Laura's review: " It truly does taste like a marriage of green tea and lemonade with a touch of strawberry. It is light, refreshing, and has probably the perfect balance of lemon and strawberry. It is, put simply, darn good." Read review » |
9.5/10 |

Laura's review: "This really is carrot cake in a cup and a dessert tea that will truly make you feel satisfied just like you have had a great dessert. Carrot Cake tea is absolutely the best dessert tea to cross my lips to date." Read review » |

Kari's review: "This tea really does taste like a caramel dipped apple! " Read review » |
8.5/10 | |
|
Laura's review: "This has a nice full flavor profile and the apple does dominate, but that nice caramel undertone just hits the spot for me." Read review » |
10/10 |
|
Laura's review: "The mint is the most dominant player in the blend and this is largely due to a nice amount of fresh mint and the Andes Mint pieces." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "While the strawberry is the lead player in this blend, it is not overpowering, and there really is a well-developed cake-like flavor in the blend." Read review » |
10/10 | |
 |
Stephen's review: "A strawberry-infused white tea with a well-defined toasted/vanilla background flavor... the name "Strawberry Shortcake" is aptly chosen." Read review » |
7.5/10 |
 |
Geoff's review: "The taste is decidedly more melon-like than lemon-limey, but it compliments the green tea perfectly, giving the drinker the impression of tropical fruit." Read review » |
8.7/10 |
|
Vanessa's review: "The flavor delivered exactly what the aroma promised: orange and creamy notes were both present, and truth be told, this tea did taste much like a creamsicle. " Read review » |
8.8/10 | |
|
Stephen's review: "A very close approximation to the orange creamsicle treats many of us grew up with... but be sure to brew this one only 90 or so seconds, otherwise the green tea turns a bit bitter." Read review » |
8.5/10 |
|
Laura's review: "This is definitely one the best oolongs that I have had. The floral component of the tea is prominent and is of a good flavor and quality." Read review » |
9/10 | |

Vanessa's review: "A sophisticated blend unlike any I've tried before... I very much enjoyed it, and I imagine jasmine-lovers will as well." Read review » |
8/10 | |
|
Stephen's review: "One of the best orange-flower teas I've ever had... a pleasant, lightly citrus alternative to jasmine teas." Read review » |
8.5/10 |
 |
David_A's review: "Strong flavor of hibiscus helps the tea end with a nice tang that lasts awhile. Also near the end, the orange peel is evident. This tea has nice balance. I enjoy white tea blends and this is no exception." Read review » |

Kari's review: "Chocolate and fruits always seam to be a great combination with a rooibos." Read review » |
8/10 | |
|
Laura's review: "The banana flavor seemed to dominate when the tea was hotter... chocolate became a bit more pronounced as it cooled and toward the end." Read review » |

|
Geoff's review: "Sometimes I'm glad I work alone, for I was sniffing at this repeatedly like a back-alley root beer junkie." Read review » |
7.8/10 | |
|
Vanessa's review: "The tea has a very authentic root beer flavor. Once I identified the wintergreen, I did find it to be a little overpowering, but still, all in all, this was a delicious tea and certainly not something you see every day or can obtain from any other reputable tea vendor. " Read review » |
8.5/10 | |
 |
Erika's review: "The taste was exactly as the name suggested and if you enjoy root beer, you must try this blend." Read review » |

