Sophie's review: "This is a tea that is well worth steeping again and again. It's well rounded flavour profile seesaws between cocoa, caramel and fruit notes, and savoury toasted bread and popcorn flavours." Read review » |

Dan's review: "A good, strong, and full-flavored Irish Breakfast tea. The bold astringency comes shining through even at a minimal steeping time. Notes of lemon are evident, and it takes very well to cream and sugar.... or Bailey's. " Read review » |

Melanie's review: "The taste was very full bodied. It took milk well and had such a lovely natural sweetness that I only used a bit of sugar, and had several cups with no sugar. It was lightly malty with a floral background. Definitely the best Irish Breakfast blend I've ever had!" Read review » |

Dan's review: "A proper level of astringency, with a slight spicy bite to it, all while presenting a unique twist on the similar umami flavor profile of a Yunnan (Dian Hong) tea." Read review » |

Jamie's review: "I wouldn't expect this tea to grab hold of you and cause you to forget your other breakfast tea favorites but it's not a bad tasting tea, either. It seems to lack some of the oomph, maltiness and strength that the Indian black tea single sources or blends have set as my breakfast tea standards. " Read review » |

Lynn's review: " A splash of half and half brought out the surprisingly complex flavors of spice, wood, tobacco, and honey sweetness. The finish was sweet and woody, with lots of mouth-drying pull that left me primed for the next sip. " Read review » |

Geoff's review: "The liquor possessed a bitter foreground taste, a malty and floral middle (never thought I'd associate those two together), and a bit of a dry finish." Read review » |

Katie's review: "I think they deliver exactly what they promise - it tastes like tea version of a hot apple pie with a bit of extra fruit bite added, though it smells more strongly of cinnamon than it tastes." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "I was pleasantly surprised by this tea. For me, the apple-cinnamon component was most prominent, with the mango providing a sweet background for the apples and cinnamon." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "An interesting blend for those that would like to try a mixture of green tea leaves from different origins. Proper brewing is absolutely essential to avoid a harshly bitter aftertaste, but if brewed properly, this is a robust morning blend that can rival the typical black tea breakfast blends.

Vanessa's review: "Although this was, by name, an oolong, it was very different from any other oolong I have sampled. With its crisp and vegetal flavor, this is a tea that I would have pegged for a Darjeeling." Read review » |

Dave's review: "As the first Kenyan tea that I’ve tasted, I had high hopes for this one, but I was disappointed. The fruity, floral components were let down by a lack of body, and overpowered by bitterness. " Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "This tasted like any other supermarket variety black tea and lacked any standout quality. I would certainly drink this tea if it was the only tea available, but I can’t envision many situations where I would choose this tea over another option. " Read review » |
