Pineapple Strawberry from Hawaiian Natural Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend69 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 5th, 2025
This tea came in a 3-blend variety box, with sealed paper wrappers segregated into 3 plastic bags by flavor. Each blend (along with Mango Peach and Passionfruit Orange) also is sold in a 20-bag box unto itself, and purports to imbue the intrepid tea chugger with the spirit of the islands. Since I was there to photogr...

Turmeric Citrus Ginger Herbal Tea from Vahdam Teas
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 3rd, 2025
Another car in a train of new turmeric-based teas by Vahdam, "Turmeric Citrus Ginger Herbal Tea" takes "Turmeric Ginger Herbal Tea" and adds a little bit of citrus, but not by much. This makes it a little bit better, but not by much.
The aroma and flavor are basically identical to "Turmeric Ginger Herbal Tea" (alr...
Vanilla Chai Black Tea from Great Value
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend56 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 27th, 2025
I got some of this tea at a vacation cottage in Hawaii (yes, more Hawaiian teas coming soon..but this first!). I was not impressed at all. The tea smelled pretty nice in dry form, with a lot of vanilla and a little chai, but tasted extremely weak, so that I had to use two bags per cup to get much flavor. Even then, ...

East Frisian Blend Black Tea from Simpson & Vail

As should be expected, strong earthy aroma with a hint of fruit. the liquor (s min steep) is a deep brown with a slight red. Flavor is a nice strong black tea blend. This tea is an all sipping choice.

Salted Caramel from Tea & Absinthe
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 23rd, 2025
Excellent tea! I like this one a lot. Its flavor is pleasantly strong without feeling fake or overwhelming. It did not brew up bitter at all. I put the loose leaf into a basket in a Keurig-like device, as that’s what I currently use for brewing at work. I got two very nice steeps out of the sample size, so that helps...

Solid tea! The aroma is nice, the tea is tasty, and I enjoy the Alice in Wonderland theme. :-)

Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 22nd, 2025
The aroma is a strong black blend, with a 'peachy' under tone. The liquor is a deep amber (5 min steep). The taste is very enjoyable, the Oolong addition mellows the blend a bit. This would be an all day sipping tea for me. I will work this tea into my regular rotation.

Turmeric Chamomile Herbal Tea from Vahdam Teas
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend63 / 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 States75 / 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: Blend70 / 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: China75 / 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: Egypt63 / 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: Blend78 / 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
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend66 / 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...

Benefits Blueberry & Aloe Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend67 / 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...

Temple of Heaven Green Tea from Bromley Tea
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: China76 / 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...

Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China75 / 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.

Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India60 / 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.

Kenilworth Estate OP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Kandy, Sri Lanka75 / 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.

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.

Hibiscus Mint Tea from Nile Valley Teas
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
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
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend67 / 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...

Marrakesh Mint Tea from Mighty Leaf Tea

Jun. 9th, 2025
NOTE: This tea has changed ingredients (and not for the better) since last update on RateTea in 2017. It used to be, "China Gunpowder green tea blended with refreshing Moroccan peppermint," per website of that era. Now it is, "Chinese green tea blended with sweet, bright spearmint," based on the labeling of packagi...
