This tea tastes mostly like mint. I can't really taste the tea, but I like the flavor of the mint. It does have a smooth taste. I added cream and sugar.

White Tea - Vanilla - Decaffeinated from Good Earth Teas

Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: Blend

40 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 17th, 2011

This tea tastes very different from the way it smelled while I was brewing it. It smelled predominantly like lemongrass (the 2nd ingredient) and I thought it was going to be horrible, but it actually tastes all right. It reminds me of that sugar cookie tea. The flavors are strong, and I can barely taste the white tea a...

Shoumei White Tea from Foojoy

Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: China

87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 12th, 2011

This tea is really good. I drink it practically every day, and I like it better now than I did before. It brews really dark for a white tea. I only had to brew it for a couple of minutes, and with other white teas it takes me a lot longer to get enough flavor out of them. This one has a strong flavor that I like. It's ...

Hazelnut Truffle from Tea Forte

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 25th, 2011

This tea is very good. It has a sweet flavor that at first I thought was a little overwhelming. I usually add cream and sugar to my tea, but when I did a second infusion, I only added cream, and it tasted better. It's rare that I find a tea that tastes good without added sweetener. The flavors blend very well.

Chai White Tea from Stash Tea

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????

70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 15th, 2011

I steeped this tea for 6 minutes to make it strong enough. When I first tasted it, I thought it was a little too tangy for my taste, and that the combination of chai spices with white tea was a little weird. I can't taste the spices much, though, for a chai tea. I added cream and sugar. After I had been drinking it for...

Coconut Chai Black from Zhena's Gypsy Tea

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend

40 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Apr. 22nd, 2011

This is not what I was expecting. It doesn't seem very much like chai, but it has this sweet aroma that reminds me of hot mulled cider. The flavor tastes almost repulsive to me, like flour, or some spice I don't recognize that reminds me of bad-tasting cookie dough. Kind of bitter and sweet, but in a way that clashes. ...

Apr. 10th, 2011

There's something a little off about this kind of tea. It has this sickly sweet flavor that I don't know how to describe. I added sugar and cream.

Chai Green Tea from Stash Tea

73 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 9th, 2011

When I first tried this tea, I thought it was reallly good. I wasn't expecting it because I'm not a big fan of green tea, but I do love chai. I thought it was really good for a chai tea. But it takes a really long time to brew. Now that I've been drinking it for a while, I don't like the flavor so much anymore. I don't...

Bengal Spice Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????

17 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Apr. 7th, 2011

I'm a big fan of chai, so I would have thought this tea would be good, except I tried it because my friend said it was terrible. I was open to liking it, but she was right. It has an overwhelming flavor of cinnamon, looming to suck its victims into a drowning cinnamon abyss. I had about 3 sips of it, with added sugar a...

This tea is pretty good, but the cinnamon overpowers it a little. It also has a strong scent of cloves. I like to drink it with cream and sugar.

It tastes a little weak for the recommended 3 minute steep time, but a good balance of tea and spices. It smells predominantly like tea. I like to drink it with cream and sugar.

Apr. 4th, 2011

I like this tea a lot, even though I didn't follow the steeping instructions exactly for the perfect cup, which involve dancing with a loved one while the tea is steeping. But the tea still turned out very good. I like to drink it with sugar and cream.

This tea is very good. It smells a little bit smoky. It tastes rich and creamy. I always drink my chai with cream and sugar, but this tea tastes creamier than other teas do when I add cream.

This tea has a pleasant vanilla flavored aroma. It's very good. It has a perfect blend of spices, although a little more cinnamon that I would like. I had to steep it for 6 minutes to get it strong enough, and with most teas I only need 3 minutes. I like to drink it with cream and sugar.

This is a pretty good chai tea, but not as good as other ones I've had. A little heavy on the black pepper - it makes it taste a little funny. I like to drink it with cream, sugar, and vanilla.
