Mighty Leaf Mint Marrekesh - Somebody Got Caught Slippin

Mike: The Greeks had their Gods sippin' tea atop mount Olympus. Question: where do the tea Gods themselves drink the godly beverage? Answer: Mount Tiznit.
Mighty Leaf Marrakesh Mint Green Tea is a product of decent green tea with a blast of mint picked from Mount Tiznit. Unfortunately the Gods at this mountain gave Mighty Leaf some wack mint, or the teasans over there got overexcited and added too much of it. I've never been big on mint tea in general so my view is biased. Hate to do it to a brand as superb as Mighty Leaf Tea, but this is your lowest rating yet.

Rating: C+

Dax: The teasan inside of me died a little bit as I ripped open the artisan-crafted teabag holding Mighty Leaf Mint Marrakesh Green Tea, but steep and share (sns) was the program today. All the time and effort used to stitch the Mighty Leaf tea sachets does not go unnoticed, this mint tea was no different. Now usually Mighty Leaf hits the bullseye blindfolded, but today the arrows were off. This Mighty Leaf mint tea had no core values, like a 6 year old cursing out the Fedex guy. The green tea was hardly noticed, and the mint was normal. Quality, but normal.

Mighty Leaf Organic Breakfast Tea - Steep-n-Share At Its Finest

Mighty Leaf Breakfast TeaMike: Mighty Leaf English Breakfast tea has the tools necessary to reach the pinnacle of freshness and gently caress the sky on its ascent. What once was lost in quality breakfast tea has yet again been exhumed by Mighty Leaf. Way to go. Mighty Leaf tea is incredible and the tea snob-purists who tell you otherwise are just that: snobs. This English breakfast tea will have  you crying tears of joy. The black tea used here is ultra fresh with a light smokey flavor and the sort of natural sweetness only a super high-end tea can bestow. Do yourself a favor and start steeping this on the daily if you one day hope to enter teasan's paradise.

Rating: A+

Dax: Mike and I got on the steep and share program with Mighty Leaf Organic Breakfast. As you can see, Mighty Leaf tea has been showstopping with their stunna shades on for a while. Read the other Mighty Leaf tea reviews and see what's good. In this case, Mighty Leaf Breakfast tea smashed the competition with a relentless fury of bold flavor and smoothability. This breakfast tea isn't high on mesquite, but is beyond tasty. This tea nd Numi Chinese breakfast have significant differences, but Mighty Leaf Organic Breakfast is right up there.

Mighty Leaf Ginger Twist - A Spicy Boot To The Shorts

Mighty Leaf Ginger TwistDax: Mighty Leaf Ginger tea is a reality check ginger tea.  some herbal teas like to use artificial flavorings, and clearly Mighty Leaf would never do such a thing.  Artificially flavored ginger tea has an odd sweetness to it.  Some teas, like the Octavia Ginger Tea, got the sweetness locked down naturally; this is a rare occurrence. This Mighty Leaf tea has the true ginger poppin, as the opening taster is smooth like their exquisite line of teas are supposed to be, with a spicy kick in the pants on the way out.  Not too spicy, now, but just right.  It's amazing and true, Mighty Leaf is a guaranteed winner.  Oh yea, and a half of a point deduction for that semi-chamomile feeling I got in the after-aftertaste.

Rating: A-

Mike: Mighty Leaf Ginger Twist is the kind of ginger tea little boys and girls dream of becoming when they grow up, right along with fireman, astronaut, and professional athelete. I'm sorry, I am now receiving word from our sources on the ground that Mighty Leaf Ginger Twist is the kind of ginger tea little boys and girls dream of DRINKING when they grow up. We apologize for this mistake and the correction will be made on the transcript. Anyway, if you're looking for a Mighty Leaf ginger tea popping with flavor, a nice citrusy lemongrasset (an asset made of lemongrass), strong fruit vibes, and a hint of mint then this Mighty Leaf tea is for you.

Mighty Leaf Rainforest Mate - Connect with the Yerba In You

Mighty Leaf Rainforest MateDax: It's really hard to beat someone at their own game, and Mighty Leaf Tea is racketeering this junket with the best of em. Mighty Leaf Rainforest Mate is another example that proves tha better ingredients equals better tea. I mean just look at a Mighty Leaf teabag and observe the careful stitching that holds the herbal infusion in place. Marvelous. The yerba mate is splendid, as I taste just a hint of apple and some unnamed luscious spice. It just makes you feel whole again, please steep this mate tea masterpiece. It's got the Amazon written all over it.

Rating: A+

Mike: Mighty Leaf Rainforest Mate is the Yerba Mate you were born to drink. Tender is the flavor you savor when you sip the drip from the hip they call Mighty Leaf Rainforest Mate. The beverage is sweet and flavorful like I said but it is not perfect. The Yerba Mate, a South American herb with a penchant for smooth taste and optimum health, is ovrshadowed just slightly by the rainforest flavorings or hhhwhatever Mighty Leaf managed to overdose us with. Overall, fragrant and flavorful and definitely worth multiple steeps well beyond the daily drinker lifespan.

