Spiced Pear from Davidsons Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 14th, 2013
I sampled this tea courtesy of the Church of the Holy City in Wilmington, Delaware.
It was interesting, and very different from anything else of the sort. Just a basic paper tea bag, but it was fresh, full-bodied, flavorful, and aromatic.
The clove is enough to impart a richness, but not enough to give that shar...
Cardamon Tea (Cardamom Tea, Loose) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 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...
Grand Earl Grey from Octavia Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 12th, 2013
Served in Velvet Sky Bakery in Jenkintown.
This was a very strong, robust Earl Grey that had an intense, classic Earl Grey aroma, combining a powerful, malty base tea with a bold bergamot presence.
Octavia Tea informs me that the base tea used is a Yunnan tea...it definitely seems to have the strength and charact...
Lavender Sencha Green Tea from Wegmans
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Japan57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 12th, 2013
This one was a bit odd.
The combination of lavender and sencha, oddly produces a smell similar to fruit loops. It's also a smell I associate a bit with soap or shampoo.
I brewed briefly as recommended (1 minute), and the tea was a bit weak for my tastes. I tried steeping 3 minutes, because this brings out more ...
Organic Jasmine Green Tea from Wegmans
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China47 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 11th, 2013
Dry leaf has a very fruity aroma that I'm not terribly fond of, almost suggestive of bubble-gum. I find it cloying.
Upon brewing, the aroma is similar, slightly less offensive...less floral and more fruity than normal for jasmine, and balanced by some sort of edgy herbaceous undertones of the base tea. Very smooth...
Taiwan Ginseng (Lan Gui Ren) Oolong Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Ginseng Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 7th, 2013
It's been a long time since I tried a ginseng oolong, so I'm not the most experienced reviewer of this type of blend.
Dry leaf shows a dusty appearance, and has a strong but muted aroma, suggestive of greener oolongs, but perhaps more woody and earthy.
Upon brewing, the aroma is predominately of oolong and the ...
Green Tea with Citrus from Lipton Tea
Style: Green Tea with Lemon – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 7th, 2013
There are many, many bagged green teas that are far better than this one - but for Lipton - this is not bad. A bit lemon-pledgey in it's scent - tastes ok. Not bad and not great. Just OK.

English Afternoon from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 6th, 2013
This tea wasn't terribly outstanding, but I did think it was really good. I'm still impressed with how reasonably priced Ahmad teas are, considering their quality!
The flavor was strong and bitter, the dried leaf smelled lightly of bergamot. It only became bitter as it sat.
I'd be interested in trying this out ...
Ultra Spice Chai from Twinings
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 4th, 2013
What a delicate, light tea! There is nothing "ultra" about it - it's nicely balanced and has a great taste, but don't expect spice. Milk and sugar are good in it, but not to excess, because they can cover the taste of this tea up pretty quickly.

Honey Vanilla Chai from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Vanilla Chai – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Jun. 4th, 2013
What a horrible tea. It smells incredible, but somehow it tasted like cigarette smoke to me.
That being said, the overwhelming flavor was of white tea, which I really dislike, so perhaps it's just me!
India Spice Chai from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 4th, 2013
This is the best chai i have found so far, but it's still not the greatest. It needs milk/cream and sugar to fill out the flavor. Sometimes I brew one of these teabags in with one teabag of black tea, to balance it a little more.

Earl Grey Creme from Spice and Tea Exchange
Style: Earl Grey Cream – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 2nd, 2013
This tea is very interesting because although it's called "Earl Grey Creme", it has much more of a floral taste. The blue cornflowers definitely have a big impact on the flavor of the tea. I can only assume that the name comes from aroma of the tea which smells very sweet and creamy. Although the tea was delicious, I f...

Vanilla Almond from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 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...

Cherry Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
The first thing you notice is the almost overwhelming aroma of cherries when you open the bag, not bad but very strong. After a brew you still get the aroma and a delicate taste of cherries and a mild green tea. A very smooth tea evoking spring time. I found this tea was best straight with no sugar or cream since it is...

White Pear from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: Fujian, China37 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
I really wanted to like this tea, but something just didn't work for me. I think it was because the pear aroma and flavor tasted more like a candy or artificial flavoring than pear, and considering pear is my favorite fruit I might be just really picky. The actual tea flavor was oddly dirty and unlike any white I have ...

Spiced Apple Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
So many spices and appley goodness! It is like a perfect Apple cider with a Masala style zing. It is perfect for a cold morning. The aroma or both the leaves and the liquid is like autumn, all apples and warm spices. My only complaint is that the apple cider taste seems to drown out the tea making it more like drinking...

Blueberry from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
I am extremely picky when it comes to blueberry flavored tea, I want it to taste like ripe, sweet, blueberries and not tart unpleasant fruit. So many teas make the tart mistake but not this one! The aroma when opening the package is blueberries all the way, an added plus when you actually see blueberries in the leaves....

Cream from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
This is such a decadent tea! Delicious and bold the aroma is that of rich, sweet cream and the taste matches. A great dessert tea and an even better breakfast tea (if you want something sweet first thing).
I would not recommend this tea if you are not a fan of sweets!
Honey Green Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend23 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
May. 29th, 2013
Sorry, Lipton - but this fakey-honeyish pseudo green bagged tea is not good. Yikes. I had this (free) at a hospitality station where there were a few kinds of teas to choose from (all Lipton) and this seemed OK at the time. Bad call.
I tried it hot and doctored it up with a touch of splenda - but I would never ...
Jasmine Pearl from ITO EN
Style: Jasmine Pearls – Region: Fujian, China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 29th, 2013
If you can find this (loose only - pearled by hand - and gorgeous to watch steep) try it! I used to get this from the NYC Ito En flagship store years back. I miss it. Subtle floral jamine notes and a pale yello/green steep after several minutes (be patient). Great hot and OK iced. (I prefer this one hot with a lit...

Vanilla Creme Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 29th, 2013
This was a strange combination of vanilla, bitter black tea (bitter in a good way, I think.) and almost a nutty or almondish taste. I got a sample bag of this from a friend and it does take only 2-3 minutes to steep and comes out rather dark. I did not add sweetener. Not bad. Maybe as a dessert tea - or on Christm...

Orange Jasmine Black Tea from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
May. 26th, 2013
This was a balanced tea that I found tasted much better once it had cooled to room temperature. I drank it hot, but I think it may actually make a much better iced tea than hot tea. If it weren't for the steep price tag, I'd recommend this one.
Flavor is very clean and crisp: there's a pleasant bitterness, and the...
Organic Jasmine Silver Needle Tea from Wegmans
Style: Jasmine Silver Needle – Region: China73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 25th, 2013
This one was surprisingly different from the pure, unscented silver needles from Wegmans. I liked it much more. Compared to other jasmine silver needles I tried in the past but did not review, this one was much more aromatic.
The dry leaf smells very strongly like wintergreen, almost suggestive of bubblegum. I fo...
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...
