Vanessa's review: "There is no mistaking the lemon in this tea; the lemon is evident in the aroma of the dry leaves, but even more so in the flavor. It seems as if a couple of lemon wedges should be floating in my glass. " Read review » |

Kari's review: "Ancient Emerald Lilly is actually made from old growth tea trees which gives this green tea a much stronger, more mature flavor." Read review » |

Rishi Tea Mahgreb Mint
8.1/10 — 5 reviews

Nicole's review: "This blend was exotic tasting and a little spicier than I expected from a mint tea. The liquorish adds a nice sweet flavor without being overbearing." Read review » |

Christine's review: "The genmaicha was excellent, but the other two were so-so at best. I think it really depends on personal taste and whether or not you actually like any of these flavors iced." Read review » |
|
7/10 |
 |
Katie's review: "The overall flavours of the assorted teas are what I would consider good mid-range representatives of sencha, oolong, and genmai. They aren't excellent, but they're good enough that the convenience and extra health benefits makes them a good staple to have around." Read review » |
|
8/10 |
 |
Vanessa's review: "This tea impressed me for 2 reasons: first, even though I used VERY cold water, the powder dissolved almost instantly and with little effort, and second, the taste was so pure and crisp, it was hard to believe this came from powdered tea leaves and not from a more laborious leaf-steeping infusion process."

Babette's review: "The color of this tea is a lovely golden brew and the flavor is naturally sweet and nut-like." Read review » |
|
7.5/10 |
 |
Shane's review: "The flavor that sticks out in this one is the wonderful nuttiness, like chestnuts or walnuts. There is also a bit of floral hints mixed in and really come out in the aftertaste." Read review » |
|
9.5/10 |

Kari's review: "The taste was mild and smooth - like green tea - with no astringency to speak of, and a hint of nuttiness." Read review » |

Numi's review: "The flavor is dry, fragrant, and subtle with a smooth medium body - very satisfying. There is a trace of something floral, but it's more a feeling than an identifiable trait." Read review » |
|

Vanessa's review: "Light and crisp, with a creamy and nutty/soy aftertaste... tastes more like a green tea than an oolong. Rishi has done it again!" Read review » |

9.5/10 |

Shelly's review: "Slightly bitter, but mellow, with a deep smoky flavor. Not quite the sweet and fruity flavor described on the Rishi web site, but enjoyable nonetheless." Read review » |

Rishi Genmai Green 100% Premium Tealeaf Powder

Nicole's review: "It was refreshingly mild and sweet with just a hint of the roasted flavor from the rice. I love the fact that these powders are unsweetened. I would definitely recommend this tea." Read review » |

Rishi Tea Bao Zhong
7.7/10 — 10 reviews









 |
Laura's review: "The 2nd infusion provided with exactly what I was looking for where oolongs are concerned---the ability to pick up on a variety of notes (aka complexity)." Read review » |
|
7/10 |
 |
Joe's review: "... if you like oolongs, I can’t imagine that you won’t enjoy Rishi’s Bao Zohng." Read review » |
|
7.5/10 |
 |
Christine's review: "It reminded me of very light green tea, with absolutely no astringency. Since oolongs can almost always be steeped at least a few more times, I did steeped a twice more, and each time the flavor became a bit more delicate, but still absolutely delicious." Read review » |
|
8/10 |
 |
Kari's review: "Bao Zhong’s taste is more on the green side of oolong with a delicate taste but not overly grassy like some green teas." Read review » |
|
6.5/10 |

Babette's review: "I like the whole mouth sensation of this tea and the bit of buzz as my first morning tea. It is sweet without additives and I have no reason to want to add anything to this tea." Read review » |

Christine's review: "If you're looking for a complex flavor, this is the one to try; each cup reveals a bit more to the drinker, so things never get old while drinking." Read review » |
|
7/10 |
 |
Troy's review: "One admirable trait of this Oolong is that its leaves expand fairly intact and seem to fill a pot even if you only use a few pellets. This is a good thing because it makes for a nice strong cup without having to use up the whole tin." Read review » |
|
6/10 |

Numi's review: "A nice crossover from jasmine green teas; this is a bit darker in flavor and the floral aroma is strong enough to be appealing and not overpowering at all." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "This tea has a smoothness to it, despite a pretty strong floral element... definitely a thumbs up from me." Read review » |

Rishi Tea Citron Green
7.6/10 — 2 reviews









Rishi Tea Tropical Crimson Iced Tea
7.6/10 — 3 reviews









 |
Laura's review: "This one certainly has an interesting flavor profile. The overwhelming taste is that of the tart hibiscus with a peppermint backdrop. The mint adds some coolness that makes this special." Read review » |

Katie's review: "All in all, it's a well thought out, well mixed summer blend." Read review » |
|
7.5/10 |

Vanessa's review: "This tea is best described as a mix of mint and citrus flavors, with a slightly tart finish. With the exception of the licorice root, I was able to taste how each ingredient brought a special little something to this tea. " Read review » |

Rishi Tea Osthmanthus Silver Needle
7.6/10 — 9 reviews









 |
Geoff's review: "As far as taste goes, Silver Needle is the dominant flavor here, which says something about Rishi's white tea source. In many blends, white tea might take a backseat because of its marked subtlety. Here, the white tea comes across as strong, but not overbearing." Read review » |
|
8.5/10 |

Katie's review: "The flavour is crisp and generally light, making it an excellent tea for cleansing the palate while you eat." Read review » |

Brad's review: "This merger of flavors is adventurous, but results in a marginal product." Read review » |
|
5/10 |

Laura's review: "The floral component is more subdued in the cup than it was in the aroma---though don't let that comment fool you into thinking that it is not there. There are also distinctive honey and apricot/peach notes in the cup." Read review » |
|
7/10 |
 |
Vanessa's review: "The flavor of this tea was very sweet and fruity, with a hint of flowery notes. I would definitely recommend this tea to others, regardless of whether they prefer floral teas, fruity teas, or unflavored teas, as I think that this product has qualities that will appeal to everyone.

Rishi Tea Peppermint Rooibos
7.3/10 — 7 reviews

Kari's review: "If you are a fan of mint and like rooibos, drink this." Read review » |
|
6.5/10 |
 |
Vanessa's review: "The peppermint leaves and the peppermint oil provide an intense minty flavor which is deep and invigorating. The rooibos, being a more subtle flavor, takes the backseat on the flavor profile, but certainly lends a much-needed sweetness to the tea." Read review » |

Rishi Tea Organic Cinnamon Plum
7/10 — 11 reviews

Sophie's review: "This inspired combination produces a warming yet soothing blend: at the forefront is the hibiscus' slight astringency, followed by the sweetness of the fruit and the final flourish of the licorice root.
