I've received some new products from Pure Leaf Tea to try out. It is their green tea with citrus and black tea with vanilla. They come in plastic containers with 16 tea bags in each. The cap is sealed with a sticker and once you twist that open, there is another tin/paper seal there. Unfortunately the tin/paper seal for my green tea with citrus container was sealed to part of a tea bag. That wasn't that big of an issue though. I was still able to use the tea in that tea bag. I just emptied it into my Teavana Perfectea Maker. I'm sure if you had a regular tea infuser or just even a coffee filter you would be able to do the same thing.
I am personally still fairly new to drinking tea. It reminds me of drinking herbal medicine that my parents would give me when I am sick. So it took me a while to try out tea. If I had it my way I like to make my cup of tea sweet, like really sweet so that it disguises the bitterness. The green tea with citrus tastes a bit too sour for me. You can definitely smell the citrus and a bit of lemongrass along with the green tea. The aroma is not too strong, which is nice. Although the label does say iced tea, I have been drinking it hot since it is winter after all right now. I don't really like drinking cold beverages when it's winter.
In terms of the black tea with vanilla, I'm not as much of a fan compared to the green tea with citrus. This one reminds me too much of that herbal medicinal tea I mentioned. The vanilla is really strong so you can smell it right away when you open the seal. I think if I were to really try and finish all the tea bags for this one, it would take me a lot longer. Note that I have not had black tea before trying this out. I'm not sure that I'm a fan after tasting this. I would give black tea another try but we'll see.
Thanks to Influenster and Pureleaf for giving me the opportunity to test out these new tea products for sampling purposes in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
