Champagne Tea!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I keep a tea diary of all the new teas I try and I bought this tea to be my 100th entry. It is so fun and unique that it is a champagne tea. My thoughts on the tea itself: It is very subtle, in a lovely way. So light that it seems more like a green tea than a black (not bad). It comes out more floral than fruity. And the essence of champagne is gorgeous. This is indeed a special tea! I had a special tea party to mark the occasion and my friends all tried it as well. My friends reiterate the lighter tea taste and the floral notes, my husband added white chocolate notes. I rate all my teas out of 5 and this was a 4 for me = great. But I wanted to give it a 5 in this review because I was so pleased with my purchase, I'm delighted that this tea exists, it made my 100th tea tasting so special, and I really did like the tea!

Koolaide- Too much Grape
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

Unfortunately for me, this tea was not my cup. The overwhelming grape flavor profile left me in memory lane of grape soda/koolaide, and a slight film effect left in the mouth. Heavy on the grape flavor, watch out.

Very Special Tea

It makes me happy
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I tend to stick to tea bags, but I wanted to try something new. 20th Anniversary Celebration Tea did not disappoint. It has a light fruity and floral taste as described. It is different enough from my tried and true Rose Petal Black tea with grape and vanilla flavors. I imagine if you like the Rose Petal tea, you would enjoy the Celebration Tea. Visually, the cornflower petals contrast with the tea leaves which just make me happy as I make my cup of tea.

This is truly one of my favorites
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I initially purchased this tea when it was Republic of Tea's Anniversary tea and fell in love. I'm generally an Earl Grey person first thing in the morning, but this is my second and sometimes third cup of the day. It's smooth, it's balanced, it is still delicious if technically over-steeped. Treat yourself to a great cuppa. This tea is one of my go-to presents for tea appreciators and I have never gotten a complaint. Simply love it.

One of my favorites
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've been buying this by the tin for years, because I'd never seen a refill option. I now have enough tins to build an addition onto my house. Then I realized they offer it in a bulk bag, which is not only more ecological, but economical, especially considering how much of it I drink. It's a mild tea, with very subtle flavors. Even my sister likes it and she's not fond of black teas. I usually drink it iced but it's good hot, on a cold morning (and it smells heavenly).

Tried to love it
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I like just about everything I have ever tried from the Republic of Tea. This one, however, just did not do it for me. It was almost like there was an overwhelming amount of different flavors that, for me, just did not go well together. It overwhelmed the flavor of the tea itself. My brother in law didn't care for it too much either, and he loves just about any type of tea (and our tastes aren't that often in agreement either).

Recently used your teas at an Afternoon Tea fund raising event. I served Celebration and BlackBerry Sage. Guests were very impressed with the teas. I recently purchased Blueberry Lavender and it is great. The reason I like your teas is the variety available and the flavors, which are subtle. Customer service is great.

Subtle, not "weak"
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Despite the heavy nay-say, I decided to take a chance and order this tea. I straight love it. Yes, it isn't a punch in the taste buds, it's flavor is subtle and sinuous, curling over the tongue leaving behind a surprising variety of immediately identifiable tastes. Ah, there's the wine grapes, oh my, there goes the floral notes; is that what tea blossoms taste like? Lovely. And it's all swirling through with the least bitter black tea flavor that I've ever known. Also, if you steep it overnight, it's a delicious iced sweet tea. The flavors mature and meld. Delightful. But use less sugar if you do it that way.

Nice tea
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I like the Celebration, not quite as much as I do the Ginger Peach, but I won't turn a cup of this stuff down ever. It seems to be a bit finicky for beginners in the tea-steeping, loose-leaf world. It's great as long as you are careful with your measurements and time. I went over with one of the two when I was making tea while multitasking and it kind of punched me in the face a bit, but keep in mind that I don't like for my tea to be very strong. Oh! I don't know why finding the little raisins in there made me giggle, but it did and I felt it was worth mentioning.

Just ok
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

Reading the reviews I have heard so many people complaining how strong and synthetic it is and overly floral, but to me the tea is actually rather bland. I got a nice unopened jar that expires in 2022, so it's fresh. The smell is wonderful and the tea is very smooth no bitterness at all but I really don't get all the hype. I use my usual heaping teaspoon per cup and it just doesn't have much flavor. There is a slight floral and grape taste but makes me wonder what everyone else here is drinking because It isn't what I have. It is an ok tea overall, nothing wrong with it just not the flavor bomb all the reviewers made it out to be.

