Questions about Davidson's Tea Rooibos Spiced Chai, 100-Count Tea Bags
Q:
Are the tea bags packaged separately with their own paper to tear off before steeping?
Answer: No. All tea bags are placed in a zipped plastic bag.
Answer: No, thankfully. All of the bags are in a large zip lock. Makes it so easy and trouble free. Love this tea!
Answer: No. These are loose, tagless teabags packaged in a large zip top bag.
Answer: No, they are packed in bulk in a large zip-lock bag.
Q:
How many ounces?
Answer: If you are asking about the whole box, I don't know how many ounces: it's got 100 tea bags, but it is not heavy to ship or store. Each tea bag - I still don't know - I usually make about 8 ounces of tea with each bag. They look pretty standard to me. I do not use them twice. Inside the box the tea bags are in a ziplock bag. I recycle the box and just use the bag - it's sturdy. BTW the tea bags do not have strings or individual wrappings. I like them that way, as we compost or recycle everything here.
Answer: 5.29 ozs for 100 tea bags, but each tea bag contains tea which goes longer. One can brew one bag and combine with a new bag for a second cup, and then combine the two used bags for a good third cup.
Answer: 5.29 oz.(150g) 100 unwrapped teabags in a plastic ziplock for freshness. I love this tea. My husband and I have a cup almost every night with a little manuka honey.
Answer: Net weight for 100 tea bags is 5.99 oz
Answer: Net weight is 5.29 oz
Answer: Around 16
Q:
Are the teabags unbleached?
Answer: I think by definition organic means unbleached bags. But.. the bags are white so I don't know for sure. I guess they make white unbleached bags.
Answer: The box on mine says they are oxygen bleached. It is my understanding that this means there is no chlorine bleach.
Q:
Where is the spearmint grown?
Answer: This is printed on the tea box, "Certified Organic By the Nevada Department of Agriculture". The tea website is: www.davidsonstea.com.
Q:
Wondering about the strength of the apricot tea? Anyone have any experience with the apricot flavor?
Q:
Is this green tea? Where can I get decaffeinated organic green tea?
Q:
Why is there an overlapping of questions about peppermint and hibiscus? Should this page be only about peppermint
Q:
Are any of your "white teas" steamed whatsoever, and what is the highest temperature the tea is heated to? i'm looking for non-steamed white teas.
Q:
Is this actual yerba mate, or just "yerba mate flavored"?
Q:
Does this tea have green tea in it? I.e. Is this jasmine scented tea or jasmine tea?
Answer: Sorry, did not buy jasmine. Bought WILD STRAWBERRY which is black tea. Go online to Davidson's Tea website. It will tell you.
Q:
I saw that licorice root is an ingredient. Does this tea have a detectable licorice flavor to it?
Q:
What is the expiration date for this item?
Answer: Being an old country boy, we lived by the rule keep product in a tightly sealed container in a cool dry place it should last as long as you like. But once you start drinking this tea it may not last as long as you like to. Do expiration dates really matter on some products anyways?
Answer: My box says March 18th 2015 and I got it months ago.
Answer: Sept 25 2014
Q:
Does the Decaf Strawberry tea have any sweetener or sugars in it? I prefer unsweetened and looking for the scent, and not a sweet juice type drink.
Q:
Is there a reason why this particular flavor isn't available as Subscribe & Save? My dad's doing chemo & I'd like to be abe to order this regularly.
Q:
Has anyone tried the White Peach flavor? Is it good?
Answer: Yes, it's really good. I used to own a tea shop and my customers loved it.
Q:
Why is this tea called Meyer Lemon.. when there isn't any lemon in it at all? I'm so confused.
Answer: It must have lemon flavoring in it because it tastes like lemon. This is a great night time tea -full of flavor and no caffeine.
Answer: It is lemon flavored. I really liked it. It has been awhile since I drank it. I drink tea in the winter. I bought more of it. I believe it has a honey lemon flavor.
Answer: It comes from something called "citral," a molecular compound that gives lemons their fresh citrus smell. One of the ingredients is organic lemon myrtle which contains about 20 times more citral than a lemon.
Answer: There is lemon in the tea. Meyer lemon is a particular kind of lemon. This is a good tea worth trying.
Answer: I don't know why they call it Meyer Lemon. I can't taste any lemon in it. I like the slight honey taste so I drink it all the time. I had tasted it at a friends home before I bought it so I knew how it tasted. I would have been disappointed if I bought it thinking it was going to taste lemony. This is a question you must ask Davidsons Tea Co.
Answer: I'd have to assume it is because it tastes like it. Kind of like "cherry" Laffy Taffy. Clearly there isn't any actual cherry in it, but still just as delicious!
