Canada 150 Blend Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Miscellaneous Tea-only Blend – Region: Blend74 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 11th, 2021
Here's a new blend style for me: green, black and oolong. As the name indicates, Murchie's first produced this to commemorate Canada's 150th anniversary, and it apparently gained enough of a following to keep going as a sale offering. Fittingly, it also is faintly maple flavored—much less so than any of Murchie's ...

Citrus Sunrise Cold Brew from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 3rd, 2021
This tea has been renamed Vitamin C Shine, but it is still the same product.
I'm not big on orange-flavored teas, but this one is pretty good. Its citrus flavor is more mixed and complex. I like it on its own or with honey, and it tastes good on a sore throat or the like.
Premium Full Leaf from Rabea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend86 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 2nd, 2021
I've known about this brand of tea for years but only recently got my hands on it, at a local Arab store. The packaging is unusually flimsy, just a single layer of cardboard lining with a foil seal and a plastic lid, but I actually appreciated the lack of plastic wrap as it made for less packaging waste than with other...

Queen Victoria Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Green and Black Tea Blend – Region: Blend44 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 19th, 2021
Have you ever walked into the lobby of a tire shop, and noted its distinctive aroma of freshly manufactured tire rubber? That was my immediate impression of the taste/scent blend upon drinking this tea, and I can't shake it. It's as if someone liquefied that air in a tire store, and stirred it into a tea. The websit...

Cinnamon Express Black Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 11th, 2021
This tea is pretty good for bagged tea -- more balanced than the herbal apple cinnamon tea. This is a solid tea when needing the convenience of a bag. I taste a bit of licorice, which I'm not a big fan of, but it isn't dominant. The cinnamon flavor is pretty nice.

Nutty Almond Cream from Tiesta Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 9th, 2021
I usually like strong teas and this one has a very subtle flavor with no substantial base to it. When I first tasted it I liked the creamy flavor, but after a while I've gotten tired of it. It has a bright red hue that turns pale pink when I add cream or milk. Probably because of the beets. I can barely taste the almo...

Cinnamon Apple Spice Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 9th, 2021
This tea is pleasant so long as it is NOT overbrewed. The tea is very sweet even without sweetener, and the longer it's brewed the sweeter and more intense in flavor it generally gets. I normally prefer strong flavors in my tea, so it's remarkable to me that this is the first time I find a tea to be a bit *too* much. I...

Finest Russian Caravan from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Russian Caravan – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 4th, 2021
This blend of Indian, Chinese, and Taiwanese teas has a very good aroma imo - toasty and woody, with a little caramel and butterscotch. The flavor is reasonably robust but not heavy, with a dash of metallic tannins. I had it with milk, and tried it with lemon and sugar too. That also worked out well, and which is un...

Scottish Breakfast from Mark T. Wendell
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend85 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 20th, 2021
This tea does not have a strong aroma either in the can or in the cup. Not very malty in flavor, and just ever so slightly astringent. It brews up nice and clear with a very clean taste. Its a nice cup in the morning, but does not have the kick of an Assam tea.

