Solstice Fruit-Tea Summer Tea Sampler Featuring Blackberry, Vanilla, Tropicana, Gold Rush, Raspberry, & Strawberry Kiwi Black Teas - Approx 90+ Cups

I drink a cup of tea every weekday morning in class. I have been drinking the same french vanilla black tea from another seller as my morning caffeine fix to keep me awake in class for months. I absolutely love that tea, but decided that I could use a change. I still wanted black tea, since it has the highest caffeine content of all teat types, but is still less caffeine than coffee. This tea fit the bill even better than expected! Each tea is unique, full of flavor, and just absolutely delicious. I tried one each morning for the past week to make sure that there wasn't a dud. I figured that if there are any that I really love, I can also buy them in a larger size later to stock up.Blackberry and Rasberry taste exactly how you expect them to. Mostly black tea, but with a nice sweetness and flavor of their respective berry at the end of each sip.Strawberry Kiwi is surprisingly light. The black tea flavor is slightly less powerful in this one, but it works really well with the sweet taste. It would probably make a good iced tea if I liked cold tea.Vanilla is probably my least favorite, but it might be because I'm comparing it to my absolute favorite tea. It never really stood a chance, I guess? Good flavor, nothing special.Tropicana is so much fun, because it reminds me of the mixed fruit flavor of a white tea, but then also the strength of a black tea. The flavors shouldn't work together as well as they do in this tea. It makes me think of mixing a fruit punch into a black tea. The flavors don't mesh perfectly, but I still like the contrast.Gold Rush Passion Peach is my definite favorite. It's not just two flavors mixed together, which you can find anywhere. It's really a lovely mix of peachy, fruity flavors with a nice dark base. I will probably end up ordering more of this.I bought this with my own money, all $16. This price is so low for the amount of tea you get, especially good loose leaf, that I didn't care if I ended up not liking half of them. Four of them are pretty standard, good teas that are still worth more than the price. The other two (strawberry kiwi and gold rush) rank up there with my Teavana teas. I'm not ditching Teavana, but I will always love a tea whose price you don't have to feel bad about! Highly, highly recommend trying these.

When the teas arrived, I was pleased to find them in tins, individually wrapped in a sanitary seal, instead of in small bags.The teas (and included fruity bits and bobs) are high quality, and the smell and taste is absolute perfection.I was looking for a good tropical tea both for hot and cold purposes. So, naturally, Tropicana was my first cup.The tea is as much a delight for the eyes and nose as it is fornthe palette. The blue flecks of cornflower, as well as the red thistle and marigold reminded me of the colors of a Renoir painting. The smell is almost reminiscent of a mango/citrus combination. The taste is more floral than that.Absolutely delightful and no one ingredient overpowered the others. They combined in a symphony of summer on my tongue.The next one I tried was Gold Rush. The scent of passionfruit was strong, but not perfumey. It has a smooth floral flavor with a bite of passionfruit on the finish. The peach gets a little lost in this, but if you seek it out you will find it.I found myself smiling a lot while drinking this and I think a lot of that is due to that passonfruit/floral scent. I sit in the midst of a horrendous ice storm here in Michigan, yet even though I hear the ice pelting my window, my mood has me feeling like I'm somewhere tropical. This is one of my favorites.The Strawberry Kiwi smells as strong as a Snapple and the blue of cornflower stands out among the black tea. The taste is light, the flavor balanced with the tannins in the tea.I have yet to try the Blackberry, Raspberry, or Vanilla but the smells and quality of the ingredients is similar in these teas to those flavors I did try.They include the brewing guide on the bottom of the box, but I think it would also be nice for a measurement chart for those new to loose leaf tea.All in all, I am extremely pleased with the tea and will absolutely be ordering again. Definitely recommend.

Four of the six are excellent flavors. One is just ok, and the last is horrible. The four that are excellent are the Blackberry, Raspberry, Tropical, and Kiwi Strawberry. Each one tastes great and are five stars. The peach flavor is ok. It is artificial tasting (not like the peach I usually get with teas), but it is drinkable. The vanilla is horrible. It is not natural tasting vanilla at all!!!! Tastes very synthetic and I threw it away. I will be ordering the Blackberry, Tropical, and Raspberry as stand alones at some point. I am gald that I tried the sampler before committing a specific flavor.

Truly this is a GREAT value! Low cost and high quantity.Each tin is filled nearly to the top. You have to be careful opening and scooping out the tea,I use 1 level teaspoon of loose leaf to make 24 oz of tea. I do not like potent flavor. VERY flavorful and VERY aromatic even at 1 tsp.IMO: Vanilla, Tropicana, and Gold rush are good as hot tea. The other 3 are very fruity and i think are much better iced vs hotI have drank Vanilla, Tropicana, and Gold rush since its currently winterVanilla is my favorite- At times I add pinch Indian Tea Masala with a sliver of ginger.- I do add mint leaves to above as well for VERY flavorful combo- have this almost everyday- I would a Big bag of this if they had it for saleGold rush is my second favoriteTropicana this is my weekend drinkIf you like me to take pictures and upload pictures of tins i haven't opened.please comment below

I purchased the sampler when I bought the cool brew jug. The flavors are to die for I add them to regular Black tea and find that I enjoy my iced tea even better than before. I will certainly be buying again

I loved the variety of black tea because black tea is my favorite. However, because I drink alot of black tea, the flavors like strawberry kiwi and vanilla tasted very artificial. Aside from that the other flavors were pretty good.