Mighty Leaf Wuyi Oolong Tea - Are You Doctor Yet???

Mighty Leaf Tea ReviewDax: Here we steep again with a Mighty Leaf tea review.  Today's special is their loose tea Wuyi Oolong.  The oolong tea has beautifully dried leaves that smell like the epitome of freshness.  Mighty Leaf tea has been topping our charts, and I want to say the same about this loose oolong tea.  Well, I can almost say this is a top tea, but something about it didn't have me selling my mom's VCR for it.  It was very smooth with a nice hint of sweetness that Mike prolly did not care for, and the steep was very potent as well.  An overall great oolong with characteristics of Ten Ren Pouchong aftertaste, just not an Olympic athlete.  Just a starter in the all-star game.  How's that for high expectations.

Rating: A

Mike: Mighty Leaf Wuyi Oolong tea is a solid oolong. It lacks some of the pizzazz of the other Mighty Leaf Teas we've rewviewed but is tasry nevertheless. The Wuyi oolong seems a little less fermented than other oolong teas. It's a lot closer to its brother, green tea, than its cousin, black. I generally prefer my oolongs fermentier. Nevertheless, Mighty Leaf still brings the freshness here, it's just not my favorite brew from them.

Mighty Leaf Organic Detox Tea - Dipset Toxins ASAP

detox tea reviewMike: Mighty Leaf Organic Detox is the mightiest of detox teas hitting you with the chamomile quickness. Like most detox blends, chamomile is the most vibrant flavor. After that this Mighty Leaf Tea breaks down into your usual undiscerning blend of herbs and spices that's supposed to make you feel better, remove the toxins, and help you pass drug tests. I don't know about the latter two but I had some Brown's chicken and the former is true. Definitely helped settle my stomach after eating that greasy mess. In total, Mighty Leaf Organic Detox Tea provides a similar taste sensation as other detox teas except for one factor. Like usual, Mighty Leaf's ingredients come hard with the freshness so even though I can't identify each indivdial ingredient, I can tell you that this is the best detox tea I've ever tried. Not the best overall tea but if you're looking to get an A- on a drug test, I guess this would be the way to go.

Rating: A

Dax: Double Steep week in effect again, killing the tea review game.  Steep for the game all day everyday.

So there comes a time an many people's lives where the feel the need to detox. What better tea to do that with than Mighty Leaf organic detox tea? Well, hopefully whatever you are trying to get out of your body will listen to this detox tea and dipset on the dot. Unlike other detox teas, it seems that Mighty Leaf threw in some chamomile for an extra small plate throat reverb for added breadth, and trust me, I ain't mad at them. Overall, the flavor is far from outstanding, and it smells and looks like a specimen from the forest, but it might help your system like blowing into your Nintendo.

Mighty Leaf Chamomile Citrus Tea - Mike Says Chamomile Is Okay

Mighty Leaf Chamomile TeaDax: Double Steep Week continues here at TeaAmigos.  Two, count em, two tea reviews a day; giving you a little more of what you love.  It is now that Mighty Leaf did the unthinkable, they made a chamomile tea that is actually quite tolerable. Usually that bad characteristics that plaugue many chamomile teas is the horrible chamomile burps and the "I just ate a pack of Halls" feeling in your throat. Mighty Leaf chamomile citrus tea was the greatest in the genre. They were on point when they thought of adding the zest of orange in the mix, as it dumbs down the chamomile flavor to a proper level, similar to when you add seltzer water to an alcoholic drink. this Mighty Leaf chamomile tea is a surefire way to get over your phobia of chamomile.

Rating: A-

Mike: Aight, hear me out. I am not a fan of chamomile tea but wait till you try this one. That's right, Mighty Leaf Citrus Chamomile has what takes to make a chamomile lover out of the most devoted camilla sinensis fanatic out there. The clarity of taste is unmatched: a grip of citrus flavor envelopes your tongue while a very subtle chamomile twang caresses those buds in this Mighty Leaf tea. Expertly brewed and unexectedly enjoyable, Mighty Leaf Citrus Chamomile elevates the game above the penthouse.

Mighy Leaf Chocolate Mint Truffle - So Good, It's Already Gone

Mighty Leaf Chocolate TeaMike: Mighty Leaf Chocolate Mint Truffle tea is your ticket to flavor country. You don't need to search for airfare tickets at Travelocity, Expedia, or Priceline. Besides, if you told them you wanted to book a hotel in flavor country they would think you're an idiot. But in the world of teasans, such a request is neither strange nor undesirable. Mighty Leaf Tea takes you there. The mildly sweet intermingle of flavor interacts ever so gently with your tongue. A tinge of green tea is quickly replaced by a boldly refreshing mint which yields to a light chocolate rendition of Beethoven's 5th. Nothing like a concert in flavor country.

