Irish Breakfast from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 19th, 2014
pretty bland in terms of aroma and taste (is that synonymous with Irish?), but good for a change once in a while.

Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 15th, 2014
is this tea produced through CTC processing?
i like loose leaf tea (orthox ).
this london cuppa tea had dark color, not much scent, but strong taste. i did not like it straight so i added milk. it became lovely tea that way.
Darjeeling from Tazo Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 15th, 2014
I had the opportunity to sample this at a small cafe that had only two tea bags left in their stock. It obviously was not fresh, as this tea was discontinued quite some time ago, and the copyright on the bag said 2007.
The tea was surprisingly drinkable and still retained quite a lot of flavor and aroma. Flavor wa...
Yunnan Gold from Bare Tea
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 14th, 2014
This tastes a lot like other examples of high-quality Yunnan Gold teas that I've tried.
Pyramid sachets are very aromatic!
Upon brewing, produces a cup with numerous subtle aromas. I initially get caraway and rye in the aroma, but then vanilla and caramel. Underneath, there are cocoa tones. Flavor is extremel...
Irish Breakfast from Trader Joe's
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Assam, India67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 13th, 2014
Trader Joe's Original Irish Breakfast is a smooth and dark tea with a welcoming and appealing aroma. The longer the tea steeps the more bitter it becomes but at the suggested time of 3 to 5 minutes you will find a wonderful cup of tea that pleases. I typically drink this at work, two to three cups each day, as a regul...

Oothu Black Tea from Just.Organic.Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tamil Nadu, India77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 9th, 2014
The aroma of the tea is quite sweet, blending notes of molasses and baking bread with a slight undertone of roasted peanuts. It is rich and warming, just what one expects from a black tea.
The taste is surprisingly sweet and creamy, it manages to be fairly smooth while also being brisk and a touch astringent. The ta...
Nonpareil Yunnan Dian Hong Chinese Red Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 3rd, 2014
A fascinating tea, resembling caraway and rye crackers, but complex and smooth. This tea got my attention in an unusual way: most of the high-end Yunnan black teas are gold or pure gold variants, mostly or all tip. This tea had an all-dark leaf.
The dry leaf is very aromatic, with a peculiar aroma resembling caraw...
Barooti Assam (Broken Leaf with Golden Tips) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 1st, 2014
My local Indian Market was out of the Ahmad Kalami Assam, so I picked this one up instead. Quite different in flavor and aroma, but still an excellent value.
Brewed at 3 to 4 minutes maximum, and you get a bold, robust flavor and aroma, but with less complexity and maltiness than the Kalami Assam. The color is extr...
English Breakfast from Adagio Teas
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Anhui, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 1st, 2014
Opened a fresh package of this wonderful loose leaf blend, and enjoyed the fresh aroma of the dry leaves: earthy, slightly smoky and a light honey scent as well. Just over three minutes as a steep with boiling water. Beautiful color and a malty aroma begins to develop.
I am not sure I would classify this as a tradit...
Darjeeling Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 28th, 2014
This tea is pretty good. It has a musty aroma. Brews quickly, which I like. I added cream and sugar.

Feb. 27th, 2014
The aroma of this tea is fruity and sweet with a touch of spice and molasses. The brewed tea is also fruity but there cocoa notes as well. The liquid is honey sweet and fruity with cocoa notes.
The taste is quite fruity with strong tones of cocoa and honey. It is very tasty and I was able to get multiple steeps fro...
Superb Black Tea from The Excellent Tea Company
Style: Black Tea – Region: Rwanda50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 26th, 2014
Super small tea particles in a cheapy-bag. Smells OK - a bit earthy - and definitely a black tea. Brewed up strong - but not inky. Not nearly as tannic as, say, Lipton. Drinkable but not a fave.

Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea – Golden Tip from TeaVivre
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 24th, 2014
The aroma is a blend of roasted nuts, cocoa, and beets, it is quite savory rather than sweet. Brewing the tea brings out a fruity quality and sweetness along with the roasted nuts and cocoa quality.
The taste is quite bold and rich, it starts out with roasted nuts and dark chocolate, it has a dry mouth feel and a s...
Baker Street Afternoon Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Russian Caravan – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 24th, 2014
One of my favorite blends from Upton. The light smokiness in aroma and flavor adds character yet does not overpower the whole leaf base. There is a light sweetness (possibly from the Darjeeling), a light woodiness, and just a touch of malt -- making for an interesting and satisfying brew.
I understand that it makes ...
Bond Street English Breakfast Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 24th, 2014
A very robust blend with deep flavor and light aroma. Not a full leaf blend, but rather fine chop makes this brew quick. Longer steep brings a bitterness that is unpleasant, so just 3 minutes is recommended.
Dark and brisk - just what an English Breakfast Blend should be.
Irish Breakfast from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
Though they ended up with the same score, I actually liked the Irish Breakfast slightly better than the English Breakfast from Twinings. Unfortunately, to say I "enjoyed" it would still be too strong.

English Breakfast from Twinings

Feb. 23rd, 2014
I'm not sure if I'll ever be crazy about black teas. I got a sampler pack of Twinings black teas so that I could try out my tastes, and this one was the most *meh* to me. Neither the aroma nor the taste were my style. I think I'll bring the remainder of these to work for others to use.

Organic Assam Breakfast from Divinitea
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 22nd, 2014
This is a bold, rich Assam, malty, strong flavored without being overly harsh. Perhaps slightly less edgy than average for an Assam of this strength, and this could be either an asset or a downside, depending on what you are looking for.
I find this tea is able to be brewed with more leaf than I normally use for an...
Estate Blend Tea from Bromley Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend97 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5

Rich taste; makes strong cup of tea the way I like it. Reminds me of Irish tea, but much more affordable.

This tea was a bit bitter and too strong for my taste. Regarding Irish bagged teas, I guess I'm a Barry's fan. I suppose I'm in the minority.

This is the only single estate, pure Ceylon that is strong enough to be called a Breakfast tea. Excellent flavor and bold, crisp finish. Brews best with 8 oz hot water for 3 minutes.

PG Tips Pyramid bags from PG Tips
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 10th, 2014
PG Tips is really meant to be drunk British style, with an ample dose of milk and some sugar. And if you just walked in from a long walk in a cold December rain, that helps. If you want to drink black tea straight, I would not recommend this tea. But if you want a tea that is strong enough to stand up to a milk and sug...

Gold Blend from Barry's Tea

Feb. 10th, 2014
Very good tea, in the Irish style, with a bit of milk. Personally, I prefer good bagged tea, as the loose leaf is too weak for my taste. Barry's has excellent flavor and a good kick. Lifts the spirits and satisfies the palate. I can recommend a cup without hesitation.

Feb. 10th, 2014
As far as I know, this is the only blend of Assam and Darjeeling. The result is an outstanding flavor, and a wonderful tea, in the Irish style, with a bit of milk.
