Parlour Room Blend from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend59 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 13th, 2024
This is one of those uncommon tea blends that smells and tastes exactly as advertised—no hidden "flavours" (as it's spelled where sold), no surprises, no Trojan horses. That's a good thing, if you like a smoky rose tea with some fruity elements. Murchie's describes this as, "Evoking the atmosphere of a Victorian si...

Darling Grey (Teabags) from Whittard of Chelsea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 24th, 2024
Given how much of a waste of time and steeping water Whittard's standard Earl Grey was, expectations for this version ran low. What a pleasant surprise instead!
Not only did this tea actually have a detectable and pleasant aroma upon opening the wrapper and sniffing the dry bag, that carried over quite strongly i...
Culinary Teas Earl Grey from Culinary Teas
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 29th, 2024
This is a pleasant EG, but very much on the lighter side. There is not a lot of bergamot flavor, and the tea is a little thin - but it makes a perfectly enjoyable cup. I would recommend this to someone who likes a mild Earl Grey.

This has a little lavender flavor plus a lot in the potpourri-like aroma, and there is plenty of bergamot too. With lemon or lime and sugar, it has a candied orange peel flavor. I preferred it with milk and sugar, which is a little more subtle. A good change of pace from the usual Earl Grey.

Jan. 15th, 2024
This was my least favorite of the 3 holiday-spice-cookie teas that I got from Culinary. It tastes somewhat like gingerbread, but it could use some more sweetness and spice. I had it with almond milk, and it is possible that had a negative effect on the taste.

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????85 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 12th, 2024
Served with milk and sugar, this really tastes just like a Christmas cookie (i.e. a sugar cookie with sprinkles). This is a very successful attempt at duplicating/translating a flavor from a baked item to a tea. It is made with calendula, jasmine, cinnamon, and cocoa, but mostly I taste buttery vanilla cookies (with ...

Jan. 11th, 2024
I will always give a flavored Earl Grey a try; sometimes they are very impressive, sometimes not. It is interesting to see how the teamakers alter the EG formula - I have had them with lavender, chocolate, rose, and vanilla, maybe others too. This Baroness adds lemon, cornflower, and rose along with the bergamot (and...

English Rose (Teabags) from Whittard of Chelsea
Style: Rose Black Tea – Region: Blend71 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 10th, 2024
Two background caveats here:
1. I'm not a big fan of overt rose scent in beverages; something about drinking common garden flowers that I've cultivated, like rose, marigold or lavender, still seems weird to me (even though I do like jasmine tea...go figure!).
2. I haven't had rose congou tea from China yet, for com...
Holiday Winter Tea from Culinary Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 10th, 2024
I am trying out a new tea provider that I saw here on RateTea - Culinary, and so far I am happy with them. I like that they sell tea by the ounce, so that a customer can purchase as much as he likes. This is a well-balanced, holiday spiced tea, with cinnamon, clove, and orange. I didn't taste much of the blackberry ...

Vanilla Spice from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Vanilla Chai – Region: Blend88 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 28th, 2023
Looking over the large ingredients list for a loose tea (Keemun and Ceylon tea, cinnamon, ginger, fennel, cocoa nibs, cardamom seeds, roasted carob, Indian sarsparilla root, natural and artificial flavors), it seemed a little disjointed. I wasn't sure this was going to work. I'll assure that it does, very nicely.

Special Blend Tea Bags with Earl Grey from Sadaf
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend45 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 17th, 2023
This tea came from a Middle Eastern eatery, and I took home an extra bag to try on home well water (instead of our heavily chlorinated city stuff that gets fishy this time of year when the lake turns over). Turns out not all the "fishy" element was from the water!
Here's the second Earl Grey tea in a row I've rev...
Snowflake from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd

Dec. 12th, 2023
For those who enjoy both coconut and almond, this seasonal tea should be heavenly. Sweetened enough, it's like marzipan candy in a teacup. I'm not a big fan of nuts in general, with almond probably being the one I can tolerate best, so the tea likely rates lower for me than it could otherwise. Still, the good news f...

