I’d venture to say that the majority of the aroma is from the base Rooibos and less on the added herbal pieces. Flavor: Extremely mild. I’m not sure if an extended steep would help here but there isn’t a ton going on. A little ginger and spice. Value: This came from Whole Foods and was about 5/oz. it’s not a steal but it’s fair.http://ratetea.com/review/6502/http://ratetea.com/review/6502/Fri, 04 Dec 2020 22:14:09 ESTAroma really has a creamy coconut note. Flavor isn’t overly complex but hits the coconut note well. Body is fairly thick.http://ratetea.com/review/5936/http://ratetea.com/review/5936/Wed, 09 Jan 2019 13:47:22 ESTUncommonly in my admittedly limited tea-drinking experience, this was the second different bagged chamomile blend (as opposed to pure chamomile) from the same company—the first being "Relaxing Chamomile". This tea is decidedly chamomile-dominant in dry-bag, in-cup and wet-bag aromas, and despite not having the word in its name, more chamomile-presenting in the flavor than "Relaxing Chamomile". This tea reminded me a lot of Revolution's "Golden Chamomile" sachets, but with a little more complexity....http://ratetea.com/review/5914/http://ratetea.com/review/5914/Tue, 25 Dec 2018 13:58:07 ESTUntil "Relaxing Chamomile", I hadn't chugged a chamomile tea with this many ingredients: at least seven. I say, "at least", because after chamomile, hawthorne berry, eleuthero, rose petals, natural blood orange flavor, and natural vanilla flavor, the final ingredient was, "other natural flavors", whatever that means. This was an experience. The dry-bag aroma was a mildly fruit-punchy, somewhat honey-like, somewhat straw-like chamomile, very intriguing. Brewing it up, the liquid began as an oddly v...http://ratetea.com/review/5857/http://ratetea.com/review/5857/Mon, 26 Nov 2018 21:39:38 ESTHere's the next entry in the dossier of Allegro teas obtained at one of our Colorado vacation stops. This is one of the few that I would consider ordering on its own merit...that is, if I weren't already dropping bags of inexpensive peppermint tea in with good green tea on occasion, to accomplish much the same result. Neither the aromas nor taste blew me away, but they were pleasant, well-balanced, clean, fresh and refreshing. The cup brewed up a clear tan/green color that browned with time, but rema...http://ratetea.com/review/5850/http://ratetea.com/review/5850/Fri, 23 Nov 2018 20:03:20 ESTIt seems like the few Tulsi teas I've tried so far have been paired in some way with ginger, regardless of other ingredients. This was no exception. The ingredients list explicitly states three kinds of Tulsi: Krishna, Rama, and Vana, two of which coincidentally were first names of sisters I knew in middle school whose parents immigrated from India. Dry-bag aroma was ginger-dominant, but also, a little vegetal or grassy, somewhat light and refreshing, not very strong but still well-defined. The wet b...http://ratetea.com/review/5839/http://ratetea.com/review/5839/Fri, 09 Nov 2018 01:55:11 ESTA vacation motel/lodge at which I was staying in southern Colorado had a large assortment of Allegro teas, all of which I have tried or will. [I'm basing "value" off their stated online prices, compared to what one gets.] Here's the next in line. By itself, this was a reasonably good tea, albeit different than expected. An unusual and perplexing chai in my experience: the dry-bag and in-cup aromas were noticeably spicier than the flavor of the beverage, which was more tea-dominant, mellow, and swe...http://ratetea.com/review/5831/http://ratetea.com/review/5831/Sun, 04 Nov 2018 17:15:58 ESTRealizing white tea isn't supposed to be particularly intense, from what I've read here regarding its "delicate" flavor, and that any attempt to flavor it must be careful so as to avoid overwhelming the base tea, I went in to the consumption undertaking not expecting to be blasted through the roof by an explosion of potency. My lack of expectation was met. The dry-bag and in-cup scents were faintly fruity, nice, sweet, but seemed rather distant. I could pick up the scent of the base tea, so give Alle...http://ratetea.com/review/5824/http://ratetea.com/review/5824/Fri, 02 Nov 2018 10:44:18 ESTWhen you have lemons, make lemonade? That seems to have happened here. While not overpowering, the distinct aroma of lemon wafted rather aggressively out of the pouch when I tore it open, and that scent stayed in the dry bag strongly until pouring the hot water through it. The in-cup smell was more balanced, but the lemon was at least as strong as the bergamot. Only in taste and aftertaste did bergamot become more present than lemon, albeit barely in direct flavor. The aftertaste was noticeably bitter...http://ratetea.com/review/5815/http://ratetea.com/review/5815/Sun, 28 Oct 2018 04:10:44 ESTThis is a very well-balanced rendition of berry-flavored green tea, an enjoyable sip or chug. As I've found with many bagged green teas, the dry-bag aroma was weak, but in-cup, the smell became more full and representative of the taste, while the deeply breathed wet-bag aroma was richest of all sensations (including taste). The combined flavor of both the base tea and the added flavorings (stated as being all-natural) is very pleasant, smooth and light, but not so light that it tastes diluted. The ...http://ratetea.com/review/5782/http://ratetea.com/review/5782/Mon, 15 Oct 2018 20:06:30 ESTI've never been a big fan of the base flavor of yerba mate, which strikes me as metallic and overly bitter, despite trying to get used to it during my years living in South Florida, where everything from sodas to candy, tea, baked goods, and even alcoholic beverages are made with it. That caveat duly affixed herein, I liked this tea and wouldn't mind trying more. The aroma wasn't very strong in the dry bag, nor in-cup, but still was mild, pleasant, and tropical-fruity, as should be expected from the ...http://ratetea.com/review/5778/http://ratetea.com/review/5778/Sun, 14 Oct 2018 00:51:28 ESTThe dry-bag* and in-cup scents were robust and screamed "chai", which is great since I enjoy such tea. Cinnamon and cardamom stood obvious, cloves and black pepper being apparent with some concentration, the other ingredients a good deal less so. Even though ginger is the second ingredient (behind rooibos), I only could taste it with great effort...or was that an illusion of the power of suggestion? Despite the presence of classic chai ingredients: 1) I still could taste the rooibos, specifically th...http://ratetea.com/review/1188/http://ratetea.com/review/1188/Tue, 24 May 2011 10:30:49 ESTThis is not a typical Earl Grey; it also contains lemon flavoring as well as the usual bergamot, but the difference is subtle. The overall character of this tea is relatively strong, but not particularly complex. There is a fairly strong bergamot presence, with some noticeable lemon too, but the base black tea does not come out much in the aroma--it seems mainly to impart body and strength. It was enjoyable but it did not greatly impress me. I prefer Earl Grey teas which are defined by a more aromati...http://ratetea.com/review/531/http://ratetea.com/review/531/Thu, 15 Apr 2010 11:58:31 ESTThis tea has the characteristic qualities of lemon myrtle dominating the aroma...even though tea is the main ingredient, the tea presence is notably weaker. The cup is light in color and slightly opaque. There's a fair amount of astringency. Interesting, and drinkable, but I would prefer a bolder presence of white tea. Perhaps a stronger/darker white tea would hold its own against the lemon myrtle.
