This is a review for Stash Tea who sent me the flavors you will find inside this post in exchange for this review.
As soon as the Tea’s arrived I thought of David’s Aunt Judy who was having Back Surgery and wouldn’t be able to do things for herself. But she loves Tea.
Charlie and I went through what we received and made a list of 4 flavors to pick up for her at the Grocery Store with Tea Cookies, Napkins and Meat and Cheese and created a Gift Basket for David’s mom to take her.
All of these ingredients come together to create a unique aroma and flavor you’ll keep thinking about long after the last drop leaves your teacup. Good thing there are so many tea bags in each box!
Pomegranate Raspberry has a nice smooth taste and not ever tasting a Pomegranate or Raspberry I wasn’t sure I would like this but I did and I could see making a cup of this Tea on a cold night and cuddling up with a book.
Charlie and David also tried the Pomegranate Raspberry and they thought the taste was good and that neither fruit overpowered the other fruit. Charlie said he would like to see what a Popsicle would taste like made from this tea.
When you watch this blend brew up, prepare yourself to experience the perfect blend of spicy and sweet. This fruit tea has all the freshness you’d expect from a ripe, juicy peach, but it also has a powerful, lingering zest of ginger. As you drink it, you might notice the matcha bringing out the green tea flavor, rounding out the notes of this robust blend, and giving you an extra boost of caffeine.
Some call this a ginger tea, and others, a peach tea. No matter what you call it, you’ll feel like you found a pot of gold when you sip on this tea. Lucky you!
David wasn’t feeling well the other day and he wanted something that might calm his stomach. I had David try the Ginger Peach Tea which is a Green Tea and Matcha and David said this tea helped him alot.
Charlie and I both took a drink and even though it is a Peach and Ginger Tea I don’t like Peaches I could see us drinking this again because the Peach isn’t overpowering.
If you know Stash Tea at all, you know that our bold teas brew up brighter and true-to-name. And this brew does exactly that. It’s a tasty, naturally flavored, tart and inspired lemon tea. And when you’re sipping on this tea, chances are good that you’ll probably have a moment of clarity–sometimes, life really does give you what you need. Like this herbal tea that is great no matter the weather. Drink it hot or iced.
Pour up some of this Meyer Lemon tea and you’ll realize for yourself that it’s one of the best herbal teas out there. No other citrus tea is as tart and flavorful.
Meyer Lemon Herbal Tea is one I knew I wouldn’t try because I do not like Lemons in any Soda while David and Charlie both do. Especially Lemon Tea.
I wasn’t wrong because as soon as I showed Charlie this container of Tea he went into the kitchen and made him a cup. As he drank the Tea Charlie let me know we needed to order more because he liked it a lot and so did David.
Asian Pear Harmony
We use Japanese-style green tea sourced straight from our own tea garden, along with the juiciest pear flavors to make this harmonious flavor. This energizing blend is perfect in a tumbler for some tea to go.
One reason you’ll love this tea is that green tea caffeine levels are known to be less than your average cup of joe. This fact, plus the presence of L-theanine which naturally occurs in tea plants, is the reason you get a smooth influx of energy with this green tea blend. Not to mention you have a much lower chance of a crash.
David was excited to find out one of the Teas had Pears in it that he snagged this box to take to work with him and Charlie and I weren’t able to try this flavor out.
But David liked Asian Pear Harmony so much that he has asked me to pick up a box for him to take to work and when I do I will keep one or two tea bags out so Charlie and I can try it on our own.
That’s just one of the flavors in this tea.
While you’re sipping this herbal tea, raspberry is poppin’ off in the cup, being wild, while the hibiscus flavor comes forward in a noticeable way. This flower is not technically a wallflower, but its flavor shines through when you brew up this beautiful pink cuppa. The bright, tangy notes of the hibiscus are the perfect wingman to wild raspberry.
Opposites attract and usually make a great pair, right? It’s as true with people as it is with our Wild Raspberry Hibiscus tea. Wild Raspberry Hibiscus is bold, and we think that over time, it just might become your best tea.

Charlie and I were studying Flowers in school the other day and while we were I made up a cup of Wild Raspberry Hibiscus Tea for our morning snack so we could discuss this flower.
Charlie was surprised to find out Flowers are used in Tea but he liked this one a lot and so did I. I can’t wait until my sister comes to visit because Charlie wants her to try this flavor out.
This extraordinarily juicy peach tea will turn you into the hero of your own story, through all its oolong tea benefits. As the caffeine from this blend begins to energize you, you might find the motivation to conquer that wicked mess that accumulated out of nowhere. As you go about your day, getting things done, you’ll realize that this white peach tea is basically the fairy godmother you always wanted. The magic is not only in the taste of this sweet and fragrant natural peach flavored tea (although that’s a winning feature), the magic is also in experiencing the peach tea benefits that basically bring you everything your heart desires.
We use oolong tea from the Wuyi mountains of China to create this unique flavor. Wuyi tea bushes grow wild all over the mountains, rather than in a tea garden. This makes the tea taste a bit deeper and richer compared to the lighter, greener, or stone fruit flavors of other types of oolong teas.
White Peach was both David and Charlie’s favorite Tea and has become a Staple in our Home. Not only that all of Charlie’s friends enjoy this Tea and stay out of mine now.
