English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 12th, 2013
I thought this tea uninteresting. As an English Breakfast tea, I strongly prefer Twinings Ceylon Orange Pekoe. If they labelled that tea as their English Breakfast, I'd be perfectly convinced.
This tea has a very bold flavor. It is quite bitter--more so than astringent, which I like. Produces a clear cup with a ...
Irish Breakfast from Twinings

I like this tea. It's strong. It doesn't seem very notable. I added cream and sugar.

Jasmine Black Tea from Ahmad Tea
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: ?????83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 12th, 2013
I regularly drink jasmine green tea, and this jasmine-scented black tea was a completely new experience for me. It was very different, and a bit odd at first, but as I've drunk more of it (I'm glad I got a half pound) I've come to like it very much.
Dry leaf has a potent but smooth jasmine aroma. I don't notice mu...
English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 11th, 2013
I'm not crazy about the flavor of this tea. It's a little bitter, and very sensitive to brewing time. I brewed it for 2 minutes and that seems to be optimal. I usually brew tea for at least 4 minutes because I like it strong. I added cream and sugar.

Bancha Tea from Frontier
Style: Bancha – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 11th, 2013
A drinkable and inexpensive green tea with a mild flavor. I tried this shortly after Wegmans' bancha; the leaf of this tea is more intact, but the dry leaf is not particularly aromatic. I prefer Wegmans' offering even though it is more broken.
Brews a golden color cup with a lot of dust at the bottom. Mild aroma....
Irish Breakfast from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 10th, 2013
This is a pretty decent, strong black tea bag. I don't quite like it as much as Twinings' Ceylon Orange Pekoe, but it's close, and it's bolder tasting. The teabag contains fine dust, but it produces a good flavor.
Aroma is malty and rich; a few of the wintergreen tones I so love in tea, and the finish is mostly of...
Coconut Oolong from Spice and Tea Exchange
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 8th, 2013
This is very interesting tea. The only coconut tea I had been exposed to prior to this one was the "Zingiber Ginger Coconut Rooibos Tea" from Teavanna. In that tea, the coconut gives it a very smooth flavor, but the tea itself doesn't taste particularly like coconut as much as it just tastes sweet. This tea, on the oth...

Chai Masala Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 3rd, 2013
I usually like chai, but I don't like this tea much. The flavor is kind of bland - I had to brew it for a long time (7 minutes). I can't taste the black tea. The flavor is kind of overpowered by tulsi, which I don't like much in this context, and I don't think it goes well with the spices. I added cream and sugar.

Earl Grey from London Naturals
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5

I like this tea. It has a nice balance of flavor, and a strong base tea. I added cream and sugar.

Chai Spice Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 29th, 2013
The spicy smell of chai is pretty much always pleasing to me, so I appreciated that this tea delivered. The only downside was that the flavor of the tea was a little sour, but this dissipated as the tea sat. Overall, I thought the tea was good, but nothing terribly outstanding. I'd have it at a coffee shop if it was...

Black Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????27 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 9th, 2013
This is an absolute shocker and I'm quite sure one of the reasons tea has never taken off in the States and on the continent. Probably the most widdly tasting tea widely available. You could get exactly the same effect by throwing the grass clippings from your lawnmower into a bucket of water.
If anyone offers you t...
English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 9th, 2013
To be honest this really doesn't do a lot for me and sadly it's the usual offering in cafes and teashops here if you ask for an English Breakfast. Never brews up strong enough for my tastes, and it's a fairly insipid flavour. To be honest, It won't offend but it's not going to blow your socks off and wow you either. I ...

Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls Green Tea from Teavana
Style: Jasmine Pearls – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 9th, 2013
This struck me as a solid-quality Jasmine tea, but nothing extraordinary.
Unlike many of Teavana's offerings, it's on the strong side.
Flavor is smooth, but there is a bitter undertone. To me, this tea felt fairly strongly caffeinated. Aroma is perfumey, more than I like it to be. The base tea is very mild and...
Green Tea Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 8th, 2013
For some reason, I did not expect to like this one, I think in large part because I've had pretty bad experiences with finely-broken green tea in tea bags, and I also don't see Tulsi's characteristic flavor and aroma blending as well with green teas as I think it does with black tea.
Although I still wasn't crazy ab...
Organic Peppermint (Teabags) from Harney and Sons
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 28th, 2013
This is by far the most powerful peppermint tea I ever had, one notch above Bigelow! It's exceptional, it smells and feels amazing!

Monkey Picked Oolong Tea from Teavana
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: ?????83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 22nd, 2013
I will first start off by saying that this tea is well over priced at Teavana. I can buy the same quality Ti Kuan Yin elsewhere for around $4.00-$4.50 per ounce. With that being said, this is one of the best Oolong teas out there. I do find though that you really either love this tea, or you hate it. I love it, my wife...

Vanilla Caramel Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 19th, 2013
I like the aroma of this tea, but it reminds me a little bit of those buttered-popcorn-flavored jelly beans. I can't brew it strong enough. I kind of like the flavor, but it also seems kind of bland. I added cream and sugar.

Irish Breakfast from Twinings

Feb. 17th, 2013
When I first wake up, I don't have it in me to be a tea snob, carefully sniffing out the grassy hay notes in obscure Chinese teas. It's not what I crave at that hour, and the subtlety would be lost on me anyway.
So, with breakfast I usually like some kind of milky, sweetened, very strong black tea. A breakfast blend...
Spiced Rooibos from Equo

Fantastic tea! It was especially fantastic when I was home with the flu because it was extremely soothing. I tried to but it online, but was unable to find it anywhere.

Black Tea from Salada
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????30 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 30th, 2013
Salada's original blend appears to be weak to us, as though they put less tea in the bags. We used it for years and years. But it no longer has a robust flavor or aroma in your cup, let alone a second cup. While visiting Canada recently we affirmed this criticism while enjoying Canada's version of a cup of tea. Up...

Berry Rooibos from Epi Tea
Style: Fruit Rooibos – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 13th, 2013
I wasn't that impressed with this tea, and for its price, I probably won't be buying it. I didn't like the syrupy texture and didn't care for the berry flavoring.

Yerba Mate, Loose from Wegmans
Style: Yerba Maté – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 8th, 2013
I was not impressed by this Yerba mate. I'm no expert in Mate but I've tried a variety of sources, green and roasted, and this one is probably the worst I've tried of all the green yerba mate I've sampled.
The dry leaf is very finely broken, full of fine dust, which makes brewing quite messy. Not particularly arom...
Spiced Rooibos from Equo
Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: ?????87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 7th, 2013
This is the best caffeine free tea I have tasted - not weak at all!
I received a box as a gift and haven't been able to find it anywhere. I am hoarding my remaining bags.
BTW - the region is West South Africa
Wuppertal, located west of the Cedarburg mountains in South Africa’s Cape province
Milk Oolong from thepuriTea
Style: Milky Oolong – Region: ?????100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 4th, 2013
My first review and my first Milk Oolong and I'm head over heels in LOVE. Mmmm the smell and flavor are heavenly like milk candies. Very silky, creamy and buttery. I don't really detect any floral notes but there is some vegetal and it is good for quite a few resteeps about 5 or 6. I love this tea!!

Style: Fruit Rooibos – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 3rd, 2013
A pleasant, creamy and smooth berry-flavored herbal blend.
I thought this was a very balanced blend, but it was on the weak side. I think Epi Tea could get away with using about twice as much leaf.
Thankfully, this wasn't too sour. A lot of berry blends that go heavy on the hibiscus taste too sour to me. This ...
