Tasters Review:
Oolong Tea is the “Rising Star of the Tea Drinkers Universe” according to MarketPressRelease.com and I totally agree! I’m so happy Oolong Tea is become more and more popular around the world!
“Like black tea, oolong tea contains antioxidants, but it has more of them than black tea because oolong tea isn’t subjected to as much oxidation/fermentation during processing as black tea is. ” (Direct Quote from above linked article).
Hong Shui Oolong from Zi Chun has a great taste that men and women – young and old will enjoy!
The best way I could try and describe the taste of this one is that it has a roasted or toasted nutty flavor with a little bit of charcoal flavor. As it cools for a minute or two…it has a juicer finish. It’s very interesting and pretty tasty!
Another winner from Zi Chun!

Tasters Review:
I haven’t been this excited about a plain green tea in a LONG time! I swear Shanti made this tea especially for me! So I will take this time to say THANK YOU Shanti Tea!!
Darjeeling Green Tea from Shanti Tea is a medium strength green tea but it’s pretty equal in all aspects of grassy, buttery, sweet, juicy, mouth-watering, floral, and it’s VERY smooth. I guess one could say that this Darjeeling Green Tea from Shanti Tea didn’t play any favorites when it comes to one taste over the other and I am fine with that. Everything works out and plays nice with each other. There is a pleasant aftertaste which really makes me smile!
This is a really nice tea!
I REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS TEA!
HEY! Did I mention, I like this tea?

Tasters Review:
This is the darkest infused green I have ever seen! I think it’s because of all the darker fruits in the blend…notably the blueberries! I can clearly see all of the ingredients and they are fresh, plump, and lovely! The Post infused liquid color is truly unique and memorable!
Green Tea Heaven from Talbott Teas smells…well…HEAVENLY! The naturally sweet, juicy, and fruity taste PROVES to me that a fruit flavored tea can be done DAMN well without having to throw in Hibiscus to make it juicy and fruity! This is a Hibiscus-Free Zone and it’s awesome!
This is AWESOME hot and just as AWESOME if not a tad more so iced. I currently have this rated at a 98 in my personal tea-log file but am highly considering changing it to a 100! I LOVE THIS flavored green!

There is just SOMETHING about the Rooibos and Peach duo that peak my interest! Drink T really does this one right! The first time I drank this I tried it hot! It’s fruity and juicy and sweet…it is very treat like. It’s pure Rooibos and Peach – straight to the point – and very flavorful!
I also tried this one cold/iced and it is just as terrific iced. I will be drinking this often…I can already SEE it! This is a pure delight!

Tasters Review:
When I was young…I had a Great Aunt Francis. I remember my mother, sister, and I visiting her often. Every time we stopped by Aunt Francis would ask me if I wanted a FRESH PLUM. I almost always said YES. While we visited with her there I sat with my plum and black tea enjoying every minute of it!
This Plum flavored black tea sure does bring me back to the Aunt Francis visits! This tea is awesomely juicy…fragrant, sweet, fruity but not tart – and VERY YUMMY!!!! It’s a nicely flavored black tea. I have yet to try it iced but I know it will be good!
