Laura's review: "While many Ginger Peach or Ginger Orange blends are heavy on the fruit and light on the ginger, this one has a more pronounced ginger flavor. The fruits are the backdrop for the ginger, and the white tea holds its own and is not overpowered." Read review » |

Geoff's review: "This is one of those teas that BEGS to be sweetened. Not to mask the taste, but accentuate. If you want to taste strawberry shortcake in a cup, sweeten this." Read review » |

Troy's review: "This tea has the soft tones of flowers, and strawberries, all wrapped in mild vegetable flavors, like the slight aftertaste of broccoli soup, or asparagus before the aftertaste." Read review » |

Numi's review: "The tea itself is very lightly scented; I can barely detect anything until I'm about to take a sip, and then it's a faint, warming floral. The tea has a medium body and tastes fairly plain." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "The lemon flavors are more noticeable than the white tea itself, but not overwhelmingly so. This tea offers the slighly spicy lemongrass flavor as well as sweeter lemon notes." Read review » |

Dan's review: "This is a delicious rose tea - it excels above and beyond many other rose teas I've encountered, and seems very fresh, and a very nice balance of flavor without being overpowering. If you have never encountered one and are looking to expand your palate, I heartily recommend this one." Read review » |

Jamie's review: "It was more a balanced marriage of flavors than a starring role/supporting actor style presentation. The blueberry flavor was light and a consistent overtone working with the also consistent presence of the white tea flavor. I really enjoyed this aspect of the tea." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "This tea’s predominant flavor is a mixture of ginger, lemon-citrus, and an unexpected soap-like element. The ginger is by far the most noticeable ingredient. The raspberry flavor was pretty elusive, but was most detectable in the aftertaste, providing for a sweet finish to an otherwise sharp and crisp tea. This tea is, in a word, intriguing.

Jamie's review: "Perhaps the raspy finish to the voice of this tea isn't perfect, but it engages my senses similarly to the way that a female vocalist like Stevie Nicks does. Ponder that. Hopefully it makes some sense! " Read review » |

Geoff's review: "All that said, it still fell in the "decent" category for one specific reason. It handled sweetener spectacularly. I would go as far as to say that a dash of stevia is required to bring out the strawberry tone." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "This tea has a sweet flavor to it that certainly tastes more like vanilla than coconut. I can't help but wish that there were a stronger coconut contribution to this blend." Read review » |

Christine's review: "And the brewed tea had the same sweetness, though it was just a touch. Otherwise it was the delicate flavor that white teas are known for. However, there wasn't much more than that. It wasn't bad by any means, but it lacked the depth that many other white teas present." Read review » |

Erika's review: "The flavor had a roasted taste and I was left searching for anything that even remotely tasted of grapefruit." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "As far as taste goes, this tea does have a definite grapefruit flavor, although it is not an overwhelming flavor and you'll probably have to focus and seek it out to really get it. That earthy-mushroom quality I noticed in the aroma was also present in the flavor, and actually was more noticeable to me than the grapefruit flavor was. " Read review » |
