Smoked Maple from Shanti Tea
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 22nd, 2013
This is a preliminary rating based on the smell alone - I just got a sample of this loose-leaf tea and can't wait to brew some up. I bet it'd be great in the winter as you can smell a sweet maple scent and as Sylvia mentioned a faint whisper of smoky wood. It looks appealing visually as well. I will update this revi...

Fengqing Golden Buds Ripened Pu-erh Cake Tea 2005 from TeaVivre
Style: Ripened (Shou) Pu-erh – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
May. 21st, 2013
I've had shu (ripened) Pu-erh of this age that I thought was exquisite, like the 2005 Jing Mai Autumnal I got from Tao of Tea, so I know it exists, but this cake didn't do it for me. I had a generous amount of samples, enough to experiment a bit with brewing, but I still didn't like it. The dry leaf has an aroma typi...

The People's Green Decaf from Republic of Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: China67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 21st, 2013
For a bagged tea this was fine - just as good as Tazo's China Green Tips and many others. Slightly vegetal/green qualities and very good hot.

China Green Tips Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China58 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 19th, 2013
A decent bagged tea available everywhere (and I mean EVERYWHERE) that Starbucks is served - offices, Barnes & Noble, airports, even the local library - I can get a quick cup of this in a pinch. Vegetal and green - a bit "dry" tasting - so I add sweetener sometimes. (For shame, I know!) I love green teas but this is j...

White Peony (Bai Mu Dan) from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 16th, 2013
I had this at a day spa and loved it - so I actually bought a box of the bags. Took me a while to get through but I really like the floral, green and "stemmy" notes of this conveniently bagged tea. Smells great.

Dragon Pearl Jasmine from Harney and Sons
Style: Jasmine Pearls – Region: Fujian, China87 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
May. 16th, 2013
Delicious but expensive. Smells so great in the tin. Floral notes (Duh - it's a jasmine!) and a a pale-greenish brew brew upon a short steep. Do not over-steep this one.
I enjoy watching the little balls unfurl as the water hits them. I have never tried this on ice - but I imagine it'd be good. Oh, I love Jasmin...
Organic Spring Jasmine from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
May. 16th, 2013
Really, Alex? I love this one - maybe I am just a noob - but I used to get this at a local coffee shop in the morning and I just LOVED it. Mild green flavor and a huge bag size. I also like the Green Tea Tropical (Which is more like straight fruit).

Superfine Tan Yang Gong Fu Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Black Tea – Region: Fu'an, Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 15th, 2013
I thought this tea was exquisite and would drink it again! The flavor was smooth and rich with no bitter aftertaste -- excellent quality in my book. It had a peculiar taste for an oolong, to me it seemed to have a more complex flavor than others that I've tried. I have my own personal hangup with the price, as it do...

Nonpareil Te Gong Huang Shan Mao Feng Green Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Huangshan, Anhui, China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 14th, 2013
Very smooth, but not aromatic enough for me when brewed.
As usual with TeaVivre, the dry leaf is intensely aromatic, suggesting sweet and umami flavors. The leaf looks to consist exclusively of tips, with two very tiny leaves attached to a bud, the leaves hardly bigger than than the bud itself. Upon brewing though...
Lapsang Souchong from ITO EN
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Fujian, China57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 13th, 2013
Sorry - I just don't care for Lapsang Souchang (smoked) teas in general - and Ito En's is no exception - but that said - if you like smokey back teas with a strong aroma and a full-body when brewed (best served hot - it's just not an "icing" tea) - give Ito En's a try.

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'!

Superfine Anxi Qing Xiang TieGuanYin Oolong Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Anxi, Fujian, China97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 9th, 2013
A very green oolong with a strong and lasting orchid aroma. Among my favorite green oolongs ever sampled.
A few years ago, when I knew considerably less about tea, someone brought a little packet of tea back from China and gave it to my mother as a gift. It was unbranded, marked only with "Guan Yin Wang", and had ...
Organic White Peony from Premium Steap
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
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
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China73 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
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.

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.

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...

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...

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...
Yun Nan Gold from Two Hills Tea
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 22nd, 2013
This tea has a kind of salty flavor. It's pretty good. I added cream and sugar.

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...

Fengqing Paddy Flavor Raw Pu-erh Cake Tea 2006 from TeaVivre
Style: Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 16th, 2013
I found this tea to be a very enjoyable Pu-erh, typical for its age and unusual only in the degree to which it produced a tingling and numbing sensation on the palate.
I received a sample which was a mostly-whole piece broken off a Pu-erh cake. The leaves were largely intact and it was very easy to break apart with...
