Lemon Herbal from Harney and Sons
Style: Lemongrass – Region: ?????30 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 15th, 2026
Lemongrass with added lemon flavoring. Very mild. Not an interesting tisane imo.

Organic Citron Green from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????45 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 12th, 2026
This is a lightly flavored green tea, with some orange/lemon flavor. A little sugar improves the experience a bit. It is nothing special imo, but a cup or two doesn't hurt.

Decaf Ceylon (Teabags) from Harney and Sons
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon20 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Oct. 12th, 2026
I don't know what kind of process is used to make a decaf tea, but whatever it is it probably removes a significant amount of the flavor along with the caffeine. Why would anyone bother with decaffeinated tea? Wouldn't it be better to have a tisane or some other kind of beverage? This stuff did not taste bad, it jus...

Irish Breakfast from Harney and Sons
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Assam, India50 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 9th, 2026
I am surprised to see that this is an Assam, since it does not have much of the rich, malty flavor one finds in a good Assam. This tastes bland, but it does have a nice aroma, and it is available at a good price.

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 8th, 2026
This has a strong aroma and a complex flavor. I hesitated to call it caffeinated since it contains just a small amount of white tea; it is closer to a tisane. This contains a bunch of different spices, probably too many, which results in a complex but odd flavor: ginger, licorice, cardomum, cinnamon, lemongrass, pineap...

English Breakfast Tea from New English Teas
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend76 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 8th, 2026
This was the second tea I tried from a 72-bag (24 per type) multipack in a tin labeled "Traditional English Teas," purchased at a World Market. At first I thought that was the brand, but RateTea had no such thing. Closer look at the back/bottom revealed the actual maker. So, as the Dallas Cowboys quarterback often y...

Throat Relief from Dr Stuarts
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 6th, 2026
Stated ingredients of this herbal/medicinal blend are: licorice root, cinnamon (18%), marshmallow root (17%), plantain leaves, myrtle leaves, sage, and cloves. That does sound potentially soothing, though I haven't tested it yet on a sore throat (and hope not to need to!).
Although those ingredients are differen...
English Afternoon Tea from New English Teas
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 2nd, 2026
This was part of a three-tea assortment within a teal-colored tin (also pictured in the photo section) of "traditional English teas" that I got on sale at World Market. Even at normal prices, this came out to around 18¢/bag, which is not too bad in this inflationary era, so I would rate the value fairly high unless q...

Moroccan Pomegranate Red Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 23rd, 2026
As rooibos teas go, it took me a few cups to adjust to the initially somewhat disjointed flavors at work here: fruit-berry and rooibos. The aroma, and to lesser extent taste, both were rooibos-dominant; that unmistakable broom-straw flavor of rooibos took charge hard for awhile. For folks who love rooibos a lot (I t...

Lemon Ginger Herbal Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 10th, 2026
Here was another hotel/motel tea from my spring to early summer travels, now just getting around to trying and reviewing. Not being a big fan of either lemon or ginger, I nonetheless found this tea to be a great balance between them.
The dry aroma was one of the most pronounced I've sniffed in an herbal tea that ...
Citrus Berry Herbal Tea from Trader Joe's
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 31st, 2026
Too bad Citrus Berry is advertised as "LIMITED TIME" on its Trader Joe's web page, because this is a keeper. This tea is powerful and unpretentious, and that's how I like 'em. I might have to grab a few more boxes next time I go. It's hard to beat the value too, at only a little over a dime a bag.
TJ's teas span ...
Legends of China: Rose Green Tea from Uncle Lee's Tea
Style: Rose Green Tea – Region: China58 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 26th, 2026
Based on the dry-bag aroma (or complete lack thereof), I began thinking: "If this is a legend of China, it's a story with no plot." I could not smell either rose or the base tea at that point, and only in-cup did the rose aroma (but not the tea) finally peek out from behind some hidden curtain.
Given that, I thoug...
Cozy Chamomile® Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 23rd, 2026
A couple bags of this tea came home with me from one of the motels involved in springtime travels, since I must have realized there that I hadn't reviewed this tea yet. Here goes...
The teabags come in individually-wrapped foil-paper puches. Nonetheless, the dry aroma was faint, albeit at least like chamomile and ...
Chai Spice from Farmer Brothers
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 14th, 2026
Another surprisingly good Farmer Brothers offering, especially for a food-service-oriented tea line! This came in a foil-lined pouch, with a fresh, cinnamon/ginger-dominant dry aroma that got much more evenhanded between the spices once steeped.
The base tea is finely chopped, gets dark fast, and has a robust fla...
Jasmine Citrus Green Tea from Teavana
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 12th, 2026
Jasmine green tea, flavored also with lemongrass, was a novel and interesting idea in my tea-chugging experience, and Teavana products are generally known for solid quality. As such, I did not hesitate a microsecond to grab an extra bag from a hotel's tea rack to test out.
The dry aroma was more lemony than jasmi...
Hibiscus Spice from Teavana
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 27th, 2026
Hibiscus Spice tastes like its title promises, and that's a good thing. The blend uses a sweet, smooth hibiscus as the main flavor, with cinnamon, apple, and perhaps cloves (all flavors I enjoy), in that order. It yields a delicious, non-caffeinated cup of warming fruit tea that should make a splendid wintertime bedt...

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 26th, 2026
There is a good amount of strawberry in this fruit cocktail flavored tisane. It is one of the better examples of the style.

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 26th, 2026
A tisane made of dried fruit and natural flavorings. It did not have a lot of maracuja taste, but it was all right, pretty much what I expected. I notice that Upton gets its fruit tisanes from a company in Germany, and this makes me wonder if that is a style that is very popular there. What part of the world drinks ...

Lemon Flavored Black Tea from Rituals
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: ?????66 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 24th, 2026
Lemon Flavored certainly doesn't skimp on the flavoring, regardless of how much actually comes from lemon peel*. Both the dry bag and in-cup aromas are decidedly lemony, but with a sharper tone than the flavor itself, which isn't tart at all. The lemon flavor is sweet and smooth, more candy-like, and dominates the ba...

Premium Green Tea from Stash Tea

Jul. 22nd, 2026
Here's another from this year's assortment of newly tried and/or reviewed teas procured at hotels and motels during typically extensive springtime travels. Stash is a common brand at a lot of chain hotels in the upper portion of the price/quality spectrum that still offers complimentary breakfast. This one came from ...

Classic Chai from Teavana

Jul. 19th, 2026
Risen like a phoenix thanks to its Starbucks ties, the Teavana brand has rolled out an assortment of bagged teas available in online versions of retailers like Amazon (to where Teavana's website links point) and Wal-Mart, and found in some hotels and conference centers for guest breakfast areas and catering of meetings...

Glühfix (Gluehwein Tea Mix) from Teekanne
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend81 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 29th, 2026
Contrary to the English sound of the name, this tea has nothing whatsoever to do with the aroma or taste of glue, and that's a good thing! Glühfix is a herb-and-spice mix that comes in ordinary, string-and-tag teabags, but can serve two purposes: to steep and drink as with any other herbal, or as advertised on Teeka...

Lemon Ginger Plus Probiotics Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend68 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 29th, 2026
Bigelow has trotted out a few herbals with lemon and ginger involved, so I don't know how much this differs from the others in ingredients (aside from the presumed probiotics, which I still wonder about surviving the boiling water of the steeping process). Based on RateTea's listings, they are titled:

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...
