Taster’s Review:
Wow! This tea is WONDERFUL!
The white tea base has a delicate flavor: soft and sweet. Not quite what I’d call “grassy” but more like a warm hay kind of flavor that complements the flavor of clove very well.
But what really knocks my socks off about this blend is the flavor combination of clove and mint. Mint tends to be a rather selfish herb and often overpowers the other flavors in a blend, but, the clove keeps it in check, creating a contrasts in flavors that is both cool and crisp from the mint and warm and spiced from the clove.
The apple starts out quite subtle, but as I continue to sip, I notice the apple more and more. By the end of the cup the flavors are a little like apple cider with a hint of mint. The overall flavor is something that is very familiar, but, at the same time, unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before. Very warm and cozy and absolutely memorable.
I like this one very much!

Taster’s Review:
This is nice!
I think what catches my attention about this tea most is its gentle approach. The peppermint – which can often be a rather aggressive flavor in tea – is crisp and cool but without ever becoming too strong. It’s minty, but not too minty.
The lemon flavor – another flavor that can be overwhelming in other blends that I’ve tried – here is quite smooth and even a little sweet. Not incredibly tart, but just enough to offer contrast.
The green tea is not outdone by these flavors, instead, the three notes work together quite harmoniously to create a flavor that is delicious and energizing in a way that is soothing and relaxing. It is delicious and restorative served hot, and refreshingly tasty served over ice.
This is just the kind of tea I would expect from a company called Karma Blends: it is so delicious and well balanced!

Tasters Review:
The White Flavored Tea is unique in EVERY WAY and I LOVE THAT!
When I saw this had chunks of mint candies in it I HAD to try it!
When I saw the textures of all the ingredients I was very curious!
THEN…when I infused this tea – I was shocked and amazed! The color of the infused liquid is something I have never seen before! It was like a murky pink/peach/gray type color.
The aroma was a gentle mint and even gentler apple. The taste had a nice white tea with a juicy but not tart apple and lovely mint notes.
This is so different yet so fabulous! I really, REALLY like this! A truly unique, fun, and tasty flavored white! Two thumbs up for Karma Blends!

Taster’s Review:
When I first received this tea, I was a little worried that it would end up tasting very medicinal. But it is actually quite tasty!
Yes, it does taste herb-y with a gently spiced flavor, it doesn’t come across as really medicinal to me. It has a pleasant flavor. The chamomile is a delicate, and the star anise (and to a lesser extent, the fennel) offers it an agreeable licorice-y kind of taste that lingers in the aftertaste. I’m enjoying this.
This is an herbal tea that keeps its promise! I am not going to say that it’s my favorite tisane, because it isn’t. But, what I will say is that I would much rather drink this tisane than take some over-the-counter remedy to relieve my discomfort after eating a meal that maybe I shouldn’t have indulged in (we all do that, don’t we?) It does what it is supposed to do, and that makes it alright in my book!

Ginger is used to dispel pathogens via its ability to induce sweating.• Licorice is the best known natural expectorant and anti-inflammatory herb. Licorice helps to soothe the mucus membranes.

Not recommended for people suffering from high blood pressure.

Tasters Review:
I’ve held off on trying and reviewing this herbal tea from Karma Blends because I haven’t been sick…but I can’t hold off any more! I NEEDED to try it!
I thought it would be good to have right now because of the astringent tasting tea I just consumed…I thought the mint and eucalyptus would freshen my breath!
I will say this is very minty and refreshing aroma-wise!
Of course the primary taste is mint/eucalyptus but I am getting a good deal of licorice which I normally find distracting in most cases but not this one! It works well as the 3rd noticeable flavor here!
Then the ginger pops in to say “hello” and again with ginger I am ‘hot and cold’. I want to say I dislike it in teas more than like it BUT, again, it really works well in this herbal blend!
I can taste the Stevia. It’s adds a nice natural-sugary undertone to this that I think helps tone down the ginger.
As it cools at room temperature the lemongrass is a little bit noticeable but it’s one of those ingredients I probably wouldn’t have noticed in a blind taste-test. Same thing with the Mango. I can’t really taste the Mango at all. I think it would be interesting if I could taste more of that. Maybe more of that and a little less licorice would be the ONLY thing I would change about this one. BUT…I am NOT complaining because I am really enjoying this.
If you are afraid of medicinal-type herbal teas…and enjoy mint…give this one a whirl! This one really surprised me! It’s quite good.
I’m having the bagged version of this right now and it is very flavorful for a bagged tea! The box suggested to try with honey and lemon to enhance the flavor. I didn’t do this but I may try that in the future!
I have to say…this is probably on of my FAVORITE Medicinal-Type Herbal Tea/Tisanes I have had to date!
