mint matcha
There's nothing really wrong with this matcha, but having had a higher grade since, I can't really go back to this. As another review commented, the mint flavor is rather overpowering. But here's a tip: try making mint matcha hot chocolate! Make your matcha, make your hot cocoa, and then mix to taste! This takes the tea from a 3 star tea to a solid 4.

GRAND CRU MATCHA
This was my second matcha, and I am so glad I went for it. I have two bags now, and I've just gotten an electric matcha whisk (arthritis sucks, y'all) so I mean, this tea really sparked my enthusiasm for a new level of tea experience!! If you're looking for a solid, high quality matcha, look no further. It is so creamy, so umami.

JASMINE BLACK PEARLS
Fully a 5-star tea, truly. I love stronger tea, and I love jasmine. Most jasmine teas are just a little too soft around the edges for me, but this one is bold without bitterness, and hits every high note flawlessly. I'd recommend this tea, but then there'd be less for me ;) It re-steeps wonderfully, too.

BUTTERFLY JASMINE
I absolutely enjoyed this selection from David's Tea. The jasmine scent is beautiful. The shape is interesting! It's fun to watch it unfurl. All in all, a lovely tea experience! I recommend this tea if you like delicate-flavored teas!

Tension Tamer
Tension tamer is an old favorite, and though I have moved on to loose leaf teas and enjoy new experiences more than older favorites, tension tamer is the best of the celestial seasonings teas. I can call up the exact flavor of it now. I think I will pick up a box next time I go to the store, in fact.

lemon pound cake
Absolutely crushed that this was discontinued. Really hoping it comes back someday. It tastes just like lemon pound cake, and I am hoarding my last two bags of it for special days.
-
GENMAICHA
Initially, I was not sold. But I came back for a second cup, because I had bought a 2oz bag to try on a friend's recommendation and love for genmaicha. Well, darn it, now I need like 10 more bags of this. It grew on me, I guess I just really wasn't in the mood for it when I tried it or perhaps I steeped it too long. But now? I cannot get enough.
-
APPLE CUSTARD
This is really rich and creamy, with a warm spiced apple flavor. You won't regret this tea if you love apple desserts.
-
cookie dough
Good enough that I stocked up when I learned it was being discontinued. I feel like the tea itself could use a little more body, but it really tastes like cookie dough which is pretty remarkable for a tea.
-
VANILLA ORCHID
Gentle, floral, and vanilla-y, this one is a favorite of mine. It is well blended, quality tea. I'm currently out and I miss this one. Will buy more for sure!
-
MOVIE NIGHT
I am so sad they are discontinuing this tea, but I've stocked up as much as I reasonably can on it! It's a tea I never expected to love, but movie night is delicious and tastes like buttery, sweet popcorn -- I keep coming back for another cup.
-
raspberry cream pie
It's creamy, it tastes like raspberries, and yes it does taste like a rich dessert! I am a fiend for dessert teas, and this one is on my to-buy-more list for sure.
-
cardamom macchiato
For the rare times when I want something between tea and coffee, I like cardamom macchiato. It's not perfect, but I like it enough to finish the bag.
-
FOREVER NUTS
This tea is strangely addictive. I had a sample of it in a recent order, and I steeped it at least twice. It doesn't have many ingredients, yet the allure is powerful and delicious. I want more!
-
Rainbow Lemonade
I'm a dessert tea nut, and rainbow lemonade legitimately (to me!) tastes like rainbow sherbet. I can't wait to get more of this blend. Five stars.
-
cardamom french toast
One of my favorite teas, certainly deserving of five stars. I love cardamom and french toast. But putting them together in a tea? Oh, I was so sold on the idea and the fragrance alone, but the flavor is delicious. Just don't over-steep this one.
-
strawberry colada
A very good tea! I really enjoyed this one. Strawberry colada is well-balanced, strongly fruity, and good hot. I would buy more.
-
honey prosecco
Did not care much for honey prosecco. Thought the flavor was ill-balanced and overwhelmingly strong (despite not using much tea to make my cup) and I didn't like it enough to give it a second chance.
-
just peachy
I didn't care as much for just peachy. I got a sample of it in a tea subscription box, and found it a little bland, there just wasn't much flavor there. Perhaps it's better iced, I don't care for iced tea as much, however, and as a hot tea it is somewhat lacking.
