Rooibos Spice Market Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 25th, 2026
This tisane provides an excellent combination of ingredients (rooibos, ginger, spices, and flowers), leading to a warm, unique overall flavor. I did not try it cold, but it is just fine hot. This is probably the best rooibos blend I have tried to date.

Roastaroma Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Coffee Alternative / Substitute – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 16th, 2026
For many years, I've simply avoided this herbal tea, given its promotion as an "alternative to coffee." I can't stand coffee, somehow, despite my parents both being avid drinkers of the beverage. So I didn't even give this concoction a second thought until this year, at a hotel in Denver, when I caught a dry-aroma whi...

Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 15th, 2026
This is a mild EG that goes easy with the bergamot. Pleasant aroma and an unbeatable price.

Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 12th, 2026
This is a light, pleasant tea. It is only my second time drinking a first flush release, and it seems located halfway between a green tea and a black tea. The taste is mild, with a gentle nip, and it goes well with a little milk. There is nothing wrong with it, but I was expecting more, since it is labelled and pric...

Organic Chai Tea from Equal Exchange
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon74 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 10th, 2026
This is a somewhat sweet and strong chai, heavy on the cloves, cinnamon and cardamom, and with a little peppery nature to the aroma as well. It uses a pleasantly potent Ceylon base tea, along with other spices sourced from a farmers' association in Sri Lanka.
It took some tongue acclimation for this lover of Assa...
Watermelon Lychee Fruit Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Jiangsu, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 9th, 2026
This is made with chunks of dried tropical fruits along with some watermelon flavoring. The result is flavorful and fruity. A nice summer tea, this would probably be very nice on ice.

Style: Flavored Tea – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 3rd, 2026
A light tea containing a good amount of peach and floral flavors. One can tell that there are artificial flavors added. A pleasant summer tea.

Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 3rd, 2026
This is a pretty average, everyday Darjeeling. It has a mostly dry, woody flavor and aroma. Unlike many Darjeelings, it goes better with a little milk than with lemon and sugar. I wonder which tea estates are considered the best. So far Castleton is not getting me very excited.

Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
May. 29th, 2026
This is a light, pleasant Darjeeling with a little peppery bite in the finish. The aroma is earthy and nice. It goes well with either milk or lemon and sugar. However, this tea is overpriced imho. My taste buds report that it is not greatly superior to an average Darjeeling, yet it costs twice as much.

Organic Peppermint from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: United States of America80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 20th, 2026
As I've noted here before, peppermint is hard to mess up. It can be done, mind you—usually through neglect or delay in processing the plucked plant pieces—but fortunately, that's not common. Traditional Medicinals did not mess up their peppermint, which is sourced in unspecified part(s) of the Pacific Northwest.

Tippy Yunnan China Black Tea from Simpson & Vail
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 15th, 2026
Great Yunnan aroma, with the expected spiciness. The liquor (5 min steep) is a dark brown. Flavor is a solid Yunnan, this would a be an easy sip all day tea.

Apple Chai Black Tea from Benner Tea Co
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 30th, 2026
Not to be confused with their straight chai tea (sans apple flavoring), this is a seasonal or irregular product that I've found in "Holiday Tea" variety packs and an advent tea calendar from ALDI for a couple of years, alongside "Chocolate Chai."
Here, the apple flavoring definitely adds some sweetness and variety t...
Mokalbari East Estate from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 12th, 2026
The aroma is mild, slight hint of fruit. The liquor (5 min steep) is a dark, coppery brown. Nothing outstanding, mild overall. Easy to sip all day.

Enjoyable Ceylon aroma. The liquor is amber (5 min steep). The flavor is a smooth Ceylon. No surprises. Wonderful tea. I will add this to my regular rotation.

Jasmine Green Tea from O Organics
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 1st, 2026
Sometimes a tea is a most pleasant surprise. This was that. I didn't expect a store-brand bagged version to be one of the best jasmine green teas I've had. Whomever made this for Safeway did not skimp on either the potency of the tea or on the jasmine infusions, which scented the tea quite well for both aroma and fla...

Style: Green Tea – Region: China80 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 25th, 2026
This is a very interesting tea; I don't think I have ever tasted anything quite like it before. The aroma is complex, and the flavor changes as it cools off. It starts out with a grain-like flavor and aroma, and eventually it tastes more peppery and beer-like, with a mild taste of hops. Good.

Moringa Honey & Vanilla from Miracle Tree
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 23rd, 2026
At just under a quarter per teabag (per online price and retail at an H-E-B store in north Texas), this had better be at least a passably decent product. Most teas I've had made of chopped tree leaves (such as a mango-leaf tea I've got from Thailand) taste like...chopped tree leaves, as if one would run small limbs of...

Black Tea from Newman's Own Organics
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend56 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 19th, 2026
My version (with photo uploaded as of Feb. 2026) is just called "Organic Black Tea" with no "Royal" on the packaging. Presumably this is different from the "Royal Tea" depicted in another entry and in the previous photo for this tea. Or maybe not? Either way, it's truer to the name of this pre-existing listing, so h...

Turmeric, Mango & Ginger from O Organics
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend74 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 17th, 2026
This herbal tea comes in standard-sized stringed bags with a paper O Organics tag, all swaddled within a foil-lined paper pouch. That does a nice job of sealing and preserving the aroma, which is well-balanced and strong coming out of the dry bag, and which persists in-sup during steeping.
Some flavor combinations ...
Taiwan Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Milky Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 11th, 2026
The best feature of this oolong is its aroma, which has a bit of sandalwood incense in it. The flavor is bland at first, but gets better as it cools, and has a very light bite to it. For me there is just a dash of cream in the flavor. This is a pretty good tea overall, but it is nothing special.

Ciao Amaretto Tea from Mlesna Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon42 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Feb. 1st, 2026
Two things may factor into this rating, for full disclosure:
1. Not being a drinker of alcoholic beverages, I didn't know what "amaretto" was supposed to taste like, so I can't say how faithfully the tea replicates the flavor of the liqueur.
2. The tea comes from a light-colored, wooden gift box that's co-branded w...
English Earl Grey Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 22nd, 2026
Teavivre took a nice Ceylon black tea, added some bergamot oil, and then put it up for sale at a reasonable price. This is on the light and mellow side, with a good amount of bergamot flavor. Fruity and bright. I would say this as good a reasonably priced EG as can be found anywhere.

Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 21st, 2026
This is a good Yunnan. It has a very nice aroma of autumn leaves plus a little wood smoke. The flavor is earthy, with a dash of iron, but things stay under control. Adding milk softens it a bit. This is a mellow cup, and well worth the low price. Thanks again to RateTea for introducing me to another fine tea selle...
