Nutty Almond Cream from Tiesta Tea

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend

40 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 9th, 2021

I usually like strong teas and this one has a very subtle flavor with no substantial base to it. When I first tasted it I liked the creamy flavor, but after a while I've gotten tired of it. It has a bright red hue that turns pale pink when I add cream or milk. Probably because of the beets. I can barely taste the almo...

Earl Grey Decaffeinated Black Tea from Bigelow Tea

Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend

95 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 25th, 2017

This is my favorite decaf tea. It tastes a lot like the regular version to me, since the main thing that characterizes this tea is the bergamot flavor - strong but not overpowering, and blends well with the tea. I always brew it for a minute or two longer than the regular, about 6 minutes, and at this strength I can ba...

Pumpkin Spice from Harney and Sons

Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend

77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 1st, 2014

This is pretty good. I can't even tell that it's rooibos-based. I don't usually like rooibos, but this tastes more like pumpkin muffins or something. If I could choose, I'd have it with a bit less cinnamon, but it's good as-is. I added cream and sugar.

40 / 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.

Apr. 12th, 2014

I like chai teas, but this is the first chocolate chai that I've tried. The aroma is mostly overpowered with cinnamon. Alex advised me to take out the chocolate chunks because he thought they would ruin the tea brewer, so I did, but I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to. Anyway, I didn't taste the chocolate flavor mu...

Dec. 15th, 2013

This tea brews really quickly. The first time I tried it I brewed it too long - 4-5 minutes. I tried 3 minutes and it turned out well. I like it. It's interesting. Kind of fruity, but not too much. It has a rich, crisp flavor. It's a little more bitter than I would ideally like. I added cream and sugar.

This tea is pretty good, but it has a dominant spice flavor that I can't tell what it is, and it's a little weird. It tastes a bit tangy. I added cream and sugar.

This tea is good. It's similar to other brands of raspberry leaf tea. I'm developing a taste for this kind of tea. It's a nice evening alternative to regular tea. I added cream and sugar.

60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 27th, 2013

I tried this because I usually like chai and nut flavored teas. This tea has too much cinnamon for my taste, and it seems to overwhelm the other flavors. I like the almond. The base tea isn't very strong. I added cream and sugar.

I'm impressed with this tea. It has a rich flavor. I can really taste the chocolate, and it has a strong black tea that I really like, and it really supports the flavor well. It's a nice blend of flavors. I added cream and sugar.

Apr. 11th, 2013

This tea has a heavily citrus aroma. The tea doesn't taste very good to me, but I don't know what Lady Grey is supposed to taste like. It tastes very citrus and has a weak tea flavor. I like it enough to finish the cup, though. I added cream and sugar.

This tea has a kind of bitter aroma and slightly bitter flavor. There wasn't anything about the flavor that I particularly liked, it just seemed kind of boring, but it was okay. I added cream and sugar.

I like this tea. It has a good amount of flavor and it blends well with the tea. The aroma is really nice. It tastes a little bit weak, though. I had to steep it for 6 1/2 minutes to get it strong enough. I added cream and sugar.

This tea has a notable aroma and flavor of rum. It tastes weak to me no matter how I brew it, just like most of the teas from this brand that I've tried. It tastes a little too bitter if I brew it for a long time. I usually like vanilla teas but this one is a little weird. It has a slight bitter aftertaste. I added cre...