Lea's review: "This blend is sweet and has a slight cheesecake-like bite to it. It's clean and smooth, with no bitterness. A definite must-buy." Read review » |
8/10 | |
|
Stephen's review: "The mixture of the malty Ceylon leaves with the fresh, fruity sweetness of strawberries and creamy richness of the cheesecake flavoring is just about perfect." Read review » |
8.5/10 |
|
Vanessa's review: "Overall, the standout element of this tea is its creaminess...a smooth and rich tea that is completely satisfying" Read review » |
8.2/10 |
 |
Jenn's review: " The taste of the tea ends up being a clean and crisp apple taste with some caramel drizzled over the top. The green tea barely comes through but doesn't interfere with the delightfulness of the caramel apple taste." Read review » |
8/10 | |
|
Lea's review: "The green tea here is clean and neutral, and it blends effortlessly with the other flavors of the tea. The caramel and apple are enjoyed as one harmonious flavor." Read review » |
8.5/10 | |
|
Stephen's review: "Brews up to a milky-green liquor, very sweet all on its own... the taste is like a mild mulled cider. Very tasty." Read review » |
8/10 |
|
David_A's review: "The taste of the tea is more distinct and noticeable once it has cooled some. Maybe this is a personal preference as I find this true for most teas. Also, I have found that white teas as they cool off have sweetness to them." Read review » |
8.5/10 | |
|
Lea's review: "A breezy and subtle blend that doesn't overwhelm with flavor but gets the mixture just right. Delightful and delicious." Read review » |
7.5/10 |
|
Kari's review: "Maybe you will get the image of melted chocolate chip ice cream." Read review » |
8/10 |
|
Laura's review: "Because the water cannot be too hot and the infusion time is relatively short at 2-3 minutes, I would also suggest taking a spoon and stirring the leaves a bit before releasing the liquid into the cup as this will allow the chocolate chips to dissolve a bit better flavor the cup. " Read review » |

 |
Emma's review: "The blend of flavors is fantastic; definitely a decadent tea. Not at all earthy or lacking sweetness like a lot of greens." Read review » |

|
Laura's review: "Once again, The Necessiteas has come up with a tasty blend that has called my conventional wisdom when it comes to flavors and tea into questioning." Read review » |

8/10 | |
 |
Troy's review: "The creme flavor was spot-on and the bergamot oil was strong but not sour... this is the best cup of Earl Grey I've ever had" Read review » |

Katie's review: "I would find this tea better suited to an occasional beverage rather than one I drink very often." Read review » |

Lea's review: "This tea ends on a sweet note, leaving a kiss of fruitiness on your tongue that lingers pleasantly, and isn't too tart." Read review » |
8.5/10 | |
|
Stephen's review: "A delicious and natural tasting lemon/raspberry concoction, with the fruit flavors taking front and center. There is very little actual green-tea flavor here, however." Read review » |
7.5/10 |
|
Laura's review: "I have enjoyed this a number of ways, but would like to suggest that instead of adding plain dairy that you consider adding a splash of hazelnut creamer or a splash of chocolate milk depending upon which flavor you want to accentuate." Read review » |

9/10 | |
|
Stephen's review: "An almost perfect blend of strawberry and banana flavors with a tasty but mellow green tea ... neither overpowering nor artificial-tasting. Flavored-green lovers will definitely have to give this a try." Read review » |

Emma's review: "One of my favorite smoothie combinations is strawberry banana. Second only to orange pineapple. When I saw that there was a strawberry banana tea we could try I was very excited. " Read review » |
7.5/10 |
|
Laura's review: "You might notice that this blend leaves a slight oily trace in your tea maker and in your cup that is most likely from the fat that was in the melted chocolate chips. " Read review » |
7.5/10 |
|
Vanessa's review: "Visually speaking, the chocolate and coconut pieces are most apparent, but from fragrance and flavor standpoints, this tea is all about the lime. " Read review » |
6/10 | |

Cindy's review: "While I still find this blend interesting, I feel pretty confident in saying that this tea would most likely be appreciated most by those who consider themselves huge fans of lime. " Read review » |

Laura's review: "Interestingly, this is one of those blends that I almost never drink without milk----and chocolate milk if I have it in the house (and with a 3 yr old I usually do). " Read review » |
9/10 | |
|
Stephen's review: "A deliciously unorthodox pairing that actually works. Not an everyday tea for most people, but a delicious "special-occasion" dessert tea." Read review » |
8/10 |
|
Laura's review: "The vanilla is very well done and not all vanilla is the same. Some of them taste very fake and not creamy and delicious as this one does." Read review » |
7.25/10 |
|
Vanessa's review: "The visual and aromatic properties are enticing enough to get one very excited about the tea. As far as taste, this one fell just a little short of my expectations." Read review » |