Q:
I’m confused - looking for plain decaf green, tea, but the color says “decaf vanilla” but the ingredients only says decaf green.Is it vanilla or not?
Q:
What is the "natural flavor" in this tea? Just chemicals?
Answer: No chemicals I believe it has nectar in it
Q:
I selected decaf vanilla but decaf green shows; which is this please?
Answer: what you picked is what youll get,if unsure check your invoice it'll tell you what will be sent,I always get Spearmint and thats what always comes never had an issue
Q:
is this a cleansing tea?
Q:
what is vanilla essence? Is it pure vanilla or vanillin flavor?
Answer:
Answer:
Q:
I know this is probably hard to do, but what does Tulsi tea taste like? Is it mild like the White Tea I am currently drinking?
Answer: Tulsi, also known as holy basil, can be a strong taste. It actually can have a bitter, astringent taste (but in a good way :) though it may be flavored with other stuff, tumeruc , ginger. It is supposed to aid digestion and detox.
Answer: It is mild and has the most unique taste I've experienced. It's got just a hint of sweet (Raspberry @ Caramel) and then you taste a pastry ... it's the craziest thing!!! So delicious
Answer: I can't help you. The tea was for someone else.
Q:
is this product from Taiwan/Formosa or from mainland China?
Q:
If this Tea is unwrapped and not separate bags how does it stay Fresh?
Answer: It is in separate tea bags which come in one big ziplock type bag which keeps it fresh. I was also initially concerned but absolutely no issues with it. Hope this helps.
Answer: Hi Crystal, The company packs all of the tea bags in a large Ziploc bag. I take out ten bags at a time and keep them in a sealed container at work. Then I squeeze the air out of the Ziploc bag and reseal it. Hope that helps!
Answer: It comes with a big bag inside the box to hold the teas.
Answer: I place about 2 weeks supply in a Ziploc bag.
Answer: I put it in a sealed glass jar
Q:
What are the ingredients for the jasmine flower tea?
Answer: Scroll down to the ingredients list. All items are listed.
Q:
do they use chemicals to decaffeinate?
Answer: I've only bought their White peach flavored tea, which is very subtle & nice. So I googled the tea you're interested in and it is decaffeinated with the CO2 process, or effervescence, so I believe that should be fine.
Answer:
Answer:
Q:
What specifically are the " natural flavors " in Davidson Rooibos chai?
Q:
Is this tea packaged any other way? The ziplock looks dicey. Could be tampered with
Answer: the ziplock comes inside a box that is sealed with plastic wrap
Answer: We’ve bought a lot and it all comes that way, but it’s still delicious and no issues so far.
Q:
Where is this green tea grown?
Answer: Here is a page on the Davidson website that talks about where they buy their tea. http://www.davidsonstea.com/our-product-integrity.aspx
Q:
are the bags bleached? Thanks
Answer: According to the Davidson's website: "Our filter tea bags are FDA and USDA NOP approved oxygen bleached (no chemicals are used to treat/sanitize the filter bag) and even bio-degradable and compostable." Hope this helps.
Answer: Sorry, not sure about the bleaching, but they were excellent tea bags
Q:
Is it normal that the ziploc bag appears to have a lot of green powder in it?
Answer: my tea from Davidson's sometimes has fine powder inside the bag . . . I believe that is simply tea that is crushed very fine and filters through the paper of the tea bags.
Answer: My ziplock bag has no green power in it. Does the green powder in your bag match the contents of a tea bag when you break one open?
Answer: I don't remember the bag having a lot of powdered tea in it. The last time I purchased the Davidson spearmint tea bags was about a year ago. I now buy spearmint tea as loose tea (a bag of it has lasted more than a year & is much cheaper than buying tea bags).
Answer: Mine did not have loose green powder in the ziploc.
Answer: There was some loose in the bad but not a lot. Perhaps one of the bags burst!!
Answer: Yes, mine arrived that way too. It's just the finest of the spearmint pieces that fall out of the bags (the bags are still intact, there is just some tea so pulverized it can fit through the micro-holes in the teabags). It's delicious tea though!
Answer: Yes. I've ordered this about 5 times and it always has the powder residue.
Answer: I see no record of having bought this product. Sorry.
Q:
How much spearmint is in the "spearmint orange spice" compared to the regular "spearmint leaves" ?
Answer: Ii ordered gun metal black tea first and it was excellent. The spearmint was nice but did not overwhelm the orange.
Answer: Hard to answer since taste is so subjective. I have had both teas. The orange spice is quite evident to me with a hint of spearmint but orange spice tends to dominate almost anything in my opinion. Davidson's flavored teas are not overwhelming and that's why I drink them so I wouldn't be too concerned. They have the smaller sample packs if you want to try that flavor before buying. Personally, I usually just buy these flavors separately because I like spearmint by itself and then I can always add another flavor bag (lemon, orange spice) to it if I choose. Hope that helps.
