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!

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:
This is my favorite tea. I love the spiciness of it--just enough spice without being overwhelming. It is a light tea, as others have mentioned. But it's a white tea so it's supposed to be light. I'm not a black tea fan and if you are, you may find this tea too weak for your palette. For me, it's perfect, and I have it automatically delivered every month!

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I love this tea. I first bought this tea for my grandmother while on a short trip to Atlanta, Georgia. The man behind the counter pulled out this tea and I fell in love at first sniff. I have a cup of this very often, and my 2oz supply from a month ago very quickly depleted. I love the taste, but I just wish that the flavors were a tad bit stronger-they definitely have the potential to expand a bit more. Other than that, this tea is excellent and I am still content with it's current flavor strength. After reading another review on this tea recommending a pinch of cinnamon and sugar, I tried it (despite my inclination to add no sweeteners to my teas) and was satisfied-it reminds me a lot of Christmas. Great tea for the holiday season, and is well worth the price.

I love this tea with and without German Rock sugar. It blends magnificently with "White Ayurvedic Chai". And when you ice it, it takes on a completely different flavor! If you love sweets this tea is for you!

Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:
I'm not a big fan of fruity teas, so I wasn't interested in this tea based on the description, but one whiff at my local Teavana changed my mind in a hurry! The flavor is actually more spicy than fruity--the oranges are definitely not the dominant flavor. This has quickly become my favorite tea. It doesn't have a lot of caffeine, so I tend to drink it more in the afternoon and evening (I usually need more caffeine to get going in the morning), but I do enjoy it at any time of day.

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:
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!
