Even with honey or stevia, this stuff still tastes very bland.  I won't be buying it again.

This Thai tea was disappointing. Very weak flavor.

This is an ok tea, but I definitely wouldn't buy it again. I've had good experiences with numi in the past, so I thought I would try this tea. However, I found the taste to be lackluster. It isn't very indulgent in my opinion. It tastes like a light mint tea with a hint of something else. It only comes off as chocolate because I know it is. I haven't tried it with sugar or cream, but maybe that would improve the flavor.

I have purchased several other Frontier products and always been more than happy. But this was a total miss. I bought this cinnamon due to the high reviews.  I knew Ceylon cinnamon was supposed to be more subtle and delicately flavored than Cassia cinnamon, and yet a little sweeter.

THIS bag MUST have been defective, if I am to believe all the good reviews. I have a highly developed sense of smell, yet could detect NO cinnamon scent. Only a slight chemical odor I can't put my finger on. And upon a taste test, I was disgusted to find it tasted more like dust from a factory floor. Yuk!! Like I said, their jars of other spices I've tried are super, but is a total fail.

I have give kudos to Amazon for the easy return policy when I explained my problem. But I won't be replacing this with another bag from this source.

I drink ice tea all the time and English Breakfast is one of my favorites. I was extremely disappointed in this tea. Instead of finding "bold" or "daring" flavors, the tea tasted off to me. It was slightly fruity, not malty as the package said, giving the tea, to my taste buds, a sweet flavor.

In fact it tasted more like Starbuck's Passionfruit tea than their regular tea. It should taste similar to Starbucks regular tea which is an English Breakfast style tea.

Others in my family did not discern these flavors but, for me, this tea was a total bust.

Good, plain tea but has no tropical flavor to it.  Dissapointed that I have (50) gallon tea bags of nothing special.

I TRIED THE RED BUSH POMENGRANITE AND IT WAS QUITE AWESOME. FULL OF FLAVOR BUT NOT THIS TEA I HAVE PUT TWO BAGS AND LET IT SIT FOR 20 MINUTES AND IT STILL LACKS TASTE ON THE FRONT END. YOU CATCH THE VANILLA ON THE BACK AND IT IS VERY SUBTLE TO THE POINT OF WHERE IS THE TASTE? I AM DRINKING IT AS I WRITE THIS AND STILL FIND THAT RED BUSH TEA HAS VERY LITTLE REAL FLAVOR. FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE USED TO BLACK TEA OR EXPRESSO IT WOULD BE A JOKE. I ONLY DRINK HERBAL TEAS BUT I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TRY ANY OTHER FLAVOR. THE BENGAL SPICE AND POMEGRANITE ARE EXCELLENT. I HAVE TO DESCRIBE THE TASTE IS SORT OF A LIGHT TOBACCO TASTE(NOT A SMOKER)WITH VERY MILD VANILLA AND LACKLUSTER FLAT TASTE(PLAIN OR WATER DOWNED) BASE EVEN THOUGH THE COLOR IS DEEP RICH AND RED. I LIKE THE HEALTH BENEFITS AND WILL KEEP BUYING RED BUSH BUT NOT THIS FLAVOR.

I am very disappointed in this tea. I have purchased this tea many times from the Teavan store and website, so I know what to expect.  I
My tea had absolutely no smell at all, and was tasteless. I requested a refund, and am awaiting the response. The tea had very few citrus pieces in it, and looked mostly like safe with a few sprinkles of lavender. I will not order from this company again.

I've been very happy with Coffee Bean Direct, which is why I'm so disappointed by the poor quality of this blend, which I only bought because my usual blend (Nicaraguan Shade-grown) was out of stock.  Upon opening the bag, there was hardly any aroma at all, and the taste is bland. I've had other brands of Sumatra, which is normally a stronger coffee, but this was just awful... like the brown water that diners try to pass off as coffee.

My experience with teas grows with time.  I really love a good cup of Earl Grey.  I bought Twinings Earl Grey and was disappointed.  The bergamot is very acidic, the flavor was not enjoyable even with added sweet and milk.  The tea was too weak for the flavor of the bergamot to be enjoyed properly.  I love the Twinings tea tins and the ability to create my own cup of tea, but with this tea I have to add other tea to give the cup a good flavor.

So disappointing that they changed a GREAT tea into a very weak, almost tasteless one, it takes THREE tea bags to get just one decent cup of tea that still isn't even close to the beauty of the original Chai tea. Why, oh why, did you blatantly destroy this tea Twinings!!!! Go back to the original or I'll stop buying from you!!

I am fan of strong and bold assam tea....price is not a constraint...i tried this with very high hopes. Tried with many brewing methods and milk combination...BUT Definitely not a strong, bold and malty flavour as advertised. It was mire like a colorfull water with minimal flavour...in fact after 2-2 days I have decided to throw away remaing 1 LBS packet.

Terrible.. and I don't mean that it does not fit my idea of tea, it's just bad. The closest thing I can think of in terms of flavor is slightly stagnant water. I can't believe that anyone from this company actually drinks this. I didn't think it possible to create a more bland tea than some of Snapples offerings... but here you go.

Bought the Herbal and Chamomile, kind of a bland flavor- I am used to the Teavana tea that is overly flavorful but refuse to continue paying those kind of dollars for tea. I would buy again, but likely not this flavor.

Tea is rather bland but my main disappointment is that it hardly has a vanilla flavour. Package mentions carob and natural flavour (not organic I assume), don't know if the carob overpowers the flavour and give a rather strange flavour...

I am disappointed with this tea. I am used to Indian black tea such as Assam or Darjeeling.
This tea has no aroma and tastes pretty dull, nothing compared to the aroma and tastes you get from Indian tea. The quality of the product is great; good beautiful long leafs, but if you are used to Indian black tea then this would not give you the same experience.
