Cinnamon Tempest from Trader Joe's
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 28th, 2014
This alluring, red tin, contains a personality be prepared to help you accomplish long nights of work or study.
It will be the best friend to an orange-cranberry scone, but it won't be your cat's; for this tea is spicy, bitter, slightly sweet, and aromatic. Perhaps the best deterrent to your cat's habit of jumping o...
Apple Cider from Eastern Shore Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend30 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 28th, 2014
I'm not sure if this product was discontinued or unavailable during a certain time of the year. I made my purchase in October 2013, rearing up for apple cider, pumpkin pie, and spooky nights.
Quite a disappointment. It lacks the spicy, seasonal flavor I was hoping it would embody. It's not a very acidic tea, nor bit...
Caramel Almond Amaretti from Teavana
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 27th, 2014
I like the flavor, aroma, and color of this tea. (It's bright pink due to the beetroot in it.) It doesn't actually have any tea or herb leaves in it, but I still like it. Its sweetness is nice and subtle -- just enough, so that I don't feel the need to add any sweetener. The apple and beetroot give it a not-quite-fruit...
Read Full ReviewLemon Ginger from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 25th, 2014
As a fan of both lemon and ginger, I got plenty of those flavors in this tea and enjoyed both. Though I think "medicinal" teas generally oversell their usefulness for addressing specific ailments, I could certainly see how the citrus and spice in this would make you *feel* better if you had the sniffles. Also, when my ...

Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 24th, 2014
don't know value, got for free....smell is very aromatic and lavender.....taste doesn't carry this though...good medium strong black tea with quite a good flavor..very nice!
Read Full ReviewVanilla Bean from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 24th, 2014
This tea has, unsurprisingly, a distinctly 'black tea lightly sweetened with vanilla' aroma. (In fact, the only other ingredient listed is "natural flavors".) In general, I like the simplicity of its design. After tasting it, I'm a fan of the vanilla, but I think I may not be a black tea person. I prefer teas that don'...
Read Full ReviewDavid's Breakfast (David's Organic Breakfast) from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 23rd, 2014
This is my favourite tea from David's tea. It's very simple yet does the job. It's priced to be the kind of tea you can drink 5 times a day.
Read Full ReviewOrganic Breakfast Blend Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 23rd, 2014
I thought this the was nice, the double bergamot was better.
Read Full ReviewChamomile, Vanilla & Manuka Honey from Pukka
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 23rd, 2014
This tea is quite nice and has a soothing aroma. It's hard to place whether the scent is vanilla or chamomile, but it's distinctly "one note". To be fair, I've had these tea bags for quite a long time, so perhaps it has gone stale or lost some of its oomf.
I tried the second steep with some sugar added, which gave i...
English Breakfast (Teabags) from Ahmad Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 23rd, 2014
I liked this one - not too tannic but a little bit of a bite and a caffeinated buzz for the morning. One bag easily made 2 dark infusions. No issues here.
That said - the Ahmad Darjeeling is much better - but i love Darjeeling in the first place.
Organic Ginger Pear White Tea from Trader Joe's
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 21st, 2014
To be fair, it takes me awhile to get through tea and I've had these packets a long time. So perhaps the tea has gone stale. I think I liked it a bit more when I first bought it.
As of now, I'm not detecting any distinct ginger and very little pear. The flavor isn't bad, but is very meh. For my second cup I added ho...
Samurai Chai Mate from Teavana
Style: Flavored Yerba Maté – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 20th, 2014
Though the instructions say to steep this tea 5-6 minutes, I've found steeping it for 4 produces a more delicate flavor that I prefer. The only distinct aroma I can smell is a light cinnamon scent. It's not an especially complex tea, but it's nice.
I remember getting this because I enjoyed their free sample at the s...
Spiced Apple Cider Rooibos from Teavana
Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 17th, 2014
I'm still making up my mind about this tea. I think I may have over-brewed it slightly. Also, I added a little sugar, but think it may benefit from a little more. Also, I think it might be better cold, but this time I tried it hot.
Regardless, the apple smell isn't quite as strong as I was expecting/hoping, but it's...
PG Tips Pyramid bags from PG Tips
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 17th, 2014
This is my definition of tea. It is smooth, not bitter and has a wonderful aroma. When you see pictures of people having tea in England, it's this kind of tea.
Read Full ReviewEgyptian Licorice from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 15th, 2014
This blend was far too sweet for me, which is perhaps understandable given that licorice is naturally sweet, and it was the first and main ingredient, and the second ingredient was cinnamon bark, which is also naturally sweet.
Aroma is dominately licorice but has much complexity. I notice the cinnamon too, but have...
Earl Grey Classic Tea from Fortnum & Mason
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 15th, 2014
A solid British-style Earl Grey, smooth and easy to drink. I'm excited that I finally got to try a loose-leaf tea from Fortnum and Mason. I have been unimpressed by their tea bags, but their loose-leaf is definitely a step up in quality.
Broken-leaf with a classic Earl Grey aroma, both of the dry loose-leaf tea, a...
Pure Endurance from Guayaki
Style: Flavored Yerba Maté – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 14th, 2014
The aroma is herbaceous, similar to sage but with a sharper quality, with a sweet, fruity aftertone. The aroma is a bit hard to describe, Yerba Mate has a very distinct aroma that is all its own and I have not found anything that it smells like to compare it to.
The taste starts quite sweet and fruity but it fades t...
Irish Breakfast from Red Rose Tea
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 14th, 2014
This tea is pretty good. It's strong, rich, and not too bitter. I added cream and sugar.

Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend27 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 13th, 2014
Because I love both Numi teas and Breakfast Blends, I had high hopes for this one, but it turned out to be a big disappointment. Glad I didn't purchase a whole box of this, and opted for a sampler instead.
Not enough maltiness or depth. Edgy astringent notes were able to be rounded off with milk and a hint of hone...
Cardamon Pu-Erh from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Flavored Pu-erh – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 13th, 2014
This was the first Pu-erh style tea I ever tried, and I selected it because I love the seductive, alluring, sweet smell of cardamom spice. Now, I had read about Pu-erhs and how they are strange and "earthy," but I didn't really know what that meant.
The moment I opened the box, the outstandingly powerful aromas im...
Cranberry Pear from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 12th, 2014
This is my first DavidsTea. I received in a tea swap called The 12 Days of Christmas. We had a tea for each day, this was Day#1. The tea itself was fragrant and pleasant to look at. Taste was nice, I only detected the taste of the black tea and pear as well as the artificial flavoring they add and wondered if this ...

Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 11th, 2014
I am very fond of Numi Teas. I also really enjoy breakfast blends. I have to say that this was Ok. I have being drinking many teas over the last few weeks/holiday season. So, you will see a lot of logs at once, I was keeping notes. With that, I will say that I think that the best breakfast blends seem to come from...
Read Full ReviewKenyan Black Tea with Lemon (Teabags) from Ajiri Tea
Style: Lemon Black Tea – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 9th, 2014
I thought this to be a very original blend, top-notch.
Very intense lemon fragrance, holding its own against the base tea. Like most lemon myrtle, there's a deep woody or resinous undertone, making a very complex aroma, combined with the malty but fresh aroma of the Kenyan black tea. The lemon myrtle really holds ...
Rose Oolong from Chai Diaries
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 9th, 2014
A light-colored, medium-bodied tea dominated by the rose aroma.
Sampled at the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival, another old review that I only posted now.
This blend's aroma struck me as all rose and no tea...the tea imparted only a mild body and richness, a slight flavor. The rose, however, dominates both ...
Mexican Mango Chili Mate from Capital Teas
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 9th, 2014
This was something completely new and different, unlike any other tea, mate, or herbal blend that I've tried previously. An old review that I only am posting now; I sampled this at the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival.
There's a slight kick from the chili. Keep in mind, I'm someone who LOVES spicy food, stuff ...
