Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
LOOOVE this one -- but conditionally. At the bare minimum I need creamer and some honey, but it's a great mixing tea because of the almond-flavor in it. I pair it with Honeybush Vanilla, Genmaicha, and even Black Dragon Pearl -- anything that'll ground it a little because it's a little light (light, not weak if that makes any sense) for me. But so smooth and flavorful!
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
Very spicy rich flavor especially for a white tea.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I LOVED the aroma of this tea in the store, but was a little disappointed that the taste didn't match-up with the smell. I was glad I read a review that suggested adding cinnamon, because this is just what this tea needs, in my opinion. I add 1/8 tsp. cinnamon for each cup, right in with the loose tea, and it tastes wonderful. With this addition, it has become one of my favorites.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I LOVED the aroma of this tea in the store, but was initially a little disappointed with the taste of my first cup, as the taste didn't quite match my expectations after smelling it. I'm glad I read a review that recommended adding cinnamon, because in my opinion, this is exactly what it needs. I add about 1/8 tsp. per cup with the loose tea in a tea bag. Perfect!
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I wasn't impressed with this tea. I was excited when I went into the store and the man said "I drink this everyday." It was only after I bought it that he said "Oh its really weak though, you have to add something to it like lady gray if you want any flavor."
Oh great, another white tea.. Generic weak flavor, the nutty-ness was there..barely, but you had to finish an entire cup just to get to it. The hints of citrus and coriander were nice, but I didnt get any other flavors.. The smell more than anything was the strongest out of this tea.
I brewed a second pot and added some Earl Gray from a ceylon tin I had.
This time the flavor dramatically changed. I tasted bubblegum.. I do not want bubblegum in my tea. It wasn't bad, but the combination almost made me sick. I am not happy with this purchase.
if I ever decide to get another white tea.. I will not be getting this ever again.
Thank you for the opportunity to drink this tea.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I tried this tea and i liked the flavor profile but for me the it was too weak. I did have a nutty profile that wasn't too sweet but it just wasn't my "cup of tea" and i would drink it again if someone gave it to me but i don't think i'd buy it again.i suggest you try it just to see if you like it or not.

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I've recently made the decision to switch from coffee to tea for the healthy benefits it provides. Today, I went to my local Teavana store in search of something interesting and unique, and was led to this fabulous tea. The smell is exquisite - orange with hints of almond and spice. The taste is even better - smooth, slightly sweet and nutty, with a lingering cinnamon finish. Tastes perfect alone, but would no doubt be great with sugar or honey. Definitely a new favorite!

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
Great tea anytime. Fantastic flavor.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
The smell of this tea is just beautiful, as is the look of it! The taste is just right - spicy but not sharp, caramelly, soft, complex. I don't drink a ton of tea but when I find a good one I really enjoy it, and this is one of the best.

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I went into the store asking for a pumpkin tea and they showed me this. It smelled nice in the store. It somehow does not smell as good this morning.
It tastes better than it smells, but I like to enjoy smelling my tea too. I will not buy this again.

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I like this tea, but by adding just a bit of cinnamon to your cup or mug after steeping makes it taste so much better. For some reason, the cinnamon brings out more flavor from the tea.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I bought this tea after trying it at a friend's house. It reminded me of autumn and pumpkin pie, so I HAD to add it to my collection. it's warm, soothing, and a perfect tea for the fall season!

