Good Earth Herbal & Black Tea, Sweet & Spicy, 18 Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6) (Packaging May Vary)

This herbal tea is THE most delicious tea that I have ever had. I would give it a 10 star rating if I could. It is a delightful blend of Rooibos, cinnamon, orange, rose hips, ginger, mint, lemongrass, chicory root & other herbs. The most forward flavors are the orange & cinnamon. It is sweet without sugar, stevia or artificial flavors. The spicy notes intensify with how long you let the tea steep. It smells great & tastes wonderful. It is equally good as iced tea as it is when it is hot. Buy this tea as a gift for your tastebuds. They will thank you

What can I say...it's my all-time favorite tea. This flavor is naturally sweet...so no sweetener needed...ever. It's very tasty and fresh. I drink it hot, but I think it would be fabulous over ice too! I have been drinking this for decades. YUM!

I've been enjoying black, green, and herbal teas for years. Normally I keep a good supply of both Bigelow English Teatime Tea, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 6) and Bigelow Decaffeinated Organic Green Tea, 40-Count Boxes (Pack of 6) in the pantry. Recently my wife was given a "Variety Pack" of Good Earth teas and this particular tea was included. I'm a morning coffee drinker but after my two cups of French pressed Colombian Joe to get the motor running I switch to tea; normally a cup or two of the aforementioned Bigelow English Breakfast tea and as the day progresses I like to decrease the caffeine intake so I switch over to the Bigelow Green which is a decaffeinated tea. However, as teas go, green tea is relatively low in caffeine so the idea of switching to a regular, caffeinated green tea, really didn't bother me. Anyway, as soon as I enjoyed my first cup of this particular tea I new I had to make room in the cupboard; at least until I finished my supply of the Bigelow green.The first thing I noticed and enjoyed about this tea was the wonderful bouquet like aroma. Just like with a fine red wine the initial aroma/bouquet is part of the experience of enjoying good wine and flavored hot beverages. After the delicious aroma test passed with flying colors it was not surprising that the taste test would be at least equally if not more satisfying. Indeed it tasted delicious.As with any good quality green tea the flavor was fresh, light, and a bit grassy or "green". I was previously not familiar with "Matcha" or "Sencha", two of the three flavor additions to this tea but thanks to the internet, information about darned near anything is always nearby. I'm not going to Wikipedia you about Matcha and Sencha but suffice it to say they are both other forms of Japanese green teas that do in fact pack a powerful additional punch of antioxidants genuinely verifying the company's advertisment of "...more antioxidants".Allegedly this tea has 70% more antioxidants than their "Standard Green Tea". This claim though, stretches the truth. Comparing the two products nutritional information: Good Earth's Super Green Tea has 162mg avg. antioxidants per serving whereas their Standard Green Tea has 108mg avg. per serving. According to my calculator that's 50% more (162/108 = 1.5) It annoys me when companies make misleading claims. In cases such as this though I find it simply hard to understand why they would stretch the truth. Based upon the product as it stands, they really don't need to inflate this percentage. The tea is delicious, it's got more antioxidants, why don't they print that or print that "our Standard Green Tea has 67% fewer antioxidants than our Super Green Tea! LOL. Okay so that whole thing I wrote about the percentage of antioxidants is really pretty irrelevant, I know, but I had fun doing it. Sorry if I lost you, it's just all in good fun.The real FLAVOR FLASH in this Super Green Tea is the ORANGE. I think it's great. It tastes like they've added just the right amount of fresh orange zest to set this green tea apart from unflavored ones and it's a combination that works. And why shouldn't it? Citrus flavoring with tea is certainly nothing new.Now the claim that follows is my own and it is supported by the following facts and data: At the time of this writing there were eleven customer reviews on Amazon's Web site for this product. Ten of those reviews were positive (i.e. 4 or 5 stars) and one was neutral (3 stars). By my calculator that means that 91.7& (rounded) of the population really like this tea and NOBODY dislikes it. Based upon the facts and data I think it's safe to buy some for yourself. But, you may well be an outlier and not like it at all so, to be really safe and smart, if you haven't already tried it, buy a box at your local grocery store. If you like it come back to Amazon and get in on their Subscribe and Save Program.I like buying Bigelow brand teas primarily because I like their flavor and believe they use fresh high quality teas, but also, and nearly equally as important, is because of how they are packaged; that is each tea bag is individually packaged in a fully sealed foil-like pouch. While this certainly adds to the cost it also helps assure freshness is maintained; an absolutely essential element in ensuring a good cup of tea. This variety of Good Earth tea is packaged in the same, high quality, freshness maintaining manner.Just a final general note on brewing green tea: Just as you would brew any other kind of tea, whether you have bagged tea or loose green tea, one thing to watch out for: Don't use fully boiling water. Green tea is more delicate than black, so it's best to keep the water a little cooler. Brewing when your water is just about to hit the boil is ideal.Bon appetit!

Great tea, flavorful and relaxing

One of my all-time FAVORITE tea blends. This, with some raw honey, is my go-to when anyone in the family has a cold. It tastes so good, and I now prefer it over coffee in the morning.

I'm adding my voice to the chorus of people who found their recent orders of this formerly wonderful tea delivered a product that has totally changed - and not in a good way. The tea, which used to be deliciously "sweet and spicy" is now bland and blah. No more delightful smell or taste - or even a vaguely unpleasant smell and taste.I have been enjoying this tea for many years, starting with the 1980's version sold in the original Good Earth restaurants in CA, and including product later bought in retail stores and on Amazon. But suddenly, when I ordered and received a six-pack of the non-organic tea through Amazon on Dec 13, 2024, I was surprised to find this unpleasant change for the worse. It was even vaguely Yucky!Immediately upon opening the first packet, I noticed that the former, intoxicatingly delicious scent was gone, replaced by that vaguely unpleasant odor I mentioned above. Then, after brewing a cup, I realized that the formerly lovely taste was gone, too. Thinking that maybe I needed to get the organic version, I bought a 6-pack of the caffeine free organic herbal tea. Sadly, it was to no avail. The organic tea also lacked the former, distinctive, "sweet & spicy" aroma and taste and provided the new, yucky smell/taste.Other reviewers have pointed out that the new version of this tea is now made in the UK, not New Jersey as before. Whatever the cause, I now have 12 boxes of nasty tea and am forlornly "California dreaming" about that wonderful tea I starting drinking at Good Earth restaurants over 40 years ago in the San Francisco Bay Area.DO NOT BUY this version of the tea until Tata Consumer Products, the current brand owner, wises up and goes back to the original recipe.

I am not a tea drinker BUT this is a game changer for me. No sugar or honey needed. I actually sent this to a friend as a gift and she loved it.

Strong flavor