Rating: A

Dax: When life rains on you, filter it and steep some Mighty Leaf Chocolate Mint Truffle. A divine smelling concoction, Mighty Leaf Chocolate tea with mint combines the best of both worlds into a delightful dessert tea.  Aromatic, flavorful, and uplifting are how I would desribe this brew, as a solemn Chicago day was elevated a few notches after steepage.  Mighty Leaf came correct once again with their chocolate mint tea, and I fully recommend it if you are having a low day and need some herbal enlightenment in beverage form.  You made me smile Might Leaf, thanks.

Mighty Leaf African Nectar Tea - Organic Rooibos Perfection

Mighty Leaf Tea ReviewDax: The easiest way to experience quality rooibos tea is to steep some of Mighty Leaf African Nectar Tea.  I don't know what elephant they rode in on, but it was packed heavy with flavor and enough rooibos to build a roof with.  Mighty Leaf set the new standard once again with a classic tea that I didn't even know existed.  First, you feel the sun hit your back with its warm, bold body.  Next, a little vanilla creeps into the scene by means of a slight "middle taste".  Now, completely appreciated, the aftertaste sets in just a microsecond after swallowing, featuring a cool sweetness that reminded me of cinnamon toast crunch.  Why aren't you drinking this Mighty Leaf right now?

Rating: A

Mike: Mighty Leaf Organic African Nectar is an African herbal tea with a rooibos base. All I have to say is that this Mighty Leaf tea is nuts. I don't particularly like rooibos tea because it usually tastes like a coniferous forest but this rooibos tea has mango, vanilla, and blossoms as side kicks. They block for the rooibos while it powers through and scores an 80 yard punt return. Upon sipping, you will taste the mango vanilla sweetness instantaneously with a wave of fresh rooibos following soon after. If you don't like rooibos tea, this one will change your life. If you do, Mighty Leaf's Organic African Nectar will make you a lover for life.

Mighty Leaf White Orchard Tea - Immersed in Freshness

Mighty Leaf White Orchard TeaDax: Okay right from the get go i knew that this Mighty Leaf White Orchard was going to be magical.  I tore open the package all nonchalantly was blasted by the fragrant aroma of melon and something else that was sweet as apple pie.  Taken aback, I quickly put some hot water to this Mighty Leaf tea.  There is something about these Mighty Leaf sachets that brings the lovin out of these leaves, because once gain they got that flavor poppin once again!  This white tea blend is amazing, boasting bold fruity notes out the yin yang.  It is smooth, silky, and even gives an assist to easy steeping.  Mighty Leaf, you earned Tea of the Month by a longshot.

Rating: A+

Mike: Mighty Leaf White Orchard Tea is a white tea whose freshness is unrivaled, taste unbridled, and balance unstifled. The preceding sentence features parallel construction unparalleled. The most popular additive to white tea is melon, and this Mighty Leaf Tea is no different except that it also comes strong with the peach. The symbiosis of these three ingredients is a pursuasive argument for consumption. Lightly sweet and proudly aromatic, Mighty Leaf white tea brings it on home. Drinks up to your health, son.

Mighty Leaf Orange Dulce Tea - Pig Out On Dessert Tea

Mighty Leaf Tea ReviewMike: Mighty Leaf Orange Dulce tea is something else. When it comes to flavored tea, leave it to Mighty Leaf to crank out some freshness from their tea presses. Everything about this tea is superb...texture, taste, steepability, balance. You name it. It's got the perfect citrus strut with a base tea whose freshness beats that of any Prince of Bel Air. Straight up Best Tea. No questions...that is unless Dax loses his mind and gives this brew something unthinkable.

Rating: A+

Dax: The Fall season calls for great tasting teas, and Mighty Leaf don't play.  They hit us up with their Orange Dulce tea and my palate suited up for action.  This black tea bass drum has an orange silk reverb that is pleasing to say the least.  The black tea is smooth, and demands ultra-gulps.   I have to say that maximum steepability and drinkability were acheived here. The aftertaste alone is worth three scholarships to Harvard.  Trust an amigo and get your hands on Mighty Leaf Orange Dulce, this dessert tea is primetime.

Mighty Leaf Green Tea Tropical - Show Your Taste Buds A Good Time

Mike: Mighty Leaf Green Tea Tropical can really only be described by one word: majestic. The Mighty Leaf teabag is carefully crafted for optimal steepability while the leaves themselves are some of the largest grain bagged tea I have come across. This Mighty Leaf Tea does not pull any unexpected punches. The taste is as smooth as silk and I would not change a single thing about it. Exhibiting a sort of natural sweetness typical of a fresh quality tea, this Mighty Leaf Green Tea shines brighter than many of its competitors. Definitely a top tea. Let me catch my breath after this Mighty Leaf tea review that got me so exasperated.
Rating: A+

Dax: Mighty Leaf Green Tea Tropical is more than green tea with tropical notes, it is a symphony of harmonious flavors enveloped in a biodegradable bag that only gets better with time. This my first Mighty Leaf tea and hopefully this flavorful trend continues. The green tea flavor was light but fulfilling, and the fruity hints were very delectable. Some teas just make you feel on point, and this is a contender for feel-good tea of the Summer.
