Turmeric Chamomile Herbal Tea from Vahdam Teas

Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend

63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 15th, 2025

This is a weaker version of Turmeric Ginger that still somehow has chamomile as the main ingredient by mass, but not by aroma nor taste! As such, one may be quite disappointed if expecting turmeric-flavored chamomile. Instead the effect is of faintly chamomile-flavored ginger with turmeric for color and advertisement...

Cool Mountain Mint from Bromley Tea

Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: Oregon, United States

75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 10th, 2025

Although I've seen it happen, peppermint tea is hard to mess up. 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, an...

Turmeric Ginger Herbal Tea from Vahdam Teas

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend

70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 6th, 2025

Turmeric seems to play best with ginger (even though ginger isn't my favorite herb, personally), so I figured to try this first out of a 4-type variety pack of turmeric-based Vahdam herbal teas. I'll review the others here too; they're packaged and cut similarly to this, as appropriate for the herb being blended with ...

Champs de Lavande White Tea from Upton Tea Imports

Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: ?????

80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 31st, 2025

Champs de lavande means fields of lavender in French. On the product page, Upton brags about how Yahoo Life named this their best tea of the year for 1925. And it is a good one, different from the usual, that is for sure. I tasted a lot more vanilla than lavender, and the floral, spicy notes combine well with the tanni...

Chinese Oolong from Bigelow Tea

Style: Oolong Tea – Region: China

75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 29th, 2025

I expected a rather bland, uninteresting oolong, based on the big-brand mass production and long-ago reviews here, but came away rather impressed. The dry-bag aroma mixes toasted rice with moist hay or newly mowed alfalfa, while still picking up the underlying base tea.

The taste came across nice and strong, as i...

Egyptian Chamomile from Bromley Tea

Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: Egypt

63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 25th, 2025

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...

English Breakfast from Choice Organic Teas

Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend

78 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 23rd, 2025

When I think of what an English Breakfast tea should taste like, after having a few good-quality loose and bagged brands early on, most others have fallen short. However, this one hit the spot right away at a motel, and a few days later at home too, living up to the standard. It left me wanting to try more of both th...

Tuscan Herbal Lemon from Bromley Tea

66 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 20th, 2025

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 ve...

67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 18th, 2025

This tea smells like blueberries (dry and wet). It tastes like a blend of hibiscus, apples and natural blueberry flavor, which are the first three ingredients. In order the other ingredients are: orange peel, rose hips, elderberries, acerola juice granules, licorice root, aloe vera juice concentrate, blueberries. Ov...

76 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 12th, 2025

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 aro...

Sweet Orange Black Tea from Upton Tea Imports

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????

70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 6th, 2025

This is a pleasant, orange flavored tea. It is made in Germany, like a lot of Upton's flavored and herbal teas are, but I don't know what the base tea is or where it is from. Despite the name, it is not very sweet, and the orange flavoring is fairly low key. It contains some orange peel, and it does smell quite a bi...

Chung-Hao Special Grade Jasmine from Upton Tea Imports

Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China

75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 2nd, 2025

This is a lightly smoky, jasmine flavored, dark green tea. The floral flavor is noticeable, but not very strong. It is well-balanced and not bitter, with a hint of ginger flavor. This is a good choice if you want a reasonably priced jasmine tea that is not overly floral.

Chardwar Estate FTGFOP1 Assam Organic from Upton Tea Imports

Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India

60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 27th, 2025

This is a decent, budget-priced Assam. It lacks the full, malty flavor that a first-rate Assam should have, but it is not bad. A little thin and mild, but perfectly drinkable.

75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 27th, 2025

This is a smooth, easy to drink Ceylon tea. It is versatile - it goes well with milk or lemon, and it would probably be just fine on ice. The aroma is pleasantly earthy. You can't go wrong by choosing this.

Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India

90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 25th, 2025

The aroma has a mild stone fruit scent. The liquor (5 min steep) is reddish brown. Flavor is a pleasing Darjeeling. the tea would be an excellent sip all day. I will move it into my regular rotation.

Jun. 23rd, 2025

Overall, this is a great choice for non-caffeinated iced tea, especially if brewed up over a few hours as a sun tea.

I got this fine little blend at an H-E-B supermarket in the DFW Metroplex, where several teas reviewed here were purchases that can't be found at any of my usual haunts in Oklahoma. Unlike most tea...

Calm & Relax from Teekanne

67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 20th, 2025

This is a pleasant little herb tea that is probably worth grabbing on sale, but not as tasty as a few of Teekanne's many other offerings. Calm and Relax has a long ingredients roster that reminds me a lot of Traditional Medicinals or Yogi teas: cinnamon, orange leaves, rooibos, licorice, honeybush, chamomile, lemon b...

NOTE: This tea has changed ingredients (and not for the better) since last update on RateTea in 2017.

Now it is, "Chinese green tea blended with sweet, bright spearmint," based on the labeling of packagi...

Style: English Breakfast – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon

78 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 4th, 2025

Surprisingly, this was one of the smoothest and most pleasant flavor experiences I've had with bagged black Ceylon tea, and perhaps Bigelow's best in that category. How much of that resulted from a baseline of lower expectations? Admittedly, most of the "Steep" line hasn't impressed me much, especially considering th...

69 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 23rd, 2025

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 ...

85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 22nd, 2025

The aroma is sweet, solid Ceylon aroma. The liquor (5 min steep) is a deep brown. Flavor is good, and has a distinct fruit taste ( I get peaches). Overall a good Ceylon. I would add this tea to my regular rotation.

67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 22nd, 2025

Flavored chamomiles can vary a lot in quality, so I figured going in that this blend would have either too little citrus (lemon), rendering it a meekly flavored chamomile, or so much lemon that the chamomile was a distant whisper. Amazingly, they were well-balanced! This was especially true in the aromas, which were ...

May. 21st, 2025

Strong smoky aroma. The liquor (5 min steep) is a brownish red. There are cherry notes that linger as an after taste. This tea might be a good pairing with dessert. I would use it for all day sipping.

May. 12th, 2025

Here's another Mighty Leaf blend I got included in a hotel stay, but I'm basing the (way overpriced) value rating on the online cost, over 50¢/bag in 100-ct bulk box! Even for a really good decaf tea, that's probably too steep to steep for most folks, unless one is so desperate for a very good decaf EG that such a la...

May. 8th, 2025

Somehow, with the "organic" promotional pump and the higher cost, I expected this tea to improve upon the non-organic Bigelow version that doesn't have the "Steep" name attached. Instead, I rated it 20 points lower, with the "value" as overpriced. It costs more than the "normal" pomegranate-flavored green tea from Bi...
