Immortal Nectar

Nice

A wonderful starter pu-erh - thank you - I will be ordering again.

Coconut Crème

Coconut Creme

Not only does it smell amazing when you open the can, but tastes absolutely incredible! I usually like black teas, but this has wonderful flavor and aroma. You won't regret getting this one.

Coconut Cacao

Huge coconut fan!

This tea smells & tastes delicious! I am really happy with the energy perk I feel like I get from this tea. It's not a nervous energy or a crash that coffee will sometimes give me. I highly recommend this tea. I'm a huge coconut fan & definitely love this tea!

Amoré

So Good!

I first purchased this tea as a sample, but it was so good, I had to buy two ounces! I really love the flavor of the rose petals mixed with the peppermint. It seemed to have stimulated my senses. By far my favorite tea yet!

Peach Picnic

Delicious!

Peach Picnic has become my favorite. It's wonderful iced.

Fruit Fusion

Amazing!!!

I absolutley LOVE this tea! I just purchased seven different teas to serve at my daughters Bridal shower and all the teas are wonderful! I have bought from Tealuxe and Tevana before, The Persimmon Tea is by far my favorite! I love a tea that full in its flavor, Persimmon does not dissapoint! This Fruit Fusion tea is wonderful as an iced tea too!

Chocolate Banana

great herbal tea

Rooibos is the only herbal tea I drink, to be honest. Even just plain it doesn't seem to need any sweetening as it has such a lovely mild & natural taste. Should really try it with spices.

Coconut Crème

Best Coconut Tea

Straight from the pot, it does have a bit of a bite with a coconut chaser. The coconut itself isn't as present as I was expecting from the aroma. Since this is a desert tea however and since I do prefer my teas with a touch of rock sugar, I doctored my tea. It really made a world of difference. Now the coconut is standing up and waving its arms about. Its there from the very beginning of the sip all the way thru a lingering sweet aftertaste. This is a medium bodied tea with the slightly oily texture that I am so love.

White Guava

Very Mellow

This is a very mellow white tea with just a hint of the guava. I find that it is a great tea to drink when I am unwinding after a long day.

Mandarin Silk

Amazing Oolong

This is a great oolong, I'm never NOT in the mood for this tea. It's naturally sweet, complex, smooth, delicious and it smells great. Whoever made this blend is a genius! It stands up well to multiple infusions and it's just as delicious cold as it is hot.

Earl Grey Crème

Yummy

Yum! The black tea base is smooth and this blend contains just enough vanilla to complement the bergamot without muting it. The vanilla also adds a slight sweetness and creaminess to the tea that negates the need for milk or sugar. I love the way the dry leaves smell and this tea is great served hot or cold.

Coconut Crème

Delicious Coconut Creme

Simply delicious!

Chocolate Banana

You mean Banana Chocolate

Overpowering banana-flavor with a subtle chocolate taste makes this a great pairing with a chocolate dessert—but will not stand as chocolaty on its own at all. A tasty enough tea, even for one who is no great banana lover. That being the case, I fed this one to my husband as well (he of the banana and rooibos love). He enjoyed it, but it was not his favorite.

Herbal Grey

Clever name, disappointing execution.

Every tea purveyor seems to have a rooibos-take on the traditional Earl Grey; and everyone seems to get it wrong. At this point, I'm convinced that it's a factor that has to do with the differing qualities of rooibos than with the purveyors themselves. Unfortunately, this one fares no better. "Earl Red", "Rooibos Grey", and the like are uninspired—"[H]erbal Grey", however, quite tickled my punny bone and I looked forward to sipping a non-caffeinated version of one of my favorite teas. However, Herbal Grey is much better named Herbal Orange. The flavor that is evident is that of a navel orange, just peeled. A pleasant flavor—and even a very delicious tea—but not a 'Grey. This tea is delicious in its own right as an orange-flavored rooibos blend, but it has no relation to the Earls Grey a tea-drinker may have tried.

Mandarin Silk

A Flagship Tea!

This is Persimmon Tree Tea's flagship tea. Oolong is a very complex tea and few attempt to flavor or blend it—and even fewer still succeed! Mandarin Silk is a deliciously—dare I say it—silky blend of vanilla and fruit. A great tea to introduce beginners to the world of oolongs and a pleasant surprise for oolong fans. Enjoy hot or cold.

Biodynamic Darjeeling

Love it.

Darjeeling is a wonderful tea, black without being dark, bold without being bitter, and versatile without being boring. This Biodynamic Darjeeling is one of the best Darjeeling's I've ever had. A simple black tea that is perfect for your morning cuppa and an afternoon formal tea alike. Its complex flavors suits it well to pairing with both savory and sweet foods (and of course, to being enjoyed on its own). Although a smidge' of sugar often improves a pot of tea by bringing out its flavors, this tea is secure enough that it doesn't need it. This tea definitely has a permanent place in my tea cupboard.

