Taylors of HarrogateWhite Hibiscus & Peach Green Tea, 20 Teabags

Taylors of Harrogate is my favorite brand of affordable/grocery-store-carried tea; this is mostly in comparison to it's slightly more affordable competitors like Bigelow and Twinnings. I think their classic flavors such as English Breakfast, Assam, and Earl Grey are much better than the same flavors from other brands, and they are worth the extra cost due to the less artificial flavor. If you don't have the money to buy fancy loose or sachet tea sets, these sets can give you a similar fun experience.I've purchased the black tea and green tea + infusion sets several times, and I love them both. The varieties of classic/black tea are, again, just less artificial tasting versions of cheap tea, and I personally think they are better tasting than Bigelow, Twinings, and Tazo Teas.Initially, I did not love many of the green teas & infusions when prepared hot, and I was a little disappointed with the strength of flavors; not to mention, I found the 4 varieties of green tea were quite prone to tasting bitter if left to steep too long. On the other hand, you can leave the infusions steeping for hours and they will never start tasting bitter.Anyway, I started preparing them cold, which may even been the recommended way to prepare them for all I know, but it was a game changer. My boyfriend often buys lots of sugary beverages like bottled iced tea and soda, and so do my friends. I watched a video by a makeup/lifestyle youtuber where she described using reusable glass bottles of filtered water to keep in the fridge and offer to guests instead of traditional bottled water because it was more eco-friendly and looked nicer. I bought similar glass bottles on Amazon and started preparing one bottle of each flavor from the variety pack to keep in the fridge and offer to guests at the start of each week. I used a little piece of rolled up tape on the lids and attached the label at the end of each tea bag which shows the flavor, so guests can pick whichever one they want - which is fun. With a few tablespoons of honey or your sweetener of choice, they are awesome. I broke down my takes on each of the flavors below, but, in general, they taste like more refined and interesting versions of store bought tea (bottled); in particular, if you've ever had the iced teas at Panera Bread, they remind me of those a lot.FLAVOR BREAKDOWN:Stawberry + Vanilla Green Tea: Not gonna lie, this disappointed me a bit at first, and the flavor is weak compared to the others, but it has won me over when prepared a bit differently from the rest. If you're familiar with the "Pink-idy Drink-idy" from Starbucks - it's amazing when prepared like that - prepared strongly (doubling up on tea bags), with sweetener, and a significant amount of either cream, milk, or nondairy milk. It's the only flavor in the set which you can add dairy to without it curdling. All the better if you have some fresh or frozen strawberries to toss in the drink to add a real strawberry flavor and nicer look. I'm not sure if I'd call this tea exceptional, as it's hard to even really pick up the strawberry or vanilla strongly, but it's like a strawberries and cream dream when prepared like this - and its good hot or cold.Sour Cherry Infusion: Another one that won me over despite it originally being my least favorite. It's not particularly "sour," and it oddly smells like licorice very strongly - others have said this as well. As someone that hates licorice, it really turned me off, but as much as it smells like licorice, it really doesn't taste like it at all. Prepared cold with sweetener, it tastes like a grown up fruit punch and it's awesome. If you have kids that like fruit punch, but you'd rather prepare them something that isn't packed with artificial flavors and sweeteners, this one will be a winner for you if they don't care about the smell of licorice.Rose Lemonade Infusion: It's got that acidity and lemon you'd expect. Rose can easily be incredibly overpowering, but the acidity sets it off nicely, but the rose still comes through strongly. It tastes delicious and refined when prepared cold, but, no, it doesn't really read like "lemonade" to me. Adding a bit of fresh lemon makes it even better. One of the best in the set if you like Rose.Sweet Rhubarb Infusion: This one is less acidic than the rest, and thus comes off sweeter and smoother than the others when prepared cold with sweetener. It's one of the good ones, but I don't know if it stands out enough to warrant purchase of a box of just this variety.Mandarin + Ginger Infusion: If you're looking for the one that everyone will like, I think it's this one. I think it has the most refined flavor, and it's simply delicious. The ginger doesn't come through in a pungent authentic-ginger way, which I actually don't mind. It strikes a great balance between complexity, acidity, and smoothness.Lychee + Lime Green Tea: The Lychee is easily the most dominant flavor here. Personally, this is my least favorite, but it definitely tastes like the flavor profile and it's still good. You kind of have to look for the lime, but it's definitely there.White Hibiscus + Peach: This is a good one that any of my friends would enjoy, but the floral notes are not the star by any means - you really have to look for them. It's good, but the actual fruity and (slight) floral notes are a bit indistinct. If you want something floral specifically, I'd go with the Rose Lemonade instead.Mango + Cardamom: I really can't taste the cardamom at all, which I don't mind. Like the last one, it's a bit hard to tell what flavor it's supposed to be; it doesn't taste like authentic mango but it doesn't taste artificial mango either... just a smoother fruity flavor. Prepared cold, this is one of the flavors I think any of my friends or family would enjoy.Overall, the ones I recommend the most are the Rose Lemonade and the Mandarin and Ginger Infusions. If you like the idea of a strawberries and cream drink and don't mind adding cream, then the Strawberries + Cream is great too.

Very good tasting fruity tea with hint of vanilla. Would say a definite purchase!

Basically I like to blend my tea and I add this to my normal black tea when brewing.I drink it as an iced tea and adding this to a black tea gives it just that hint of cherry while the sour maintains the black tea flavor. Perfect by itself or when blended.

It's good tee

I bought several 20-count boxes of different teas sold here and rather than do multiple reviews I'll do them in one shot.Sweet Rhubarb - a little mixed on this one. This tea smells bad, almost revolting, like I'm brewing dirty sweat socks. After smelling it I didn't expect to like the taste but I actually do - it has a nice balance of tartness and sweetness coming out a little on the tart side. Would like a more pronounced rhubarb taste but it's a fine, perfectly drinkable cup. For a non-caffeinated tea I still much prefer Taylors lemon and ginger tea but I'd likely buy this again on occasion for variety.Mango & Cardamom - didn't care for this at all, and it's a shame because this combination should be spectacular and it isn't. The green tea has a bitter taste and there isn't much mango flavor there although the cardamom notes are lovely and help smooth out some of the bitterness. Overall it's weak even when using a small teacup. This one should be reformulated to use either a better grade of green tea or ditch it altogether and it needs some work on the mango flavor. Would not buy again.Mandarin & Ginger - again, a little mixed on this. It's pleasant enough and there's nothing really wrong with it but I don't taste much mandarin flavor at all. The ginger is there, a little spicier than in their lemon and ginger tea. But it just tastes fruity without a clear taste of what the main flavor is supposed to be, which is also problematic for the Sweet Rhubarb and the Mango & Cardamom. They simply don't taste like the main flavor listed on any of them. This is another one I likely won't buy again.

The quality of the product is excellent, I am satisfied with the product, I would buy it again and recommend it.

Very tasty but not super strong flavor. Use an extra bag for extra flavor

Perfect for a warm weather cup of tea. Caffeine free. Slightly floral and very citrus y.Good hot or chilled.
