African Solstice from Tea Forté

The scent of the tea is yummy! It smells like fresh, sun-ripened berries, with just a whisper of vanilla. And it really tastes as delicious as it smells: a lightly sweet (but not overly sweet), subtle berry flavor, paired with creamy vanilla.

Now, I LOVE pomegranate, it is one of my favorite fruits. So I was truly surprised when this tea was remarkably able to closely resemble the flavor of real pomegranate arils. Juicy, ripe plump arils!

This tea brews to a full-bodied, flavorful cup that is nicely aromatic – a delicate, fruity scent – and lightly sweet. The berry flavor is adequately balanced with the black tea flavor – which is bold yet smooth, offering just a hint of dry astringency.

I have to admit, there are a number of things that turned me on about this tea when reading about it. After all, I am not the blender who won first place for Best Herbal Tea in the North American Tea Championship in 2011, no, that would be Tea Forté for this very tea!

A delicate, mild chamomile! A lovely tea to sip on a cool summer evening. The orange peel compliments the sweetness of the chamomile quite nicely. Top it off with a hint of a vanilla, and this makes for a smooth, relaxing beverage!

The citrus peel adds a delicate note of fruit, and there is a very pleasant note of vanilla. The natural apple-like taste of the chamomile seems a nice match for the citrus and vanilla. The overall taste is a very soft, comforting one, just right for the end of the day.

Miss Ash
And it smelled like real cherries– again, I was thrilled. No need for sweetener or cream because the tea itself was sweet and I’d guess that the acid from the cherry and raspberry ingredients would probably cause the cream to curdle anyway. So naked tea it was! The flavor was clearly apples and cherries, though there was a tart hint of raspberry by the time I reached the end of the cup.

Prior to infusing it smells like a chocolate or hazelnut coffee. The coloring is a medium brown and semi cloudy. After steeping it smells more like a plain nutty coffee or tea blend.

The peppery kick from the ginger and black pepper brings a smile to my face. It is subtle, but adds a nice, savory note to the overall cup. The cinnamon, cloves and cardamom are well-balanced and provide a very pleasing, even taste of warm spice.

The mango aroma and flavor are mild but satisfying in this tea – mango doesn’t overwhelm the flavor of the green tea entirely, the way some fruit flavors do.

The flavoring of this tea is not very mango, some mango flavors dominate the whole cup. When smelling the dry tea one assumes that is will be heavy in mango flavor because it is a heavy scent. This one is a light undertone that is subtle but noticeable in each sip.

This tea brews up a deep amber color with hints of red and yellow, and has a sweet mellow fragrance which is rich with apples and spices. The flavor is incredibly smooth, and while the main flavor you sense on the palate is of juicy sweet apples, the spices provide a delicious warmth to the liquor that imparts a very autumnal flavor that is soothing and warming.

This tea conjures up a wonderful aroma in the cup. The citrus flavor of the yuzu (which is a lot like grapefruit) settles or is dispensed and settled at the bottom of the cup, and the honey taste is as authentic as if one were to take a spoonful of honey and pour it into the cup.

Tea Forte takes the restorative combination of honey and lemon, and intensifies the citrus flavor by adding Yuzu. This tea is soothing, just like mom’s old cold and flu remedy. The citrus flavors wake up the body, and help energize. It works well when you’re feeling under the weather, or just when you need a burst of lemony sunshine.

All the flavors are perfectly balanced in the blend so the flavor is an extremely authentic kiwi, lime and ginger root flavor.

Silk Oolong tea is also known as Milk Oolong tea, not because there is any real milk in it, but because the soft aroma of the brewed leaves smell milk-infused even if you haven’t added milk. In fact, the aroma of this tea is exceptional, a beautiful light fragrance that rich, creamy and delicious!

This actually tastes a bit like warm fruit juice – like something you might drink from the punch bowl at a winter party … sans the alcohol!