Earl Grey (Teabags) from Whittard of Chelsea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????42 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 9th, 2023
Here's a rare flavored black tea where the flavor itself is fairly feeble, and the tea dominates it (not necessarily in a good way, either). Save your money and get an off-brand, food-service tea at a cheap motel, for an experience that is comparable, if not better.
I got this from a gift pack of sampler boxes, wi...
White Chocolate from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: ?????74 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 25th, 2023
Weird tea, but to me at least, pleasantly so! Connoisseurs of complex-flavored tea should like this, unless those flavors are not favorites. First off, the dry-leaf aroma (in the plastic sack), in-cup smell and taste are remarkably consistent with each other.
The hard part is describing what they are. I can see...
Mélange de Chamonix from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 19th, 2023
This seems like it was named for the ski resort in the French alps, and I could see brewing a pot of this after a day on the ski slopes. I have had if in the past and liked it, but this batch I am rating in 2023 is not up to their standard imo. The flavors seem weak and the overall experience is a little watery. It i...

Christmas Tea from Whittard of Chelsea

Nov. 15th, 2023
I could write some verbose review of all manner of subtleties, nuances, tones, and flavors here, but:
1) This tea doesn't really have any; it's pleasant but straightforward in its presentation of black tea, orange and cloves, which makes it...
2) A slightly weaker (in taste and aroma) version of Constant Comment.

Royal Vinter from Gevalia
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 7th, 2023
Given the ingredients, I expected this expressly stated (on the box) seasonal offering to be a nice hybrid of a mild chai and a traditional "Christmas tea". Instead it had a nice but understated taste all its own.
The dry bag didn't have much aroma, but what I could detect involved modest allspice and cloves, lay...

Nov. 5th, 2023
Here's the first in a gift set of bagged teas I'm trying from Whittard. "Value" is hard to judge due to the innate premium that goes with multi-pack samplers. Surprisingly, I got this at World Market for less than the Whittard website's stated U.S. price! As of this writing, Whittard apparently doesn't sell the teab...

Comfort and Joy from Republic of Tea

Nov. 3rd, 2023
Once again, "value" per amount of product hurts a Republic of Tea tea. I got this as a roughly 1/4-cup free sample near the front of a World Market. Free is great, free is fun! I saw the shelf price, and had to run.
Paying $12 per 50-count cylindrical can isn't fun, nor about $8–10 at chain grocery stores tha...
Royal Grey Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Earl Grey Cream – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 20th, 2023
I strongly encourage readers to try this if they like extra-flavored Earl Greys. However, hardcore Earl Grey purists like my wife likely will offer a derisive, somewhat disgusted pout upon sniffing or tasting this product. Basis for my guess: she did. :-) I love it, so...high rating!
The packaging for the tea b...
Jasmine Tea from Fujian Tea Import & Export Co, Ltd.

Sep. 15th, 2023
I have been seeing this tea around for years, its mustard-colored tins are commonly available in Chinese food shops. My most recent container of it seemed fairly dry and grassy, with less jasmine flavor than it had in the past. Or perhaps my tastebuds may have changed a bit over time. As a budget priced jasmine tea, it...

Kenyan Black Tea with Ginger (Teabags) from Ajiri Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend71 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 15th, 2023
As explained below, my score may be a bit unrepresentative on the low end, but only out of honesty on why. The quality of this product stands out, and it's one of the strongest flavored black teas I've had out of a bag. The base Kenyan tea, with finely chopped leaves, turns dark quickly and releases a somewhat bitter...

Matcha Green Tea Blend Asian Pear from Salada

Aug. 24th, 2023
First thing I noticed was the volume, so let's offer up a round of applause for Salada, for keeping 20 teabags per box. If inflation has to happen, I'd rather have it through higher prices for the same items than the more deceptive, underhanded practice of "shrinkflation", seen in other teas. Each bag is normal-sized...

I bought this 15-sachet sack for a couple bucks less, at the same suburban Dallas H-E-B store as Chai Diaries' 15-sachet can of Bombay Masala Chai. Teapigs' chai, while still somewhat expensive, is *far* better, each pyramid sachet holding about twice as much content, filling it up when wet, with noticeably higher qua...

Jasmine Dragon Pearls from Teasenz

Jun. 24th, 2023
A very fragrant tea and consists of tea leaves and a fair amount of buds. The jasmine aroma balances well with the green tea base. The tea soup has a nice creamy texture. The value is decent, there are cheaper jasmine teas out there, but not at such quality.