Coconut Cacao

New Take on Pu-Erh

The cocoa taste is very subtle, but the coconut taste is a delicious, slightly sweet, compliment to the bitter taste of pu-erh. Pu-erh is a tea with a very strong flavor and it can be hard to make a flavored pu-erh tea that is not overpowering or too subtle. Persimmon Tree's Coconut Cacao finds this balance. A pleasant surprise for coconut and pu-erh lovers alike.

Earl Grey Crème

Delicious

This tea is great! I bought this to introduce myself to earl grey because I wasn't sure I would like the flavor of bergamot. This is fantastic and the leaves have an amazing smell. It's so smooth and has the perfect amount of sweetness and bergamot. I'll be back for more!

Ginger Ginseng

favorite spin on chamomile!

The combination of flavors is excellent. I don't think I'll ever stop buying this :)

Green Caramel

:) mm

This green tea is awesome. It's sweet, but not too sweet. A good tea to drink in the morning to start your day off in a relaxing way :)

Bao Zhong

I'm sorry I tried it

I'm sorry I tried it because I am now hooked for life. This is the best oolong tea I think that I've ever had!

White Peony (Bai Mu Dan)

YUM

This tea is absolutely fantastic. :):):)

Genmaicha

Rare

I have to admit I'm not too much for the kernels but overall a good natural taste.

Fruit Fusion

Mouthwatering

Wow I can't get over the taste of this tea, I love the fruits and the sweet taste it has. I can drink this all day.

Amoré

Best of the Best

What more can we aske for, my husband drinks it any time he feels like he's going to get sick because he says that it scares the cold away. Me I love the fresh taste and the floral aroma specially in the morning... I love it!

Biodynamic Darjeeling

Nice Change

I've substituted my afternoon coffee with this tea and I feel a lot more alert and without the caffeine crash

Biodynamic Darjeeling

BOLD

loved the nautural bold taste to it , excellent by itself, and great pick me up in the morning.

Mandarin Silk

Sweet and smooth

What a joy to find such a sweet and delicious drink that's good for you!

Mandarin Silk

Awesome Oolong

Best oolong I've ever had! Amazing flavor. I kept the empty cup around long after the tea was gone because it smelled like marshmallows :)

Rock Sugar, 1lb

Healthy product!

Much healthier than regular, white, processed sugar that, I am told, actually interferes with the absorption of the antioxidents in the tea. I will always use rock sugar instead of regular sugar. The more natural the form, the healthier it has to be!

Coconut Crème

Tea lova

Best tea ever, seriously. I can't believe how wonderful this tastes. So warm and inviting, it's great. I only steeped it for about 3 minutes and it's so full bodied. LOVEIT.

Earl Grey Crème

Teatender

This tea is delicious! I smell my tin of this about 10x as often as I drink it. It is a bit strong for my tastes, but it's still yummy. A friend of mine described it as smelling like cream soda... another said a cake! Either way, yum!

Coconut Cacao

Brew it right

good tea. it tastes right if you brew it right. get the water to 220F then let it cool to 210F and brew for 4m, that's the right combo

Coconut Crème

Coffee substitute

I never thought I'd substitute my morning coffee, but this tea does wake me up in the morning. The coconut is pretty pronounced, which makes it naturally sweet. This is an all-time fav. If you want a new tea to try, you just found it.

Rock Sugar, 1lb

Love this sugar

I love this sugar! It makes regular tea so exciting. It adds a very light sweetness.

Gunpowder

A must for green tea fans!

What a wonderfully unique tea! These leaves are clearly of very high quality, and the smokey aroma and taste is just outstanding.

Gunpowder

Strong flavor

I found the flavor overpowering when I steeped this tea for 5 minutes, but it was great after almost 3 minutes.

French Lemon Ginger

Great Iced Tea

I like this lemon ginger tea hot, but even more so iced. It's very pretty and has a lovely aroma as well.

French Lemon Ginger

Refreshing

This tea has great flavor. The ginger and lemon have a nice balance over the honeybush base. I've been replacing my usual morning cup of coffee with this tea; I feel energized without the crash that comes later with coffee.

