Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

This is a nice blend of soothing ingredients! It's not too strong, and is light and lovely iced. I enjoy this one after yoga or when I need a little boost, but not too much caffeine!

Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

This is a really good tea. I drink all of my teas without any sweeteners or creamer. This tea is a wonderful balance of vegetal, semi-fruity, with a slight flowery hint. No flavor is overpowering and I like that I can still taste the tea in it, as opposed to mostly fruit, etc. This is good. I'm definitely enjoying this tea. I'm glad I bought 4 oz of it.

Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

This is a new find for me and I'm so glad I tried it. I needed a bit of sweetner so a small amount of Agave worked well. Perfect mid afternoon or anytime.
I will be purchasing more of this delicious tea.

Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

Admittedly, the first time I tried this tea I wasn't sure I was a fan, though I found myself beginning to want to try it again and again. It makes a fantastic yummy treat when blended with Queen of Babylon.

The bamboo leaves lend a dry, vegetal hue (which is what I think some may associate with bitterness), so the tea is not overly sweet, or too fruity. Just a stellar blend of leaves and fruit. I use less than a teaspoon of rock cane sugar with it for a full 16 oz teamaker. It doesn't need all that sweetness. Truly gorgeous, unique tea. Glad I bought 8 ounces! Please keep this one around!

Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

It reminds me of a citrus/chamomile tea--nice citrus/tropical flavor, without being too sour like some fruity teas. It would be a nice soothing tea for someone with a cold, I think. It probably will also be good as an iced tea.

Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

This is a simple, clean tea with a delicate fruit taste. At first, the smell was overwhelming and I wasn't sure if I would like it. After trying it, I'm a fan. It tastes like other white teas I've had but with a gentle fruity aftertaste. It's very tasty warm.

It is also a nice pink color--what a fun surprise!

Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

EMERALD BAMBOO FOREST is is one of those rare teas that I actually looking forward to making 1st thing in the morning, afternoon and evening! It curbs my hunger for unnecessary cravings that go against my plan (diet regimen) and actually satisfies my palate alleviating unhealthy eating! I've lost over 40 lbs in the last 3 months and I can honestly say this teas has assisted in this by its quality and taste alone!

Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

I only tried this tea over ice, but I have to say I was not a fan. Perhaps it was the raisins or the currants, but I thought the slightly bitter aftertaste did not pair particularly well with the vegetal taste of the bamboo.
It looks beautiful, however, and I would occasionally drink it when I am in the mood for white tea. This tea does not, however, make it into my regular rotation.

Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

I love this tea. Everything from its fruity scent to the beautiful red color it takes on when brewed. For those that may wonder about having beets in a tea, take a chance. The beet is subtle and adds a sweetness that doesn't overpower.

Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

I think the flavor with these two teas combined is wonderful. It has a mild flavor that's just enough to wake up your tongue and senses. I disagree that it is too sweet. It is a very pleasurable tea combination. I first tried it in the mall where they were providing samples to shoppers. It had been a long day and the sample was so refreshing. I had no intention of buying tea and went back for a another sample and coudln't resist. It was so welcoming.

Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

I honestly think this tasted like sugared Kool-Aid and I drank mine without sugar. It would be nice to get your kids drinking this even if just for the health benefits, they prob would like it, but I just wasn't feeling it. I did give three stars becuase of the quailty of ingredients, which Teavana never seems to lack.

Comments about Teavana Emerald Bamboo Forest White Tea:

It can be used as a base for a fruit salad.i.e. Brew a 1/3 of a cup and add to the fruit melange.(cut apples, grapes, rasins, orange slices, peaches, rasberries,and seasonal fruits as appropriate. Stir in German Rock candy and let it marry the flavors in the fridge before serving in lovely glass compote glasses. Wa-la!!
