Teavivre Tea For Life (review)

Tea has been around for hundreds of years and probably one of the most popular drinks around the world. I love trying new and/or different teas then the usual English Tea. Teavivre make a variety of different flavors that they ship around the world.

This is the second time they have sent me tea to review and I was just as impressed this time, as I was last time.

Superfine Taiwan Moderately-Roasted Dong Ding Oolong Tea is a very rich tea with lots of flavor. It too has a subtle sweet taste that is great for a morning cuppa!

Superfine Taiwan Qing Xiang Dong Ding Oolong Tea this tea is similar to the above, the obvious difference as the above is roasted. It is a popular tea, most likely due to the sweet mellow taste.

Taiwan High Mountain Oolong Tea is a great tea for first time drinkers of Taiwan oolong tea. It has a flowery fragrant, but a very sweet taste.

Taiwan Monkey Picked - Ma Liu Mie - Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea has a smooth fruity flavor with a hint of honey. It is called “monkey picked” because a legend says that the cliff where oolong tea leaves grows can be too abrupt and so a monkey is trained to climb the cliff and pick the precious leaves. A soft fire bakes the leaves in about 6 minutes; it is what gives this tea its distinct flavor.

Anxi Monkey King – Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea is low in caffeine so a great evening or bedtime tea. This tea smells amazing! It is also a very smooth tea, with a sweet aftertaste.

Tea for Me

Before I moved to the UK I didn't drink much tea. In fact I didn't drink many hot drinks I preferred iced drinks really.

Even though I do prefer iced teas and coffees, when I come in soaked from another rainy day a cup of tea really does hit the spot.

I have always preferred fruity or herbal teas. Teavivre sent me a variety of to try out!

Here is the list of teas they sent me and a short reaction to each:

Unbridled Love Fruit Tea (Iced) – The fruit used in this tea are apple, roselle, orange peel and grapes. The orange peel is the strongest flavor which was very refreshing and made a great iced tea!

Blueberry Fruit Tea (Iced) – it was blueberry! Probably my favorite tea out of the samples I tried. I tried this one hot and cold and liked it both ways!

Organic Superfine Dragon Well Long Jing Green Tea – I like a good cup of green tea in the mornings and this one had a very “green” or herbal smell a great tea to wake up too!

Jasmine “Dragon Pearls” Green Tea – This was a gorgeous smelling tea and had a great taste another one I really enjoyed first thing in the morning!

Strawberry Oolong Tea – This tea had an absolutely amazing smell! However it was my least favorite tea of the selection I had tasted. I wonder if I was expecting it to taste as it smelt and it was just not as strong as the smell.

Superfine Taiwan Ali Shan Oolong Tea – it was a very smooth and mild flavored tea, which was great as an afternoon tea. 

All of them had amazing flavors and were really refreshing! I of course had my favorites, but everyone has their own tastes so I would suggest trying these or different ones!

All these teas and many more can be found on the Teavivre website! There is also a lot more in depth information on the website. Each tea description is very well detailed and gives you the best temperature for brewing each tea. Which I thought was great!
