Spiced Orange - Loose Leaf Tea

Warm, Flavorful Tea That's Perfect Any Time of Day. I really enjoyed this herbal tea. The combination of orange, cinnamon, and ginger creates a warm, comforting flavor, while the hibiscus adds a light fruity note that keeps it from tasting too heavy. Everything blends together nicely without one ingredient overpowering the others.

Since it's caffeine-free, I like having a cup in the evening when I want something relaxing. The loose leaf tea brews well, and the aroma while it's steeping is just as enjoyable as the flavor.

The resealable pouch keeps the tea fresh, and a little goes a long way. This is a flavorful herbal blend that's great for anyone who enjoys a smooth, naturally spiced tea without caffeine.

My Husband's New Favorite Evening Tea. My husband has really been enjoying this herbal tea. One of the main reasons he wanted to try it was because it's caffeine free, and it has become a great option for relaxing in the evening without worrying about it affecting his sleep. The blend of orange, cinnamon, ginger, and other herbs creates a warm, comforting flavor that's perfect on cooler days. He says it's flavorful without being too strong and has a wonderful aroma while brewing. The loose-leaf tea looks fresh, and the resealable pouch helps keep it that way. Overall, this is a high-quality herbal tea that he would happily order again.

Viante Tea is Always a Hit. This tea is warm on the throat and is so pleasant!

Premium Tea That Tastes Great!. I like tea. I like spiced tea. The Viante Spiced Orange Herbal Tea serves the purpose. It has a wonderful flavor, a combination of Rosehip, Cinnamon, Ginger, Turmeric, Hibiscus and Orang Peel producing a tangy caffeine free drink. Served hot or cold, it tastes great! It is pouch less meaning you get to experience the full flavor of this product. It comes in a smartly designed resealable bag that yields approximately 33 tea bags based on 3 grams per serving. This is a premium priced product and in my opinion a good value. I like it. Recommend.

Strong but pleasant fruity flavor with warm spices the the background.. Up for review is a bag of Viante brand "spiced orange" loose leaf tea, 3.5 oz in a resealable pouch.

I drink a lot of black tea, occasional green tea, too much coffee entirely, and late in the day I like herbal tea that doesn't have caffeine in it. And I prefer naturally caffeine free teas--which are, of course, not "tea" at all in most cases but other flavorful blends of dried herbs, fruit and spices. This tea is billed as a "spiced orange," and also contains cinnamon, ginger, hibiscus and rose hip. The star of the show is intended to be the orange, presumably, which comes in the form of orange peel and "natural orange flavor," which is not mentioned in the product listing ingredients but is mentioned on the bag. Turmeric is also present, but not "clove" which is mentioned in the product photos but doesn't appear in the ingredient list.

This is a loose "leaf" tea, meaning you aren't going to find bags in there. You'll need to use an infuser or, like I did in my video, strain the tea before consuming. The material will float at the top of your cup, otherwise, and you'll get it in your mouth, which isn't pleasant.

I was impressed with the color of this tea, despite not having artificial colors, it has a brilliant red hue. Turmeric is a powerful coloring agent in and of itself, and the rose hips might be adding to the color, too. I was also impressed with the smell of this tea in the bag--very pungent and appealing fragrance of warm spices. It seems to be much fresher than the smell of grocery store style bagged herbal teas. Tasting this, I was really impressed at how much flavor comes across with only 3g of tea steeped in a small volume of water. The flavors are very big without being bitter at all. It seems like a fresher overall product than I am used to, which may well have to do with the fact that it's sealed well by the pouch, but also has to do with the "loose leaf" format. As you can see in my video, the tea hasn't been heavily pulverized for use in a bag and the pieces are fairly large which creates less surface area for oxidation. The flavor itself was a pleasant surprise. I always expect cinnamon and ginger to be overpowering. A little goes a long way, but they are more supporting players here and the majority of the flavor, for me, was fruit. Oddly enough, orange didn't jump out as much as something along the lines of strawberry or red raspberry. The cinnamon adds some nice warmth like you might taste in a pie, though this tea is great unsweetened. It's also really good cold if hot tea doesn't sound appealing in the summer heat.

Overall--this is a great herbal tea and well worth the effort to prepare with an infuser. The biggest strike against is the price. For a lot of people--including me--this is more than I'd usually be willing to spend on herbal tea, but the quality is so much better than usual, and a little goes a long way, so you may find the value to be worth it.
