Going off the price listed on Amazon ($15/24-ct box as of this writing), this tea is not worth the trouble. After tasting it, I'm not sure I'll even try it for "free" again at a conference or hotel.
This is supposed to be a ginger- and peach-flavored green tea, which sounds like a good combination, and somewhat smells like one in the dry-bag scent. Mostly the aroma is ginger-dominant, with only faint levels of peach at best, and what there was of peach seemed chemical or artificial. The chopped ginger is readily visible in the bag, so at least that's real. Peach was barely detectable, if at all, in the taste, and the base tea seemed weak or muted too.
I can't believe the next flavor is real. Where did the rusty, metallic taste come from? I didn't see any steel wool in the teabag, but this stuff tasted like some got cut off your favorite kitchen scouring pad and sprinkled in there. That was some major buzz kill. The aftertaste didn't show that, but when the main part of the experience tastes like ginger tea filtered slowly through a non-soaped S.O.S. pad, it's time to try a different tea.
