularly awful, but definitely not a repurchase." Read review » |

Stephen's review: "Really a brilliant blend... A perfect desert or late-night tea when you've a hankering for something slightly sweet. Thumbs way up on this one." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "In this case, the tea itself really is a minor player in the flavor profile. The nuts and pineapple come through the strongest. I was really impressed with how well all of the flavors melded together." Read review » |

Lea's review: "While I don't like the flavors together, the tea and walnut would be nice on their own. The walnut would be really good in a mild black tea or oolong (too strong and the walnut flavor might get lost). " Read review » |

Rebekah's review: "Not bad as a regular black tea, but not quite as flavorful a dessert tea as the name might lead you to expect." Read review » |

Laura's review: "You can tell that David's Tea spared no expense when creating the blend. This does remind me of a fruity, orange-cinnamon holiday blend. I find myself wishing it had a little ginger in it as I do love ginger." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "This tea's flavor in no way matches its name and there really isn't even a smidgen of almond flavor, but if you happen to be looking for a heavily-scented and flavored rose tea, this wouldn't be a bad selection. " Read review » |

Christine's review: "The taste, admittedly, is not my favorite, and I believe I've had a few other teas which taste similar, but it is by no means bad. I think it's the almond that stands out a bit more than the other flavors, with just a hint of cinnamon." Read review » |

Joe's review: "Chai without black tea is like salsa without jalapeños. " Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "Overall, this wasn't a bad chai, and while it was certainly enjoyable, it lacked anything that would qualify it as remarkable." Read review » |
6.5/10 | |
|
Dan's review: "An Indian Green tea with generous almonds and varied spices - but overall too gentle to be categorized with other spiced chais. A nice nightcap with a bit of milk and sugar." Read review » |
6.0/10 |
|
Christine's review: "The brewed liquor is surprisingly light, but no less delicious-looking. And the final product is surprisingly complex, and actually fairly similar the Turkish Apple tea. It's not as strong as the scent, but it's not necessarily weak, either." Read review » |

Babette's review: "This isn’t a strong tea. I don’t think that over-brewing it would make it too bitter to enjoy. And it is very smooth with a delicate sweetness. Even sweet tea lovers could be satisfied with this sans additional sugar." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "Rather than melding tea base and flavors together, the oolong tea was first on the palette, followed separately by a general fruit-and-nut flavor." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "For the most part, this tea drinks like a naturally nutty rooibos with a tiny smidge of added almond. This tea failed to deliver the apple flavor that its name suggests." Read review » |

Brad's review: "This is not as much an oolong as a floral tea. It's bold and heavy." Read review » |

Shaiha's review: "A very mild nutty oolong." Read review » |

Laura's review: "The subtle fruity taste does give this interest that many highly floral teas don't offer. However, I was expecting a totally different tea when I selected this sample and find myself somewhat disappointed." Read review » |
