Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I find that I enjoy this tea when it's been freshly brewed, and then, I refrigerate the leftover tea, & it is is delicious as a cold tea!
It is especially useful to know that it requires a very short brew time, or it will become bitter (I find that is true of all the Teavana teas, because they are so fresh). So if the recommendation is to brew for 4 minutes, I brew no longer that 1.5 or 2 minutes. Also, I sweeten with Stevia, which can be helpful to Diabetics & dieters.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

Used to have a lovely, delicate cherry taste and smell. Now it smells medicinal and whatever has been done to the blend overpowers the white tea. It gets bitter easily if your water is too hot or it is brewed too long. Used to be worth the price, I even bought an electric kettle to avoid the temperature problem. BRING BACK THE OLD BLEND!!!

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This tea will fuse well with about any tea that you can throw at it just avoid steeping it to long or steeping with the water to hot.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

The new blend has totally ruined this tea. The roses are so strong that you can't taste the delicate flavor of the white tea. The color has also changed from the lovely off white to a pale pink.
Go back to the old formula!

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I thought I would love it just by reading the ingredients. Unfortunately it has somewhat of "artificial flavoring" quality to it. If you steep it shorter than recommended the tea is too weak, but the fruitiness is right. If you steep it as recommended, the tea portion of it is right, but the flavoring overwhelming. I tried it iced as it usually works great for this type of tea, but it still didn't do it for me. I guess that maybe if you are a big fan of teas like Earl Grey, than it you'll like it... I love it's smell and the name is a killer! I really bought it for the name - interesting, intriguing... then the aroma, and the list of ingredients just made me expect so much... I am disappointed!

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This tea is great iced and slightly sweetened. Pricey, but well worth it.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

You have to pay attention to how you brew this tea..if the water is too hot and you steep too long, you ruin it, but prepared in just the right way, this is a magnificent cup of tea

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This smells absolutely wonderful, and it blends really well with several other teas. However, I can't drink it on its own; it tastes way too much like artificial cherry-flavored cough medicine.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

Snow Geisha is my "bad day" tea. If I've had a really horrible day, or if I'm stressed to the max, I'll brew a pot of the Snow Geisha, listen to some soothing music, and before long I've reached that happy, peaceful place. I love the sour cherry mixed with the flavor of the white tea -- I've never had anything like it. It's a little pricey, but it's completely worth it. A pot of Snow Geisha, the sound of one of our cool-weather thunderstorms outside, and a warm sweater is my personal version of heaven.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

what made me purchase this product in the store? the smell! at first i thought it smelled great. i get home and make a cup, and find the taste does not carry over. its like drinking light tea, with a hint of bad artificial cherry.

one thing i also realized after really trying to pin point the scent of this tea, it smells IDENTICAL to ludens cherry cough drops. i took it to work, and everyone that smelled it (without me telling them what i thought) and they all said it smelled like the same cherry cough drop. im glad i only got 2 oz, i will be using it to scent up my room or car, not drink!

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This tea is fabulous mixed with the peach rooibos tea. Love, Love, Love!

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I love the aromatic qualities of this tea. It is excellent both iced and hot. Because it is naturally sweet, I can use little or no sugar. I feel that this is an excellent tea for spring and summer.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I am not a big white tea drinker, but when I took a sip of this tea, the world sort of fell away, like it was just the tea and I. This tea actually tastes like snow - the promise of it, the crispness of the cold air, the faint tickling that comes from the first flakes of it landing to melt on your face... As you drink the cup, the taste doesn't go away. My friend and I were having a Teavana tea sampling one night, and she kept looking into her cup and saying, "How do they do that?! How did they put the snow in there?" We would laugh, and then savor another sip as we remembered cool winter days with the hint of frost around us. This is a divine tea.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This tea is a real pick me up in the morning. It is very fresh and the aroma is to die for...not to mention the taste! I love it. I found about about Teavana about 3yrs ago. And, everytime I visit the store in IL, I purchase this same tea...along with others. I am so so glad they have come to Indiana!!

