Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
For 16ish ounces I added 1 tsp Tarocco Ruby Orange to 1 tsp English Breakfast and steeped for 3 minutes at 200 degrees. Initially I was thinking that I should have started with just the Orange, let it go for a couple of minutes and then add the Breakfast for another 2 minutes since the Orange has a longer recommended steeping time. So glad I didn't! Even at just 3 minutes it overpowered the Breakfast, in my opinion. I still drank it of course, but it was pretty sour. The second steep was better, but I think next time I'm going to give it a go as an iced tea as suggested or possibly add a bit of sweetener (which I normally don't go for) to take the edge off.

Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
This is my favorite herbal tea. It's wonderful hot, but I absolutely LOVE it iced. I prefer very strong and very sweet tea, so I double the recommended amount of tea and add lots of rock sugar. For a 16oz. hot cup, 4 heaping scoops of tea and 2-3 scoops sugar, and steep the full 6 minutes. For iced, double that, steep for 12 minutes, then pour over ice. OMG, writing this makes me want a cup! :-)
The review asks for things that aren't so great, but I literally cannot think of one thing I don't like about this tea.
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
This is a rather refreshing tea that's a little weak on its own, in my estimation. However, blended with Irish black, it's VERY good. And you can always add more than the suggested amount of leaves for more flavor. It's a nice afternoon or evening tea.

Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
I bought this tea because I had more Apple Lemon Pomegranate Rooibos than I knew what to do with, and Teavana recommended this as a blend. For 16 oz of water, I used 2 scoops of the Tarocco Ruby Orange and 2 scoops of the Apple Lemon Pomegranate, along with one scoop of the German Rock Sugar. Boiled water to 175 degrees, and allowed to steep for 6 minutes, before pouring over ice. The result was a wonderfully refreshing summer drink! I don't usually like to sweeten my tea, but the hibiscus in Tarocco Ruby Orange does add a hint of tartness that I felt called for a little bit of sugar.

Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
This is a great hot tea, but I think it's even better iced. The flavors seemed too strong when prepared hot. They were perfect when iced. I made a big pitcher of it and drank it while playing outside with my three-year old. She loves this, and I don't even sweeten it for her. I feel good letting her sip this instead of the usual sugary drinks a lot of kids chug throughout their day.
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
I would recommend this tea as an after dinner tea when enjoying an oriental dinner. Nice mild flavor that won't overpower your taste buds.
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
I mix it with Eastern Chamomile and peppermint organic tea. If you like sweet, add honey.

Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
This blend is a herbal harmony indeed. Various flavours nicely compliment each other. It is pleasantly tart. I mixed it with Ceylon tea to create perfect iced tea. I prefer to have it hot with honey.
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
I went to my local store and a worker there recommended this blend (this tea, along with Silver Needle and the Uptoian Jewel Oolong) iced, in a 16 oz cup for [$]! It doesn't get any better than that when the Silver Needle alone is around [$] for 2 oz. I gulped this down in about 15 minutes and wanted another one! :)
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
This is a phenomenal blend with great notes. I make a pot and drink a few cups hot and ice the rest. It needed hardly any sweetener, although a touch of agave perked up the citrusy notes in the 2nd cup. I would buy this again.

Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
Blood oranges are my favorite fruit, so I was SOOOOO pleased to find them in a tea. I love to blend this tea with either Peach Tranquility or Mate Lemon Blast, but I am excited to try some others as well. It is wonderful (if not best) when iced. Words cannot describe how much I love this tea.
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
I love to let me tea seep for hours. I love the flavor iced as it is pure heaven.

Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
Just like another reviewer mentioned, this tea is great when blended with the Apple Lemon Pomegranate Roobios tea. It's very refreshing when iced, and my four-year-old daughter loves it. Much better than sugary fruit juices or kool-aid (which I drank way too much of as a kid!)
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
I love this tea. I've tried many other of the citrus teas and this is hands down the best. going back for more.

Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
The tea is deliciously tart and packed with an orange punch! Some might find it too tart, but you can always water it down if you'd like. This would probably make a great iced tea too (more like an juice drink than iced tea). Beautiful color too! I'd recommend it in the mornings (if you don't need caffeine). It really wakes me up!
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
Great for morning or evening drink. Cold or hot, very tasty.
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
I love the taste/smell of oranges, but not the pulp, so this was perfect for me. I found it to be pleasingly tart (like an orange), but not overpoweringly so. I think you have to be a bit careful with the temperature and steeping times, but I've found that's the case with most Teavana teas. It also smells heavenly. It's made my entire pantry smell like oranges, and I love it! Mine came with a big orange peel in it, and I think when I finish the tea, I'm going to put the peel in a drawer or closet to get the scent!

Wonderful Flavor, Wonderful Smell, Wonderful Everything!!!! Will Continue To Buy!!!
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
I've had orange teas all my life, none of these compare to this tea.
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
Great herbal for those who like a tart & tangy. I enjoy this as a caffine-free alternative to my favorite sour-cherry.
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
I just love this orange laden tea. It is wonderful with a little Organic Hawaiian honey. Love the color.

Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
This tea is great mixed with Apple Lemon Pomegranate and Silver Needle. Very tart, but when I'm not in the mood for tart I add just a touch of sugar, and it completely reverses it. Add sugar to this tea blended with Apple Lemon Pomegranate, and it tastes like a popsicle without as much sugar!
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
This was my first Teavana purchase, and I adore it. Not only does it taste great, it smells divine! Very easy to drink!
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
This tea is tart & tangy by itself, but it's great mixed with Peach Tranquility. The combination of the 2 teas gives you just enought sweet and just enough tart (it tastes like the Orange Tootsie Pop candy shell). I makes a refreshing iced tea :D

Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
If you enjoy the tartness of Rasberry Sangria, this might be the tea for you.
I've tried it blended with several of my sweetest teas, and it's still too tart.
It smells wonderful, so I bought quite a bit. I will try blending it in smaller ratios.

I mixed this with the new Bangkok Lemongrass (equal proportions). The two together make a really great blend.
Comments about Teavana Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea<br />:
This tea has a great flavor that I am sure to have again. It can be a little tart (which I don't mind) if you don't add some sweetener. It's herbal so you can enjoy it as a late night snack without worrying about caffeine. If you want it in the morning you can add a mildly flavored black or green tea to give it a caffeine boost without hiding the flavor.
