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...

Strawberry Citrus Fruit Melange from Upton Tea Imports
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
Style: Green Tea – Region: Brazil76 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
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
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend79 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
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...

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.

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

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...

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

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...
