Jasmine Pearl from thepuriTea
Style: Jasmine Pearls – Region: China100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 28th, 2011
Oh boy, this is a super-duper good jasmine. It is tied for first place for me, as it is so different from my other favorite. It is very very flora, without being cloying. The taste is thoroughly Jasmine and I really can't say enough good about it. It will go for several short infusions and it is great fun to watch th...

Jasmine Golden Yunnan from thepuriTea
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: Yunnan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 28th, 2011
This is a superb tea. It is very rich, very sweet, with a bit of a pepper kick to ground it. I am a huge fan of Yunnan and while this isn't the very best Yunnan, (that would be wasted in a blend) it is of high enough quality to carry the very good Jasmine. This is not an ethereal Jasmine, but a very solid one. I p...

Earl Grey from Tea Forte
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5

A mild, pleasant Earl. Clearly good quality tea and bergamot. Clearly too much packaging.

Black Currant from Tea Forte
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 2nd, 2010
This the first Black Currant that I've had lately that hasn't smelled horrid. In fact, it is very nice and fruity, actually smelling and tasting like black currants. I wish more companies knew how to do theirs as well. I must give them low marks for their packaging, with is too much and probably why it is so expensi...

Prince Vladimir from Kusmi Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 28th, 2010
The essence of Russian tea. It has an incense like quality that speaks of mystery. It is somewhat heavy, but light at the same time. It just takes you to a samovar on the sideboard and glasses of tea in the afternoon.

Genmaicha from Harney and Sons
Style: Genmaicha – Region: Japan67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 28th, 2010
I am not fond of Japanese green teas, I really prefer Chinese. However, this is really good. It is sort of nutty, roasty, toasty and altogether a good way to drink this sort of tea

Holiday Tea (Sachets) from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 28th, 2010
When will blenders cut back on the clove in Christmas blends? There's always too much and it ruins what surely has the possibility of being a very nice tea, as Jeff has said

Prince of Wales Tea from Culinary Teas

Oct. 28th, 2010
If I can get past the smell, I'll rate this. To me, it smells like cat spray. I have not tried this yet, but I will gird my loins and do so

Trafalgar Anniversary Tea from Culinary Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 28th, 2010
This has a bit of malt, a bit of astringency, maybe the barest hint of floral. It is a good tea for plain tea drinkers, but can take milk and sugar as well. The Brits are particularly good at blending teas that are always good if not full of nuance or "differentness". Most of the teas of this style I save for mornin...

Jasmine Green Tea from Boston Tea Company

Oct. 28th, 2010
Not one of BTC's best successes. Not much aroma, not enough Jasmine taste. Just not a smooth mix.

Peach Oolong (Peachy Oolong) from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 28th, 2010
I'm giving this sort of low marks because I am not fond of flavoring every tea you can get your hands on. Most good teas have their own good flavors. That said, this was a very nice blend with a good tea base and a good flavor. But I would rather have had a peach and a cup of tea.

Apricot Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 28th, 2010
This is definately apricot. But just as definately green. It makes a wonderful, delicate but very refreshing ice tea. It's a great tea for sipping, too. I think Adagio did a great job with this one.

Pumpkin Spice Autumn Spiced Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 28th, 2010
I think this year's blend must be different as this year's reviews I have seen elsewhere are a lot more positive, as its mine. I found it to be well-rounded, without too much clove. The pumpkin was there and I quite liked it with cream and a bit of sugar. I brewed it for 4 minutes

Lady Londonderry Tea from Culinary Teas

Oct. 26th, 2010
Supposedly Princess Diana's favorite. This is a very feminine tea that you can't quite pin down. Is it floral, is it fruity, yes, it's really both. It smells divine and tastes really really good. It's not one I spend much time analysing, I just enjoy it. It is perfect for a ladies tea party and it is wonderful ice...

Buckingham Palace Tea from Culinary Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 26th, 2010
One of my all time favorites from when I first began to appreciate tea. Supposedly the Queen has this at her annual garden party, which I have been unable to attend. It really is just what it says, a blend of Earl Grey and Jasmine that works very, very well and is perfect for grand affairs, as it is smooth and delicat...

Genmaicha from The Tea Spot
Style: Genmaicha – Region: Japan80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 26th, 2010
This tea was developed by the "lower" classes in Japan, to stretch out the expensive tea. I'm not usually a fan of Japanese greens,but I like this one because the toasty, popcorny, nuttiness makesa great combination with the greeniness of the tea itself. I think this is better than many I have had of genmaicha

Earl Grey Citrus from Boston Tea Company

Oct. 26th, 2010
I pretty much agree with Alex, but I wasn't that taken with it. I think I like my Earl as is, with the exception of S&V's Victorian Earl Grey. Surprisingly, I think this company's Earl Grey in bags is better

Ginger Peach from The Tea Smith
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend23 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Oct. 26th, 2010
Sadly, this was a dud from first to last. It smelled of chemicals and the taste of peaches and ginger were almost non-existent. They came out better with the addition of sugar, but on the whole, simply not worth it, as the base tea also was not very nice. It may just have been a bad batch.

South of the Border Chocolate Tea from The Tea Smith
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 26th, 2010
This is a really satisfying winter tea. I brew it for about 4 minutes with boiling water. At first you taste the mild chocolate and good tea base and wonder where the chilis is, but then your moth warms, as does your tum and you think, aah, that's really nice. The tea is a good base and the rest just adds to the fee...

Not the best Assam I have had. The apricot is very much to the fore and has a hint of bubblegum

Lilac Bouquet Tea from Simpson & Vail
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 26th, 2010
This is definitely not a tea for everyone. I am surprised that I like it, as I am not too fond of most flavored teas. However, this smells like lilacs and I suppose, tastes like them. It is very flowery, but not at all perfumey or overly sweet or cloying. It is very well done and would be an interesting "second" te...

Wild Orange Pu-erh from Chicago Tea Garden
Style: Flavored Pu-erh – Region: China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 23rd, 2010
I had only had pu-erh once before and thought it was ok, but nothing to get excited about. This didn't really change my mind, but I found it to have an intriguing earthy smell and taste, set off well by putting some skin in to brew with it. Mine didn't have a zesty orange taste, but was rather a pleasant, mild, smoot...

Rose Kissed Jasmine from Simpson & Vail
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 23rd, 2010
Oh bliss, oh joy, this smells just like the shrub Philadelphius or Mock Orange. It is delicate but so lovely. Don;t brew too long, 2 minutes is plenty, or it's nasty bitter and don't buy more than you'll use up quickly as the rose tends to disappear, but it is worth it while it lasts

Victorian Earl Grey Tea from Simpson & Vail

Oct. 23rd, 2010
Ya gotta love lavender and Earl Gray to love this, but it is the BEST I have ever had in this category. Make it a tad on the weak side if it is new, if you've had it awhile, put in a bit extra. Wonderful stuff.

Premium Russian Tea from Czar Nikolas II Russian Tea

Oct. 23rd, 2010
I've only had one pot of this, but was it super! Very Russian, by which I mean it had a certain heaviness that makes you think of old incense, but neither smells not tastes like incense. You can get it on Amazon and it is really worth it.