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

The tea has a phenomenal aroma during brewing and pouring, but it just doesn't carry through. It ends up tasting like cough syrup. If you like the way Cherry NyQuil tastes, then this tea is for you. I'm not particularly fond of the taste.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I love Teavana teas and this is my absolute favorite! It is like drinking "great for you" candy. Such a unique taste and full of flavor. I LOVE it!

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

Very bitter. Steeped it exactly 2 minutes. I could really taste the rose and cherries.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I have it when i watch movies or when I want to relax. The body of the tea is exactly what I think a white tea should taste with it and its full of unique flavors. It couldn't be any better.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

Its my first time trying this tea, it was not what I had expected-in a bad way. I am not sure what is the ingredient that makes it smell potpourri-ish, I'm not happy with it.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

i have gotten this tea from teavana in the past i had gotten it mostly because of the aroma it gave off to me it smelled like a fruit by the foot candy and plus i love to eat the dried cherrys in the tea. when i began to drink this tea unsweetend i had found it to be too strong and a bit bitter it is hard to get the right amount of sugar in the mix but when u get it down this the best tasting, smelling tea i have ever drunk. i wouldve have given it 5 little buddahs peoples if it wasnt for the strong and bitter taste but in all i think you should buy it. (ask to smell it at your local teavana you wont be dissapointed.)

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I love this tea mixed with Oolong but by it's self the flowery/cherry flavour is too strong and I get very little of the white tea's flavour. I think this tea is intended to be mixed with other tea's. I like it with the Monkey picked Oolong and I am thinking I may try to mix it with a black tea as well.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I love this tea iced, and its a perfect summer tea. I like my iced tea light, and this one fits the bill, and my faviorte flavor! I sun brew in the shade, As to not get it too hot in the Houston heat an I don't get any bitterness, it just takes a certain amount of watching and timing.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I was very pleased with this tea, it's probably my favorite at this time and my sisters too. It's really nice with Raw agave nectar too. But don't let steep for too long, it will get bitter quick.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I do like this tea, but I think it is much better iced than hot. I don't know that I'll continue to get it, and if I do, I don't think it will be as often as the other teas I normally buy.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

Wonderful cup of tea! It's the perfect blend of flavors and is great anytime.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

Probably the only reason this tea was bitter was because I steeped it in too-hot water. But the smell and flavor were phenomenal, and well worth the price. Would I purchase it again? Most definitely!

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This is a wonderful tea, one of the first Teavana teas that I tried. If steeped too long of if the temperature is too hot, it will taste bitter. When brewed propery, it is beyond compare (so get out the thermometer and the timer!). There is a pleasant fruit aroma and the taste is very mild. I drink this tea in the evening to wind down.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

Just the aroma of this tea alone is fantastic! Although I prefer it hot with just a little rock cane to bring out the cherry flavor, it's almost as good without sugar. Mixing it with the Japanese Wild Cherry (Green) is another great way to enjoy it. And, just yesterday I had it iced -- fantastic! You can't go wrong.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

this is a nice treat

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This is one of my favorite flavored white teas. I adore cherries, and to me, this tea has a pretty natural flavor - not at all like cough syrup. The smell literally will lure me from across the house, but the flavor is actually very mild and delicate. You do need to be careful not to oversteep, as the type of white tea leaf that teavana uses in all their flavored white teas are very unforgiving and will definitely get bitter. To be honest, that's my only complaint. Using silver needle would make for, I think, a much smoother and higher quality tea, but I understand why it isn't used - the density is such that heavy ingredients would easily fall to the bottom of the tin. Oh well. It's still one of my favorite flavored teas.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This is a special tea, I drink it to treat myself to a wonderful experience.
a great way to start a day!

