Papaya Mango tea is a tropical red tea. It is a caffeine-free rooibos tea blended with a flora of island papaya, mango, peach, apple pieces, rose hips, licorice root, strawberry flavor, vanilla powder, rose and marigold flowers.

I really love papaya and mango’s so I was very excited to try this tea. Upon looking at the ingredients I didn’t see anything that I did not like or enjoy. For some reason, I am not sure why, but I was somewhat disappointed. I have found that I personally do not enjoy some teas that are very fruity in nature. So I am wondering if that is why I was not overly impressed or enjoyed this tea. It is a personal preference and by no means do I want to imply people shouldn’t try this tea. I would love to hear from anyone that has tried this tea to see what your thoughts were when you tried it.

 

Refresh by TAZO at Starbucks

This herbal tea is a blend of Pacific Northwest-grown mint leaves with a hint of licorice-sweet tarragon. The blend of peppermint, spearmint leaves and tarragon leaves is very minty yet warming.

I love things that are mint flavored, especially spearmint candy and gum, so I was very excited to try this tea. I was not disappointed with this tea. The fragrance is as wonderful as the tea itself. I tried the tea hot and cold, and I really enjoyed it either way.

If you enjoy things that are minty I would highly recommend this tea. I am looking forward to another cup of this tea!

 

Calm by TAZO at Starbucks

This tea has a soothing blend of chamomile, lemongrass, rose petals, spearmint and licorice root. I enjoyed the floral aroma as well as the hint of sweetness.

I really enjoyed this tea and it was not over powering. There was not that stronger taste that I noticed in some teas I have tried.

I would recommend trying this tea.

 

 

Passion by TAZO at Starbucks

This tea consists of a blend of hibiscus flowers, natural flavors, cinnamon, papaya (papaya sugar), apple pieces, lemongrass, rose hips, blackberry leaves, mango pieces (mango sugar) and rose petals.

This tea is very fruity smelling and a more darker brewed tea. I am surprised how much I really enjoyed this tea. Sometimes I have to be in the right mood for a fruity tea. I do love the combination of mango’s and papayas so that may be why I enjoyed this tea so much.

I recommend this tea if you love the more fruity type of teas.

 

Vanilla Rooibos by TAZO at Starbucks

This tea is a blend of rooibos, licorice root, blackberry leaves, cinnamon, apple pieces, peach pieces, vanilla extract and chamomile leaves.

This tea has a nice vanilla fragrance. I enjoyed this tea but one of the ingredients made this tea stronger tasting than I am use too. I love some other rooibos teas I have tried so I may compare ingredients to see what the differences are between the two teas.

 

 

Awake by TAZO at Starbucks

This is a black tea is blended with malty teas from India, Sri Lanka and Kenya. Dark carmel and black cherry is blended with the black teas to give it a very different and unique flavor.

Due to the dark cherry being added to this tea some people may enjoy this tea more with their favorite scone or muffin at breakfast.

I enjoy hot and cold tea throughout the day so I like to try different teas. I enjoyed this tea, although I found this tea to have a stronger flavor than I am use too.

My daughter gave me a gift pack of 6 different TAZO Teas from Starbucks. I am looking forward to trying the other teas as well.

 

This tea is made with a combination of rich, warm dark sugar aroma of vanilla with mellow and rooibos herb from South Africa. The sweet vanilla fragrance is like a cup full of warm sugar cookies right out of the oven without all the calories!

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this tea. It is one of my most favorite teas. I really enjoy this tea in the evening after dinner. The tea has a very nice vanilla fragance. I plan on buying more of this tea.

Sense of Peace Tea

 

This white tea has a wonderful blend of Indian white tea, Egyptian Mint and rose petals. The rose petals add a unique flavor yet it is not over powering. I love the mint flavor. The aroma from a freshly brewed cup of this tea is very minty yet not over powering. It is very calming and soothing. This white tea is the first one I have tried and I really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to trying other white teas.

I think it would be nice to have a cup of this tea around for the holidays because of the wonderful fragrance of mint.

 

I purchased the 16 oz IngenuiTEA tea pot with a 4 tea sampler set containing Blood Orange tea, Chamomile tea, Peppermint tea and Rooibos Vanilla tea.

I tried the Blood Orange tea first. I love the orange scent. This tea is definitely fruity and has a deep vibrant color with a sweet, tangy flavor. It is caffeine-free and has an interesting blend of blood orange peels, hibiscus flowers and rose hips. I enjoy fruity teas, but I find I have to be in the mood to brew a cup of a fruit flavored tea.

I love the tea pot. It is very easy to use. I filled it with water, placed it in the microwave for a few minutes and then placed 2 heaping teaspoons of the blood orange tea in to brew. Once the tea had brewed for a few minutes I sat the teapot on the top of a mug and it filled my mug for me. How easy is that! I didn’t even create a mess because I didn’t pour the tea at the correct angle. The teapot is easy to clean too. The only slight disadvantage is the bottom of the tea pot fits over the smaller mug openings. Mugs with larger openings will not work with the dispensing mechanisms of the IngenuiTEA tea pot.

When you have a chance please visit Adagio Teas. They have a large selection of loose teas, tea pots and mugs.

 

Fireside ChaiThis tea is naturally caffeine-free Rooibos from the Cedarberg Mountains of South Africa which recent studies found to be high in antioxidants is blended with the stimulating spice of ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and clove. The zest of Valencia orange adds a tart yet sweet note of fruit to this savory health inducing cup.

Ingredients: All organic, fair trade certified South African Rooibos, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom pods, whole cloves, Valencia orange peels, nutmeg, & black pepper.

This tea is one of my all time favorites. I love the blend of all the spices used in this tea. The fragrance is very warm and inviting as well as the tea it self. A brewed cup of this tea is like sitting next to a warm fire in the fireplace on a cold and chilly night. I enjoy this tea whether it is hot or cold. I have never noticed the taste of black pepper which always surprises me when it used in tea. I do not mind the orange peel used, it adds a nice hint of orange yet not over powering. I would highly recommend this tea to your stash of teas.
