Tazo's Earl Grey is a little different from a lot of other Earl Greys. I found it to have a stronger floral scent and a milder in astringency compared to others. Their individual tea packets are sealed in a wax-coated paper packet, which holds the flavour longer. It's also great for people like me who carry about 1-2 loose packets of tea in my bag so I can just order hot water when I'm out, instead of paying another $3 for a tea. Their price point is average among similar products. If on sale, it would be a great value for the quality. -

The Tazo zen has a unique blend of flavours - there's a bit of lemony scent with a stronger mint flavour on a green tea background. For me, when I drink it, the zen part doesn't resonate. It feels more medicinal, and I love this tea when I do feel I'm coming down with a cold. The other thing is, with many teas, I wouldn't mind drinking it hot, slightly cooled, or room temperature. This tea was not pleasant to me when cooled more than slightly - the balance goes off and all I tasted was the mint. Overall, not my favourite tea of Tazo's but decently enjoyable when hot, and I somehow do find myself coming back to it from time to time. If you're a mint tea fan but looking for some variety, you might like this better than me. -

I've used this for several years now, and it is one of my regularly used products. The exfoliating particles are rather large for use on my face though, so I use this as a body scrub for my arms, legs, and feet. It works perfectly at keeping my skin smooth and helps my skin absorb moisturizer from body lotions and creams after use. Smells refreshingly wonderful too. -

I really liked the texture and taste of these. They're thin and crispy, but also very light. They have interesting flavours that veer off from the typical ones of other similar products. The only downside is that I don't really taste the vegetable that's used to make the product. If it's green, I'd like to taste some spinach flavour so I can tell myself it isn't all just food colouring. -

Was able to find boxes of 12 cans for $2.99 at most stores that cell PC products. Price is great, taste is excellent. Does not taste too artificial, and it is very sparkling. It would be very difficult to achieve the same level of fizziness using a home-carbonating machine. No complaints. -

A review based on free sample: it’s a good sunscreen and works as expected. It’s not heavier or thicker than other sunscreens, but also not lighter. It does have the sticky feeling most sunscreens have, but that is to be expected. I haven’t been sunburnt while using it. It’s not really waterproof though, you do have to reapply if you sweat or after water exposure. I’d recommend washing the remaining layer off before reapplying because if you just keep layering it, you’ll end up with a thick gummy layer by the end of the day. -

This is a review based on a free sample received. Ive never used a gel moisturizer before and wasn’t sure what to expect. It definitely feels very light and cooling. I didn’t find it very moisturizing though. Perhaps in the summer on a rainy day this would be a good product for moisturizing, otherwise, it doesn’t offer enough moisturization. I don’t doubt the quality is good, it just doesn’t seem to be all that good at what it advertises to be. Despite the claim of being fragrance-free, there is a mild fragrance, but Not offensive. -

I got this product as a free sample to review. In terms of effectiveness, each towel has a lot of the face cleanser product in it, and it works well. The towels are textured enough to remove stubborn eye-liner and mascara marks, as well as give a feeling of satisfactory cleaning. However, it doesn’t seem as rough as an exfoliant. There is so much product that I usually cut each towel in quarters and use one quarter at a time. Used this way, I find it great value. My only complaint is that the fragrance can be a bit overwhelming. -

I received this a s a free sample to review.
As the title states, the scent was too much. Although the mild floral fragrance didn't seem overwhelming at first, when it's applied to the face, you walk around smelling it constantly throughout the day. In terms of texture, it is similar to most other brands of lotion with SPF, slightly stickier than regular face lotion. It did not cause irritation or redness to my skin (which can sometimes be a bit sensitive to new products), and the SPF was adequate for normal daily wear (no tanning or dryness after sun exposure). For me, there are other moisturizers with SPF that I prefer, that are less potently scented than this.

I received this as a free sample. This is a clear, rather thin (non-viscous) gel. There is a very, very mild, non-offensive floral scent that I didn't detect, but a family member did. To my surprise, it lathers quite a bit when applied to the face. It did leave a clean and refreshed feeling on my skin without irritation or dryness. I found my skin kept moisture well throughout the day. I've used it consistently for 1 week and have noticed my skin is less dry, and without irritation (although this could just be from coincidence of trying this product as the weather warms up in from winter to spring). Nonetheless, it seems to be a pretty good facial cleansing product that I would recommend. -