The champagne of teas
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've always loved champagne, so I was very excited to order this tea. Opening the tin, the first thing you notice is how absolutely beautiful it is. The contrast of the black tea leaves, swirled in with stunning blue and white petals. Then you catch the intoxicating floral and fruity notes. But this is no ordinary fruit tea... It doesn't actually taste like grape. Rather, it's more of a clean, naturally sweet black tea with an incredible friuty/grapey finish. For me, 1 tbls of tea in an 800ml tetsubin (steeped about 5 minutes each) will make three full pots before it becomes too weak (for me anyway lol). This is a phenomenal tea (especially for the price!), and it's sweet and delicious by itself, or with milk or creamer added. I'm on my second tin, and I'm definitely hooked!

A tea to be savored
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Black tea is my breakfast drink. Most mornings I don't have time to sit down for breakfast so I brew up one of my blacks to go with a portable breakfast, rotating through the list. Except for one. The Celebration tea is ONLY for when I DO have the time for a sit-down breakfast. It is too good for on-the-go. Only when I have time to savor the subtle flavors contained in this exquisite blend do I select this for my morning cuppa. It definitely deserves to be savored.

I drink over 2 L of brewed loose tea every day, and while I tend to favor oolongs and single-source whites, I keep coming back to the sweet comfort of this tea. Given that the flavoring can cover a multitude of sins, I very much wish that you offered this in a decaffeinated tea! I find that the flavor is perfect for the evening, but I'm too sensitive to caffeine to drink it then.

At first I found this Celebration Tea quite bitter, but when I reduced the water temperature to 200° and brewed less tea in eight ounces of water, what a delight!

I drink mostly red teas. Thought this celebration tea would be fun with the flowers and all--but a bit too much bouquet. I drink most of my tea as room temperature "ice" tea.

I certainly hope you never discontinue this one!

I received this tea as a gift last year & since have made many pots on a cold winter afternoon. I used my coffee press to brew the tea.

This tea is good, but I will likely not reorder it. It definitely has a distinctive floral, almost soapy note. Once you add sweetener, it seems to cut the floral taste a bit. It's VERY strong smelling in the can, almost like grape Kool Aid! It's a nice blend but likely not a reorder for me.

How can you not love this!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

If you did not like this tea the first time you brewed it, you likely steeped it too long. It's fragile but complex and if you don't oversteep, no more than 3 minutes, it's magnificent in both aroma and flavor. It does, however, get bitter quickly if it's allowed to soak, so don't. I have gone through 3 cans of it and will order more.

A fruit tea unlike any other fruit tea I've ever had. It seems crude to call it "grape tea" but that's essentially the effect, and it works incredibly well. There's a fantastic and complex balance here of a delicious sweet wine grapiness, a smooth black ceylon base, and light floral notes to balance it all out. I'm glad this is no longer being listed as "limited edition" because my family and I would hate to see it disappear!

This tea is my very favorite, and have re-ordered after I tasted I once. I tried Comfort and Joy tea, Tea of Great Tidings, Spiced Plum, Orange Blossom tea and the Celebration of Tea. All wonderful, but this one and Tidings of great Joy are my favorites. The Orange Blossom tea is a bit too subtle for me, as I like full flavor. Wish these others came in bags, but I do the teapot thing and it is very tasty. I will want this when mine gets all. Should have it all year around. And certainly keep making the 20th Celebration Tea!!!

I like fruity teas, in general, but this one has an overpowering scent and flavor of grape, and not in a good way. It reminded me of grape-flavored Kool Aid or Jello. I am trying to use it up by diluting it with plain black or green tea, but will not be ordering it again.

I love this tea so much, I ordered a dozen tins. Wish it came in larger quantities. It has a very different flavor, very light, but not weak. Excellent!

Not My Cup of Tea
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I was expecting layers of balanced flavor as is usual with Republic's flavored teas. All I could taste was the perfume of the flowers, not the tea.

Definitely a celebration
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

From the very beginning upon opening the container you are gifted with the wonderful aroma of the dry tea. Then while it is brewing you inhale the beautiful scents of warming memories of fruit and blossoms and when you finally begin to drink this amazing blend, your taste buds carry you away to a land of wonderful dreams.

keep this one as a regular
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I ordered a couple of tins earlier this year. Such a pleasure to drink it. I liked it so well that I was pleased to see it still available and hope it will be a regular offering. It's just delicious whether I drink a mug of it in the morning instead of my one mug of...please forgive...coffee per day, or I drink it later in the day into the evening. It's fun trying to figure out which of the various flavors in this tea I'm picking up and when it's all done, I just plain like it.

Amazing
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea smells and tastes wonderful. It's heady, rich, and really just gets the job done. I'm now on my 4th tin, and each time I see it in the store I panic a little that it's may only be available for a limited time. It's the my favorite of all the teas I've ever tasted. Very special.