Halo

Beautiful

I never get tired of watching this tea unfold in my glassware. The little 'halo' of flowers is so pretty, and the tea itself is delicious, not to mention healthy. It's perfect for 1-2 servings (a bit weak if any more than that)

Jasmine Blossom

smooth and fragrant

this tea is like jasmine pearls - smooth and fragrant - but nicer to look at

Jasmine Blossom

The perfect gift

This would make a really great gift for a birthday, mother's day, valentine's day, etc. It looks beautiful in a glass cup or teapot, and its jasmine flavor is quite special.

Beach Flower

Pleasant flavors

This is a very pretty tea. A lot of blooming teas don't actually taste very nice but the subtle cantaloupe and lychee flavors in this one complement each other nicely. I would buy this again.

Masala Chai

A chai delight!

This chai is made the right way! It's authentic and flavorful. Just beautiful with milk and honey.

Rooibos Chai

Full flavor

A delicious, flavorful tea, perfect for someone who loves chai but doesn't want the caffeine of black tea.

Mint Chocolate Chip

Smells like mint chocolate chip icecream!

The aroma of this tea bursts out of the tin as you open it! It smells amazing, and the flavor is rich, and yet very natural. A big thumbs up!

Jasmine Pearls

Smooth

A delightfully smooth tea; perfectly balanced.

Jasmine Pearls

jasmine bliss

what can i say, I love this tea! i do enjoy most jasmine teas, but this is one of the best. the amount of jasmine is just right, and the green tea is of high quality. the pearls are beautiful to look at as well.

Sencha

Fresh

This sencha is very light and fresh. And as well as tasting good, it's organic and full of antioxidants. The perfect tea!

Sencha

Versatile

I like this green tea a lot. It's great hot, and also iced with a slice of lemon or lime.

Sencha

amazing

this is a special tea. it makes me feel lively and strong.

Genmaicha

Not toasted enough

I like genmaicha to be slighty more toasted than this. The brown rice flavor wasn't prominent enough for me. Other than that a nice green tea.

Green Pomegranate

A nice afternoon tea

This is a great tea that I like to have in the afternoon as a quick pick-me-up. It helps me focus until the end of my work day.

Green Pomegranate

Too strong

I thought I would have liked this tea but the fruit flavors are too strong for my palate. Toning it down with a little soy milk and agave made it better.

Green Pomegranate

Grassy and fruity

This green pomegranate has a nice mild green tea flavor, and the fruit really comes through. A beautiful combination; one that I wouldn't have thought of before.

Tropical Pineapple

Thumbs up

I don't like green tea on its own but this pineapple and citrus flavor is really nice, so now I can happily enjoy green tea's health benefits.

Tropical Pineapple

Great combination

Earthy and yet slighty sweet. Delicious!

Earl Grey Crème

I think I'm in love!

I could sip on this all day, it's such a wonderful black tea. It smells and tastes so fresh, and it's citrus quality is like nothing I've experienced before! Well done Persimmon Tree!

Earl Grey Crème

A new favorite

This tea has the most incredible aroma, and it's so rich and creamy. I would have to say it's probably in my top five teas of all time.

Earl Grey Crème

the best earl grey

hands down, the best earl grey i've ever tasted. i'll be back for more.

French Vanilla Bean

Not strong enough

I didn't care too much for this tea - I like my teas bold, and this one just didn't cut it.

Black Tea Gift Set

Happy girlfriend!

I gave this gift set to my girlfriend for Christmas and she was thrilled. This is a great price for the amount of tea you get.

French Vanilla Bean

Yum!

This is a really tasty tea, and especially great with confections, or even as a dessert itself with a little sugar.

White Peach

Not quite peachy enough

The peony in this tea is of high quality, but I would have liked the peach flavor to stand out more. It's a nice tea if you like subtle flavors.

White Peach

A nice evening tea

I really like white peony and this tea has a nice subtle peach flavor. It's very comforting.

White Peach

Substantial body

This tea has a nice aroma and substantial body. If you like peach you'll like this tea

Amoré

Pleasant blend

This tea has a great aroma and is quite refreshing. A very nice white tea.

Amoré

Love love LOVE this tea

The name says it all! It's a delightful, refreshing white tea that's floral and minty. I can drink it all day long.

Coconut Crème

Relaxing

If you're a fan of white teas this may just blow your mind! It's a very satisfying blend, and an added bonus is that it helps you relax (and in my case, sleep). I would say that if you're into bold flavors, this may not be for you. This company carries another coconut tea though (pu-erh) which I also ordered, and that has a fuller flavor.

Coconut Crème

Deeeeelicious!

What can I say?!! This tea is just incredible. The coconut is so tasty without being overpowering. And the tea itself is so pretty! HIGHLY recommended!

Silver Needle

healing

i bought this tea for its medicinal properties and it has greatly helped with my skin inflammation

Silver Needle

Complex flavors

As a white tea this silver needle is very complex. It's savory, woodsy, and yet a little sweet. I really enjoy sipping this throughout the day.

