One almost has to try:  insert too many stems as filler, use old leaves that weren't dried right, or silently swap in weaker mints like spearmint.  None of those are the least excusable, considering how common and relatively inexpensive peppermint is, and how easily it grows in many parts of the U.S. (even in the nutrient-poor red clay of central Oklahoma that is best used for making bricks).  Straight peppermint should be a nicely profitabl...</description></item><item><title>Review of Egyptian Chamomile by Tchuggin' Okie</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/7104/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/7104/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/359.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jul 2025 09:28:22 EST</pubDate><description>Outside one glitch (below), this was a reasonably good chamomile experience.  As often noticed with this herb, the dry and in-cup aromas were weak, but the flavor came out rich, robust and undiluted by any of this tea type's usual flaws like filler use or poor-quality storage of the flower.  The taste was a little more bitter than most chamomile teas I've had, but also somewhat buttery or savory—not to the level of McCormick, but still quite good.  That is, between swallowing or spitting the material in ...</description></item><item><title>Review of Tuscan Herbal Lemon by Tchuggin' Okie</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/7102/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/7102/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/360.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jul 2025 01:49:04 EST</pubDate><description>Being biased against lemon in general, I was surprised for the better by this tea, for the most part.  I expected a sour product, given the flavor, ingredients (lots of lemony stuff and the hibiscus/rose-hips blend seemingly standard for fruit teas).  Instead, in both scent and flavor, this presented a smooth, sweet version of lemon with a herbal edge.  It was almost enough to turn me on to the possibility that a lemon tea could be quite good.  Except...

Unfortunately it also tasted a bit antiseptic, an...</description></item><item><title>Review of Temple of Heaven Green Tea by Tchuggin' Okie</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/7100/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/7100/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/356.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Sat, 12 Jul 2025 21:35:39 EST</pubDate><description>Finding a variety of Bromley teas at a Holiday Inn Express in Nebraska, I figured to try a few, both there (which had good water) and on the well water at home.  This one was a winner, probably the best motel-obtained green tea I've had, and up there with several decent loose-leaf Chinese green teas.

The dry-bag aroma was weak, but the tea's smell and flavor both lit up nicely in-cup.  A little bit of experimentation with a few bags showed that steeping this about 3–4 minutes works to bring the flavor...</description></item><item><title>Review of Naturally Decaffeinated Tea by Tchuggin' Okie</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/7090/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/7090/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/345.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2025 23:20:30 EST</pubDate><description>Likely, I'll never rate a decaf black tea in the upper 20%, simply because the processes involved usually strip away aroma and flavor and add some sort of unnatural (usually metallic) tinge to the taste.  Imagine my surprise, then, when this decaf tasted rather smooth and moderately strong, with only the very faintest and barely detectable rustiness.  It also contained a weak but still noticeable fruity element, something like kiwi or starfruit, as well as a hint of damp, fallen autumn leaves.  This may be...</description></item><item><title>Review of Estate Blend Tea by prettyinpotato</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/4907/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/4907/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/344.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2017 20:39:38 EST</pubDate><description>Bought it because it was cheap, and ended up pleasantly surprised. It's definitely better than Lipton, although that's a low bar to jump over.</description></item><item><title>Review of Estate Blend Tea by Tchuggin' Okie</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/4855/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/4855/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/344.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Mon, 12 Dec 2016 10:53:23 EST</pubDate><description>You could do worse.  I got this as a default black tea served at a local breakfast joint in Tulsa (at least they don't use Lipton like seemingly 99.99999% of everyone else!).  Yes, it's richer than Lipton (not hard to accomplish), and not bad overall on the flavor side, but with a rather feeble aroma, both in the bag and in the cup. 

The cup grew on me as I drank.  At first it seemed bland and ordinary, but slowly became reasonably flavorful and stronger with each sip, which is unusual in my experience....</description></item><item><title>Review of Estate Blend Tea by allsmiles277</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/4426/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/4426/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/344.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2015 12:15:14 EST</pubDate><description>I would not say this is the best tea I have ever tasted but I will say it is the best value for a good tasting tea I have come across. I have been drinking this tea for a few years now because Fortnum and Mason Royal Blend got too expensive for me. I let my tea bags steep for 10 minutes to get the most out of them and I use 3 teabags for a 20 oz cup. I have gone back to using whole milk with this tea. It is a very good tea for what it is and one of the best deals out there when you buy 12 boxes at the time.</description></item><item><title>Review of Estate Blend Tea by Rosemarie</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/3526/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/3526/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/344.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jun 2014 09:28:34 EST</pubDate><description>Best tea ever.

I tried a sample out of curiosity from a gas station by purchasing a bag and making it at home. It seemed like it might hit the spot and I was in the mood for some experimentation.

The black tea is dark and rich, especially for a bagged tea. I am not a fruit tea fan but it is a mild taste of fruit present behind the other glorious flavorings of the tea. 

Strong but not overbearing, punching with flavor, and quite refreshing, I went to the local Walmart to try and buy myself a ...</description></item><item><title>Review of Decaffeinated Green Tea (48 ct.) by Jeje1</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/1460/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/1460/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/347.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:49:16 EST</pubDate><description>When I retired and left the east coast I bought boxes (6) of the decaf green tea and I'm now out and unable to find it in California - I have found it online and I plan to order in the near future - I am down to one tea bag.  I do appreciate this tea it's quite delicious not bitter but nice and smooth.

At that point, ANYTHING was better than Lipton so even Bromley looked exotic to me. Not all bad, but very generic. Took two bags to get a good 8-ounce cuppa. Kind of a rustic, tannic mid-palette that is strange but appealing.</description></item><item><title>Review of Estate Blend Tea by Skey</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/1358/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/1358/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/344.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Fri, 30 Sep 2011 19:38:47 EST</pubDate><description>I absolutely love this tea.  After spending years switching daily between a number of teas I now drink this tea exclusively.  When I have to drink other brands now I am sorely missing the great flavor of this tea.

Typical black tea aroma, not terribly complex.  Mostly deep and malty, like an Assam, but with some of the tones characteristic of Ceylon.  Slightly smoky.  Significantly lighter than a pure Assam.

Surprisingly, this tea has a substantial savory or umami flavor.  It almost tastes a bit salty as well.  I can't say if I like this quality or not.

Very inexpensive.  Not what I'd choose to drink every day, but it was worth trying and it was significantly b...</description></item><item><title>Review of Cool Mountain Mint by Joanhenri</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/607/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/607/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/362.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Mon, 03 May 2010 07:36:58 EST</pubDate><description>Introduce to this tea by a friend of mine who had just returned from vacation.