Q:
Net weight of tea, please.
Answer: Others have stated the net weight is 5.29 oz. The standard weight for tea bags is 2 grams which would make the net weight about 7 oz for 100 bags.
Answer: I buy a different tea (South African Rooibos) from Davidson's, but I can tell you mine, 100-count tea bags, which is packaged in a box that looks exactly the one shown, weighs 5.29 oz (150G). I wouldn't think there would be that much difference in the weight of various teas, packaged in the same way, in the same facility. I hope that helps answer your question.
Answer: This tea was soooo much weaker in flavor than the individually packaged type. Didn't keep the original packaging. I will never order this again.
Answer: I have only tried the spearmint but it is 4.58 oz. for 100 tea bags. Maybe Darjeeling is similar.
Q:
What are the ingredients for the jasmine flower tea?
Answer: Scroll down to the ingredients list. All items are listed.
Q:
Assorted flavors
Answer: I do not buy this particular box. I buy Davidson's Rooibus tea and I love it. The box I get is only one "flavor".
Answer: I received only one flavor.
Answer: I only know of spearmint and oblong teas from this brand which I use to help maintain my pcos and diabetes.
Q:
Is this wheat/gluten free?
Answer: Gluten is a general name for the proteins found in wheat (wheatberries, durum, emmer, semolina, spelt, farina, farro, graham, KAMUT® khorasan wheat and einkorn), rye, barley and triticale – a cross between wheat and rye. This is tea. Not wheat.
Answer: The ingredient list says organic black tea. That's it!
Q:
What is the natural flavor used? Is it actually apple? I ask because I can't have fruit.
Answer: Sorry. I can't help you on this one. The only Davidson's tea I've ever used is South African Rooibus.
Q:
Is tea made from cherries or jusy cherry flavored?
Answer: It is a cherry flavored herbal tea. The list of ingredients is (* organic): Barley*, chicory*, chamomile*, carob*, rooibos* and natural flavor.
Answer: This is what the label on the box says regarding ingredients - barley, chicory, chamomile, carob, rooibos and natural flavors. Caffeine-free. Organic - this is Cherries Jubilee tea. Hope this helps with your question.
Q:
How many carbs and sugar in each bag?
Answer: I never put in sugar.
Answer: Zero. It's 100% spearmint leaves.
Q:
What is in the davidson's tea children tea? all i can find is that it is herbal and rosy red in the cup.
Answer: I hate it when Amazon adds reviews for one product onto the page of a different product. This is not the Davidson's tea I purchased and cannot answer this question.
Answer: Bought this brand of tea for Mother In Law, one I bought was mango flavored and she said it was very good. They have different flavors from what I remember. They may have an area for questions.
Answer: I didn't realize they had this product. It might be the fact that it has no caffeine and is organic but that's only a guess. Sound's like a question for the seller to me.
Q:
Is the rooibos chai blend caffeine free?
Answer: It states in the description that that this tea is decaffeinated.
Q:
Is this tea red in color?
Answer: Regular tea color - red, brown, something like that
Answer: more of a rusty amber color.

Answer: Yes 100 bags, very nice equality.
Answer: Yes it is and it is very good!
Q:
Is the dragon well really pure? Tastes like it has citron or something added?
Answer: This is not Lonjing tea. Russian Caravan is a blend of several types of Chinese black teas which include a smoke dried tea, which gives it the smokey flavor. If you are tasting citrus, you may be tasting pine from the wood.
Q:
Are these tea bags unbleached?
Answer: Not exactly.Davidson's uses oxygen bleached tea bags.Hope this helps.
Answer: Not exactly .Davidson's uses oxygen bleached tea bag paper tea bags.
Answer: Oxygen bleached. No chemicals. They answer this question in depth on the Davidson website.

Answer: Ingredient list
Q:
What are the origin of the white tea bags? China?
Answer: In the ground
Q:
Is this product gluten free?
Answer: The box states Organic and Kosher. Ingredients are white tea and natural flavor. So it would seem gluten free but thats not on the box. Davidson’s phone number is 800-882-5888, I suggest calling them directly for info.
Answer: Tea is leaves from plants and gluten can only get into tea if it is manufactured in a plant that process grains. I would not worry about this tea.
Answer: Sorry, I don't know. I gave it as a gift and wasn't looking for that feature.
Answer: I don't know.I would ask Davidson.
Answer: Yes
Q:
What kind of ginseng dose it have like what type of it?