Silver Needle

An exceptional tea

This is a very calming, mellow tea. I love to have it in the evening to relax and wind down after a long day. I think 3 minutes is a good steep time.

Classic Black

Reliable

This is a great everyday tea, and I prefer it straight up, without cream or sugar. A nice tea to come back to time and again.

Classic Black

A classic indeed!

A very nice tea. High quality and exceptionally smooth.

Classic Black

A winner!

This tea has a great aroma, and has a full flavor without being harsh or bitter. Also great iced.

French Vanilla Bean

A fair tea

This is a pretty good tea and it doesn't taste artificial like some vanilla teas.

French Vanilla Bean

Good amount of vanilla

I really like the flavor of this tea. I wish it was a little stronger, but with 1 1/2 tsp per cup it's really nice, particularly with a splash of milk and some rock sugar. I bought the rock sugar here too. It has a nice sweetness to it and you don't need to add very much so it will last a long time.

Peach Apple Crisp

Breakfast tea

This is a great tea to have first thing in the morning. It has refreshing floral and citrus notes and a clean finish.

Peach Apple Crisp

Beautiful blend of fruits

I'm not usually a fan of flavored teas, but this is an exception. It's very unique and really quite beautiful.

Peach Apple Crisp

Unexpected flavor

This was the first tea I tried from The Persimmon Tree. It came in a beautiful tin and when I first opened it, I was amazed at how fresh and delicious it smelled, and its fruity flavor did not disappoint! I would highly recommend this tea to anyone who enjoys black tea. It's a very good price for such a high quality tea.

Passion Fruit Jasmine

Just the right amount of sweetness

My search for an iced tea blend that's healthy, organic, great tasting and not in need of sweetening is over! Best steeped at a lower temperature (175 degrees) rather than the usual higher temperature for black tea as there is green tea in this blend as well.

Earl Grey Crème

You simply have to try this tea!

I tried this tea at my friend's house, and wasn't expecting to like it that much as I'm generally not an earl grey fan, but she insisted I try it and... I was completely bowled over! I'm now an earl grey convert! I think I'm going to try the herbal grey next, as it has no caffeine.

Earl Grey Crème

Delicious

A beautiful tea, in appearance and taste. And it's nice to know it's organic.

Earl Grey Crème

Heavenly!!!

This tea smells AMAZING! It's so smooth and creamy, and it has just the right amount of bergamot. Easily the best Earl Grey I've ever had.

English Breakfast

Robust

I really like this tea. It's strong, high quality, and it works well with other teas too (I like to mix it with Assam gold).

English Breakfast

A good tea

A very high quality black tea. Organic too.

English Breakfast

The perfect start to my day!

My day isn't the same without this lovely English Breakfast. I love to brew it strong so that it really wakes me up. I love its smokey scent and flavor. It's one of my all-time favorite black teas!

Passion Fruit Jasmine

Siler

Floral flavors are generally not my cup of tea (see what I did there? hehe) but this was genuinely surprising. I went in expecting this Jasmine tea to taste bleh and it turned out to be an amazing tea to sip throughout the day- my favorite cup came from the second steeping! Thanks so much for the opportunity to try this tea!

Fruit Fusion

Fruit Punch

A melody of fruits, hard to pick them out individually. I think this would do well iced as well. No sugar needed.

French Vanilla Bean

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

It reminds me of vanilla bean ice cream, and was best with cream and sugar. 3 minutes is a good steep time.

Rock Sugar, 1lb

Tea Sugar

This should be called "tea sugar" because it's made for tea. I hardly ever sweeten my tea or coffee, but this sugar isn't too strong; you know your tea is sweeter but it's not too overpowering. This stuff is great to have when I'm in the mood for something a little sweet.

Rooibos Vanilla Chai

Great Tea

This was my first time ordering from The Persimmon Tree. The shipment arrived quickly, came packaged beautifully, and the tea is very high quality. I enjoyed this product in particular to most other chais that I've tried. The Vanilla and Rooibos helped to mellow the intensity of the sometimes overpowering Clove. Although not necessary, adding a spoonful of sugar or agave nectar made this tea even better. I also found that it kept its flavor after several washes. I highly recommend this product and will be ordering more, as well as other types, in the future.

Mandarin Silk

Love it!

The vanilla really makes this tea a stand-out. The aroma is divine and it tastes even better. I had it with a bit of cream and rock sugar and it reminded me of a Creamsicle. Can't wait to try it iced.

