Vanilla Black from Canton Tea Co
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
May. 21st, 2014
My tea preferences:
Black Tea: lighter teas + milk & 1 sugar
When I first smelled and sipped this tea I could hardly believe that it came from a tea bag rather than a pot of loose leaf. The tea is light, well rounded and sweet, and the aroma is not overpowering. One of my favorite things is that when the tea bag ...
Chocolate Peppermint from Tea Horse
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 17th, 2014
I made this for my Mom today, since she was visiting. I know she likes mint, but normally I do not, so I figured she would be able to really appreciate this. I brewed it at 208 degrees for 5 minutes. I added about a tsp of rock sugar, but no milk.
My Mom really liked this! It smelled so great that I took a sip a...
Port from Whispering Pines
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 14th, 2014
If tea had a gender, I would call this a manly tea. The dry tea smells woody, and I could pick out some hints of grape. Not sure where that came from. There's a warm vanilla scent, and an unidentified note that I believe is the saffron.
The brewed tea smells warm, and reminds me of a cozy night spent reading in...
Golden Orchid from Whispering Pines
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 14th, 2014
Wow, what a tea! I was a little worried because the dry tea smelled like chocolate, but there was also a sharp scent I couldn’t quite identify. Once steeped, I could just smell the chocolate. Yum.
The cocoa flavor is pronounced, but not overpowering. The tea has a lovely sweetness and doesn’t need any additives ...
Spicy Chocolate from Kusmi Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
May. 7th, 2014
I'm going to stop drinking the Kusmi teas for awhile because every time I open the little tin, they smell amazing, but after steeping, there's not much aroma, and not much overall flavor. Maybe these need to be sweetened to bring out more flavor. I will try that next.
I do think that if something is called "Spic...
Four Red Fruits from Kusmi Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
May. 6th, 2014
Smells nice! But there's not much in the flavor department.
I hope this isn't going to be the trend with Kusmi teas. I'm glad I bought the smaller sampler sizes and I hope I'm going to find at least a few that are winners for me!
Black Mango from The Tao of Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 5th, 2014
This flavored tea has a nice aroma, but I'm missing the mango when I taste it.
The tea was brewed for 5 minutes. It really just tastes like a plain black tea. It's not bad, but if I wanted a plain black tea, that's what I would have purchased.
Edit (050814): I am drinking this again, but with a little suga...
Earl Grey Moonlight from Adagio Teas
Style: Earl Grey Cream – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 3rd, 2014
The scent of this tea is lovely, full of citrus, floral and vanilla notes; however, the flavor is mostly floral and there is an unpleasant aftertaste.
This was steeped using boiling water for about 3 minutes. The flavor was barely there, so I left it for another minute at at 4 minutes, it seemed better.
The tea...
Raspberry from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 3rd, 2014
I'm bummed about this one. I'm glad I bought a small sample size to try. The un brewed and brewed aromas are excellent, but the flavor is lacking.
This was brewed as directed. I used boiling water in the French press for 3 min. That seemed too short for a black tea, so I sampled and it was weak. Let it go to 4.5 mi...
Prince Vladimir from Kusmi Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 2nd, 2014
This tea smells amazing before steeping. Kind of a herbal/citrus scent. But after brewing, it just smells ok. Less herbal, more citrus, but very light on even that scent.
The taste is just ok. I don't hate it. I don't love it. I wouldn't buy again because I don't love it. I don't taste much citrus. This taste...
Pom Tango from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 29th, 2014
Good aroma, good flavor. This was brewed for 5 minutes and served hot without milk or sugar. It tastes more strongly of mango than pomegranate.
I liked it, but it didn't wow me. This would probably be great as an iced tea and I'll update if I try it that way.
Cool Cucumber from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend30 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 29th, 2014
Oh my. I hate to be so negative, but this is just gross. It smells like cucumber before brewing. While steeping, it smells more like cucumber and mint, which is interesting because there's no mint in the ingredients list. I didn't smell/taste the melon in the description.
This was steeped for 5 minutes with boiling...
Glitter & Gold from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 29th, 2014
I'm a sucker for pretty things, and this tea is really gorgeous. It contains gold sugar beads and little silver sugar crystals.
Before, during, and after steeping, the smell is awesome. It's spicy and sweet smelling. I infuse this for around 5 minutes.
The taste is very good, and the spiciness apparent in ...
Constant Comment Decaffeinated from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Apr. 25th, 2014
This tea has a kind of interesting flavor/aroma, but it's so weak I can barely taste it, after brewing it for 5 minutes. It's very thin and watery. I tend to like stronger teas. I added cream and sugar.

Gingerbread Smoke from 52 Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 24th, 2014
The aroma is more or less exactly what I expected from a tea named Gingerbread Smoke, it is quite richly smoky with warm spices and an especially strong kick of ginger. Everything about the aroma of this tea is warm, from the lingering memories of a fire to the spices, good for sniffing on a chilly evening.
The tast...
Lady Grey from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 15th, 2014
This is one of the more memorable teas I've tried. Strong (but not overwhelming) flavour, very pleasant aroma. I found a tiny touch of milk was nice with it.

Lady Grey from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 6th, 2014
Lady Grey is my favorite breakfast tea! It has a soft, floral and citrus fragrance and tastes lighter and smoother than Earl Grey. Add cream and sugar and this tea becomes a delicate and refreshing alternative to coffee or English Breakfast tea.

A great tea to add a splash of milk and sugar to. This is the tea I go to to curl up with a book, it just relax.

Earl Grey Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 26th, 2014
I've drunk Tazo's Earl Grey in flat tea bags (what they now call "filterbags") a number of times, and only now tried the newer full-leaf version, part of my attempt to sample all of Tazo's full leaf teas before Starbucks switches to serving only Teavana.
The aroma is fresh and light, and oddly pervasive. This is a ...
S'mores (Smores) from Della Terra Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 24th, 2014
The aroma is crazy sweet, blending notes of marshmallow that fades into chocolate and lastly graham crackers and hint of malt. It certainly smells like a s'more! Once brewed the aroma becomes primarily chocolate with hints of the other aromas.
This tea was surprisingly not sweet, it had the qualities of dark chocola...
Decaffeinated Lemon Chiffon from Red Rose Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Mar. 23rd, 2014
Thank you Red Rose, for the sample of this tea, included in the bag from the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival. I only got to trying it now.
I initially saw "lemon" and thought this would be a typical lemon-flavored black tea, but no...this tea is much more cake than lemon.
The tea bag has an aroma that bears...

Good peach/apricot smell, flavor is medium with a hint of ginger (unique...I like it!!), the black tea provides a good base. The more you drink the less you taste the other flavors.