Answer: I don't know anything about the ginseng; sorry...
Product reviews of Davidson's Tea Rooibos Spiced Chai, 100-Count Tea Bags
JFC : Good price and packaging, but tea doesn't have enough flavor as iced tea
Maybe it's just me... But over the past few months, I've tried several different varieties of the Davidson's herbal or decaf teas... looking for a variety that would do well when brewed for drinking as ice tea. Unfortunately, I've yet to find any variety that has much of a flavor taste other than...plain tea.
In contrast, brew a couple bags of Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice tea and serve it up as iced tea, and you'll get a really flavorful drink that begs you to drink more. Unfortunately, AFAIK, Celestial Seasons doesn't sell its teas in the bulk packaging like Davidson's, but only in the bulkier 6 regular retail boxes size.
If I wanted just regular unflavored iced tea, I'd buy bulk Lipton's or something like that. But I wanted a FLAVORED tea instead of drinking sodas or other sugary drinks, and Davidson's just isn't making it for my taste. I can't taste any particular spiced chai flavor in this tea, and it was pretty much the same with the other flavored varieties from Davidson's that I've tried.
Revjoy : Satisfying and refreshing spearmint tea
It is difficult to find spearmint tea so I was pleased to have this option. These tea bags make a refreshing and flavor cup of tea. I make a lot of iced tea and use several spearmint tea bags to brew my tea. These tea bags add a distinctive spearmint taste to my tea and I find it quite satisfying and refreshing. FYI, these tea bags come without a string attached making them more earth friendly and requiring less packaging.
C Michel : Something changed..
I have been buying Davidsons earl grey tea for some time now. I have always enjoyed the fact that it's a hearty earl grey and organic. The last box I bought not only does not smell like bergamot but the tea itself is very weak. I get only one cup of tea for a single bag when I used to be able to brew an entire pot with only two. The worst thing is when I open my tea tin there is no smell of bergamot wafting up to greet me. At the expense of this tea, which is spendy even when it's not separately wrapped and has no string, I will not be buying it again. I hope it was just a manufacturing problem but I am not sure how to know if it is.
T. Morgan : You’ll find nothing better, I’ve tried
Cherry is my favor fruit/flavor, but it seems to be one that is so difficult to find - anywhere. I first tried the smaller box, but came to reorder & found this bigger box - and had bigger joy. This tea is delicious!! I drink it hot, cold, & add 4 to 6 ounces to 20 oz of water to flavor it yummy. I’ve only had one bad cup, & that was due to my steeping it too long - 3 minutes is enough for my taste.
As long as they make it, I’ll be drinking it!!
Amazon Customer : Disappointed
I think FGO (not this brand) is the best spearmint tea available on Amazon. They were sold out so I tried this brand. The flavors just not as good. One bag doesn't seem as fresh or potent and it barely even has the spearmint tea scent. The packaging is fine. The bags aren't individually packaged they're in a ziplock-style plastic bag
cold kiwi : Great decaf English Breakfast
I have read complaints that this tea is packaged in a zip lock bag (inside the box) and I have read complaints that it isn't strong enough. Well I love strong tea, and I dislike most decaf teas, but I highly recommend this. I use three tea bags in one pot and it is great. A full robust taste without that hollow decaf taste. I also take my tea with milk so it has to be strong! As for the packaging - I love it because it saves me putting the tea in a ziplock. It stays fresh this way.
PS this is the same review I used for the decaf earl grey - which I also drink and highly recommend.
Rebecca A. : Love it
Bought these for me and my mom we are tea lovers and this is the only green tea I enjoy. It has a great taste. We counted them just for counting’s sake and we only counted 99. It could be user error but I do recommend everyone to count them just in case. I’ll continue to buy this tea for sure
K. Zavetsky : So fresh and flavorful!
I absolutely love this tea! I have desperately been trying to find a decaffeinated version of Earl grey that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I found this and was hesitant to try it because the price was so reasonable. There had to be something wrong with it, right? Wrong! I am so pleased to say that it is incredible! It is so fragrant, fresh, and full bodied. I will be buying this for as long as they are selling it!
pondscum : bitter and no strawberry taste
I've had good experiences with other flavors of Davidson's teas (the cherry vanilla is a particular favorite of mine), but this one is truly terrible. Maybe the decaffeination process is to blame, but it brews up very light and so overwhelmingly bitter that you can't taste either the underlying tea flavor or the strawberry. I've experimented with different brew times and I've found it nasty to drink no matter what.
There are too many other good teas I like to drink, so I'm tossing what's left of this one in the trash.
