5 out of 5 stars Best Tea I've had   December 30, 2007
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Every flavor of tea in this assortment tastes so much better than any of the other brands of tea at the supermarket. They are all delicious. I didn't know tea could taste this good. I thought it was expensive at first, but now I think it's a bargain considering how good it is. I am definitely only going to buy Tazo from now on, because the other teas taste like swill water in comparison, seriously, and I don't enjoy them half as much. I don't care if any tea snobs say that it may not be as natural as their snobby teas. I just want to enjoy a delicious, hot glass of tea and that is all that matters! What else could possibly matter? Nothing!




3 out of 5 stars More like 3.5 stars   March 23, 2007

I agree with most points in Ms Brown's review. I have to admit that Tazo always seemed to me to be just a marketing ploy to get us to pay more for regular tea. After trying this sampler, my opinion hasn't been swayed much. However, the teas in this pack are quite pleasant and do seem to have more intense flavor compared to other commercial bagged teas. What impressed me was how quickly the Tazo infuses and how rich the colors are! The Passion tea makes a deep, beet-red infusion! This makes me wonder if Tazo is impregnating their leaves with food-coloring or other additives. If you open the packet of Earl Grey, you will see for yourself that the teabag itself is stained with a yellow coloring. The tea tastes good, but if you're a tea purist, this may seem like cheating. I have no proof so I'll leave it to you to decide. After a tasting you might not care afterall. Personally, I like the tea, but I don't achieve Nirvana from it. :)

4 out of 5 stars Good Teas Overall, But Tazo Disappoints   September 15, 2006

****
Tazo Assorted Black and Green Teas and Herbal Infusions includes one or two of each:
AWAKE: plain ordinary black tea, a little bitter
CALM: nice chamomile tea
CHAI BLACK TEA: an okay chai black tea with caffeine
CHINA GREEN TIPS: great green tea experience, Tazo's best, no "natural flavorings"
DECAFFEINATED CHAI: an okay chai black tea without caffeine
EARL GREY BLACK TEA: a disappointing perfumy, intense, black tea experience
LOTUS: decaf green tea with lotus flower, one of my favorite Tazo's
PASSION HERBAL INFUSION: hibiscus-y, intense, caffeine-free, and luxurious
WILD SWEET ORANGE: orange herbal tea, some complex overtones perhaps
ZEN: mild, relaxed green tea

Their ingredients include: black tea, green tea, hibiscus flowers, chamomile flowers, lemongrass, citric acid, natural flavors, spearmint leaves, blackberry leaves, cinnamon, rooibos, ginger root, rose hips, orange peel, rose petals, licorice root, safflower, black pepper, lemon verbena leaves, cardamom, cloves, peppermint leaves, chicory, sarsaparilla root, lemon balm leaf, star anise, and red poppy flowers.

Tazo is an interesting company that makes only super premium teas. They are socially responsible, based in Portland, and have the motto, "The Reincarnation of Tea". Tazo is owned by Starbucks. Their web site is fun and quirky, with a Zen-type focus, definitely worth checking out. It is unclear, though, from their web site, how many of their ingredients are organic or kosher, and they do use some "natural flavors" in their teas--this wording seems a little vague for a super premium tea. In general I'm not a big fan of tea with flavorings added, preferring the subtleness and authentic taste of the real thing.

Overall, the green teas seem good. The herbal infusions are fine. The black teas tend to turn bitter if you don't brew them very briefly...even then they have bitter overtones. Tazo's assortment, and Tazo teas in general, are fine---better than premium teas like Stash or Celestial Seasonings---but not anywhere near as good as Numi, or Aspen, or other super premium teas made with only "real" ingredients and minus all of the flavorings. I'm more used to these high quality teas, which Tazo attempts to be, but disappoints...so overall Tazo Assorted gets a 3.5 to a 4. For this review, I'm rounding up, since so many people seem to enjoy these teas, and I'm in the clear minority. If your tea experience so far is drinking commercial teas of a lower quality, no doubt Tazo's teas will appeal to you, as they are a great improvement. They have a lot of variety and many interesting tea experiences. If you don't enjoy Tazo's teas, though, know that there are many, many teas made with all real ingredients, teas that cost only a fraction more, that may be just the thing you were looking for.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent bagged tea assortment   September 12, 2006
 8 out of 8 found this review helpful

This is one of the nicest tea assortments to keep on hand for yourself or visitors.

Awake is a great quality, sweet black Assam tea. By sweet, I mean it is not too astringent or bitter.
Calm is a chamomile-lavender blend, very distinctive

There is a green tea, a mint, and other flavors that will please nearly anyone. You can try these teas to see what are your favorites (the fine Earl Grey?) and this is also great to keep in your office or home for treating guests to whatever tea they may prefer.
