Just wanted to say that my friend bought 3 of your Scott Pilgrim teas, and they were fabulous! (Kim and Scott are my favorites). Definitely looking to buy some of your other Scott Pilgrim blends in the future. :) Also, the way your tea blends look is incredibly pretty! Lots of nice contrast of colors and textures!

Strong but not overpowering, this is great to blend with other flavors. Coconut flavor is great!

I wasn't sure how the sweetness would match up with pu erh, but this is really fantastic.

I bought the 5oz bag of this tea in the hopes of finding a very similar, yet cheaper solution for Yunnan Gold. I was wrong, but in a good way. This tea tastes somewhere between Black Dragon Pearls and Yunnan Gold, which are two of my top favorites. If you're trying to do what I did, splurge on both, because they're both delicious and great additions to your black tea collection.

Perfect for breakfast. Really rich and vibrant tea.

Sweet and fresh, the blueberry flavor goes very well with the ceylon. Really great for blending.

Very strong vanilla over the earl grey. Still not quite used to it, but it isn't bad.

These are perfect for tea! They add no flavor and are very easy to use, thanks to the long flap above the opening. I always hate running out.

Tastes heavily floral with the strong rose taste, a very interesting black tea. I happen to like flower-flavored teas so I really liked it, but if you think flowers taste like perfume this is not the one for you.

This tea tastes amazing, like winter cookies only in a hot beverage form - which is even better for the cold.

My boyfriend said this tastes like syrup-soaked pancakes. I have to agree that it is just as yummy.

So reminiscent of autumn nights, it's a very warm and soothing cup of tea!

Ever since I got a sample of Aquarius in my package about 3 years ago I've been hooked. This smells and tastes absolutely incredible, hazelnut and vanilla and warm.

Just the thing for early mornings, or cold mornings, or any morning really.

I opened the bag and was overwhelmed by the lemon smell, but thankfully it is subdued in the cup to a lovely hint.

Very chocolatey! It wasn't too artificially sweet either, thanks to the real chips in it. Will probably order more.

The last batch I got was a bit more apple than caramel, but it was still good.

These are all delicious - I need to have them year-round!
Jun 12th '11
I was very surprised that I liked this tea - I hated moonlight! - but in this earl grey the vanilla is toned down and it is much nicer. The lavender didn't make it taste like perfume at all!

Maybe I'm just not a big fan of fruit-flavored ceylon teas, but I really didn't like this one. The dry leaf smelled incredible, but the brewed tea smelled strange and the passionfruit didn't seem too great of a combination with ceylon.
Nov 9th '10
This is a good flavored green, but it tasted a little too similar to the pomegranate green I already had.
Oct 17th '10
This had a really nice, sweet flavor. I never knew I was a fan of apple cinnamon tea. I got more of an apple flavor than I do with the Spiced Apple Chai, and it didn't taste like all those bad herbal bags.

This chamomile is great! I love the subtle sweetness of the flowers, and in having the complete bud.
Jul 28th '10
An absolutely excellent oolong. This has definitely opened my eyes to the wonders of green oolongs! It's sweet and floral, and it really hits the spot.
Jul 20th '10
This black tea is delicious! I prefer it slightly over yunnan jig, and it compares well as a cheaper alternative to the premium yunnan golden curls. I'll be buying a larger amount soon before I run out!
Jul 20th '10
I've maybe tried one bagged earl grey, but this completely blew that and my expectations out of the water. The bergamot is nice and strong and goes very well with the black tea.
Jul 20th '10
I'm a big fan of Adagio's white peach tea, so I thought I'd try something stronger, and it definitely is strong. It's too artificially peach for my liking and overpowering.
Jul 20th '10
I would definitely say this is my preferred unflavored white tea. It's subtle, but there is still a sweetness to it that I really like.
May 25th '10
I'm a big fan of hazelnut, and I was looking for a caffeine-free alternative to the Aquarius blend when I ordered this. The hazelnut blends so nicely with the rooibos taste, definitely going to order some more when I run out.
May 25th '10
I got this on a whim, and I definitely had to re-order! It has such a great flavor, floral while still being a little stronger than most greens and whites.
May 25th '10
I admit, I wasn't sure about this tea, but I'm so glad I tried it. It's pretty grassy but I can definitely tell the nutty tones were there as well. An excellent green!
May 25th '10
The peach flavor was good, if a little too overpowering. I prefer white peach over this.
May 25th '10
An excellent oolong! It has a rich, roasted flavor, just what I had hoped for in this kind of dark oolong.
May 19th '10
What an amazing tea! This is a very refreshing tea just before bed, and is sweet enough to be had straight. Definitely ordering a bigger size next time!
May 18th '10
I'm not a big fan of fruit teas, but the tart and sweet blackberry pairs so well with the black tea has definitely changed my mind.
