Ingredient: Apple, rosehips, strawberry leaves, raspberry leaves, elderberries, safflower, cornflower, sunflower petals,cherries, bramble berries.
Steep time: 7 minutes Amount: 1.5 tsp per 12 oz Sweenter:A little honey Smell: sweet earthy Color: light green Stars: 4/5
Taste: Unfortunately, this tea is no longer available at Tevana but it is one of my favorite diet teas. With a strong green tea taste that is still sweet. With mild caffeine this tea gives me the energy I need before my work out!
Bottomline: one of my favorite diet teas. Sweet and earthy the perfect pre-workout tea.

Sakura Allure (Teavana)

Ingredients: green tea, hibiscus, cherries, candied mango, candied pineapple, bamboo leaves, rose blossom, lemon peel, rosebuds, cranberries
Steep Time: 7 minutes Amount: 1.5 tsp per 14oz Smell: sweet and earthy Color: pinkish tint Sweeteners: none Stars: 3/5
Taste: weak! This tea has a very weak flavor, like watered down hibiscus. Green tea is listed as the first ingredient but I don't taste any green tea. I see a lot of bamboo leave though and I can taste them slightly. 
Bottomline: This tea disappoints it has nice flavor it's just really weak
