English Breakfast Black Tea from MajaTei
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 15th, 2015
Definitely one of the best English Breakfast teas I've sampled. A somewhat subdued tea that was slow to infuse, but became quite robust if steeped long enough. Quite different from a typical breakfast tea.
The dry leaf, which is fairly large pieces of leaf that are tightly rolled, smelled slightly of cocoa, but wa...
The Black Lotus (English Breakfast) from Butiki Teas
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 10th, 2015
I was so curious about The Black Lotus. Even the name is awesome. The reviews are great. It arrived here fast – loving the design of the bag. So sad Butiki is closing right when I am discovering them.
I brewed this twice – the first time I must have done it too hot a steep and too little as it wasn’t quite str...
Russian Country from Harney and Sons
Style: Russian Caravan – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 10th, 2015
A very good tea from Harney & Sons. I’m a recent convert to Lapsang, so was excited to see the description of this one blended with that tea for a smoother version.
It is smoky but slightly, and all the teas blend together to make a smooth, smooth tea that has no bitterness, no astringency, and a subtle but very...
Yorkshire Tea Traditional from Yorkshire Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 6th, 2015
This is my go to every-day tea. Its strong and not-overly-bitter and I enjoy it with lots of milk and sugar.
I prefer it to PG Tips as well and enjoy it much more than the other every-day-teas such as Tetley that I have encountered.
East Frisian Leaf Blend from TeaGschwendner
Style: East Frisian Tea (Ostfriesentee) – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 31st, 2014
A strong black tea blend of very good quality. Another sample brought back from Germany.
Brews up a rich, dark cup that is only moderately aromatic. The aroma is very malty and slightly vegetal. The flavor is very smooth up-front, but there's a tannic edge towards the end of the sip, which I found quite pleasant....
Decaf Earl Grey from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 14th, 2014
Not bitter or otherwise bad, but not really for me. A pretty subdued Earl Grey with a light bergamot and a fairly nondescript black tea base. Preferred mine with a bit of milk. Would drink if it was the only thing available, but much better exists.

Royal English Breakfast from Harney and Sons
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 10th, 2014
Very nice - i like this one - comes in loose and sachets (not bags - I don't think) and I tried it in a sachet form. very nice aroma and easy to drink with or without sweetener. It is caffeinated but not like a "Lipton Black" - much more mellow. Not as good as a straight Darjeeling (first flush, baby!) but a good so...

Awake English Breakfast Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 10th, 2014
Wow does this have caffeine in it or what? Dark and Black - brews up quickly and easy to find everywhere that carries Starbbucks. I usually opt another Tazo blend to this - but if it was this or Lipton? I'd take Awake for sure. Very strong black tea.

Breakfast Blend (Morning Rise) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 3rd, 2014
I haven't tried a lot of breakfast blends and black tea isn't my favorite, so I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. It has a raisin-like flavor that is satisfying without being overwhelming. I drank my cup with milk and felt that it needed this. I suspect that milk and a bit of lemon juice would help it even ...

Klassik from Meßmer (Messmer)
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 18th, 2014
One of the many teas I tried on my recent trip in Germany. A weak tea bag that was somewhat underwhelming, but that had some interesting complexity lurking in there. I'd be curious to try a loose-leaf version of this tea, and use more leaf, because I can see it producing much better results.
Aroma is weak but rath...
Russian Caravan from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Russian Caravan – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 2nd, 2014
This tea should be called "Campfire Black." It takes like your are drinking smoke combined with black tea. Depending on the quality of black tea used in this blend, this tea is excellent. If the Assam, for instance, is not top quality, then it can suffer from too much smoke and not enough tannins. Much like a similar ...

English Breakfast Decaf from Red Rose Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 20th, 2014
Surprisingly not bad! This is the first time I've tried a decaffeinated tea and I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually pretty nice. The level of bitterness was very low, and I swear I taste just a hint of cinnamon in this. It creates an all-around pleasant cup, even without cream.
Also interesting was the stee...
British Blend - Premium Black Tea from Tetley Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 19th, 2014
I'm surprised that a number of people thought this tea tasted weak, though the strength of cup I got might be due to a mistake I made: I tore the drawstring teabag. The tea fell out, so I just brewed it loose and floating in the cup. This made it diffuse very quickly. The tiny bits were too small to effectively scoop o...

Gold Blend from Barry's Tea

Aug. 10th, 2014
Sampled at the coffee hour at a Unitarian Church in Northwest Philly. I didn't expect much, because it was just a humble cardboard box filled with unsealed, paper tea bags, and each tea bag was filled with fine dust.
But this tea impressed me.
Steeped 3 minutes. Produced a robust, full-bodied cup that was low i...

I find Tetley completely lacking when comparing it to the other British blends for daily tea drinking found in the supermarket. I prefer Yorkshire, PG Tips, Twining's Everyday blend to name a few diverse alternative. Nonetheless, these are blends, the tea that I go to when I want something warm to drink and when I'm no...

I've been drinking tetley British blend for several years and as of today I'm changing to a different tea. It tastes like water and is very weak tasting. It's obvious that the company has cut back on it's product because at one time it was enjoyable.

Basic Black from FashionistaTea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 19th, 2014
I thought this tea was pretty good. It didn't wow me, and I didn't pick up many nuances in aroma or flavor, but I didn't hate it. It seemed to match the name pretty well: Basic Black.
I have enough left for one cup, so I think I'll try it again with a little sugar and almond milk, just to see if the character c...
Original (Black Tea) from Red Rose Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
May. 7th, 2014
I've now reviewed five of the specialty teas from Red Rose, but it wasn't until today that I finally reviewed their original flagship blend.
The tea bags, as well as the brewed cup (I brewed for 3 minutes) are basically aroma-less, but upon drinking it's actually more pleasant.
Full-bodied and strong tasting but ...
Baker Street Afternoon Blend from Upton Tea Imports

Sniffing the dry leaves transport me to a Victorian gentleman's library, blending pipe smoke, polished wood, and a comfy leather chair. It is super evocative! There are also faint flora and muscatel notes, the aroma of the blend is quite delicious.
he taste is rich, smoky and muscatel with a tiny hint of cherry with...

Wow. An exceptional tea. This was definitely the best breakfast tea I've ever tried, I'd go farther and say it was the best of any blended tea. This was one of three teas in a sampler pack that my parents received as a gift, and I'm glad they gave me some to try.
Dry leaf, which is a mix of different leaf styles ...

good, basic tea - once in a while that's what you want, something not fancy. It blends well to make a chai.