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I have been an avid tea drinker for years and this is my favorite tea i've ever had. I went back to the store and bought $150 worth.. its that good and so unique. I can't say enough good things about this tea...
The only bad thing- its a little pricey so I don't want to share it: )
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I purchased this tea as an additive/mix in, not a stand alone tea. I could tell from the look and smell that it would be overwhelming to me if I drank it alone. I also need more caffeine than I can find in a white tea. For my purposes, this works perfectly as an addition to a black tea or mate. It has a bitter citrus undertone that I like and a smooth, spicy finish that can either be refreshing or soothing based on what I mix it with. Very nice tea.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I have many of Teavana's teas on hand, but this is my absolute favorite! It is wonderful blended with the honeybush vanilla too. I love strong, hot and fairly sweet teas. Even if you don't normally drink your tea with sweetener the german rock sugar really enhances the taste of this amazing tea. Pricey, but worth it and can be re- brewed which helps with the expense. Just use less water for the second brewing. LOVE IT!
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
Great for a gift...anyone would like it.
Very Nutty, Caramel like, Spicy Tea. I love it in the morning and mixed with a little bit of honey. Can't wait to experiment and try blending it with some other great teas.... :)
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
This tea reminds me of christmas time. I love it combined with pear luna. I leave the two to steep the second time in the refrigerator overnight. It's great chilled or warmed. As a warm tea, the spicy flavor is more prominent. The spice and pear combination are lovely. I have not tried this on it's own, as I feel it mixes well with and compliments so many of my teas. The fragrance is intoxicating. I have gone through two ounces in two weeks. Spice of Life is just perfect. I will repurchase without hesitation.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I wake up in the morning and can't wait until I have made a cup of my Spice of Life Teavana Tea. It smells so amazing and taste divine. Great Work Teavana
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I absolutely adore this tea. Infusion instructions must be followed or it does turn bitter, but when done well it is absolutely wonderful.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I asked for something new when I was at the store, and he showed me this. I have to admit, it smells just wonderful!! I love the scent. But, it doesn't transition into the cup as well as I hoped. I'm not saying it's a bad tea, just not my cup of tea.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
Just came back from a long busy weekend at Disney
I made this delicious tea and took a little afternoon snooze Which was great because some teas make me jittery ..Great tea in my book I think I'll brew another cup !

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I love the white ayurvedic chai, and thought this sounded interesting, but I'm terribly disappointed. I'll probably throw it out -- what a waste of money. I'll never buy another tea without trying it first.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I've tried steeping this tea exactly as instructed. It's not bitter just extremely flat. Everything special about this tea is in the aroma. I found it very disappointing.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
What a great tea to warm up with. I've never had a tea that was spiced quite like this, and I love it. From the moment I opened the package and got a whiff, I was hooked. I initially bought 2oz to try it, because I wasn't sure I would like it or not. At the rate I'm drinking it, I will soon need to buy half a pound. This one's in my top three, for sure.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
This is my "relax in the evening" tea. Need to be sure that you follow instructions 175 degrees for 2 minutes or it does get a little bitter. I love the big pieces of orange! Relax & Enjoy!!!
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I recieved this tea as a gift and I love the aroma and exciting flavors. I did steep too long for one cup and it was a bit bitter, but 2 minute steep time is perfect. Love this tea!
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I've been trying really hard to get into Teavana teas, but I've had a lot of misses. I thought this one was, the first time I brewed it I put in the rock sugar. The second time I didn't and I liked it a whole lot better. Sugar in tea isn't really my thing.
I got this on Christmas Eve and it went amazingly with all the baked goods we had around. The aroma is very warm and inviting.
I don't think it is bitter like others have commented, but I brewed it at 175 degrees for only 2 minutes with good results.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I love this tea!!! My husband who is a coffee drinker says it tastes to bland but for me it is refreshing. It is my little lift me up.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I loved this tea for the last 2+ years (you had to ask to hold some of the oranges when purchasing). I would go to the store so I could buy the tea without the excess oranges. Apparently there were so many complaints about the excess oranges, they reformulated. I brought home my pound and discovered the oranges had been shredded. The shredded rinds make it bitter tasting. I miss the original 2008 version before the excess oranges. It used be an incredible tea that was worth the price.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
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.
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I drink alot of oolong tea and love a good chai, but this one is beating out the chai and I don't know why I tast chocolate but I do. Love it!!!
Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White 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:
Just want to say- check it out
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 is my favorite tea ever! i highly recommend it to anyone for its amazing aroma and flavor. very light, so anyone should like it.
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!