MDM : The flavor is great and the value is outstanding
Same woodsy flavor with a slight hint of cinnamon that the Numi organic tea provides, but at a fraction of the cost. It is hard for me to discern the difference in the taste of the two teas. The main difference is that the Numi has a string for dipping whereas these tea bags are just the bags themselves. They require a spoon for dipping and mixing. There are 100 single served bags. It takes about three or four minutes to steep. The flavor is great and the value is outstanding.
My husband and I started drinking this tea because of the purported health benefits. And we have noticed a slight tingle and increased of energy and better digestion with the consumption of 2 cups a day. The taste is mild and pleasant and does not require any additives or sweeteners. I will definitely be purchasing these again.
Dee : Mango Peach Ice Tea—Delish!
I found this tea somewhat by accident then searched for on Amazon and alas!! I wanted an herbal brewed iced tea for the summertime.
I made a large batch of sun tea using quite a few bags of the tulsi mango peach but also added a decaf black tea for depth.
Monkfruit sweetener (the golden) is the best sugar substitute if like me you are looking for a refreshing keto friendly drink.
Seriously the most amazing flavored iced tea—it turned out bomb ????!!
Calamity Jane : Not the same
I had ordered a small box directly from Davidson’s previously. The tea in this box was not as strong nor did it taste as good as the box I bought directly from them. Will not reorder.
pstood : Flavor changed
The flavor has totally changed, and I don’t care for the new version at all.
JoeH : Nothing Like the Bulk Tea Version
For years I've been drinking Sun, Moon, and Stars as bulk tea (i.e. using my own filter bags). I thought I'd try buying this tea pre-bagged as a convenience. The name's the same - but there is nothing about the flavor or content of the tea that is the same as the bulk tea with the same name! When I opened the package I got a hint of cinnamon. I'm allergic to cinnamon so I have to be careful and I had my wife smell it but she said she could smell it. Well, I've tried a couple of cups and there is definitely cinnamon in this.
Perhaps it was a mix up at the factory. I did receive a bag of bulk Sun, Moon, and Stars a year and a half ago that didn't actually contain the right product. It was obvious then because the product contained some kind of dried berry - clearly not what is in Sun, Moon, and Stars (jasmine, black, and green tea blend).
Looks like I'm going to have to find another vendor for that blend.
Jackie : Natural Tasting
Great taste, not bitter. Arrived on time. It looks a little odd when you open it, like they are in a regular zippy bag, but all is fine. In fact I like that better, more convenient when you don’t have to unwrap each bag. Good deal!
Mamalinde : Underwhelmed
I was looking for a replacement for Yogi Orange Clove tea, which is apparently a “seasonal” thing. This is not it. It has caffeine and is a perfectly acceptable tea but the orange and clove parts underwhelm.
Revjoy : Satisfying and refreshing spearmint tea
It is difficult to find spearmint tea so I was pleased to have this option. These tea bags make a refreshing and flavor cup of tea. I make a lot of iced tea and use several spearmint tea bags to brew my tea. These tea bags add a distinctive spearmint taste to my tea and I find it quite satisfying and refreshing. FYI, these tea bags come without a string attached making them more earth friendly and requiring less packaging.
Brian Smith : Not a great flavor
I am South African and am used to drinking Rooibos. This tea has been “modified” from everything that is natural to comply with their intentions of making sure that all the “tree-huggers” are happy that it just does not taste like the tea I have been drinking my entire life. I have tried drinking it three times with my other SA buddies, but no more… I can’t give it away to any of them either.

JFC : Good price and packaging, but tea doesn't have enough flavor as iced tea
Maybe it's just me... But over the past few months, I've tried several different varieties of the Davidson's herbal or decaf teas... looking for a variety that would do well when brewed for drinking as ice tea. Unfortunately, I've yet to find any variety that has much of a flavor taste other than...plain tea.
In contrast, brew a couple bags of Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice tea and serve it up as iced tea, and you'll get a really flavorful drink that begs you to drink more. Unfortunately, AFAIK, Celestial Seasons doesn't sell its teas in the bulk packaging like Davidson's, but only in the bulkier 6 regular retail boxes size.
If I wanted just regular unflavored iced tea, I'd buy bulk Lipton's or something like that. But I wanted a FLAVORED tea instead of drinking sodas or other sugary drinks, and Davidson's just isn't making it for my taste. I can't taste any particular spiced chai flavor in this tea, and it was pretty much the same with the other flavored varieties from Davidson's that I've tried.
Fur Kid Mom : Comfort in a Cup!!
I am in love with this tea! When I first opened the box, I was very upset as I had purchased the wrong tea! I was trying to buy Davidson's Pumpkin Spice and I had purchased Herbal Pumpkin. What's the difference? Quite a bit. One tea is made with black tea and the other is made with Rooibos. Also, one tea had licorice and the other doesn't. I do NOT like licorice and was very upset with myself for picking the wrong tea. While I do LIKE Rooibos I had not expected it not to be black tea. Oh well!