Erika's review: "Once the first sip had some time to settle in, I couldn’t help but compare this blend to a lotion or perfume." Read review » |

Brad's review: "For anyone seeking the flaky white coconut kiss on the tongue, this is probably a masterpiece." Read review » |
7/10 | |
|
Laura's review: "There is something about this tea that relaxes me without making me tired (caffeine from the black tea) and this is the type of tea that I would expect to be served at a high-end spa." Read review » |
8/10 | |
|
Vanessa's review: "All together, the ingredients produce a sweet and refreshing blend comparable to no other tea I've had. " Read review » |
8.5/10 |

Lea's review: "The pomegranate flavor here is fruity and pronounced, and I really enjoyed the brew... though the flowery aroma from the leaves was a bit off-putting at first." Read review » |
7/10 | |
 |
Shane's review: "The pomegranate flavor takes a bit of time to develop on the taste buds, but once its does its fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed this tea." Read review » |

7/10 |

Vanessa's review: "Crisp and clean, with a fresh peppermint taste blended with sweet chocolate... slightly acidic in the aftertaste, but otherwise quite good." Read review » |

Shaiha's review: "A delightful green dessert tea with an aroma that is heavenly" Read review » |
6.7/10 |

Katie's review: "I get the impression that the flavour of the glorious dessert may not translate effectively to tea." Read review » |
6.0/10 | |
|
Erika's review: "This tea definitely came through with the blueberry flavor, but didn’t have the extra oomph to put it into the cheesecake category. " Read review » |
7/10 | |
|
Laura's review: "I would best describe this as tasting first of the cheesecake flavor, but then the cheesecake flavor kind of dies off and you are left with a lingering blueberry taste in your mouth." Read review » |

Joe's review: "Everyone deserves to give this drink a test drive. " Read review » |

Laura's review: "This is an excellent orange rooibos blend and the chocolate is just strong enough to make this special." Read review » |
7/10 | |
|
Vanessa's review: "The orange flavor is sweet and natural, and very similar to other orange rooibos teas that I have previously had. I was very disappointed to find that the chocolate flavor was very weak." Read review » |
6/10 |
|
Vanessa's review: "The flavor is sweet overall, consisting of a strong orange flavor that is followed by some unidentafiable-yet-familiar-yet-not-completely-natural flavor, which I now realize must be the cheesecake flavor. It does not taste like cheesecake to me, but I like it nonetheless. " Read review » |
7.5/10 | |
|
Brad's review: "This is a bright, demanding orange. It is much closer to an orange drink than a tea." Read review » |
5/10 | |
|
Laura's review: "Orange Glow really requires no sweetener, but I did enjoy what the addition of both some rock cane sugar and a splash of milk brought to the cup." Read review » |
7.5/10 |
|
Stephen's review: "A unique mixture of black tea, lavender, lemon peel, lemongrass and "Bavarian cream" flavor... a little bitter, but a dollop of sugar helps to round out the flavors." Read review » |
6.5/10 |
|
Stephen's review: "A decent cup of mint-chocolate tea, but not quite the flavor explosion one might expect with a name like Peppermint Pattie." Read review » |
6/10 |
|
Vanessa's review: "I was overwhelmed by an artificial banana flavor that instantly reminded of the overly-sugary, tooth-rotting, banana-flavored taffy candies, such as Laffy Taffy and Now and Laters." Read review » |

James's review: "A wonderful desert tea that is also a nice pick-me-up on a cold, wet afternoon. I'd recommend it." Read review » |
7/10 | |

Troy's review: "A dark but relatively flavorless cup of tea... the caramel flavor was noticeable only in the aroma, and only just barely. I wouldn't recommend this blend." Read review » |

Stephen's review: "Not quite the sweet and decadent experience you'd expect, but still an enjoyable and uniquely-flavored oolong tea." Read review » |
