My Review of Teavana® Large Tea Tin

Originally submitted at Teavana

Keep your favorite tea fresh for up to a year! Our large air-tight tea tin protects your tea from light and seals in the freshness. It will keep eight to ten ounces of tea (depending on the tea) fresh for a whole year. And it can also store our German Rock Cane Sugar or anything else that needs to ...


Perfect!

Pros: Functional, Easy To Use

Best Uses: Home, Everyday, Office

Describe Yourself: Tea Enthusiast

Best thing in the world to keep your tea fresh! I've never used water inside the canister because I've read somewhere that soaking air tight tins in water ruins the overall seal of the container, but it's easy to wipe out with a soft dry dish towel. Dump your new tea in, change the sticker and there you go!

Tea Body: Light

Tea Flavor: Fruity, Citrusy, Vegetal

Pros: Unique Flavor Profile, Smooth Body, Soothing, High Quality

Best Uses: Morning, Anytime

Describe Yourself: Tea Enthusiast

This is simply a fantastic tea, it's light and has that lovely apple taste mixed well with the other fruit. A perfect tea to wake up to as well as an afternoon tea for a quick pick me up.

This also feels nice on the throat when it's sore believe it or not.

Definitely a tea that should be prepared carefully and the instructions followed closely to enjoy the full taste of this.

Super Fruity

By Roberta the Painter from DuBois on 1/21/2010

 

2out of 5

Tea Body: Medium

Tea Flavor: Fruity

Pros: Unique Flavor Profile, Aromatic, Fresh

Cons: Too Strong

Best Uses: Morning, Anytime

Describe Yourself: Tea Enthusiast

I enjoyed this tea but it wasn't what I was expecting when I had it, it was mostly an over powering taste of fruit and no trace of green tea at all.

I enjoy green tea very much and was disappointed to find that the flavour of tea was over powered by fruit.

It's a good tea if you don't like green tea, but what the benefits of it. It also makes a decent iced tea, but it's not my favourite to drink all the time.

Good blending tea

Tea Body: Light

Tea Flavor: Citrusy, Fruity

Pros: Aromatic, Unique Flavor Profile

Cons: Weak

Best Uses: Afternoon

Describe Yourself: Tea Enthusiast

I tried this tea on its own and found it too weak to be what I consider excellent, mixed with some honey throws off the flavour and sugar (both plain and german rock) does the same.

However blending this tea with a citrus or speically floral tea does make a lovely combination. I have this mixed with Pacific Sunrise and it makes a lovely hot and iced tea.

I wouldn't recommend this tea on it's own, but blended with another tea I would say go for it.

My Review of Garden Aria White Tea

Originally submitted at Teavana

Cultivate your love for this tea ensemble composed of delicate white tea and ambrosial fruit bits. You can't help but sing praises for a steaming cup of harmony straight from the garden! Deliciously fruity and very healthy, this tea is loaded with antioxidants.


A decent tea

Tea Body: Light

Tea Flavor: Fruity

Pros: Aromatic, Fresh

Cons: Bitter

Best Uses: Evening, Anytime

Describe Yourself: Tea Enthusiast

I picked up garden aria after I'd found I liked youth berry and had hoped for another fruity tea, sadly I discovered that both teas taste VERY similar, in fact there's very little distinction between the two teas. That to me is a disappointment seeing as I loved Youth Berry and was hopeful for a tea that had another unique flavour.

It works well as a subsitute to Youth Berry served hot, however if you make it an ice tea, it gains a bitter taste that cannot be fixed.

It's a good tea, but only hot. Nothing too special here.

Sumptuous fruits abound in this delicious Oolong cornucopia. Red ripe raspberries and succulent strawberries radiate like jewels among the emerald green Oolong leaves. Be transported to an ideal state of mind, body, and happiness with this gem of a tea!

Describe Yourself: Tea Enthusiast

I don't know why I found so many reviews saying that the tea tasted 'artifical' or 'too sweet'. I found it to be perfect with just a bit of sweetener, the berries in it have a lovely taste and I am thinking of mixing it with one of my white teas to see how it blends.

I had been using a tiny tea ball I got from a tea gift set and when I was in a teavana store they had asked me if I had a tea maker and I was sold when they did a demo of it in the store. Best thing I've bought.