I decided to try it with the intent of having to give away the other 99 tea bags. So I steeped a bag for 4 minutes, added 2 packets of stevia and some sugar free pumpkin spice creamer and was pleasantly surprised! I can't even taste the licorice!
If I had to say anything negative about this tea is that the tea bag is flimsy and when I go to squeeze the tea bag (you really need to give it a squeeze as it is full of flavor you will miss out in going into your tea; really makes a difference in the taste) the bag usually comes apart at the seams or just explodes. I have to be very careful and tender with the bag and even then, it might still break open. Then I have to strain the tea or drink all of the little floating pieces.

Sherri L : It adds a great flavor to chamomile tea
I have ordered this 100 bag box twice. It is so reasonably priced. I find a spearmint tea better tasting than a peppermint. I enhance the sweetness of my chamomile tea by adding one spearmint bag per pot. The bags are not individually wrapped so they must be kept in an airtight container for freshness. It arrived four days after I'd ordered. I strongly recommend a spearmint to you for all of you peppermint lovers. Give it a try you love it.
PragmaticMama : Holy Basil tea is delicious
I love holy basil tea. Used to be at trader joe’s but no longer. This was flavorful, Maybe a little more pricey than trader joe’s. Comes in a ziplock basically, so perhaps they are making a big profit. Thing is - i love the tea and couldn’t find it. So supply and demand. Will i try to grow my own next year. Sure i will.
Mike : Caveat Emptor
If I could I would probably give it 3 1/2 stars. The tea has a great flavor, unfortunately it takes two or three tea bags to get it moderately strong. I am not a huge fan of overly strong tea and have never used more than one teabag before. The packaging also causes a small issue since the bags don’t have a string and they are basically presented loose in a zip lock bag - no individual packaging, makes it hard if you are trying to present guests with a selection of teas.
I think value wise even using 3 per cup it is a good value, but for sure should have a better description as I would never have experienced it to b packages this way.
Calamity Jane : Not the same
I had ordered a small box directly from Davidson’s previously. The tea in this box was not as strong nor did it taste as good as the box I bought directly from them. Will not reorder.
Amazon Customer : Chemical taste and small like bleach
Beware. This tea is undrinkable. Tastes and smells of a chemical similar to bleach. Extremely disappointed especially because these are not cheap. Unfortunately did not try until after return window closed.
MyTwoCents : This is my favorite Rooibos Chai tea.
This is my favorite Rooibos Chai tea. The tea bags themselves aren't filled very full and I have to use 2-3 to make a nice cup of tea 16-20oz. size (I like strong so maybe it's just me) A few years ago, I got angry about that and went looking for another tea to replace this one and I came back. Now, I use 2-3 bags but it's still a relatively good deal since there are 100 bags in here... it lasts me a good while before I need to buy more. They also offer this in a loose tea bag that is a good deal too, but I came back to these because it's too messy for me to deal with all that. I like that I can grab the bags and just toss them in the garbage. I tried the loose tea in a French tea press for a while but again... this way is just so much easier.
Brian Smith : Not a great flavor
I am South African and am used to drinking Rooibos. This tea has been “modified” from everything that is natural to comply with their intentions of making sure that all the “tree-huggers” are happy that it just does not taste like the tea I have been drinking my entire life. I have tried drinking it three times with my other SA buddies, but no more… I can’t give it away to any of them either.
Michelle : WEAK
I have been drinking this tea for several months, and it is a great value but the quiality is less than desired. At first I was scared to dring it because it came in a ziplock bag, making me question if it was tampered with or what kind of facility would package like that. But I turned to amazon reviewers and none of them got sick and they had the bags too. I usually put two tea bags in a cup of tea, and even then the strength of the tea is less than the other brands I have used before. I will not be getting this again, I got the tea for the heath benefits and I have noticed that it does help, but I will be swithing to another brand whose quality and strength I can trust.
Barbara : Good tea, lacking in fruit flavor
These are not bad. The flavor is just not strong enough for me. I make cold tea several times a week, usually using 10 to 12 tea bags. I must use 16 or more bags in order to get good flavor, still wishing for a little more tropical fruit flavor and a little less Green tea flavor. I can still drink the tea. It has a good taste. I just wish the fruit flavor was stronger.
Leda619 : WHAT HAPPENED?????
This was my absolute favorite tea and I have ordered this multiple times, but tonight I made a cup of tea from my recent order and it doesn't taste the same AT ALL! I had a couple of tea bags from my last batch and opened one and put another in hot water. I did the same with tea bags from my recent order....both sat in hot water the same amount of time. The old batch is obviously the red tea on the left, and the new batch is the weak one on the right. I won't be buying again.