Before you ask me what I thought of White Peach like I mentioned earlier I don’t care for Peaches so I didn’t try it and let me tell you Charlie kept saying I didn’t know what I was missing but that is okay with me I still will pass on this one.
Rumor has it, this warm and spicy tea was literally made to fuel adventures. Our secret black tea blend is full-bodied and chock full of bold, brisk flavor. As a warmup to your fun-filled day ahead, we wanted to take your taste buds on a flavor adventure of their own; we took that secret black tea blend and mixed it with ultra-fine cinnamon, orange peel, and orange oil.
Before you set out for the day ahead, we have one word to explain why you should sustain your journey with this black tea. Caffeine. We suggest sipping this in the morning to boost your energy with a bold and citrusy cuppa. Better yet, put it in a tumbler and take it along to keep yourself caffeinated and alert from the start of your venture to the end!
The other morning, it was a little chilly in our home and everyone was asleep so I made myself a cup of Orange Spice Black Tea and went and made a Bubble Bath and took my book into the bathroom and spent time with myself.
I am so glad I did because this was my favorite Tea and I didn’t want to share Orange Spice Black Tea with David or Charlie. They can make there own cup if I don’t hide this box of Tea.
Double Spice Chai was one tea I wasn’t to sure about because I thought the Spices might bother my Stomach but they didn’t and I will be using this this Winter when its cold and I want something different and unique to drink.
When I saw Sunny Orange Ginger I wasn’t to sure of it but I went ahead and prepared a cup of this Tea for me and Charlie to share during our Homeschool Break.
Charlie took a drink and said the Orange Flavor was calming and that he didn’t mind the Ginger which was a mild taste. Then I tasted the cup of Tea and I also like the calming taster of Orange and Ginger. Both Charlie and I wouldn’t mind having this again.
Ginger Fire Chai
To make this delightfully bold beverage we blended chai spices with ginger root, yerba mate, and a little bit of vanilla. With ginger that builds with each sip, it’s sure to warm you from the inside out. The combination was carefully brewed up to make sure that all of the flavors are balanced while still packing a powerful, karate kick of spice. And being honest here: we couldn’t give ourselves enough high-fives in a lifetime to adequately congratulate ourselves on this tea blend.
We have a ton of chai tea flavors, but if you’re a fan of the heat, this hot tea will definitely become a favorite.
David and Charlie fixed them a cup of this Tea the other day while I was working and I could hear them discussing how they liked the taste of Chai and that they thought my daughter Leslie would enjoy having a cup of this Tea in the morning before leaving for work.
Charlie brought me a sip of his Tea and like Charlie and David I liked the taste and this Tea is calming and something I would use when I’m stressed out.
The experience starts the second you open up the envelope. Sense of smell is a big player when it comes to what we taste, and this smells outstanding. Then, when you brew it up, you’ll see a gorgeous bright red color. Ever notice that when something looks delicious, it somehow tastes even better? Yeah. We get that. This Strawberry Pomegranate tea is a case in point.
And finally, you’ve brewed your beverage and are ready to taste it. The fruity flavor tastes natural (probably because it is) but still bold and sweet. Since there’s no caffeine in this rooibos blend, you can enjoy it as late in the day as you like. Or if it becomes your favorite like we suspect it might, you can drink it all day long and all year long. In the summertime, it makes a brilliant-tasting herbal iced tea.
Strawberry Pomegranate was another Tea I knew Charlie and I wouldn’t like because neither of us like Strawberries but David loves this Fruit and would eat it every day if she could.
I was right because as soon as I unpacked the box David couldn’t wait to try Strawberry Pomegranate and as soon as David did he said he wanted to keep this on hand at all times.
As well as keep a box of Strawberry Pomegranate in his locker at work for the days he needs a pick me up. Then David said he would like to give his mom a box because she likes Strawberries as much as David does.
Mango Passionfruit
At first smell, you’ll know that this is a blend you would swipe right on. You’ve finally found the one you’ve been looking for. Someone, I mean something refreshing by being so naturally sweet, yet still bold and exciting. You’ll find yourself gushing to your friends about how obsessed you are with the tropical flavors in your teacup. Not to mention that there’s no caffeine, so you can sip on this Mango Passionfruit tea any time of day. We used all-natural ingredients to create this naturally sweet combination. So it’s okay that you’re obsessed with the fragrant rosehips, tangy citrus, tart hibiscus, and flavor-forward passion fruit in this sweet mango tea. Go on, give in to your newfound obsession. You won’t regret it.
Charlie had fun trying this Tea that it lead to a lesson in school as Charlie wanted to research Passionfruit and see what it was and learn more about the taste of the Tea.
It’s Back to School time for mom’s and that means even more work for her. Which is why there’s nothing like Tea especially Stash Tea to help keep mom sane during Back to School Season – or, any time!
If you would like a glass of refreshing Tea you should check out Stash Tea which offers us 150 flavors/varieties to choose from – ranging from fully Caffeinated to Caffeine Free.
All you have to do is steep the Tea (to steal 5-10-15-20 or even 30 minutes for yourself). You can use Ice in a glass of Tea to, infuse your favorite recipe with Tea, or make the kids run around doing Scavenger Hunts finding mommy’s Tea bags to cooking with Tea with your kids (Iced Tea Pops or Iced Tea Ice Cream will have them “screaming” or NOT for more!).
