Throat Cooler from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 5th, 2024
Though labeled on the box as "herbal tea", Throat Cooler shares many of the ingredients of medicinal teas. The full list (Peppermint, Spearmint, Lemongrass, Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Licorice Root, Natural Menthol Flavor with Other Natural Flavors, Slippery Elm) is shorter than most Traditional Medicinal and Yogi teas, o...

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 9th, 2024
True story: I actually grabbed this somewhat absentmindedly off the shelf at Sprouts thinking it was True Blueberry (almost identical color scheme and basic design!), then only noticed the different name and cartoon when placing the box on the checkout belt. "Well, what the heck, I'm not a big fan of lavender as a tas...

Style: Earl Grey Cream – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 16th, 2022
Here's another in Celestial's fairly recent run of new black-tea blends. For a mass-marketed brand commonly available in retail stores, this rendition holds its own, but better quality can be had.
The dry aroma (especially when opening the sack or pouch in which the bags are packaged) may be the best part. This is...
Energy Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????74 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 10th, 2022
Celestial Seasonings—for decades a specialist in herbal teas—seems to be marketing more black teas of late. I got this from a sampler pack alongside English Breakfast (already reviewed), Peppermint Peak (already reviewed...very tasty) and Earl Grey Creme (soon!). This one confuses me a bit for two reasons:
1. N...
White Chocolate Peppermint from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: ?????81 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 6th, 2021
Celestial Seasonings has produced, then retired, at least three flavored white teas, based on RateTea's listings. Is the fourth time the charm?
This apparently new offering, as of October 2021, contains white tea (unspecified type and origin), white chocolate flavor with other natural flavors, cinnamon, peppermin...
Citrus Sunrise Cold Brew from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 3rd, 2021
This tea has been renamed Vitamin C Shine, but it is still the same product.
I'm not big on orange-flavored teas, but this one is pretty good. Its citrus flavor is more mixed and complex. I like it on its own or with honey, and it tastes good on a sore throat or the like.
Cinnamon Express Black Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 11th, 2021
This tea is pretty good for bagged tea -- more balanced than the herbal apple cinnamon tea. This is a solid tea when needing the convenience of a bag. I taste a bit of licorice, which I'm not a big fan of, but it isn't dominant. The cinnamon flavor is pretty nice.

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 9th, 2021
This tea is pleasant so long as it is NOT overbrewed. The tea is very sweet even without sweetener, and the longer it's brewed the sweeter and more intense in flavor it generally gets. I normally prefer strong flavors in my tea, so it's remarkable to me that this is the first time I find a tea to be a bit *too* much. I...
Read Full ReviewMint Magic Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Mint Tea – Region: ?????59 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 23rd, 2020
This is the first tea review I can blame or credit directly to the ongoing coronavirus. We were having Sprouts groceries plucked from within and brought curbside—an activity not undertaken before this pandemic—and the Instacart shopper either mistakenly got "Mint Magic" instead of the peppermint tea I ordere...
Read Full ReviewMadagascar Vanilla Rooibos (Red Tea) from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 14th, 2020
It's hard to rate this product because it doesn't sit still, even though it has just three stated ingredients: rooibos, vanilla flavoring, and vanilla bean. The quality and flavor seemed to vary a lot over time, within a given cup. Overall, it's a decent representative of flavored rooibos, and at times presents itse...

Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????30 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 10th, 2020
My, oh my. This tea got a grape flavor. This for sure ain't got some blueberries in it, I'll tell ya'. It's grape. "True Grape" would better suit this tea. It's grape... Why'd it have to be grape... Anywho. I would recommend this tea only to my enemies. If you mistakenly bought it this week, throw it in the trash can w...

Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????79 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 16th, 2020
Strangely, I found this much more aromatic, flavorful and overall pleasant to drink than the seemingly similar "just" Sleepytime. That's probably because it has more stuff that is flavorful and aromatic on the ingredients list.
The common components between the two blends are chamomile, spearmint and lemongrass, ...
Tangerine Orange Zinger Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 13th, 2020
This is a very satisfying tea. It has less of a 'zing' than the Sangria tea or the Red Zinger, making it feel a bit easier on the stomach. The orange/tangerine notes remind me a bit of Tang or an energy drink. I mean this as a compliment, not an insult. It's a very good flavor. I know that this is a blast from the past...

Mar. 11th, 2020
This is probably my favorite Celestial Seasonings tea to make as an iced tea. We had a bout of hot weather for a few days and I whipped up some iced tea with this Watermelon Lime Zinger and it was so refreshing and delicious. It does a great job of cooling me down and it's a delicious flavor combination. I never feel t...

Mar. 11th, 2020
I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting this to be so good. In my area, Mother Nature seems to be going through her "change" and we've been getting some wild hot and cold flashes. I'll go outside in a long sleeve shirt and border on sweating one day, then go outside in thermal pants, leg warmers, a down vest, two layers, an...

Jan. 21st, 2020
Really disappointing tea. Needs milk and sugar to be palatable, and even then it has pretty weak flavor.

The maple and ginger pair well together for great smell and taste. One of my favorite CS teas

Dec. 30th, 2019
Celestial Seasonings has made a mint off selling assorted fruit flavors added to the same basic "Zinger" foundation (hibiscus, rose hips, hawthorn, blackberry leaves, orange peel). This tea has been around a couple of generations, probably preceding the Zingers, and doesn't bear that name, so maybe they're inspired by...

Oct. 16th, 2019
This member of CS' "Zinger" line has resided in the tea section of our pantry for a long time, occasionally brewed and chugged, and I just realized this morning that I haven't reviewed it yet. Therefore, this is that.
When I think of orange-flavored herbal teas, the first that comes to mind for me is Tazo's "Wild S...
Bengal Spice Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????74 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 10th, 2019
This blend has occupied my curiosity for many months, especially given that:
1. I like chai in general;
2. I've tried a couple other "tealess" chais with mixed results, and
3. The reviews on this have been all over the place, to say the least. For the statistically inclined: boost the sample size by a hundred w...
Peppermint Peak® Black Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 11th, 2019
Are you a big fan of Candy Cane Lane? If so, you'll probably love this offering too. It's basically the same, but with one major and two minor changes to the ingredients list that don't modify the aroma or flavor much:
1. Caffeinated black tea (no type/origin specified) is subbed for CCL's decaf green,
2. A littl...
Sleepytime Extra from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 17th, 2019
The only difference I've detected between this product and regular Sleepytime is the addition of valerian root to the ingredients list, and a caution on the side of the box about not driving or operating machinery after using, as if this is some herbal-tea version of Ambien or Sominex. Of course, it's not. I'm writin...

Apr. 14th, 2019
Estate sales can be an unconventional way to try new teas upon which one normally wouldn't gamble the full cost of purchase. In this case, the tea apparently has been retired, and can't be bought anymore, but was shrink-wrapped in the box (never opened) and still in fresh condition. [I got it as part of a larger grab...

Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 7th, 2019
I’ve decided to try a few blends of matcha with other green tea and started with this brand. Given that I’ve never been overwhelmingly impressed with Celestial Seasonings, it was better than expected!
Though it cannot take the place of an actual matcha craving, the addition of matcha added a bit of sweetness and...
Roastaroma Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Coffee Alternative / Substitute – Region: ?????38 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 25th, 2019
I'm not a fan. It smells nice dry, kind of like a cinnamon roll. Brewed, the grain aroma from the barley takes over. I can see what they're going for and the chicory, carob and spices combine to give the passable impression of a mocha coffee, but there's too much dark bread crust for my taste.
I don't think this rea...
