Mar. 18th, 2018

I tried this tea at an event; I wasn't expecting to like it, but I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would.

This tea reminds me of a certain lifesaver flavor that I can't pinpoint...not one of the normal five flavors, and not a type I've had in years. It takes me back to my childhood. Perhaps a pina col...

May. 30th, 2014

I tend to like lemon ginger teas, and I was excited to try this one, especially when I saw that it contains ginger as the main ingredient, and then lemongrass and lemon verbena, two herbs that I am a big fan of.

Brews up a delightfully-smelling cup, more lemony than gingery but with a strong ginger aroma. But upon...

Devonshire English Breakfast Black Tea from Celestial Seasonings

Dec. 20th, 2013

I wasn't expecting much...but has some aroma. Tones of malt and wood. Yes, it's not loose tea, and I even think this is pretty far behind most of Celestial Seasonings' herbal blends.

Considerably smoother than Lipton, but still full-bodied. I'd appreciate a little more up-front bite--perhaps a longer steeping wou...

Morning Thunder from Celestial Seasonings

40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 14th, 2012

I've known of this blend for years, but never tried it until today.

It was a bit of a disappointment. The black tea does seem to convey more strength of flavor and body, and the mate a certain sweetness. But I got the impression that the Yerba mate used in this blend was higher quality than the black tea.

The a...

Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride from Celestial Seasonings

4 / 100 Aroma: 1/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 12th, 2011

I really did not like this one.

Strong, artificial vanilla aroma dominates. In a sense, it really does smell like a sugar cookie, a least, before you sip it. But in order to be cookie-like, it would really need a richer body and more depth. This tea is thin and does not have the sort of richness that I expect for...

Oct. 22nd, 2010

This is my favorite fruity tea from Celestial Seasonings; most of them are too sour for me. It has an intoxicating peach aroma, which might strike one as a bit artificial except that it is backed up with the depth of other herbs, giving this blend a full body and a balanced character.

One thing I like about this bl...

This tea is much too sour for me; although I enjoy the aroma, I find it gets unpleasantly sour by the end of the cup. This tea becomes much more drinkable, in my opinion, if you use it as a 1-to-2 ingredient with other less sour teas to make a pitcher of iced tea.

Chamomile Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings

Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: Blend

57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 27th, 2009

Another typical chamomile tea; nothing to get excited about. I think this tea is a little more floral but less fruity than some. There's a little bit of the unpleasant muted sourness that plagues some chamomile teas. Enjoyable, but I've had better. Among celestial seanonings teas I much prefer the blends.

Sep. 27th, 2009

I absolutely loved this herbal tea. The aroma combined light and sweet marzipan-like tones with more robust earthy and nutty qualities. The cup was naturally sweet and very smooth. The ingredients were balanced just how I like; I can't suggest anything I would change about this blend.

I was very disappointed when...

Sep. 27th, 2009

This tea is on the margins of Celestial Seasoning teas that I enjoy...it has too much cinnamon for my taste; I think the clove blends much better with the orange than the cinnamon does. It's also a tad too sour for my tastes...although again it's just a bit out of my comfort zone. This is one of those teas that I wil...

Sep. 27th, 2009

This is one of my favorite Celestial Seasonings teas; the spearmint and chamomile go so well together, and dominate the aroma, although the other ingredients have a presence too. I find this tea to be among the most soothing of the commercial teas that are marketed as "bedtime" herbal blends.

Nowadays though, I str...

Sep. 27th, 2009

I drink this tea a lot when I get sick because it makes me feel better. The flavor is a bit of an acquired taste but I have grown quite fond of it. The ginseng is dominant in the aroma and imparts a bitterness and an earthy quality which blends well with the ginger. The peppermint and lemon lightens this one somewha...