JoeH : Nothing Like the Bulk Tea Version
For years I've been drinking Sun, Moon, and Stars as bulk tea (i.e. using my own filter bags). I thought I'd try buying this tea pre-bagged as a convenience. The name's the same - but there is nothing about the flavor or content of the tea that is the same as the bulk tea with the same name! When I opened the package I got a hint of cinnamon. I'm allergic to cinnamon so I have to be careful and I had my wife smell it but she said she could smell it. Well, I've tried a couple of cups and there is definitely cinnamon in this.
Perhaps it was a mix up at the factory. I did receive a bag of bulk Sun, Moon, and Stars a year and a half ago that didn't actually contain the right product. It was obvious then because the product contained some kind of dried berry - clearly not what is in Sun, Moon, and Stars (jasmine, black, and green tea blend).
Looks like I'm going to have to find another vendor for that blend.
MoGrace2u : Great in cold brewed tea
The flavor is not too strong or too weak - just right. I have been making cold brew green tea and this adds a refreshing note.
Texas Redhead : Quality spices, makes a heavenly tea
This is probably my favorite product on Amazon. These tea bags are filled with delicious spices. The smell is heavenly. I add a bag to ice tea, hot tea, club soda and red wine. It am famous in my hometown for my Spiced Tea, which is simply a picture of brewed iced tea with one of these bags added while steeping. They come in a large ziplock bag which keeps the spices smelling fresh. There are 100 teabags, so as far as the cost of spices are concerned, this is a terrific deal. I almost hate to write this review and give away my secret for the best tea ever.
JFC : Good packaging and price, but tea lacking in FLAVOR
Maybe it's just me... But over the past few months, I've tried several different varieties of the Davidson's herbal or decaf teas... looking for a variety that would do well when brewed for drinking as ice tea. Unfortunately, I've yet to find any variety that has much of a flavor taste other than...plain tea.
In contrast, brew a couple bags of Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice tea and serve it up as iced tea, and you'll get a really flavorful drink that begs you to drink more. Same with Good Earth's original herbal spice blend. Unfortunately, AFAIK, neither Celestial Seasons nor Good Earth sell their teas in the bulk packaging like Davidson's, but only in the bulkier 6 regular retail boxes size.
If I wanted just regular unflavored iced tea, I'd buy bulk Lipton's or something like that. But I wanted a FLAVORED tea instead of drinking sodas or some sugar-filled drink, and Davidson's just isn't making it for my taste. I can't taste any particular vanilla cream or spice flavor in this tea, and it was pretty much the same with the other flavored varieties from Davidson's that I've tried.
LizzieW : Russian Caravan: For Malty Assam Tea Lovers
I usually purchase all my Davidson's Teas from them directly and tried a sample of the Russian Caravan over the holidays and fell in love. This is an excellent tea for anyone who likes the malty strong flavor of Assam tea ( Irish teas are usually made with this same blend). The malty honey flavor richness of the tea shines through. It holds up to sugar and milk if that is your preference but I often drink it alone and it's smooth.
I've never had a Davidson's tea I did not like. Their flavored teas are not over-powering and I like that they are organic and kosher.
Their customer service is outstanding. I highly recommend their teas.
Lisa : less tea in the bag
We like the first 100 tea bags (decaf English breakfast) that we purchased. I could make a big mug of tea and still have strong flavor. The second order is very disappointing. The tea bag is only half filled now. I have to put two tea bags in my mug to get the full flavor. If you like your tea light, then this is for you. This would be my last purchase.
PragmaticMama : Holy Basil tea is delicious

nucdog : No taste or smell
No taste to the honey bush tea at all and when I compared the tea bags of my other tea bags to Davidson's tea my other brand had almost twice as many tea leaves in each tea bag. When I received Davidson's and opened up the plastic bag with the tea leaves their was no smell at all. When brewed no taste, flavor or aroma. This was Davidson's organic South African Honeybush. It is a bust. I much prefer my other brand bought on Amazon which was sold out so I thought I would try this. Now what to do with all these taste less tea bags. Now they have sent me another box, and I didn't like the first one, I did NOT subscribe to this tea!!!!!

Taylor : Spearmint tea seems weak
I usually buy Traditional Medicinal spearmint tea but because this was cheaper per tea bag I decided to try it out. I have had to steep two tea bags at a time, and I still don’t think it makes a strong tea. Maybe it’s an issue of freshness or maybe it’s just a difference in quality. Once this box is done I’m going back to spending a little more on the Traditional Medicinals Spearmint tea.
