Korean Ginseng

Korean Ginseng
8

Bottom Line:
Great tasting, great consistency

Not really tea?, just red ginseng. Very tasty, almost like a soy sauce. Tastes great hot. Not too thick, not too heavy, just right in the middle on both scales. I could drink this often it wasn't so expensive. I can see this going well with Korean BBQ.

Stash, Chai Green Tea

Stash, Chai Green Tea
7

Bottom Line:
This was a good break from my usual drinking habits, but not something for every day.

I'm not usually a fan of green tea, but this is good. The chai really brings out the best in it. This is a light tea which is flavorful (as chai should be). It is unfortunately a little rough on the throat and (very) slightly bitter. Stash tea is, as usual, the best.

Yogi Tea, Peach DeTox

Yogi Tea, Peach Detox
8

Bottom Line:
Sweet + spicy (ginger) = ! very tasty

I'm liking it quite a bit so far. My only beef with it is that its caffeine free and not as good as other stuff I drink. It's also 100% herbal and 0% tea as far as I can tell. At least its all natural and not artificially sweetened? The list of ingredients is quite long. The smell reminds me of a hospital for some strange reason. My throat and head don't feel anything from drinking this, probably because its herbal. Very light and thin, yet flavorful. I might be able to drink this every day, but I'm not entirely sure, since it's very sweet.

Celestial Seasonings, Vanilla Apple White

Celestial Seasonings, Vanilla Apple White
7

Bottom Line:
Not very chuggable. Uniquely light (easy to drink) but thick.

Pleasing enough taste. Simple taste with complicatedly numerous ingredients. Smooth. I was able to finish a full glass. Feels good on the throat. Aromatic before the water is added... after, no noticeable smell. Not very much caffeine (at least it didn't keep me awake). This is something I could drink every day, though I have already found better. Bonus points for being organic, gluten free, and printed on 100% post consumer recycled cardboard. Minus points for not a good kind of teabag.
