Upton Apricot Honey Rooibos Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Rooibos – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 28th, 2023
This is a mellow, apricot-flavored rooibos, with added sunflower petals. It is all organic too, so I guess that means the "natural flavor" is also organic. The aroma is pleasant, and a little reminiscent of breakfast cereal or scented oil. The apricot flavor is certainly noticeable. Why do rooibos teas all have to ...

Refresh Mint Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Mint Tea – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 2nd, 2022
My first in-person conference this decade yielded a few new teas to try and to rate. This was one. As always with such "freebies", value is based on the online and/or local store price.
This is a tea I would call "socially awkward" if it were a human. It hides quietly in the corner when you expect a meaningful i...
African Honeybush, Mandarin and Orange from Twinings
Style: Flavored Honeybush – Region: ?????45 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 4th, 2022
The dry bag smells like canned mandarin oranges and the infusion smells like orange soda.
The flavor is slightly more complex. I get some of the toasty woodiness of the honeybush and the flavor's nice, but is weak and a bit stale tasting. It's mediocre all around in that there are higher quality herbals and better-t...
G'day Mate from SerendipiTea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 5th, 2022
This is a pretty straightforward blend of organic (& kosher) yerba mate, peppermint, and lemon myrtle. The tea is named after the famous Australian way of saying hello, but I don't know what connection exists between this tea and that Pacific nation. It is probably just a reference to the yerba mate. The lemony, herb...

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 11th, 2022
This is a straightforward blend of two organic herbs - lemon myrtle and mint. Overall the results are quite nice, even if the myrtle bosses around the mint (which I think is spearmint rather than peppermint - how many mints are there to choose from anyway?) I have this with a little sugar, and have not yet tried it o...

Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 7th, 2022
This mostly organic tisane is a mix of rooibos, cocoa, and coconut, along with a little vanilla cream flavoring. The aroma is mostly vanilla cream, with a little fresh grain. The flavor is a very nice blend of cocoa, coconut, and vanilla along with mellow rooibos. I take it with plant milk and sugar. Another very nic...

Manzanilla (Chamomile) from Tadin Herb and Tea Co.
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 14th, 2022
Value-wise, I've found that cheaper chamomile really is best much of the time, since the quality doesn't seem to vary greatly from one brand to another. So when I run low or out, I just grab something inexpensive when I see it. Such was the case here, and I rate "value" highly for two reasons:
1) The tea was on sal...
Bulk Spearmint Leaf, Cut & Sifted, Organic from Frontier
Style: Spearmint Tea – Region: ?????95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 27th, 2022
I love spearmint herbal tea, but it's usually only available as a blend with peppermint. The only pure spearmint that I've been able to find locally in tea bags is Traditional Medicinals and they've been out of stock at the store where I buy them. I normally don't buy bulk because it's often stale, but since I was orde...

Rosehip & Hibiscus from Teekanne
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????69 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 21st, 2022
Rosehip and hibiscus teas, by themselves, don't excite me much, because they tend to be on the sour side. I'm not a big fan of sour teas. Still, as those go, this one's among the most flavorful and naturally colorful I've had. It also has one of the stronger dry-bag aromas—more rosy than fruity, and transitions to...

Tropical Lemongrass from English Tea Shop
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 11th, 2021
Cup at home, made from a sachet containing a mixture of lemongrass, peppermint leaves, hibiscus, pieces of rose hip shells and apples, and chamomile flowers – all organic and sprinkled with natural flavourings. Pours slightly hazy amber (against white china) with no sediment. Intense aroma of lemongrass, apple and ch...

Griechischer Bergtee (Nr. 937) from Tee-Zwanck
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 11th, 2021
One-litre pot at home, made from dried leaves and blossom of organic sideritis. Pours clear peach yellow (against white china) with no sediment. Intense herbal aroma, resembling a blend of chamomile and peppermint. Ditto flavour, with notes of fennel. Amazing how a single plant can give such nuances. Peppery and minty ...

Purely Peppermint from Teekanne
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????81 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 26th, 2021
The version I have simply is called "Peppermint" without the "Purely" or "Soothing" parts, though I have seen the white-box "Soothing" version in stores too. The ingredient in both simply is peppermint leaves. I don't know if it has been wholly renamed, or if this is just a relabeling of the same tea for different ma...

