Cardamon Tea (Cardamom Tea, Loose) from Ahmad Tea

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 13th, 2013

This tea is fantastic, absolutely fantastic! I might be more than a little partial since Cardamon is possibly my favorite spice to add to tea with sharp competition with Star Anise.

The aroma is a very pleasing blend of the spice and smooth base tea, neither overpower the other.

The same can be said about the ta...

African Sunset from Two Leaves and a Bud

Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend

60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 9th, 2013

I often find Rooibus hard to describe, especially to people who have never had it before. The aroma is like being in a deciduous forest in autumn, sweet, woodsy, and leafy. There is also the slightly zingy taste of the Lemongrass that adds both a citrus and a green taste to the tea, but it seems more of an after thoug...

Whittard Original from Whittard of Chelsea

Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend

83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 3rd, 2013

Sometimes you get really lucky and find a treasure where least expecting it, in this case I found this tea at a discount style close-out grocery store. Described by the box as a strong traditional black leaf blend, the tea certainly looks and smells strong. The aroma is rich and slightly nutty with a hint of malt from ...

Vanilla Almond from Republic of Tea

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013

I have had both the bags and the loose leaf of this delightful tea, I prefer the loose but the bags are wonderful as well. The aroma is a great blend of vanilla and almond that does not overpower the tea smell. The flavor comes in layers, first the almond, then the vanilla, and lastly the smooth black tea. Rich without...

Minecraft Creeper Tea (Signature Blend) from Adagio Teas

Style: Green Tea – Region: Blend

77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013

This a great tea for people who love Green tea with interesting layers. At first the aroma is one of flowers and slight smokiness (ok, not terribly evocative of Creepers, but really, what does one even smell like! Maybe it does smell like flowers) The taste reminds me overall of spring time. The flavors seem to have di...

Almond (Black Tea) from Upton Tea Imports

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 12th, 2013

I love almond teas and I am always looking for new ones to try, this one did not disappoint. At first the aroma of the leaves had me a bit worried, it was almost overpowering and I thought the tea would be bitter from almond extract (a common problem with almond teas) but upon brewing I discovered that the tea was not ...

Christmas Morning Black Tea from Stash Tea

Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend

73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 3rd, 2012

This tea is delightful, though I am still confused about how it is Christmas morning themed! But they are certainly right about the morning part as this is a perfect morning tea.

The aroma is very lovely with hints of green and jasmine and certainly assam. The taste is mild and goes well with a bit of sugar and cre...

Picture of Cardamon Pu-Erh

Cardamon Pu-Erh from Numi Organic Tea

Style: Flavored Pu-erh – Region: Blend

70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 4th, 2012

The aroma of this teabag is mostly spicy cardamon, there is a slight earthy undertone, but for the most part we have lots of cardamon. Which is good if you are a big fan of cardamon, because it is not a subtle spice.

Tasting this tea reminds me more of a strong Black tea rather than a Pu-erh, it is very bright and a...

Organic Nighty Night® from Traditional Medicinals

Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend

70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 30th, 2012

I am usually not a huge fan of herbal teas, their medicinal quality and usefulness aside I never drink them for pleasure...because usually they taste kinda gross. This tea was a pleasant surprise!

The taste is very mild and slightly sweet, not at all bitter or medicinal tasting. It had a very floral flavor and the ...

Sweet & Spicy Caffeine Free from Good Earth Teas

Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend

57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 23rd, 2012

The aroma of this tea is very strongly cinnamon which, if you enjoy that smell is a good thing. Sadly I do not detect any of the other spices or ingredient listed (sad, since I think a nice hint of orange as promised would have been great)

The flavor is also primarily cinnamon and I can maybe just barely taste the ...
