Earl Grey Decaffeinated from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????33 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
May. 13th, 2013
Yech! I am not an Earl Grey fan to begin with and this one not only has synthetic Bergamot notes (Think limonene from a lab!) it is also decaf and not worth drinking. Sorry, Twinings, but this bagged tea is not my fave at all! Stash makes a better one - but I hate that, too.
Earl Grey - it's just not my bag!
Black Currant from Tea Forte
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
May. 13th, 2013
Super expensive (as all the cutesy-packaged Tea Forte teas are!) but so deliciously fruity and easy to drink. (You can get 2 cups easily out of a bag - so keep that in mind. Needs no sweetener. Very good for first-time tea drinkers and the adorable packaging (and high price) make it a suitable hostess gift. Fun. (S...

Jasmine Silver Needle from Adagio Teas
Style: Jasmine Silver Needle – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
May. 13th, 2013
I love Jasmine - but this Silver needle is not quite as good as Ito-En's. Adagio teas I usually get online and they are pricey plus you have to pay for shipping. That said, I love this tea - and its floral whisper-soft grassy green-ness. Best served hot (IMHO) and without sweeteners or embellishments.

Jasmine Silver Needle from ITO EN
Style: Jasmine Silver Needle – Region: Fujian, China70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 13th, 2013
I love Jasmine-style teas and Ito En's is no exception. Brewed loose-leaf in a diffuser or tea ball is best served hot - not sweetener or lemon required. Grassy, floral and light bodies. Easy to drink. Harder to find outside of NYC and LA.(and of course, Japan).

Jasmine Petal from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China77 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
May. 13th, 2013
Love 2 Leaves & A Bud - and the cute bags/packaging. Even better? The tea itself is pretty darned good - especially the Jasmine Petal (green based). Grassy and floral and not bitter. Easy to drink - and great hot or on ice - with or without a bit of honey or lemon. Good sippin'!

Blackberry Sage from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 13th, 2013
I love this tea - second only to Ginger Peach fom the same company - and it comes loose or in bags. Fruity, herbaceous and black/caffeinated - although the decaf version is nice also. Great iced or hot.

Irish Breakfast from Fortnum & Mason
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
May. 13th, 2013
Fortnum and Mason teas - especially the Black,strong Irish breakfast, brings back memories of England for me. This will wake you up for sure - and I need sugar or honey in it - and is better hot than iced in my opinion. (true Brits would put milk it this.)

Original (Black Tea) from Red Rose Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 13th, 2013
Inexpensive, black caffeinated and readily available. Not a fan - but some offices still stock this for free (though Lipton is very popular as well). CHEAP! Slightly bitter - and very, very black.

Gypsy Cold Care® from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 13th, 2013
Gypsy Cold Care is another choice from Traditional Medicinals (I prefer Throat Coat) to take when you are feeling sick. This is not a "recreational" tea - but if you have nasal congestion or a cough - this is helpful. Full of menthol - so beware of that. Add some honey if you wish.

Throat Coat® from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 13th, 2013
When you are sick - especially if you have a Sore throat - you MUST try Throat Coat from Traditional Medicinals - available in most health food stores. It is loaded with Slippery Elm bark and literally helps coat and soother a sore throat. While, I don't drink this "recreationally" I love it when I am sick.

Lemon Lift Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Lemon Black Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 5th, 2013
Not a fan of Bieglow Teas - but my old company had them and Lemon Lift was better (to me) than the dreaded "Constant Comment" - an orange/spice. Just OK. Not a fan. I actually like the I love Lemon herbal tea (which is a tisane and contains no tea at all) a bit better when I have a cold. This is a step about Lipton...

Darjeeling #1 (Darjeeling Sungma Spring) from Adagio Teas
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
May. 5th, 2013
I love Darjeeling - and the "first flush" is expensive as heck. Adagio s a reliable source - but Republic of Tea also has a good one. (Loose only).Caffeinated and great in the morning.

Ginger Peach Green Tea from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
May. 5th, 2013
I love this bagged tea - yes, I know there are even better out there - but I keep comingback to ROT and their ginger peach green and black varieties. Great iced or hot. Subtly ginger-y and sweet without adding sugar.

Organic White Peony from Premium Steap

May. 5th, 2013
Delicious but pricey this light tea is great both hot or over ice. If you are ever in Philly visit STEAP. It's a great tea shop and the lady who owns it is really knowledgeable.

May. 4th, 2013
Overpriced - plus their NYC shop quickly opened and closed in a flash about 9 years ago - but this was fun to try. Grassy but not bitter. Smooth and easy to drink hot. Never tried it iced.

Jasmine Green from Tea Forte

May. 4th, 2013
Super over-priced but the cute packaging is fun. This is one of my favorite from Tea Forte - but I am a huge Jasmine/Green fan in general. Richly scented with jasmine so it is floral and sweet smelling. Very good hot.

Red Zinger Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 4th, 2013
Not a big fan but it is better over ice than hot (in my opinion) naturally decaf and full of fruity and hibiscus notes. Super easy to find. Sweet and sour. (Sweet aroma, sour taste). Not a fave.

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.

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!
