Earl Grey Tea from Frontier
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 17th, 2013
An Earl Grey with a classic flavor profile, but on the weak side. I see on Frontier's new website that this tea uses the Irish Breakfast Tea as a base, probably a good choice because a strong base tea is needed to hold its own against the bergamot flavoring.
Dry leaf is finely broken, and has a classic Earl Grey fl...

It's very smooth on the tongue and not overwhelmingly lemon flavored. Two thumbs up!

Irish Breakfast from Frontier
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: India63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5

This tea is interesting. The first thing I notice is that it smells like beets - not a flavor that I like to associate with tea, at least not in this context. The flavor is good, though. At first it seemed weird, but after a few sips it started to taste really good. I added cream and sugar.

This tea is too bitter and not strong enough for my taste. It even has a bitter aroma that I don't like. I added cream and sugar.

Hibiscus Flowers, Cut & Sifted, Organic from Frontier
Style: Hibiscus Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 18th, 2012
I tend to not like hibiscus tea hot, but I do enjoy it as an iced drink on very hot days. To this end I like to brew it very weakly. It can be quite refreshing, if you want a fruit-like drink that does not contain any sugar or sweetness.
I thought this particular batch was quite good, and very reasonably priced fo...
Darjeeling Tea from Frontier
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 25th, 2012
I really enjoyed the smell of the dry leaf of this tea, although any aroma was lost after brewing. I thought the flavor was good and I didn't think it was as bitter as other brands I've had, such as Two Leaves and A Bud. I'm also a big fan of this tea being organic and fair trade.

Rooibos Tea from Frontier
Style: Rooibos – Region: South Africa67 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 24th, 2012
A strong, Assam-like rooibos, if that's possible. Dry leaf is pleasingly aromatic.
Aroma is rather strong, earthy, and woody, and considerably more peppery and spicy than I am used to for rooibos, less fruity. Rather heavy and thick. Not exactly bitter, but seems to have more bite than a typical rooibos. This is...
Assam Tea from Frontier
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India70 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 23rd, 2012
A classic Assam: no particularly outstanding qualities, yet a solid tea and pleasing to drink, especially for people who like strong, dark teas.
Strong, malty, with some fruity qualities. Some astringency and bitterness but less than a typical Assam. In spite of being orthodox tea of a decent grade, the leaf infus...
Darjeeling Tea from Frontier
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 23rd, 2012
This tea was stored in glass jars in a co-op. I have no idea how fresh it was; the dry leaf smelled fresh and pleasing, but the brewed cup was slightly disappointing. The storage conditions were not optimal, and there was no date, so it could have been that this was just a bit old.
Dry leaf is pleasingly aromatic,...
