Sweet Dreams Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea

Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: ?????

63 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 25th, 2014

Mint and chamomile blend surprisingly well together, creating a flavor that's distinct in and of itself rather than a blend in which one flavor dominates or both alternately assert themselves. I think this is one of Bigelow's better offerings, but I wouldn't really bother to buy it for myself.

Hella sweet. Hella, hella, hella sweet. An excellent tea to give someone who would really prefer to be drinking juice, but not my favorite.

I am so confused.

I don't quite understand how Earl Grey is supposed to work with green tea, but if you put your prejudices and confusion aside, this actual tastes pretty decent. The bergamot is by far the dominating flavor of the blend. I'm not sure why I would pick this over one of the regular blends, though.

Earl Grey from Bigelow Tea

Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend

67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 10th, 2014

This might be my favorite among the Bigelow teas I've tried for its combination of caffeine and taste. But having tried Ahmad Tea's Earl Grey loose leaf first, I have trouble calling this one a particularly good version of the blend. It delivers a kick with a smooth, interesting taste, but it's not going to be my go-to...

I Love Lemon® & C Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea

Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????

77 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 25th, 2014

I was not expecting this tea to be good, but it's excellent. The flavor is balanced excellently between the lemon and something fruity; it's full and citrusy and refreshing. It's free on my campus, but I might actually buy it.

Green Tea - Classic from Bigelow Tea

Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????

30 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 22nd, 2014

I feel a little bad rating this so low because it's not that bad a tea--but there are so many better options out there that I feel like I can't find any justification for rating it higher. This tea has little scent and barely any flavor, and it doesn't even have enough of a kick to justify drinking it purely for the ca...

Cozy Chamomile® Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea

Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????

47 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 19th, 2014

Drinkable, but by a wide margin not my favorite of the lower-end chamomile blends. Not an especially full or rich flavor, with no notes present besides the chamomile, and even the baseline taste is rather weak. I'll drink it when it's free or when I don't have other options, but I'd pick the Twinings chamomile or, bett...

Cinnamon Apple Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????

63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 16th, 2014

Unlike a lot of teas that purport to contain apple, this one actually tastes like it might. The cinnamon isn't overpowering or even especially assertive, which means that the tea is quite sweet and not particularly spicy. Probably a good tea to serve people who don't like tea.

English Teatime from Bigelow Tea

Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????

60 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 14th, 2014

Better than other black teas of the same price bracket, with a richer and more complex flavor. I haven't experienced the same issue with bitterness at the bottom of the cup that others have reported.

Nov. 12th, 2014

I thought this one was all right. It's got that almost-sweet flavor about it, but not as much so as some other varieties. This seemed to contain more menthol than some of the other varieties of peppermint I've tasted, as well.

Chamomile Mint Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea

63 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 6th, 2014

Flavor-wise, this tea tastes like exactly what it is--a chamomile blend with added mint. I couldn't detect much of a scent to it beyond the standard mint.

I'm not really sure where to put this tea, categorization-wise. The added mint doesn't seem to do anything for the relaxing propensity of chamomile, but the mint ...

70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 26th, 2014

Reading the other reviews, I'm beginning to wonder if I have an underabundance of sour taste receptors. This tea is so lacking in bitterness that it tastes almost sweet to me, though not in a way I find unpleasant. The flavor is full and contains just a hint of menthol. I agree with Alex that the taste is very similar ...

Green Tea with Pomegranate from Bigelow Tea

Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: ?????

67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 27th, 2014

With more pomegranate than green tea, this is a sweet, fruity blend--excellent to serve to people who hate tea. I find the flavor light and unassertive, producing a drink that is, in a word, consistent: rare to disappoint, but never impressive.
