The aroma reminds me of summer blooming flowers and warm sunlight, I like the effect this tea's aroma has on my brain. The taste of this tea is elegant, sweet and creamy with a vanilla quality that quickly transfers to oranges and roses. The vanilla and creamy tastes remind me more of a muffin or some baked morsel rather than an ice cream taste, specifically some baked goody with an o...http://ratetea.com/review/3315/http://ratetea.com/review/3315/Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:13:24 ESTAn intriguing blend, very different from the other two examples of Rooibos chai that I've tried, the ones from Culinary Teas and from Wegmans. The final of three Capital Teas samples that my parents were given as a gift, which they let me try. Excellent with milk, not so much without. Dry leaf smells intensely of clove, and also has a vanilla-like fragrance, and some earthy tones, both presumably from the rooibos. The spice blend smells quite different from a typical Masala chai. The description ref...http://ratetea.com/review/3313/http://ratetea.com/review/3313/Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:17:10 ESTWow. An exceptional tea. This was definitely the best breakfast tea I've ever tried, I'd go farther and say it was the best of any blended tea. This was one of three teas in a sampler pack that my parents received as a gift, and I'm glad they gave me some to try. Dry leaf, which is a mix of different leaf styles and shapes, has an intense floral fragrance, almost hinting at Earl Grey, but this is a pure, unflavored tea. I love black teas where the dry leaf has such a floral smell, so I knew this was...http://ratetea.com/review/3311/http://ratetea.com/review/3311/Tue, 08 Apr 2014 17:22:12 ESTA disappointing blend that just didn't seem to work. This was one of three samples my parents received as a gift. I had the opportunity to sample them recently. One of my mild pet peeves is when a company labels something "cherry blossom" and then it tastes like cherry fruit, rather than blossoms. I opened the bag and there was an intense, almost cloying smell of cherry fruit, not cherry blossoms. "Blossom" might have a nice ring to it but I think it's a bit of dishonesty in labelling to throw in ...http://ratetea.com/review/3042/http://ratetea.com/review/3042/Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:08:15 ESTThis was something completely new and different, unlike any other tea, mate, or herbal blend that I've tried previously. An old review that I only am posting now; I sampled this at the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival. There's a slight kick from the chili. Keep in mind, I'm someone who LOVES spicy food, stuff like the hottest Mexican salsa, or hot dishes in Szechuan food, so when I say "slight kick", many Americans might perceive this as "burning hot". I actually really appreciate the combinati...http://ratetea.com/review/3041/http://ratetea.com/review/3041/Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:03:01 ESTI'm not a huge fan of orange spice teas, but this is my favorite example of one yet. This was a classic orange spice tea blend, a lot like Market Spice's Cinnamon Orange, or a more refined variant of Bigelow's Constant Comment. If you like either of those teas, I'd recommend this one. I wish I had had the opportunity to sample this side-by-side with Market Spice's rendition...comparing them from memory, I thought this blend was a little milder tasting. Very balanced. There's a good amount of tea...http://ratetea.com/review/3040/http://ratetea.com/review/3040/Thu, 09 Jan 2014 14:58:25 ESTTasted a pre-brewed sample at the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival; I have been rather late at posting my review, but I wrote up the review some time ago. Aroma is intensely of sweet almonds, like marzipan candy, but flavor is sour, and there is considerable astringency. I tasted the almond most of all, and did not notice the orange as much. Although I didn't like this one that much, I think it's more a function of me not liking this type of flavored tea. I look forward to trying more teas fr...http://ratetea.com/review/2916/http://ratetea.com/review/2916/Mon, 25 Nov 2013 10:15:59 ESTI was able to taste Capital Teas at the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival. I had seen them in my tea magazines and have come very close to putting in an order. Since tasting them, I will definitely order off of them-I have many of their teas listed on my Christmas list! This was not a tea I would typically be drawn too, green is not my tea of choice usually. However, I am so glad I tried this. It was amazing to say the least. The smell is very aromatic when brewing, but then all 3 Capital Teas I b...
