I bought this tea on a whim because it has been "upgraded". All I can say is that I absolutely love this tea, and find myself drinking 2-3 cups at a time sometimes!

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:

I was very disappointed in this tea. It was rather expensive but I decided to give it a try because the reviews said the tea was worth it. I've tried brewing this tea several times now and and I just don't see the draw or spice in the tea that everyone else has. It tastes bland and bitter no matter what temperature I brew the water at or if I steep it for less time than the label states. I'm not saying the tea is bad, just not worth what I paid for it. I'll not be purchasing this one again.

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:

The initial flavor trends towards an exceptional cup of tea. Unfortunately, I brewed it 2 minutes too long and the lingering after notes is bitter. Save my first over-brewed cup, this is an extraordinary tea.

This tea is my favorite, I drink it every day. You have to be very careful when brewing, steep it for too long it gets bitter. It's great with a few rosehips added to it.

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:

I just rediscovered this tea as the nights got a little cooler. Smooth, spicy and soothing. Great morning, noon and night. As with most white teas, mind the water temperature and brewing time for the perfect cup. If you like chai, try this one.

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:

I was very disappointed in the flavor of this tea. It had an odd aroma steeped, and leaves an aftertaste. I will not be buying this one again. I pawned it off on a co-worker. I'm glad I only bought 2 ounces.

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:

This tea is delicious! I love mixing it with Zingiber Ginger Coconut Rooibos tea - it is really smooth and counteracts any bitterness, as it adds a bit of sweetness without having to add a sweetener. It is my favorite combination and I can't wait to drink it every morning! The aroma alone is so heavenly it relaxes me when I am stressed.

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:

I like this tea very much. I find it to be pretty robust, and I agree with a previous reviewer that you must time it carefully. I followed the directions on the label, as it was recommended to brew 1-2 minutes -- and I went for 2. But it was incredibly bitter. So I went for 1 minute and that was just right -- with a little honey in it. I like the nutty aroma - reminds me of Christmas.

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:

I am a fan of warm flavors (meaning I lean towards dark teas, versus fruity herbal teas), so when the salesgirl at my Teavana recommended I try this, I was a bit wary because of many orange pieces in this tea. When I tried it, I was very pleasantly surprised! The citrus flavors are not overpowering at all - rather, they are an extremely well-balanced complement to spicy flavors. The orange also adds the benefit of leaving a refreshing aftertaste, though I sometimes wonder if it might add tannins, as I sometimes am left with that parched-mouth feeling. The nutty notes in this tea are extremely pleasant, and give it a smooth, cozy taste, if you know what I mean. I would definitely recommend this tea, especially during the colder seasons!

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:

I don't usually buy the white tea since it is not strong enough flavor, but blended with other teas this ones a winner. Great blended with the formosa nut oolong also with the chai. Two completely different flavors but both very flavorfull. Will definitly buy again, love it!

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:

Spice of Life tea is wonderful.... the various tastes remind me of the fall and winter seasons. The tea itself isn't extremely robust, it's a bit on the lighter side. On another note, the only thing I really have had a problem with with this tea is that you must steep it very specifically to the directions... leaving it in for 15 seconds too long is long enough to make your tea very bitter!!! I brew this at 180 degrees for 45 seconds. Very good tea!