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This tea has the best aroma! It smells as good as it tastes :D It makes great iced AND hot tea. It's great for people of all ages because it has low caffeine, and its great at any time of day for the same reason. I think it tastes like White Gummi Bears :D

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I really think that there are much better teas available at Teavana like Imperial Blueberry acai white tea, Earl Grey creme black tea, and the imperial green tea.

If you like the smell of cough medicine then this is the tea for you. The smell is very empowering and reminds me of cheap potpourri. The actual taste is not that bad but again it is not the best tea at Teavana by far.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

The first time I ever had this tea, it was mixed with Six Summit Oolong at a Teavana store-front. I recently re-discovered it in my pantry and just had a cup of this blend and it is so fresh and amazing. My husband (who doesn't normally drink tea) didn't even have to sweeten it! I just bought the Snow Geisha today without any other flavor added, and will admit that it is one of my favorites and often hard to find...it is a popular choice amongst steadfast Teavana drinkers! I would recommend solo or as a mix to anyone!

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This tea was received as a gift to my husband, and I have pretty much stolen it from him. When we opened the bag to smell it, I was in love. Of all the flavored teas I have sampled, this one works for my sweet/sour pallette. In addition, it contains strong floral overnotes. It would be a lovely treat for anyone who likes complex tea recipes.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

this is one of my first teas from teavana, and i have yet to find one that tops it. it has such an amazing scent that reaches out of the cup, and the wonderfuly calm and fruity taste does not fail to live up to its captivating fragrance. i would recommend this tea to anyone either loves tea or has never gotten into it.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

the combination of cherries and rose petals is very unique and well played off of eachother. it has a taste that leaves your tastebuds in complete nirvana after it's consumed.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

It's amazing.
It's good.
It's smooth.
It's lovely.
Kind of like...Obama.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

I use this great tasting tea in the morning to help reduce arthritic pain. It really works! To be completely honest, I also take Celebrex; however, the Celebrex alone only reduces the pain slightly. But with the addition of the Snow Geisha, I am almost completely free of pain the better part of the whole day while I am at work. I then drink another cup at night before going to bed and remain pain free throughout the night. I have also tried sour cherries alone and they do not work as well as the tea blend. I have been using this tea now for six months and it has been a godsend. When I run out of the tea for several days I am back to suffering with pain that almost makes me unable to walk. When back on the tea I am able to resume my normal routine. I have given the tea to several friends with arthritis and they have had similar results. I have never bought into homeopathic health care, but, this works for me and I am sure it will work for others. On top of it all, this tea has a wonderful flavor and is quite smooth. I also like the fact that it is very low in caffeine and as a result, I have no problem drinking it late in the evening. Why hasn't there been any scientific research done on this tea blend?

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This tea is more strict on steep time for me. Do not exceed the recommended time by much or it will be bitter. It is one of my favorite flavors.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

When i walked into teavana, this was the first tea i asked to smell, after smelling it i immediately pulled out my debit card and asked for 4 oz. The first time i tasted it i was a little surprised, the tea can get bitter if you steep too long, and it was completely different from any tea i had ever had. after the third cup i was hooked on it. try it for yourself and see! and not to mention how good the tea makes you feel when you arent feeling too hot.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

It is a very good tea. I love it.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

i love, love, love this tea- and drink it throughout the day.
i tend to like the richer/heavier rooibos and mate teas.
the aroma is quite sweet and just amazing.
it is a strong aroma like cherry candy or cough syrup which may turn some people off.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This is a very nice tea but can turn bitter if not brewed correctly. Make sure to watch the temperature and brew time.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

Very floral and romantic. Nice tea to drink on a very special night. Soothing flavors and entoxicating scent... definaly recommend.

Comments about Teavana Snow Geisha® White Tea:

This is the best White Tea I've ever had. It is very smooth and flavorful. The scent is reminiscent of Luden's Wild Cherry cough drops. I would definitely recommend this tea.
