This was a very quick read for anyone who is interested in the history and benefits of Essiac Tea.  It is a very thorough and well written book.  I have purchased and brewed my first batch of Essiac tea and it is pretty darn tasty.  I will add this to my morning routine because even if you don't have cancer, it is very healthy for you.

I do not care which Essiac Tea you buy.. once made according to directions it is gonna taste like you just slurped out of a mud puddle.. However the detox effects are great.

Got the wood and made my first batch of tea already, tastes great!  Will probably reuse the wood chips and add some new to my next batch.

Tried a granulated Assam tea for the first time and this did not disappoint. Apparently 99% of Assam Tea is in this form. I tried following the guide I received from the manufacturer on how to make Masala Chai from this and it worked out really really well. My room mate also brewed it in our French Press and it brewed a nice strong black tea

I wasn't sure what to expect. Reviews and such said it would be very bitter and usually required an additive for taste. Honestly, I haven't done that yet and have just had it plain. Its not nearly as bitter as I thought. Just add hot water and you have a bearable green tea. As for energy and all that jazz...well, I haven't felt much different but maybe the natural stuff doesnt have the noticeable kick that the bad stuff has. For what its worth, I enjoy it. My girlfriend enjoys it and well likely order it again.

I have heard lots of good things about Yacon Syrup and I am eager to try it. I plan on adding it to my coffee in the morning.

I ordered this, primarily because I didn't want to buy tea from China.  I've only made one batch of cold brew iced tea with it so far, but it is smooth and the acidity is fairly low.  I will have to increase the amount I was using with the other green tea, as this one is much more mild in flavour intensity.  Overall, I would buy it again, but I'm going to buy some CO2 decaf next time.

I Love it. Somehow a few years back I found myself  with a couple bags of Lapsang Souchong . I always pushed it to the side, in favor of Irish breakfast tea . Finally the time came to try it. Smelled strange, but good. I brewed both bags together for 3 minutes and WOW what a delight!! I usually take a little sugar, honey or agave nectar and powdered creamer, but, this was good without adding anything. I could never remember what brand it was, so I have shopped around with some awful results. Thank goodness I got it right this time. My family thinks I have lost it. They hate the smell. I Love it. I add sweetener and creamer and close my eyes to enjoy the memories that the smell and taste evoke. I would say it is kinda like some cheese, smell is horrible but tastes so good. I will be reordering, soon because I grew mine 2 bags to a cup.

This is my first time making kombucha and its been almost 8 days since I made it. I sampled it this morning and it tastes great.
The scoby was sent quickly, and had a good amount of liquid tea with it. Clearly enough to make this first batch.
Make sure the scoby you buy has the tea. Its needed for the first batch. After that the kombucha you make can be used to make the new batches.

This tea touched me the wrong way the first time I brewed it, but never judge a tea by your first brew otherwise you'll have plenty of wasted days of tea. I brewed too much for too long so the tea was bitter and hit me like a bull. But I gave it another go a few days later, less tea and VERY careful attention to the extremely short seep time and it paid off, I got a decent cup of English black. Not exactly my favorite, I much prefer other blends of black, with green being my favorite; but I was new to tea when I ordered this months ago and hadn't exactly figured out my preference. If you like English tea this is a good buy for the price; but note that it might not be for everyone.

I would love to give this tea a higher rating, but it's not exactly premium leaf. A good tea though.

This turned out to better than I expected. When you first open the bag it smells strong but don't be discouraged. Once it's warm it taste delightful.
I shared it with my office.
It gets Five Starts for taste. I just can't afford to buy it all the time which means it will be a treat for me. I wanted something to replace my coffee for each day.
Hope this helps.

I don't like wimpy teas.  This is a robust & flavorful blend.  I'm mostly planning on using this to make iced tea.  I made a gallon just yesterday, and it turned out very well.  I used the below mentioned brewing basket, used hot water, and let it steep for a few hours out in the sun.

The leaves are fairly small, so as another reviewer said, you probably won't want to use a typical tea ball.

This one works great, and is 10$ :&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Finum-63-421-50-00-Brewing-Basket/dp/B000I68NCS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Finum 63 421 50 00 Brewing Basket</a>

From a price perspective, this is an excellent value.  This is 1 kg - about 2.2 lbs.  Seems like most  loose-leaf teas run about 15$/lb.

I have no complaints about this.  I'll be back for more when what I have is exhausted.

I love it. You have to brew it for no longer than 2 minutes otherwise you'd get a harsh after taste. It's calming but kicks in a little bit of energy. I also like the spearmint smell and light aftertaste. This is now one of my favorite teas!

I work from home, I'm quite the coffee connoisseur and I wasn't sure if I'd like this stuff but it does taste pretty darn good. I don't always need 200% caffeine so I bought a few of the other Sessions bags with different caffeine levels so I can drink coffee later in the day too. Good stuff!

Just received and made my first cup and it is good!  Flavor is not bitter but is strong enough to satisfy taste.  This is first time trying this brew.

The conventional wisdom is that Lapsang Souchong is an acquired taste. It's probably more the case that you are going to either love or hate this tea after the first couple of cups (give yourself a couple of cups' worth before passing judgement, so that you don't confuse surprise with dislike). You have as much chance of liking or disliking this tea as you do any other. I personally think Earl Grey has a "funkier" smell and taste to it than Lapsang, though that doesn't stop me from drinking it.

Do yourself a favor and start with fresh water in a clean kettle, and a fresh tea-bag in a cup or mug. Even with a mug, my experience has been that the brew time suggested is a little long. Go with 4 rather than 5, and that might help if you are nervous that the tea is going to be especially bitter. Really, this tea, if properly made, is not bitter at all. In fact, I never add sugar or sweeteners to any tea, and Lapsang tastes slightly sweet to me on its own.

For a supermarket tea, this is a bargain. I got a 20-count in the grocery store on a 2 for 5-buck sale, and it's hard to beat roughly 12 cents for a pour, for this quality. To give you a comparison, I'm currently curing a Yixing teapot with a premium green tea that ran 40-some dollars for the quarter-pound. Consider that this Lapsang is costing you malt-liquor prices and you may be a bit more charitable with your expectations.

And by the way, premium lapsang souchong is out there, but based on reviews I've read on other sites, many drinkers don't find that the taste is significantly enhanced, unlike other teas, which really do tend to get progressively better as the price increases.
