White Pomegranate Tea from Revolution Tea
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 10th, 2014
Not quite a new favorite, but solid. The fruity scent is quite nice. Though I think I'd prefer this with a different base tea, brewed well and kept hot this tea can be refreshing. People who like flavored white teas should certainly try this one.
I like that this tea comes with a ziplock bag inside so that you can ...
Decaf Simply Green from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 10th, 2014
Unfortunately, the first disappointing tea I've had from Numi. It tastes generic and bland. I haven't tried many decaffeinated teas so I don't know how this compares, but I'm quite unimpressed. Meh.

Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 8th, 2014
Not bad. I liked the scent of the dry leaf better than the brewed cup. It was pleasant, though. I like this floral flavor and would like to try similar brews with perhaps different base teas. If you're big into flavored white teas, this one strikes me as a solid choice--I've simply had a hard time finding white teas to...
Read Full ReviewBeet Cabbage - Savory Tea from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 7th, 2014
Another very good "savory" tea. The most notable of the flavors listed is the cabbage. Though normally I'm not a big fan of this flavor, here it works very well. No doubt the inclusion of beet is responsible for the pink look of the brew. Overall, the flavors of vegetable and spices are very balanced.
If you're in t...
Chocolate Minty Mate (Loose) from Positiffitea
Style: Flavored Yerba Maté – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 25th, 2014
The first and second cup of this one were both moderately good, though completely different in flavor. Both were minty and herbaceous, but only the first cup was chocolaty. The bits of chocolate immediately diffused out. After my first sip, I decided to add milk, which improved the cup. The second cup had no chocolate,...

Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 21st, 2014
Now this has become not only my favorite by Celestial Seasonings, but also my favorite tea involving chamomile--which normally I dislike. Here the chamomile is subtle and well-blended with the other flavors. The peach is also nice, and the tea has the right level of sweetness. In short, I like this one. :-D
Still wi...
Raspberry Zinger Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 20th, 2014
This is my favorite of Celestial Seasonings's offerings so far. Sweet, tangy, and straightforwardly fruity are how I'd describe this one. It has a bit of the "Jolly Rancher" candy flavor to it, but isn't excessive with the sweetness. I think the tartness evens out the sweetness much better for this tisane than it did f...

Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 19th, 2014
I have mixed feelings about this one. The aroma reminds me exactly of a Jolly Rancher, which is great as a candy but strikes me as too intensely sweet and artificially-fruity for a whole drink. As I sip the drink, it's grown on me a bit. I think the hibiscus probably helps cut the sweetness. It's still not really right...

Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 18th, 2014
Not bad! Lightly tart and simply blueberry, I enjoy this one. There's really nothing else going for it, but if you're in the mood for a straightforward fruit tea, it fits the bill. As people mentioned, the smell is more robust than the flavor. I tried this with milk and it made a decent (but not amazing) latte.
My b...
Cocoa Mint Maté Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Yerba Maté – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 3rd, 2014
Not bad, but I'm sure there is better out there. The chocolate, maté, and mint blend well. I do wish they'd used only peppermint and not included the spearmint, but that's just because I'm not crazy about that flavor in general.
Also of note is that I definitely felt a caffeine-like heady jolt. So it certainly func...
Organic Double Green Matcha Tea from Republic of Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 22nd, 2014
Given that this is an extremely affordable green tea, I really wish I liked it more. I really enjoy matcha, but this mixture with regular green tea is a bit bitter. It's best to keep it to a short steeping and then add cream and sugar. Though I will point out that the second and third cup actually had fewer problems th...
Read Full ReviewSunny Roo from Positiffitea
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 15th, 2014
Highly enjoyable tea. This is basically a chai with rooibos as the base. While the flavors are pleasant and well mixed, I would appreciate a stronger flavor. At times, this one comes off a little thin. No bitterness or anything else problematic; I would just love to get even more of a good thing. :-)

Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 12th, 2014
I haven't tried a lot of decaffeinated black teas, but I'm starting to think I may prefer them. I haven't tried the regular version of this tea yet, but I appreciate that it doesn't have the bitterness I commonly associate with some black teas. It tastes fruity and fresh, and smells wonderful too.
Though it's made o...
Sweet Dreams Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 14th, 2014
The mint isn't bad and dominates the smell, but in the drink I can taste too much of the chamomile. Very meh. If you like chamomile this one likely won't be bad, but it just isn't right for my palate.

Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 13th, 2014
Easily my favorite tea (well, tisane) by Bigelow so far! I'm a fan of lemon, hibiscus, and rosehips, so I was looking forward to trying this one and was not disappointed--at least, for the first cup. The second cup was WAY weaker, even after a long steeping.
The first cup was a very balanced and perky fusion of the ...
Green Tea with Mint from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea with Mint – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 12th, 2014
If you like the idea of drinking wild grasses mixed with a bit of mint, this tea is for you. I find that these flavors initially clash (perhaps because they weren't exactly what I expected) and don't blend the way they should, though the more I sip the more it grows on me. Certainly not a favorite, but I do think there...
Read Full ReviewGreen Tea with Lemon from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea with Lemon – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 11th, 2014
This tea is a bit meh to me. It's not bad, exactly, but it's very ordinary and not really what it should be. I like teas with lemon to have a brighter, bolder flavor. In this tea the lemon is very muted. If you want a dominant green tea flavor with just a hint of lemon, you'll probably be more impressed with this than ...

Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 6th, 2014
This is my first minty tea. I generally prefer peppermint over spearmint, so I was curious about this one. Definitely a clean, fresh taste. Delightful! I'm not always craving peppermint, but when I am this simple cup would satisfy that craving quite nicely without involving actual sugar (which I like to avoid, particul...

Style: Genmaicha – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 1st, 2014
Not bad at all! I was pleasantly surprised by this tea. I'd had tea flavored with rice before and not cared for it, but the flavor of this one was distinctly different. Specifically, it tasted like lightly sweetened puffed rice cereal balanced with the more savory flavor of tea itself. The puffed rice was dominant for ...

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 30th, 2014
When I first smelled the tea bag I got a whiff of spicy dust that inclined me to think this would be a pretty pungent cup. In truth, it was one of the more muted ginger teas I've had. I felt that the mixture of different roots was a good choice, but would have preferred a tea with a "brighter" or more intense flavor. T...

Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 29th, 2014
Oooh, now this is an interesting tea. I wouldn't be in the right mood for it all the time, but when you need just a hint of fruitness or sweetness it's just about right. The scent is quite pleasant--it reminds me of a plum wine or even sake. It seems that oolong was a pretty good choice to blend with plum. There must b...

Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 19th, 2014
The lemon flavor is very, very muted compared to what I expected. I tried it first without anything added and wasn't crazy about it. However, once I added sugar the flavor was amazing! I don't normally add sugar or anything else, but this is one time when it worked out splendidly.

Style: Hibiscus Tea – Region: ?????83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 12th, 2014
I tried this tea hoping it'd be a less expensive version of the full leaf Passion flavor by Tazo. It isn't as sophisticated or as sweet as that tea, but it's quite good--especially when you're in the mood for something tart!
A deep reddish purple quickly diffuses once the water is poured. The smell is quite nice and...
Honeybush Orange from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Honeybush – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 11th, 2014
Sweet, with an almost creamy orange flavor that tastes balanced, not fake. I enjoyed it except that it tasted watery compared to other adagio teas I've tried--though this might have been because it was a different barista at the tea shop this time. Maybe it was made weaker. Still, the flavor it did have was lovely, and...

Jun. 1st, 2014
Not a bad drink. I'm not as into the flavor of spearmint as I am peppermint, but if what you're in the mood for is mint it's a pretty good balance. This won't be a favorite of mine, but I suspect that's largely because the flavor profile isn't really me. The quality of the tea seems pretty good. It doesn't have an arti...