Chocolate Banana

Perfect as an after-dinner delight

The flavor lives up to the name, the chocolate and banana combo tastes just like a delicious pastry in a cup. Using rock sugar to sweeten the tea adds a bit of a caramel flavor as well.

Coconut Crème

one of my favorites

This is probably one of the best teas I've had. Despite white tea's reputation for amazing health benefits, it is usually too mild for my taste. However, this tea surpassed my expectations. The name is really befitting for the tea; it tastes just like coconut creme! The tea itself is so flavorful. I want more!

Jasmine Pearls

Great quality

These pearls make such a smooth brew, and if you follow the steep time of 3-5 minutes, it's not at all bitter. It's really fragrant, a little sweet, and it instantly relaxes me. Definitely one of my favorite teas.

Fruit Fusion

So fragrant

This is hands down the best fruit tea I've ever had. It smells fantastic and I love it with a teaspoon of honey. It's also really nice iced.

Vanilla Berry Truffle

Delicious

The fruit and chocolate make an excellent pairing, and there is just the right balance of vanilla. It looks nice too.

Coconut Crème

Best iced tea...ever!

OMG... I think I've fallen in love! You can really taste all of the flavors, and the coconut when iced is sooo refreshing!

Silver Needle

Divine!

If you like milder teas, you have to try this one! You can just taste the quality of the tea leaves. It's quite special.

Green Caramel

Yummy!

This has just the right amount of caramel - it's not too subtle.

Ginger Ginseng

Healthy

I like this a lot. Its flavors are subtle, but I prefer that. I often have it first thing in the morning and then sip it throughout the day at my desk, as it keeps me alert without the crash I get from coffee or sugary drinks.

Herbal Grey

Full flavor

This tea is a favorite of mine. The oil of bergamot makes it reminiscent of Earl Grey, but it's quite different as it has a rooibos base. It's good on its own, but I love it with a pinch of rock sugar and some milk. It's tasty, warming, and full of health benefits. I drink it daily now.

Genmaicha

Earthy and bold

This tea is great with sushi! It has a really bold flavor; you can really taste the toasted rice.

Mint Chocolate Chip

Perfect balance

I love this tea. It has just the right balance of chocolate and mint.

Passion Fruit Jasmine

A little pricey, but worth it

This is a really unique tea. I've tried something similar before, but not as good as this. I like it first thing in the morning to wake me up.

Passion Fruit Jasmine

Beautiful iced tea

My girlfriend bought this tea and I tried it iced - it is so refreshing and it doesn't need any sweeteners. It's good hot as well, but I prefer it iced. I'm going to order it today!

Chocolate Banana

Like a dessert

This tea is perfect for satisfying a chocolate craving. The chocolate and banana work surprisingly well together, and a little sugar really steps up the flavor.

Mandarin Silk

Smooth and creamy

This tea is definitely one of my favorites. It's so smooth, and has a strong vanilla flavor which I love. I haven't tried multiple infusions yet, but I think it will work as the flavor is pretty bold.

Mandarin Silk

Best Oolong ever

I ordered a few teas and this one is my absolute fave. I added a little bit of the german rock sugar which makes it even better (I have a sweet tooth!) It'd probably be great with a drop of milk or cream too, but it's already creamy on its own.

Coconut Cacao

Heavenly

I think I died and went to heaven when I opened up this tea! It smells sooo yummy and tastes just as good. I have it after dinner or late at night with a teaspoon of rock sugar as a low calorie dessert.

Earl Grey Crème

So good!

I am a big fan of black teas - I usually have a breakfast tea or Earl Grey first thing in the morning. I was drawn to this tea because of its beautiful coloring. It smells divine! You can really smell the sweet vanilla, and the taste is so much better than the teas I'm used to. I'm hooked!

Jasmine Pearls

To die for!

This tea is absolutely to die for! I had tried it once before on a cruise and thought it was good, but a friend turned me onto the Jasmine Pearls from this site and I fell in LOVE! It has a sweet taste and it's so smooth. I always have it without sugar because it has a sweet undertone. It was so good I had to come back and review it. It's kind of pricey, so I have to make it last, but this would be my habit of choice.

Chocolate Banana

Yummy and refreshing

The smell of this tea is intoxicating! The tea itself isn't as strong as its aroma, but a little rock sugar brings out all of its flavors. It's fruity, fresh, and light, and is perfect over ice or with a sweet treat.

Gunpowder

bold tea, great hot or iced

This green tea is perfect for anyone who likes really bold, strong teas. It has a really full-bodied flavor, and is exceptional as an iced tea. I love iced tea, but pouring a tea over ice can cause it to lose quite a bit of it's flavor. However this tea is so flavorful that it's qualities are still preserved after icing.
