Kungaloosh: Jack Frost




Steep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients :Vanilla, peppermint, ceylon tea, natural flavorings

Aroma: Smells like vanilla and peppermint, lol. A natural smelling tea.

Packaging: Tea comes in a sample pack, specially sent for review, and is loose.

 
Tea Leaf Quality: Nice sized vanilla chunks, peppermint leaves and tea leaves.


Taste: Fan-freaking-tastic, it's a really fresh energizing taste, clean flavors, I can taste the peppermint more than the vanilla which works for this tea. I really enjoyed each sip. I added french vanilla creamer because I am an addict, and it was nice. I liked this tea, it was light, fresh, crisp, just really good.

A great return to the blog.

Bigelow Green Tea with pomegranate




Steep Time: 2-4 minutes.

Aroma, out of the packet the smell is more of a pomegranate lollipop than actual pomegranate. It's sweet, like too sweet. After steeping there really isn't an aroma unless you put your nose right over the cup.

Packaging, the tea bag is stored in aluminum, which I love. The actual tea bag is too waxy, I'm not sure if it's just the packet I got or if it's the norm. It isn't like the Earl Grey tea bags. It seems to be so waxy that there is a residue left on top of the tea after steeping.

Tea leaf quality, The tea itself is barely visible, it's more like tea powder or tea flakes than tea.

Taste, there isn't much of a taste. It doesn't taste like green tea or pomegranate, which is odd. It seems like they muted out both flavors to be able to mix them.

Overall I'm underwhelmed.

Switching to a 10 rating.

Bigelow Earl Grey Tea

This is my everyday tea choice. I adore Bigelow Earl Grey, it was the first tea I ever bought,and have had a cup every single day for 2 years (I even carry these little guys in my purse!). I usually drink it with Coffee Mate fat free French Vanilla (my go-to creamer) and honey.

I love that the tea stays fresh in the individual aluminum packaging and I like that there is no staple holding the bag together, it's tied.

Steep time is 2 minutes, if done any longer tea gets a bitter taste.

Price - 5/5
Aroma - 4/5
Packaging - 4/5
Flavor - 4/5
Overall - 4/5
