Typhoo Tea from Typhoo
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 14th, 2020
I always buy tea bags for eating in restaurants. In the USA, Lipton is the tea offered. I have been trying different brands of bagged tea. This was my first taste of Typhoo. It has a strong taste that does not linger in your mouth. Very dark brew. Has a nice punch that will pair well with an omelette.

Madagascar Vanilla Red Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 14th, 2020
It's hard to rate this product because it doesn't sit still, even though it has just three stated ingredients: rooibos, vanilla flavoring, and vanilla bean. The quality and flavor seemed to vary a lot over time, within a given cup. Overall, it's a decent representative of flavored rooibos, and at times presents itse...

This earl grey had the strangest green unripe taste. I wasn’t a fan which is disappointing since I had high hopes after trying their Assam.

"Ara Cha" Premium Japanese Green Tea from Takaokaya
Style: Aracha – Region: Shizuoka, Japan82 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 3rd, 2020
I purchased this at a Cantonese grocery store in Edison, NJ.
I really liked this. It is a high-end Japanese tea, but is unsorted, meaning that it also contains larger pieces of leaf and stem, something that is often missing from the higher-quality teas. As such I find it has a bolder flavor and more complex aroma.

Half-litre pot at home, made from black tea leaves and small pieces of dried orange peel. Pours nearly clear orangeish brown (against white china) with no sediment.

Cup at home, made from leaves of green tea and what looks like tiny pieces of liquorice root and caramelised apple, cinnamon - the loose blend emits a sweet scent. Pours slightly hazy olive green (against white china) with a small layer of sediment (I used a sieve, not a filter). Clear aroma of green tea leaves, with n...

Pleasant and mild aroma, this tea has a nice appearance. Dark leaves with some golden tips. The liquor is dark brown with a hint of honey color. Tasty and smooth on the tongue. A nice hint of malt.

Jun. 10th, 2020
My, oh my. This tea got a grape flavor. This for sure ain't got some blueberries in it, I'll tell ya'. It's grape. "True Grape" would better suit this tea. It's grape... Why'd it have to be grape... Anywho. I would recommend this tea only to my enemies. If you mistakenly bought it this week, throw it in the trash can w...

English Afternoon from New English Teas

Jun. 2nd, 2020
I found a novelty tin (Buckingham Palace!) of this tea and bought it on a whim. The packaging has EU-style product labeling, but the 2g (instead of typical UK 3g) teabag fill means this was either intended for sale outside the UK, they're cheaping out, or both. The teabags in this tin were collectively sealed in a myla...

Assam Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 2nd, 2020
Taylor's has/had a "Pure Assam". Does the absence of that adjective here make this one "impure" by default? :-)
Seriously, I don't know if "Assam Tea" is the same as "Pure Assam", repackaged and rebranded, or a parallel offering. It has been a few years since I tried and reviewed "Pure Assam", so I can't compare...
Monk's Mead from SerendipiTea
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2020
Here is a nice organic tisane, made predominantly with chamomile and bolstered with some fruits, rose hips, and hibiscus. So it tastes mostly of chamomile, but with a steely, acidic undertone. The aroma is fairly strong and floral. The price is a little high, but I guess that is due to the organic ingredients. This ...

Shin-cha Super Premium (Tokujo-can) (2020) from Maeda-en

May. 29th, 2020
I was surprised, but also not, about this super premium shincha. You see, I know my tastes and I know that I've loved some "cheap" teas because even though they were inexpensive, they were great teas. I've also had some disappointing experiences with really expensive teas. So, I purchased this with that knowledge somew...

Hu-Kwa Tea from Mark T. Wendell
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 20th, 2020
This is an excellent tea. I am not normally a lapsang souchong enthusiast, but this one is quite compelling. Smokey, but not overpoweringly so. It's rich but mellow, with a natural sweetness. Hints of cinnamon. I have tried both the loose leaf and teabags and they are equally fine. Highly recommended.

Sleepytime Throat Tamer™ Wellness Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????79 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 16th, 2020
Strangely, I found this much more aromatic, flavorful and overall pleasant to drink than the seemingly similar "just" Sleepytime. That's probably because it has more stuff that is flavorful and aromatic on the ingredients list.
The common components between the two blends are chamomile, spearmint and lemongrass, ...
GOLD GENMAI-CHA Brown Rice Tea from Maeda-en

May. 14th, 2020
I really wasn't impressed with this. I was hopeful because the reviews I found elsewhere were good. But, this tea lacks taste and body. There's nothing to it. I even contacted Maeda-en because I thought there might be an issue with the product. It's not what I've come to expect from their brand. Their teas are usually ...

May. 13th, 2020
This is a great, fresh fukamushi-cha. I really enjoyed it. I actually got three cups out of 2tsp of leaves, rather than just two cups (the typical amount for this kind of tea). It's very full-bodied, has the typical cloudiness and rich flavor of fukamushi (which is extra steamed).
I went with a lower temperature bec...
