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.

Castleton Estate 2025 Second Flush Darjeeling from Upton Tea Imports
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.

Tippy Yunnan China Black Tea from Simpson & Vail
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
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
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
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...
Mokalbari East Estate from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
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
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
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...

Style: Green Tea – Region: China80 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 25th, 2026
This is a very interesting tea; I don't think I have ever tasted anything quite like it before. The aroma is complex, and the flavor changes as it cools off. It starts out with a grain-like flavor and aroma, and eventually it tastes more peppery and beer-like, with a mild taste of hops. Good.

Moringa Honey & Vanilla from Miracle Tree
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 23rd, 2026
At just under a quarter per teabag (per online price and retail at an H-E-B store in north Texas), this had better be at least a passably decent product. Most teas I've had made of chopped tree leaves (such as a mango-leaf tea I've got from Thailand) taste like...chopped tree leaves, as if one would run small limbs of...

Black Tea from Newman's Own Organics
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend56 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 19th, 2026
My version (with photo uploaded as of Feb. 2026) is just called "Organic Black Tea" with no "Royal" on the packaging. Presumably this is different from the "Royal Tea" depicted in another entry and in the previous photo for this tea. Or maybe not? Either way, it's truer to the name of this pre-existing listing, so h...

Turmeric, Mango & Ginger from O Organics
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend74 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 17th, 2026
This herbal tea comes in standard-sized stringed bags with a paper O Organics tag, all swaddled within a foil-lined paper pouch. That does a nice job of sealing and preserving the aroma, which is well-balanced and strong coming out of the dry bag, and which persists in-sup during steeping.
Some flavor combinations ...
Taiwan Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Milky Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 11th, 2026
The best feature of this oolong is its aroma, which has a bit of sandalwood incense in it. The flavor is bland at first, but gets better as it cools, and has a very light bite to it. For me there is just a dash of cream in the flavor. This is a pretty good tea overall, but it is nothing special.

Ciao Amaretto Tea from Mlesna Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon42 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Feb. 1st, 2026
Two things may factor into this rating, for full disclosure:
1. Not being a drinker of alcoholic beverages, I didn't know what "amaretto" was supposed to taste like, so I can't say how faithfully the tea replicates the flavor of the liqueur.
2. The tea comes from a light-colored, wooden gift box that's co-branded w...
English Earl Grey Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 22nd, 2026
Teavivre took a nice Ceylon black tea, added some bergamot oil, and then put it up for sale at a reasonable price. This is on the light and mellow side, with a good amount of bergamot flavor. Fruity and bright. I would say this as good a reasonably priced EG as can be found anywhere.

Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 21st, 2026
This is a good Yunnan. It has a very nice aroma of autumn leaves plus a little wood smoke. The flavor is earthy, with a dash of iron, but things stay under control. Adding milk softens it a bit. This is a mellow cup, and well worth the low price. Thanks again to RateTea for introducing me to another fine tea selle...

Lapsang Souchong Wild Black Tea (Ye Sheng Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong) from TeaVivre
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 20th, 2026
This is a very nice surprise. I am used to lapsang souchongs that are thoroughly smoky, in fact I even thought lapsang souchong meant smoked tea (duh) - but this is another animal entirely. It is mellow and earthy, with a soft mouthfeel. There is no astringency or unpleasant notes, and it is nice with milk or on its ow...

Vanilla Caramel Black Tea from Benner Tea Co
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend68 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 19th, 2026
Vanilla Caramel Black Tea comes in holiday packs and advent calendars at ALDI, and is a decent drink for the price, as long as one oversteeps it according to conventional measures.
Upon ripping open the wrapper and sniffing within, the dry aroma was nearly nonexistent, with a faint hint of vanilla tea. This tempe...
Fruity Paradise from Tiesta Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend92 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 4th, 2026
Fruity Paradise seems to epitomize the "Miscellaneous Blend" category on RateTea, as it contains pieces of four fruits (pineapple, mango, raspberry, strawberry), two tea types (green and black), a flower (rose petals), and "natural flavors." Though a 4-oz. plastic and aluminum can appears in the photo, it also comes i...

Earl Grey Lavender from Benner Tea Co
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 29th, 2025
Interesting tea, a step up from their standard Earl Grey flavor-wise, but hardly any aroma in-cup and almost none in the dry bag. The net effect rendered a slightly lower rating, though if given a rigidly binary choice between the two, I'd take this.
Revolution's version of this, with the same name, is still my fa...
Island Coconut Tea from Mlesna Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 26th, 2025
I got this tea in a gift box, made of lightweight wood, stamped with both Mlesna's and Metropolitan's branding, and containing a brick of 25 small teabags (about half the volume of Celestial, Murchie's or other similarly square to rectangular ones) wrapped in a single foil-colored plastic wrapper. Even after looking a...

Mango Ceylon from Republic of Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 23rd, 2025
As with most teas from RoT, they come in disc-shaped pouches with tea-holding compartments about 3/4 inch in radius from center. That ain't much space for tea, and doesn't allow a lot of room for inflation of the wet tea either. They come stacked like Pringles chips in a steel can that has a paper label pasted on. C...
