Deep dark tea, lots of chocolate flavor, and a hint of roses? If that sounds like the perfect tea to you, then you need to try China Seduction from Design-A-Tea.

Coconut Lavender Black Tea from Design A Tea


The Tea Guru
The Tea Guru

The black tea is the perfect base for the strong, true lavender flavor and scent which is so comforting and relaxing. The coconut is but a whisper of tropical notes behind the floral lavender, combining to make a soft yet intense tea.

Coconut Lemongrass from Design A Tea

The taste is sweet and just a little tangy. It feels (and tastes) smooth and creamy as it glides over the palate. The lemongrass has a light citrus-y note that tastes a bit more like lime than lemon to me in this cup. It also has a back note that is buttery – a note that melds very well with the slick coconut flavor.

Coconut Vanilla Black Tea from Design A Tea

I just finished a cup of Coconut Vanilla tea that I received as a sample. I was a bit skeptical about a coconut flavored tea. But I do love coconut milk in my rice, and this tea tasted like I had put coconut milk in my tea! I was scrumptious!!!!

Cranberry Ginger Oolong from Design a Tea


BunRab

I happen to like tart and sharp flavors, and I thought pairing cranberry with ginger would be especially zingy! Since oolong tea tends to be a bit mellower than black tea, but far less likely to turn grassy than green tea, I went with oolong for my base. The combination works nicely!

This really is a “feel good” tea, and it really made me feel good from drinking it! A lot of those herbs are especially settling to one’s tummy and digestion, as well as being soothing herbs.

Honey Rum Black Tea from Design A Tea


The Tea Guru
The Tea Guru

Honestly, the honey is the best part of this tea – I wonder if they use real honey powder as the taste is as close to real honey as it gets! And there is a hint of rum behind the honey flavor but it’s not overpowering – in fact the combination of honey and rum is very comforting and soothing!

Island Blend from Design A Tea


Ginger Halverson

The color, brilliant light green, was beautiful and it had some froth at the top. When I took a sip I was blown away by the almost (but not quite) overwhelming vanilla mango flavor…MMm… If only it came with that hammock they speak of…

Juniper Vanilla Spice from Design A Tea


The Tea Guru
The Tea Guru

So ambrosial and exotic! The flavor is one-of-a-kind, and the fragrance is indulgent and relaxing. I decided to bring out the clove flavor a bit by adding some high-quality organic clove buds to the blend as well. Together this makes a GORGEOUS tea that everyone should try at least once.

Marzipan Sunset from Design A Tea


The Tea Guru
The Tea Guru

The package states the ingredients are: Organic pure Grade Rooibos from South Africa, Natural Flavoring, Almond Pieces and Vanilla. I would definitely agree that this is premium grade Rooibos, and the almond flavoring is very distinct. The vanilla smooths it all out so that there isn’t any bad aftertastes.

PeacaMint from Design A Tea


The Tea Guru
The Tea Guru

They sure are right about one thing, this does mix a lovely earthy and nutty pecan with just a hint of peppermint to making this tea that just about anyone would like. The rooibos matches perfectly with the blend of pecan and peppermint, lending a honey-like sweetness to it and bringing the whole blend together nicely.

I like this much better than I ever expected I would. If I were to change anything about this … I’d change the name. It’s just … a wacky name. But then, I thought that combining pecan and peppermint was pretty wacky too, and that ended up working. So, maybe they should just keep the name the way it is.

A pineapple chai tea, tropical and spicy! There is a lovely Ceylon black tea base, and the roasted maté actually stands out quite nicely and perfectly complements the authentic pineapple flavors!

Plum Love’n from Design a Tea

The vanilla arrives upon the palate first. It is light and softly sweet. Shortly afterward I can detect the plum flavor, it is a strong, dominant flavor here, but in the context of this cup, it maintains the lightness of the other flavors.

Raspberry Peppermint Oolong from Design A Tea


The Tea Guru
The Tea Guru

The raspberry flavor is a very true raspberry flavor, so you can taste the delicious raspberries along with the smooth Oolong tea, and the peppermint adds a minty freshness that isn’t at all overpowering…in other words, this has mint IN it, but it’s not a “peppermint tea” in itself so to speak.

Ruby Red from Design A Tea

I haven’t had a good red rooibos in a while, and this was good! I love drinking caffeine free teas now that I have given up coffee and have been trying to cut back on the caffeine. Hot tea is great since I love drinking hot drinks, and I get the nice flavor.

The flavor is minty, but not mouthwash-minty. It is rather invigorating without the usual stimulants from the caffeine which is a real plus when it’s later in the evening

This is the special edition 2009 Holiday Blend from Design A Tea, featuring black tea, yummy coconut, and a hint of rum. I was really excited to try this year’s blend, as I really appreciated Design A Tea’s 2008 Holiday Blend, PeacaMint which we reviewed last March.
