Green Tea Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 30th, 2014
Eh. Meh. Maybe I am just not a Tulsi (Holy Basil) girl. I love it in Curries. I love it on chicken - but maybe not as a morning cuppa. Meanwhile It tastes OK - not great and not awful, I think I will need to try a few more tulsi teas before I make a final determination - but at first sip - I'm not lovin' it.

English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 16th, 2014
I actually enjoyed the first & second infusion of the teabag I brewed out of sheer desperation. Maybe it was because I was sick, maybe it was the 2 packets of Splenda I added (no honey to be found) and maybe it was because a hot cup of ANYTHING would have helped, but I rather liked the Twinings. Not a holy grail, but...

Orange Dulce from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????33 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 13th, 2014
I loathe Orange & Spice-type teas. The aversion goes back to Celestial Seasonings that I was forced to drink as a child. So, when a local restaurant, gave me a bag of this when I had asked for Jasmine (He said they had "Orange Jasmine" - and Mighty Leaf does make an Orange Jasmine but this is not it.), I drank it - aga...

Plantation Mint® Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Black Tea with Mint – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 3rd, 2013
I loathe mint tea and this one is no exception. Reminds me of a mild mouth rinse in tea form. Grossness.

Country Peach Passion® Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????78 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 3rd, 2013
I am not a huge fan of Celestial Seasonings - that said back in the '70's they were some of the first herbal tisanes I ever tried - even as a child.
I enjoy the smell of Country Peach Passion better than the taste. Sweet and fruity with a distinct (somewhat fake-y) peach note to it.
This might be one of my faves...
Iced Black Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????23 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jul. 23rd, 2013
I am rating the bottled Lipton Iced tea. Far too much sweetener makes it undrinkable. Yech! Bitter, black-tasting and over-sweetened and caloric. Owned by PepsiCo.

Lapsang Souchong from Twinings
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jul. 8th, 2013
I just don't care for smoked teas (lapsang souchong) and this one had an almost cigarett-y/tarry scent to it (more of an aroma than a taste - thank goodness). Just not my bag at all! And terrible iced. Barely tolerable hot.
What possessed me to try this? I should know better by now. At least it was free (had thi...
Decaf Black Tea from Salada
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????33 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
May. 29th, 2013
Not a fan. Brews up black and very quickly. Not good hot but palatable over ice. - Salada is cheap and easy to come by.
Decent over ice especially for a decaf tea - as decaf teas can taste "flat" and this one is indeed, a bit flat. Don;t oversteep, add some lemon and sweetener and you've got a passable iced tea.
Zen Filterbags from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 24th, 2013
Tazo is carried in Starbucks and is very available and moderately priced. Zen has a green tea base with notes of mint and cintrus. Very good over ice. A solid pick for every-day green tea. I actually prefer this to the China Green Tips (the plain green Tazo that Starbucks carries). Both are good in a pinc (airport,...

Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 22nd, 2013
I can't stand Earl Grey - and yet I have tried many of them. Sometimes I try when I am at a convention or hotel or in an office or deli that carries Twinings. In this case they were all out of the other kids of teas and it was this or coffee - so I gave it a go (hot with a bit of splenda). Not as good as some I've t...

Earl Grey Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 22nd, 2013
I hate Earl Grey - and this one, in particular, is loaded with a bitter bergamot flavor. It's just not my bag, baby!

The People's Green Tea from Republic of Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????63 / 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. Comes in a decent decaf also.

Roastaroma Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Coffee Alternative / Substitute – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 21st, 2013
Blech!!!!! Just drink some coffee already. This one smelled OK in the bag but was not quite barley, not quite chicory, brown/herbal smelling and not at all like coffee. Sorry. FAIL.

Wild Sweet Orange from Tazo Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 20th, 2013
First of all, the package design and possibly the name of this tea may have changed, but I was at a conference in a Sheraton Hotel that offered a few tea selections and since there were no green teas left I chose this. (It was that or a straight black tea so I picked this). I am not a fan of orange teas - but this on...

Chrysanthemum from ITO EN
Style: Chrysanthemum Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 16th, 2013
I am not a huge fan of Chrysanthemum tea - unless it's iced and sweetened and then i get kinda-sorta get into it, but when I lived in NY I would go to the Ito-En flagship store and get a bunch of different kids.
Their Chrysanthemum tea is fun to brew and watch the blossoms in the water. Smells a bit floral but al...
Green Tea from Ten Ren Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 16th, 2013
For the price - you can't beat ten ren teabags for a quick earthy-green on the go. Grassy and green pepper notes (to my nose/palate) and a light to medium body after a generous 3-4 minute steep. Mild and easy to drink - and I drink this one hot (not iced) with a little sweetener like honey or stevia. (Gasp!)

May. 16th, 2013
Cheap!!!! And convenient. Not a holy grail but I love Jasmine teas and this one is good in a pinch. (Bagged.)

I Love Lemon® & C Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 16th, 2013
Better than Lemon ift and a very brightly scented herbal blend. No tea - more of a tisane. Very lemony and great hot if you are congested.

English Teatime from Bigelow Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
May. 16th, 2013
Blah. "Office Tea" - I used to get this in an old law firm I works at who stocked a variety of Bigelow Teas. Blah. Not awful but not good either. Mediocre black tea that steeps-up dark and fairly fast. As others have said, this one is bitter at the end. Tastes ok at first - but bitter aftertaste,

Orange & Spice Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 16th, 2013
I HATE orange & spice and this one is no exception and is on par with Celestial Seasoning's version (which my mom made us drink as kids). Smells great but tastes like drinking "Orange Potpourri". Blech!

Gunpowder Green Tea - Temple of Heaven from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 16th, 2013
This is an easy-drinking green tea with grassy notes an a faint whiff of herbs (sage? I dunno - but I get an herbaceous quality if you let it steep long enough.) Must steep at least 3 minutes as it brews up "pale". Good hot and OK on ice. I like this one better hot. Super-mild.

Hojicha from ITO EN
Style: Hojicha – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 13th, 2013
I like the roasty-toasty notes of Hojicha - especially iced in summer after a meal of sushi or sashimi - it just makes me feel good. Ito-En is like the McDonald's o Tea in Japan but is less known in the USA. I used to love going to the flagship store in NYC but I think it ,may be gone now. Meanwhile - try Ito En t...

Green Tea - Classic from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 13th, 2013
Meh. Typical green-tasting grassy green conveniently bagged, easily acquirable tea. Not a holy grail by any means - but I'll take this over a cuppa Lipton any day! And, yes, I had this in an old law firm I worked at years back. (Office tea!) And at cheap delis in Philly and NYC.
Oh - and now in 2014 we have this & ...
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!
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.
