Toasted Sesame from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon43 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 2nd, 2012
The aroma of the leaves and the tea itself are very bland, no toasted sesame at all just a vague burnt smell.
Sadly I found this tea disappointing, it tastes like a decent black tea but there is not sesame taste except for a vague burnt taste. I was hoping for a bold sesame taste but did not get that.
Almond Oolong from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 2nd, 2012
The initial aroma of the leaves is unmistakably almond, sadly I do not smell any Oolong at first and that made me a bit hesitant. After brewing the smell of almond subsides and the oolong shows itself. The taste is very mild, light almond and Oolong flavors for an overall subtle tea.

Genmai Cha from Hime
Style: Genmaicha – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 2nd, 2012
This was the first Genmai Cha that I ever had years ago, so it has a real nostalgia value even though I have had better it is still a favorite. The aroma is really mild and slightly nutty and you get more rice than tea. The tea is also really mild but the longer you steep the tea the more the flavor bursts out, luckily...

Wild Snow Sprout Tea from Wild Tea Qi
Style: Green Tea – Region: Yunnan, China87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 29th, 2012
This tea is completely unlike anything else I've tried. It has a lot going on in the aroma, and almost defies description.
I notice a smoky quality, almost like a hint of that campfire smoke of Lapsang souchong, paired with a hint of camphor, like in raw Pu-erh. But upon drinking, it is more floral and honey-like,...
Tung Ting from Teas Etc
Style: Jade Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 27th, 2012
Very complex. Light, but bold.
Aroma is simultaneously floral and herbal. Strong, almost orchid-like fragrances emerge and vanish from an herbaceous background.
Even when unsweetened, it tastes like a bit of honey has been added.
This is one of the best examples of this tea that I've seen in this price range...
Fire Ginseng from Rishi Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 27th, 2012
With a full body; the fire ginseng tea was a preferred late night tea to drink, Being it having no caffeine. While waiting for it to steep it was clear you had your hands on a strong, well bodied tea that really packed a bite. Good with nothing in it I highly recommend this tea to anyone who can still find it, as I hea...

was given a tin of this as a gift by a friend who knows my tea-drinking habits very well ;) the tin has been empty for quite a long time now (it's too cute to toss out) and it still smells of tea. absolutely the best irish breakfast i have ever tried. was very sorry to see it go!

Original Blend (Green Label) from Barry's Tea
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 27th, 2012
smells like heaven. i have tried my share of Irish Breakfasts, it's one of my favorite kinds of tea. this is up there with the best. it's hard to stop at one cup, even on days when i've sworn to myself to tone down the caffiene! more than satisfies the craving i often have for a nice, solid cup of tea.

Peppermint from Adagio Teas
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 25th, 2012
This was among the highest-quality of the commercial pure peppermint herbal teas that I've sampled, from a tea company. Quality-wise, it is about on par with Two Leaves and a Bud's, but the price point is markedly lower. It still pales in comparison with the stuff I've grown in my own garden.
Aroma is strongly pep...
White Peony (Bai Mu Dan) from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Nov. 24th, 2012
I don't like this tea as much as the white peony that I usually drink (Prince of Peace) because it tastes greener, and I don't like green tea. It's also more expensive. I added cream and sugar.

A-Li-Son Oolong Tea from Tradition
Style: High Mountain Oolong – Region: Chiayi (County), Taiwan80 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 24th, 2012
I thought this tea was very good for its price! It was smooth and reminded me a little of chicken soup (odd, I know, but it had a comforting quality!) I'll definitely be having this tea again! :)

Golden Monkey Black Tea from Teavana
Style: Golden Monkey – Region: Fujian, China93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 24th, 2012
Rich full body black tea low in tannins and found the tea needed very little sugar on its own. Holds well if cream is added without being watery and flavorless. I found it is delicious paired with Teavana Aztec Fire or Caramel Almond Biscotti

Gyokuro Imperial Green Tea from Teavana
Style: Gyokuro – Region: Japan93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 24th, 2012
one of the best teas Teavana offers. Healthy for its high chlorophyll and antioxidants. Delicious and stands up to multiple steepings with great flavor. Brews a light yellow green at 140 for 45 seconds to 1 minute