Amazon Customer : This tea changed my life!
This product has changed my life! I’ve been drinking it for several years, specifically for allergies. I have not had to buy anymore allergy medicine since I discovered this magical tea!!
Noodle 19-2000 : Inexpensive, tasty, and WORKS!
I drink this tea to help with my "favorite" side effect of PCOS: my facial hair. I don't have a full-on beard but the hair along my jawline and under my chin does get longer than normal and it is noticeable. In the past I tried Vaniqa and it didn't seem to work but that might have been because the insurance company didn't cover it so I was trying to make it stretch as much as possible and might not have been using enough. With this, though, I noticed results after drinking one and a half boxes' worth. I drink 2 16-oz cups a day. Some reviewers say the effect is immediate but your mileage may vary. I urge you, though, to not give up if it isn't immediate and at least give 2 boxes a try.
My visits to the waxing salon are twice a month and in the past my hair was long enough to make me self-conscious by the time my appointment rolled around but now it is not. There are a few coarser hairs here and there but the growth itself seems thinner. I've also noticed a similar effect on my eyebrows. I might possibly even get away with having my waxing done every three weeks now but I am far too self-conscious about it for that.
I am an avid tea drinker to begin with so I knew I was probably going to love the taste either way and this tea does taste wonderful. It doesn't taste as "minty" as some peppermint blends I've tried and I imagine it would taste nice with sugar or milk or maybe even jam added. I drink mine plain, though.
My menstrual cycle has always been rather regular so I can't vouch for it having any effect on it.
My facial hair issue cropped up when I was 12 or 13 (I'm 32 now) and I really wish I had learned about this from the get-go. It's a lot cheaper and since I drink a lot of tea anyway it didn't require any changes to my normal routine. Most importantly, would have saved me A LOT of heartache over the past 20 years.

debrahrah : Lovely subtle tea
I would give this 5 stars if the box didn't arrive crushed again. I get this tea every 3 months on a subscription, as I like it that much and try to drink white and green tea for health. I ordered this extra box to give to someone and the soft box arrived in a basic bubble wrap-lined envelope again. Now, I am embarrassed to give it to someone in this condition.
onemanwolfpack : Not Organic Decaf Black Tea
Purchased Decaf English Breakfast (black)tea, received a box with two stickers. One says Hibiscus Flowers, the other says Decaf English Breakfast. The box definitely contains only hibiscus tea. Rechecked my order, ordered correctly. What a joke. I’ll stick to ordering my organic decaf black tea from England. It may take a month to arrive but at least I know what I’m getting. Extremely frustrating.
KayD : It negatively affected my TSH levels
I love tulsi tea and this particular brand is very good but sadly I have to give it one star because it affected my thyroid levels drastically. Usually my tsh levels were within normal levels but after drinking the tulsi tea they went up a lot. I went from 3 to 15 in tsh levels. The doctor kept increasing my thyroid medicine but it didn’t do any good. So I started to research when my tsh went up and what I had started to eat or drink around the same time and it was the tulsi tea. If you have hypothyroidism be careful about drinking tulsi tea. It could impact your tsh levels drastically. I usually don’t write reviews but I wanted to get the word out that all herbal teas are not harmless
E. Falken : Worst. Chai. EVER.
I've been drinking chai since the 70's. I've had literally hundreds of different blends all over the world, most of them just minor variations of the traditional recipe using a base (black or rooibos-type herbal) and cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and so forth. I've also had blends that use chamomile and orange peel as enhancers.
I love chai. I've been looking for a good decaf chai in bulk, and I like Davidson's other teas.
This stuff - I don't know what the heck this stuff is. It tastes quite literally like dried lawn clippings. Like straw. It does not taste like rooibos, chamomile, cloves, cardamon, cinnamon and orange peel. It's the most god-awful not-chai I've ever tasted. I really wanted to like it but I simply could not; I tried two different cups and could not make myself finish either. I poured the tea down the drain and would like to return the entire box for a refund, but that's not allowed, so I'm stuck with my purchase.
I enjoy Davidson's teas. I love the Meyer Lemon and Bing Cherry flavors. Their French Vanilla is delicious. But this one? Eeeeeee-YUCK!
I didn't think I would have to road-test this flavor before buying in bulk, seeing how much I like all their other teas, but lesson learned and word to the wise. I'll look elsewhere for good herbal chai.
Fred Schultz : Terrible Shipping!!
This is a very good product, but the shipping this time was terrible! From the pictures you can see that the box of tea which is very thin cardboard was not put in any kind of a shipping box or envelope. The box was torn such that the ziploc that the teabags are in could have been pulled out or something could have been put in with the teabags - not acceptable.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