Prince Charles Blend Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 14th, 2021
Prince Charles isn't among most heavily advertised teas in the large assortment Murchie's carries, but maybe it should be. It was, according to the website, "originally blended in 1981 to commemorate the Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana." Good thing this tea long outlasted that marriage!
The dry bag gave a sharp...
Earl Grey Decaf Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend69 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 8th, 2021
My wife is trying to cut back caffeine intake, and had me include this offering in the latest virtual "Murchie's run" that we do a time or two per year. And being a big fan of both happy marriages and the $CAD---->$USD exchange rates the last few years, I did not object.
Now that I've tried the tea, I'm glad that I...
Decaffeinated Breakfast Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 6th, 2021
I find it a bit weird, but I often like the taste of a good decaf better than the taste of the same regularly caffeinated drink. They can have a nice savory mouthfeel without bitterness.
This decaf is solid, especially for a teabag. For those expressly wanting a non-caffeinated bag tea, this is a strong choice!
Maple Chai from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend86 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 31st, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: Maple, brown sugar, chai spice. This is a nice smelling tea! 8/10
Flavor: This is a very good one. The maple is pronounced but not aggressive, the sweet and spicy plays fantastically. Even more so, the aftertaste is really inviting for another sip. 9/10
Body: Full. One of the fullest...
Red Velvet Cake from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 30th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: You really almost smell butter cream icing. It’s a nice note but it’s not what I typically associate with red velvet cake. 7/10
Flavor: This also has a cake batter / icing type note. It’s pretty nice. 7/10
Body: Fairly full. It’s a nice compliment to the cake type drink. 8/10...
Espresso Yourself from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend84 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 30th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5 min
Aroma: This really does give you the sense of a very nicely roasted coffee; however, there is a malty black tea note behind it 8/10
Flavor: This may be the best flavor on a black tea that I’ve had. Very darn close to a coffee with some sweet notes that balance out the beans. 9/10
Body: This...
Chocolate Earl Grey from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend64 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 29th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: Clearly earl grey. Bergamot is very strong. Not unpleasant but a little disjointed. 6/10
Flavor: I tried this plain and then added a splash of almond milk. The milk blended out some rough edges and left a nice citrus flavor with the lightest kiss of cocoa. 7/10
Body: Medium to medium ...
Chocolate Covered Almond from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend76 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 29th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: This tea reminds me of a chocolate covered biscotti. Really inviting, very dessertlike. 8/10
Flavor: Very cocoa forward with a minor note of almond. 8/10
Body: This guy is a touch thin. More heft would make this decadent. 6/10
Value: Price seems fair at around 5 dollars per ounc...
Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 29th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: I really don’t know how they do it but they are a master of creating blends. This smells like a strawberry rhubarb pie in the best way. The souring notes of the rhubarb pop so well. 9/1
Flavor: There is a really nice fruit balance to this and the hibiscus body Balances out very well. ...
English Breakfast Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 29th, 2020
This tea is pretty good for a bagged tea. The flavor is strong. Just don’t oversteep it, or it will become bitter. I brewed it for four minutes and that worked well.
Also, I usually prefer my tea plain, but this one was tastier and more satisfying with a bit of milk added. I could definitely see someone using a te...
Honeybush Blueberry Pancake from Adagio Teas

Dec. 28th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 8oz
Aroma: I think they nailed the blueberry pancake notes. This is very dessert focused. 8/10
Flavor: Not as bold on the blueberry as expected but a very enjoyable treat. 8/10
Body: Medium to medium plus 8/10
Value: Another adagio cost effective option. 8/10
Overall: I’m very ...
Magic Potion from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend68 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 27th, 2020
Pre: 200F, 5min, 2.5tsp, 16oz
Aroma: I can’t tell if this is the purple color of the liquid or if I’m really getting this much blueberry and blue raspberry. Either way, it’s fruity. 8/10
Flavor: This tastes like blue raspberry as well. I’m not sure if I’m as big of a fan of that for a dominant flavor b...
Valerian Nights from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 1 sachet, 12oz, 5min
Aroma: There is a lot going on here. I’ll just say the coconut is most prevalent but many other notes are in the background. 7/10
Flavor: There is a good bit of coconut and apple here. I’m not well versed in some of the other items included but I’m generally impressed. 7/1...
Honeybush Pumpkin Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Honeybush – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 10min, 2tsp, 12oz
Aroma: This smells quite similar to the pumpkin spice black tea that I had yesterday. Very spicy notes of cinnamon. 8/10
Flavor: This is not quite as bold as the nose but there is plenty of spices jumping around the palate. Chai spices tend to be too much for Rooibos but this honeyb...
Irish Breakfast from Adagio Teas
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 8oz, sample packet, 212F, 5min
This is my first Irish breakfast tea (at least by the specific tea). This was a free sample in my most recent adagio box.
Aroma: I’ve had a few black teas from Adagio that were quite aggressive in their aromas. This is much more subtle; however, it’s very inviting. Remi...
Honeybush Chocolate (Chocolate Honeybush) from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Honeybush – Region: Blend76 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 1.5tsp, 12oz
Aroma: Nice cocoa nib and milk chocolate notes. This is really inviting. 8/10
Flavor: This is almost a light hot chocolate. Delicious but not weighty. 8/10
Body: A touch thin (I’ll brew again with more tea and see if that makes a difference) 6/10
Value: Another of the 30 ...