Tea is smooth, but added essence is unsavory, it almost seems to taste of rubber. I would strongly recommend the Earl Greyer or All Day Breakfast, but this tea doesn't suit my tastes at all.

Vexing, but good
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

A good tea with a natural creaminess. Very smooth, even for a black tea. I find it really is a celebration tea, and while it's enjoyable, I can't drink more than a cup at a time, and usually not in the same week. That's not to say it's a bad tea, it's just very different.

Just received this tea in the mail about 15 minutes ago, along with the Wild Blueberry and the Goji Raspberry Green Tea.. The Celebration is my favorite of all of the teas i've tried so far. I'm a new tea lover, and this is perfect! I am excited about trying the Blueberry!! Will buy more.. hope they keep this one for good!!

this is my favorite of all teas...and that's saying something! Not only does it have a very delicate, mouth-pleasing flavor, but it smells wonderful too. So if you don't want to actually drink a cup, one sniff of its delicious scents is like aromatherapy - good for your soul! I highly recommend this tea.

20th Anniversary Tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea has a lovely bouquet and taste and goes every so well with toasted English muffins spread with Greengage jam from England. Makes a lovely breakfast, mid-afternoon or bedtime snack. I enjoyed my first tin so well, I have ordered two more, even though I have quite a number of tins from The Republic of Tea. I hope this continues to be a favorite of customers and will continue to be made available on a regular basis. The people who developed this did an amazing job. Thanks again! Mikki

I'm the president of New Mexico Tech's very own Tea club. The biggest club here on campus. This tea has been one of our best editions. People love it, and always come back for more. We hope it becomes a permanent edition, so we can keep it in stalk.

My new favorite!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This was delivered this morning and I'm just finishing my second large mug. This tea is absolutely divine! When I opened the tin I knew I was in love. It smells very strong of the grapes when opened and while brewing, but once brewed, the grape taste is not overpowering. It is a pleasant, fruity cup, with subtle floral undertones. Not overly floral, just perfect. I personally love fruit teas and this is now my new favorite! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this a regular offering!!! It is much too wonderful to only make it once!! :)

This is the most amazing tea I have ever tasted! What a unique blend of flavors and aromas! Just sipping it is a vacation in itself. I do hope that you will keep offering this, it is just too good to limit. What will we do when it's gone? You must keep such a good tea as I am sure it is a creation of "tea art".

Lovely Cuppa
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Lovely tea. The aroma of floral and white grapes is strong at first, while steeping. I can get a slight whiff even a few feet away. It does not linger once the tea leaves have been removed from steeping. It is light, clear, fresh taste and I would hope that this tea is going to be available as a regular item to buy. I have a large selection of teas from Republic of Tea and enjoy all of them, depending upon my mood. I would like to see a blackberry tea without any sage! While I like the combination, I would like to be able to choose just blackberry.

Light and interesting
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I was interested in trying this tea when I saw it in the catalog. I think it is a really complex blend. The grape flavor is not overpowering and the floral notes compliment the ceylon flavor. If you do not like floral teas, this may not be up your alley. The after-taste has just a hint of champagne. I love this blend and will definitely order more.

Can't be without this!!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is by far the best tea I have ever tried. For years I have been making a cup of Republic Tea before bedtime. I have a whole cabinet in my kitchen of about 20 different flavors. Now, this is the only one that I reach for. A very complex tasting tea. It really does taste like a mixture of tea, wine, champagne, fruit and flowers. Perfect cup of tea. Must order more to last me thru the rest of the year!!

It's not you, it's me
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I really, really, really wanted to like this tea. I opened the tin and was met with a very 'grapey' aroma, almost like white grape juice concentrate. When brewed, the liquor is very light in color (again, reminiscent of white grape juice), and the taste was just too much like grape juice and flowers. I do not detect any black tea flavor, which is disappointing, since I found this in the black tea category. It's just not to my taste.

I can't believe how delightful this celebration tea is. I have been sipping cup after cup. It is such a uniquely beautiful fragrance and flavor. It is truly worthy of selecting this tea blend to celebrate 20 years of bringing us 1 wonderful tea after another. I must order more immediately.

I have a small shop No Worries Be Happy in the Blue Moon Gift Shops here. I like to taste the tea I am selling. I tend to personally like floral and fruitty teas. This tea to me is truly wonderful! The sweet, fruitty and floral fragrance is amazing. I like seeing the champaigne grapes and camellia tea flowers among the leaves and petals, too. Many thanks! ~Julie
