My Review
Thanks to Hi-Tea for sending the packets of teas.

Today focus will be on Hi-Tea Blends of Flowering Tea Series.
Hi-Tea Blends of Flowering Tea Series
Have you been eating too much during the CNY? Well if yes, then these special blended tea will make a good drink to solve the issue caused by eating too much unhealthy food during CNY. If no, you should also start drinking it to maintain your health.

I really love to drink tea. It makes me even more happy if the tea is caffeine free because I know that my gastric is well taken care off. :)

I have already talked about the package from the last Hi-Tea post. You may find it here. To recap, the tea came in a box of 10 sachets with the box easily folded for nice and good storage.

Beauty Tea Series
Beauty Tea Series
Of the 5 special blend, this beauty tea series rank 3rd place for my liking table.

This beauty series produces a nice mixture of flower fragrance. But I smell rose and jasmine more though.
Can see a mixture of the 3 flowers inside the tea bag.
The beauty tea produces a nice yellow color.
How it looks like.
Natural yellow color from the flowers in Beauty Tea Series.
Taste wise, there is no need for honey. It taste just nice as it is. Sweet and fragrance.

I like the tea best when it is about 70% warm. When it is drink warm, I can taste the strong rose taste just when it enters my mouth and a nice jasmine taste just when I swallow it.

For those who love it cold, its a good news that I find the tea tastes just as nice as when it is warm.

It feels really great drinking this tea as I felt like I am drinking those packet soft drink like Jasmine green tea just that this is of course more healthy. Now I can replace those soft drinks with Hi-Tea. It is healthier with taste not compromised. It taste great. Knowing that its great for my skin makes me even happier!!!

Health Tea Series
Health Tea Series
This Health Tea Series is my favorite among the 5 blended tea. Why? Well, lets find out.

First, I am totally attracted to the half slice of dried lemon inside the tea bag. Can see lemon grass and jasmine tea inside too.
Take a look at what is inside. Clearly dried lemon, lemongrass and jasmine flower spotted here.
This health tea series produces a nice lemongrass smell that is not too strong. I can also smell a light lemon smell.

The tea is light yellow in color.
How it looks like.
The health tea has a natural light yellow color.
I love lemon taste and best is that the tea taste fragrance sweet with a little sour. And this health tea series hit bull eye for me. The tea has a very nice lemongrass fragrance taste with a little sour taste from the lemon when drink warm. Totally tasty for me.

I can imagine myself drinking this tea during cold weather. Totally melt my body and taste bud.

This health series taste very delicious when it is cold too. I can taste the jasmine and lemongrass fragrance taste with a light lemon taste. Definitely what I am looking for after a hot weather day outside.

Probably because of the lemon, it balance out the taste of the jasmine and lemongrass and add a little surprise of lemon into the tea. Which probably suits anyone's taste bud.

Best of all, it helps in detoxing and digestion. What can I ask for when its already so healthy and tasty.

Relaxation Series
Relaxation Series
This relaxation tea series rank 4th position among the 5 blends of tea series.

I actually wanted to taste this series the most among the 5 blend because I love chamomile tea and also the lavender smell. So the combination of both made me quite excited and I thought I would love this tea series the most. But turns out otherwise.

Opening the tea bag, I can already smell a very nice lavender and chamomile fragrance. The fragrance continues when I am making the tea. Chamomile fragrance smell strong when I am making the tea.
Can see the lavender and chamomile tea inside.
The tea is yellow in color as well. :)
How it looks like.
The relaxation tea has a natural yellow color.
When drink warm, the tea has a nice chamomile taste with a light lavender taste.

Not sure if I have place the tea too long, it taste a little bitter to me when I was about to swallow it. But a little bit of honey place into the tea solve the bitter issue.

When drink cold, I can taste mostly chamomile taste. No bitter taste. It is a good replacement of soft drink.

I still like it when its warm, taste very comfortable.

Although it may not rank the top in term of taste to me, it definitely rank the top in term of fragrance smell. How is this so?

After finished drinking, the tea cup still smells so good. I can still smell the light lavender with slightly stronger chamomile smell. From opening to after drinking, the fragrance smell so nice and lasting. How can it not rank the top for smell. :)

This tea helps on relaxation and good night sleep. No worries about not able to sleep after drinking this tea as this tea is caffeine free. So drink away with no worries and have a sweet dream. 

Anti-Aging Series
Anti-Aging Series
This anti-aging tea series rank the last from the 5 blend of tea series.

This tea smells like lemongrass. Not very strong so the smell is still ok to me.
What is inside the tea bag.
This tea is urm....also yellow in color. -_-'''
How it looks like.
This anti-aging tea has a natural yellow color as well.
When drink cold or warm, it produces a strong rosemary taste with a light lemongrass taste.

Taste a little like drinking ginger tea to me but minus away the hot taste found in ginger tea.

Maybe is the rosemary taste, I don't quite like it as compare with the other 4 blends of flowering series. It still taste nice. Just that as compare to the other 4, it is the least tasty to me.

But hay, its rich in anti-oxidant. So it is still worth my drinking. 

Slimming Series
Slimming Series
This slimming tea series is my 2nd favorite among the 5 blend of tea series.

I felt excitedly tasty when I found out that Hawthorn fruit is inside this tea. I love drinks made from hawthorn fruit. So I can't help play with the piece of hawthorn fruit found inside the tea bag when I opened it.
Can see the natural ingredients inside clearly.
Ops....its wrong to play with food and drinks. Small kids please do not follow. LOL.

This tea has a very nice hawthorn fruit smell.

This slimming tea is......red in color!!! Finally a different color...LOL...because of Roselle I think. :)
How it looks like.
This slimming tea have a natural red color.
This tea taste different when drink warm and cold.

When drink warm, it produces a very nice hawthorn fruit taste. It is slightly sour with a light fragrance Hindu lotus taste. Sweet fragrance with slightly sour taste. Yum....I like!!!

When drink cold, the Hindu lotus taste stronger with a very light hawthorn fruit taste but is not sour at all.

I still like it when it is warm than cold, taste better.

This makes an ideal tea too after an oily meal. Wash away all the unwanted oils.
Hi-Tea Blends of Flowering Tea Series
All 5 blends of flowering tea series taste different with different fragrance smell too. But they have 1 thing in common. That is they are all very tasty.

Which to choose? Well I feel that it depends on the purpose you drink it or if its the taste you are after.

Overall, different blends of flowering tea produces it own unique and nice taste. Besides taste, some produces very nice natural fragrance smell. Best of all, its an excellent replacement for soft drinks. These different blends flowering tea can be drink hot or cold, is healthy and each provides its own benefits for different purposes.
