Darjeeling Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 4th, 2013
I love Darjeeling - and the good stuff (first flush) is pricey - so I tried a box of this (cheap!) but you get what you pay for. Very ordinary - but the bags make it portble and it's better than the Lipton swill my office provides.

Chai Tea from Frontier
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 3rd, 2013
This tea is very aromatic. Even the dry leaf, inside a zip lock bag, emanates its aroma. I like the blend of spices. The flavor is a little more spicy than I'd like relative to the strength of the tea, but overall, I like it. I added cream and sugar.

Ginger Peach from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 3rd, 2013
Love this and the decaf one. Lightly scented of Ginger - but a wonderful peachy top-note without that "artificial" peachy taste. Love this one - and I don't usually do black teas.
This might be my favorite tea ever!
Ginger Peach Decaf from Republic of Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend94 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 3rd, 2013
I love this tea - sweet, peachy (without tasting of artificial peach) and a whisper of ginger (slightly lemony when served hot). Great hot or over iced. A winner for me.

Green Ginger from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 3rd, 2013
It's OK but not a holy grail. Zippy with Ginger but the green underneath is Tazo's ubiquitous grassy/mild green-generic. OK. Not great.

Zen Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 3rd, 2013
Tazo is carried in Starbucks and is very available and moderately priced. Zen has a green tea base with notes of mint and cintrus. Very good over ice. A solid pick for every-day green tea. I actually prefer this to the China Green Tips (the plain green Tazo that Starbucks carries). Both are good in a pinc (airport,...

Genmaicha from ITO EN
Style: Genmaicha – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 3rd, 2013
The genmaicha is relatively grassy tasting with a bit of bitterness - but is still pleasant enough and certainly cheap enough to enjoy regularly. Good but not a holy grail.

Organic Irish Breakfast Black Tea from Wegmans
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: India67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 1st, 2013
I thought this tea was good, but I was expecting it to be a little stronger since it's Irish Breakfast. Surprisingly, if you are looking for a strong brew of tea from Wegmans, I'd recommend the Organic Assam over this.
This tea had a subtle roasted taste, with a bit of a nutty flavor, and it had a smooth pleasing t...
Houjicha Tea from Mountain Rose Herbs
Style: Hojicha – Region: China93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 29th, 2013
A nutty and fruity hojicha, subtly aromatic. This is my favorite example of this type of tea yet...which surprises me because it's from China.
The dry leaf looks dark and has a fairly strong roasted aroma, but there's not much roastiness in the aroma of the brewed cup. Instead, I sense mostly nutty and fruity qual...
Ureshino Tama Ryokucha from Wegmans
Style: Tamaryokucha (Guricha) – Region: Saga, Japan80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 29th, 2013
A high-end Japanese green tea, which I found infuses fast and is tricky to steep more than once. The first cup is excellent, but I was a bit let down overall, especially with how tough this one is to brew multiple times.
This tea was so similar to Wegmans' Okumidori Sencha in color and smell (and was the same exact...
Assam Organic Tea from Wegmans
Style: Assam – Region: India67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 29th, 2013
The flavor of this tea was a bit smokey and burnt for my taste, but I liked the tea overall. I was especially impressed at how strong the tea was from a small amount of leaf. The price was also extremely reasonable.

Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 29th, 2013
I enjoyed the strong flavor of this tea and thought that it was a good brew. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the smell. The smell of Bergamot is one of my favorite things about Earl Grey, and this tea didn't deliver. I liked the tea overall, and look forward to trying other styles from Twinings.

Houjicha Green Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Hojicha – Region: Japan80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 28th, 2013
I've never had Houjicha before, so I don't have a baseline to compare to. But, I really enjoyed this tea. A mild, smokey sweet flavor unlike any other style of green tea.

I like this tea. It's dark and strong, and it has a nice, rich flavor. I added cream and sugar.

Ancient Baked Heart Tea from Wild Tea Qi
Style: Green Tea – Region: Dali, Yunnan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 27th, 2013
Every tea I've had from this company has been singular, more of a fascinatingly complex taste experience that warrants attention and a little bit of ceremony than an 'everyday' tea. This one was no different. And like the other green teas I've tried from this company, it stays tasty and interesting for more infusions t...

Pomegranate & Raspberry from Twinings
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 26th, 2013
I enjoyed this blend much more than I thought I would, and much more than typical for a fruity herbal blend in a tea bag. It's very light and pleasant.
Brews a cup with a pale pink color and a very fruity aroma that I find cloying.
In spite of the off-putting aroma, the flavor is much more subdued and pleasant, ...
Chun Mee Green Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Chun Mee – Region: China67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 24th, 2013
A classic chun mee, pretty much what I'd expect for this type of tea.
Somewhat broken leaf, with a strong refreshing aroma, brews a dark cup. Dry leaf is very aromatic, smelling herbaceous and almost minty.
Aroma of the brewed cup is suggestive of gingerbread and fresh herbs. This tea is tangy, but it's not the...
Organic English Breakfast from Wegmans
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 23rd, 2013
I thought this tea was good for a typical English Breakfast, nothing outstanding. It wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be given that it is loose-leaf tea, but I did enjoy the roasted smell and the heaviness of its consistency. I'd drink it again, but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

This tea has a kind of salty flavor. It's pretty good. I added cream and sugar.

I like this tea. It has a mild flavor, not quite as strong as I sometimes like tea, but still really good. I added cream and sugar.

Assam TGFOPS - Nonaipara from T2 Tea
Style: Assam – Region: Udalguri, Assam, India73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 21st, 2013
A very good, solid Assam. Wonderful aroma when brewed. Not the biggest flavoured nor the most malty Assam I have tried although it does have huge amounts of tannins. An enjoyable brew.

Nightly Calm (Bedtime Blend) from Twinings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 19th, 2013
This tastes a lot like a knock-off of Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime. I love the combination of spearmint and chamomile. It's very good...but I don't like the fact that it's so unoriginal.
The dominant aroma is of spearmint and chamomile...I don't notice either of the lemony herbs very much.
I think Twinings g...
Oriental Beauty Oolong Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Oriental Beauty – Region: Anhui, China43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Apr. 19th, 2013
This tea has an overwhelming honey-like aroma that I find a bit repulsive. I don't like the flavor of honey much, though. I brewed it for 10 minutes to make it strong enough, and the flavor was still pretty subtle and watery-tasting, but it's okay. It's interesting. I don't usually like oolongs much, so I probably like...

Sencha/Matcha Green Tea from Wegmans
Style: Sencha – Region: Japan70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 17th, 2013
A very pleasant and affordable green tea. Strangely potent, given how mild tasting it is.
I tend not to like these matcha-infused teas, preferring either to drink actual matcha or just plain green tea, but this one was better than some of them. I also found that more of the matcha character came out in this tea th...
Assam Tea from Mountain Rose Herbs
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 17th, 2013
Strong, unique, and very afforable!
This was an interesting tea, and completely unlike any other Assam I've sampled. The tea it seemed most similar to, to me, was actually a Keemun from Arbor teas, that was also atypical for its style.
I recommend a brief infusion: it infuses quite fast, and I find it tastes bes...
