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 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:

    I adore this tea, the flavor profile is a cross between a gentle Thai tea and a lightly spiced Chai tea, with a nutty base of almond and pistachio. I mix this with Caramel Almond Amaretti, and it is an absolute dream tea. There are tea benefits, with the white tea in this blend, and the spice is subtle, yet pronounced just enough. Beautiful tea, but for the price, I prefer to mix it with the Caramel Almond to stretch the budget! I have a strict $25 a month tea budget. But in my opinion, that equals 5 latte's, so I'm good... lol. I have some other favorites that are on the low side, but this is worth it. Give it a try!

      I finished this cup of tea quickly, it was lovely, nutty, full bodied. Wonderful blend. This is not a tea I would want to drink every day, but a nice, special one.

        To begin with the smell of this tea is absolutely DIVINE. Love at first smell. The flavor while subtle is very much so like the smell, and I can not say enough about how much I love the smell and taste of this tea. When you first start drinking the tea it is really subtle but with each taste the flavor becomes more pronounced. I do brew the tea slightly stronger than recommended, which does make it a bit pricey, but well worth it. Just add a teaspoon of Teavana's Lehua Honey and it is absolutely DIVINE. For me this tea was love at first sip.

        I love this tea, I tried it out of the blue when Teavana first opened and I love it. Has an interesting smell but tastes great. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys white tea or needs a good tea after dinner/or as an evening treat.

          Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:

          I am totally in love with this tea, smells like I stepped into a Moroccan Bazaar. If you don't like spicy teas, you won't like this one, but if you like chai then you'd probably enjoy. I rec'd this tea by mistake and a Teavana CSR told me to keep it or gift it for XMAS. Opened, it was love at first sniff! I think it's the cardomum that does it for me. Anyway, I've been buying it ever since despite the price. I tend to use more than the recommended amount because I like my teas strong, and it's worth every penny I spend on it. I sometimes mix it with Honeybush Vanilla or Caramel Almond Amaretti if I am running short between deliveries (Tea on Time rocks!) and that's great too. Hope you'll try it!

          Comments about Teavana Spice of Life® White Tea:

          The real highlight of this tea is the aroma. Scent alone (dry or brewed) will compel you to open your wallet. The flavor though, doesn't pack the same punch. While not at all unpleasant, the taste is surprisingly mild...perhaps too mild for some. I find however, that it has a really nice finish and the flavor actually develops more after swallowed as it lingers during exhalation.

          Overall, I'd rate this as a good tea for the holidays or relaxing. It might also be nice iced. I wouldn't recommend it though for your "wake-up" brew or if you have a preference for bolder flavors.

            I have found myself purchasing this tea over and over again. It has one of teavana's most unique flavor profiles. This tea has a full, nutty, spicy, peppery flavor that manages to remain fresh and light all the same. The balance to this tea is just perfect. This is why I go back to this again and again. This is my quintessential cold weather go-to tea, yet it was equally divine iced this summer. I hope and pray teavana never discontinues this tea. My opinion is that this has a classic, timeless appeal and flavor.

            This is the perfect blend of citrus, nuts with just a hint of spices. Chai is not my thing, so a hint of spice is perfect. If you are looking for strong spicy tea, this is not for you. If you are looking for a delicate hint of flavor, then this is a winner. Will buy this over and over.