Peppermint from TEViVE
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????51 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 9th, 2021
It's not hard to get peppermint tea right: just use properly grown and dried leaves and put enough in the bag to fill it when wet. They got the first part, and failed miserably on the second.
I've had a lot of peppermint teas, and the quality of the leaves they use stands with any of them, even with a few choppe...
Mixed Fruit from Teekanne
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????62 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 6th, 2021
Teekanne markets numerous assorted fruit infusions on multiple nation-domain websites. Curiously, I can't find this product (by this name anyway, or by another with the same ingredients) anywhere on Teekanne's main dot-com English-language website, nor German, nor their Austrian site .at, which is in English. Yet it'...

Pebermynte Urtete (Nr. 252) from Carstensens Tehandel
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 31st, 2021
One-litre pot at home, made from finely chopped leaves of peppermint. Pours nearly clear darkish brown (against white china). Clear aroma of, well, peppermint, but without any aggressive notes, despite the fact that I brewed the tea for 10 minutes. Clean flavour of peppermint - again, not aggressive but definitely undi...

Honeybush Banana Nut from Adagio Teas
Style: Honeybush – Region: ?????86 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 21st, 2020
Prep: 2 tsp, 16oz, 212F, 5min
The aroma of this dry tea is mind blowing. I honestly believe this could be a dehydrated banana nut muffin in a bag.
Aroma:after brewing, this still very much smells like a banana nut muffin. It’s crazy how well it hits all those notes. 10/10
Taste: There is a bit of a honey...
Cold Brew: Peach & Mango Tea from Teapigs
Style: Hibiscus Tea – Region: ?????35 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 8th, 2020
Interesting option for a quick cold brewed tea.
Aroma: faint, very faint peach notes and almost nothing else. I almost want to try this with sparkling water to see if it pops more.
Flavor: very mild peach ring notes. Not too sweet. Thin body.
Value: fairly expensive shelf tea. Wouldn’t recommend.
Peppermint Tea from Newman's Own Organics
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 7th, 2020
Prep: 1 bag, 8 oz water
Aroma: Peppermint is very prominent. Almost reminds me a bit of the tic tac fresh mint aroma.
Flavor: Very soothing, peppermint and calming. I’m honestly shocked at how good this is for the price. Body is medium+ as well!
Value: This is available at the grocery store for under 5 dol...
Wild Berries from Wissotzky
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????85 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 13th, 2020
Ingredients: hibiscus, rosehip, blackberry, raspberry, salka, lemon, black currant, raspberry and wildberries flavors.
Overall: If you like strong tart or sour flavors this is a good choice. If you prefer something more delicate then probably avoid because it's very easy to oversteep.
Aroma: Dry tea has a strong,...
Mint Magic Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Mint Tea – Region: ?????59 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 23rd, 2020
This is the first tea review I can blame or credit directly to the ongoing coronavirus. We were having Sprouts groceries plucked from within and brought curbside—an activity not undertaken before this pandemic—and the Instacart shopper either mistakenly got "Mint Magic" instead of the peppermint tea I ordere...

Linden Flower (Tila) from Carmencita
Style: Linden Tea – Region: ?????66 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 9th, 2020
I first had some of this drink when living in Miami almost 30 years ago, at a Salvadoran restaurant, without having tried linden tea of any sort before. I recalled enjoying it with pupusas, so another time I was there, shortly before joining RateTea, I saw a packet of teabags at Publix and brought it back, and (though...

Half-litre pot at home, made from an enchanting variety of dried (and, in part, caramelised) fruits: banana, pineapple, mango, peach, apricot, cranberry, and God knows what else (there is no description of the blend on the tea company's website yet). Pours clear light straw (against white china) with no sediment. Inten...

Jun. 10th, 2020
My, oh my. This tea got a grape flavor. This for sure ain't got some blueberries in it, I'll tell ya'. It's grape. "True Grape" would better suit this tea. It's grape... Why'd it have to be grape... Anywho. I would recommend this tea only to my enemies. If you mistakenly bought it this week, throw it in the trash can w...

Soba-cha Buckwheat Tea from Maeda-en
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
May. 11th, 2020
I used to love roasted barley tea, but I've since become gluten-free, and barley contains gluten, so I can no longer drink it. I decided to tack this onto an order from Maeda-en because I was hoping that it would be a good substitute.
Now, to give you some perspective on where my review is coming from, I think buckw...
