Tea flavors come from a variety of different combinations of tea leaves and and add-ins.

Flavor Name Tastes
Apple Tea As you experimentally sip the tea, memories of freshly sliced apples are heralded to the forefront of your mind, flooding your senses with a taste and scent both crisp and sweet.
With a sweet and mellow taste, the apple tea warms you to the core and melds seamlessly with the flavor of the black tea.
Orange Tea A bitter twinge of citrus lingers in the background of the tea, subtly masked by a honeyed hint of orange flavoring.
The scent of the tea, warm and distinctly citrus, precedes the actual flavor in a warm breath of steam.
Peach Tea (i) The dusky taste of the tea itself tames the sweet peachy flavor that rides in the forefront.
If not for the dry quality of the black tea, the accompanying peach flavoring would be overwhelmingly sweet.
Cranberry Tea Tart and rich, a twang of cranberry enlivens the taste of the tea.
Getting a whiff cranberry from the tea's rising steam doesn't prepare you for the fruit's sharp zest.
Blackberry Tea The full-bodied taste of the tea is enhanced by a hint of blackberry, which is just sweet enough to keep the bitterness at bay.
The scent of blackberries teases your sense of smell as the tea rolls over your tongue, its taste less sugary than the aroma of the berry implied.
Raspberry Tea The scent of raspberry rising from the tea has a fresh tenor reminiscent of warm summer days.
A roiling mixture of sweet and tart compliment the flavor of this light-bodied tea in a splash of raspberry zest.
Spearmint Tea In a mild base of white tea, the refreshing flavor of spearmint is a relaxing indulgence.
With a hint of chamomile lingering in the background, the refreshingly minty flavor of this tea is soothing.
Peppermint Tea The cleansing essence of peppermint has been infused into this light-bodied tea, creating a refreshing experience for the palate.
A warm peppermint-scented breath rises from the tea, pale in color and rejuvenating in taste.
Plum Tea With a smoky flavor sweetened by an infusion of red plum, this tea has a warm, autumnal aroma.
Highlighted by hints of clove and nutmeg, the sweet scent of plum rises from the tea, and the flavor suffuses your senses with thoughts of the harvest and falling leaves.
Lemon Tea The inviting fragrance of lemon rushes from the tea on a cloud of steam, preceding the mellow flavor of this black tea.
Just a hint of bitterness lurks in the background of the tea's lemony flavor, like a fruit cut too close to the pith.
Strawberry Tea With just a smattering of cinnamon to even out the cloying flavor of strawberry, this tea is exquisitely mild and flavorful.
Aromatic with hints of strawberry and cinnamon, the dusky flavor of this tea is all but lost behind the sweet and spice.
Loganberry Tea The sweetness of blackberry and the tartness of raspberry merge in this loganberry tea to create an aromatic blend that is mellow and full-bodied.
With a dark reddish tint, the murky loganberry tea has a distinctive aroma echoed in its peculiar taste.
Peach Tea (ii) The sweet taste of peaches rolls over your tongue, its strong flavor enough to evoke the image of orchards filled with the sweet fruit.
Green and white tea blends together, with a light glaze of cinnamon added in for spice. An almost tart zest hides behind the overall pale taste of fresh, honeyed peaches, creating an overall light and refreshing flavor.