Panyang Golden Tips from Harney and Sons
Style: Panyang Congou – Region: Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 20th, 2012
Wiry leaf has a good amount of golden tip. I was surprised by the dark color of the liquor produced by these light golden leaves. The picture Harney provided looks a bit deceptive--I found it brews much darker.
Aroma is intensely cocoa-ey and chocolatey. Almost tastes like a cup of unsweetened cocoa. Reminiscent...
Earl Grey Imperial from Harney and Sons
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 20th, 2012
Among the best examples of an Earl Grey that I've sampled yet.
This Earl Grey has a bold base tea with its own unique character evident. The base tea tastes like a mixture of Assam and Keemun-style teas: rich, dark, robust, and with a warming quality. It tastes like the base tea would make a strong and high-qualit...
Tropical Crimson (Tropical Hibiscus) from Rishi Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend27 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Nov. 19th, 2012
This tea has a strong, almost overwhelmingly fruity aroma. The flavor caught me by surprise because it's overwhelmed by ginger. If you love ginger, you might like this tea. I think it's mis-labelled. It says "with a hint of spice" on the package.

Blueberry Rooibos from Rishi Tea
Style: Fruit Rooibos – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 19th, 2012
Dry leaf has an intensely fruity aroma; aroma of the brewed cup is a bit more subdued. Flavor is moderately sour and slightly sweet, a little suggestive of unsweetened cranberry juice, and faintly suggestive of spiced cider.
I tend not to like predominately fruity blends like this, and I found this quite drinkable ...
Famous Edinburgh from Brodies
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 19th, 2012
A quite balanced black tea with a dark, almost slightly musty and round flavour. Aroma is mildly earthy and sweet. A good pick-up in the morning or after lunch, but a bit too strong for drinking in the evening.

Superb Black Tea from The Excellent Tea Company
Style: Black Tea – Region: Rwanda67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 16th, 2012
I thought this tea was a good basic black, and it is pretty inexpensive too! I drank it straight without cream or sugar and didn't find it too strong (although I do like a good cup of strong black tea so my tastes may be different from some!). I'd be more apt to keep this tea around as a basic black over Lipton, and ...

Imperial Assam (Tea Bags) from Hampstead Tea
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 15th, 2012
Brews a very dark color, but flavor is surprisingly light (although still stronger than most light-colored teas). Tastes a lot more like high-grown Ceylon tea than like most Assam.
Aroma suggestive of spices and sweet rice, with quite a strong wood presence (like oak and cedar, unlike most teas). Peppery and punge...
Golden Monkey (Jin Hou) from Silk Road Teas
Style: Golden Monkey – Region: Fujian, China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 15th, 2012
Not as good as the offer carried by SpecialTeas but not a bad substitute. Far cheaper than TeaVana. Not quite as full-bodied as S.T.'s but similar in the cocoa\chocolaty flavor.

Nov. 9th, 2012
This is a delicious version of Earl Grey. I'm very glad that it's organic since I'm paranoid about those sorts of things. The flavor is mild, but delicious and soothing.

Luxury Blend Tea from Chai Bora
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tanzania87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5

Love this tea. Went to Tanzania for one month and drank only this tea.
I got some tea bag to bring home but I'm running out :(
Mojito Marmalade from Tea Forte
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 8th, 2012
This is a good tea. It’s the perfect blend of orange and mint. Tea Forte did well striking the balance without this tasting artificial.
Here’s the thing: mojitos are my favorite mixed drink. I would LOVE to try this tea with lime rather than orange. Although I enjoy oranges and mint on their own, I don’t ador...
Citron Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 7th, 2012
This tea impressed me, and I'll say it is not only the only citrus-flavored green tea that I have really enjoyed, but it is also my favorite flavored tea from Adagio yet!
The dry leaf has a strong aroma of lime and citronella, but upon brewing, the citrus aroma is more subdued.
The aroma has a pleasing, grassy an...
