What our Citizens are saying about this great gift of the leaf...

3 Stars	Not my cuppa	September 14, 2012
Tracey North Haven, CT	I agree with the other reviewer who said it was a bit too spicy - not sure what it was that I didn't like (nutmeg? cardamom?) but I'm glad I only sprang for a trial size. The can is cute, though.

4 Stars	Yummy and Spicy	August 31, 2012
LP Princeton, NJ	Yummy and spicy. Great with a bit of rock sugar and almond milk. VERY peppery so if you don't like that kind of spice, try the Rainforest Tea-it's very similar but lacks the zing.

5 Stars	Great Partner	August 23, 2012
Linda Overland Park, KS	This is a great partner to the Merchant's Green Chai. I mix two parts green chai to one part red chai, and it is delicious!!

5 Stars	a little much at first, but good till the end	April 17, 2012
Heather ,	My friend got this for me for my birthday along with a tea press mug, and at first I didn't know how to use it, or drink it. I like tea, but I don't like coffee. Something just doesn't taste as good about coffee. But when I tried this, it was shocking how powerful it was! It is spicy, but it is not intollerable. The flavor is amazing when brewed at about 7-8 minutes. I have gotten used to it within the last day or so, and I now LOVE it. It is very relaxing and I for a girl who likes spice, but also love sweetness, drinking this hot any time of the day hits the spot! WONDERFUL! :D

3 Stars	Good but VERY spicy	January 25, 2012
Michelle San Francisco, CA	Good flavor but very very spicy, almost too spicy, leaving a slow burn like after taste in my mouth and stomach...thank goodness they offer the trial tester size, if unsure this size is your best bet!!
