Lady Earl Grey Black from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Blue Flower Earl Grey – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 7th, 2014
The aroma is very much so creamy sweet vanilla, bright bergamot, and malty black tea. Not very complex, but still very nice to sniff.
The taste is not bad! It starts out brisk and lemony, just a touch of bitter like lemon pith, this very quickly passes. Afterwards we get a nice, creamy vanilla and malt taste, it is...

Special Blend with Earl Grey from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 4th, 2014
This is another exceptional loose-leaf black tea from Ahmad, strong, and sold for an exceptionally reasonable price. Thank you Emily for sharing this one with me!
This seems to be either a black tea blend very lightly-scented with bergamot, or a blend of unflavored black teas with a bit of Earl grey: it has a faint...

Lemon & Lime Twist from Ahmad Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 28th, 2014
With the first brewing I could detect a lime scent, but it was fairly subdued. The citrus flavors are even more muted when drinking. They did seem to smooth out the black tea for me, but not enough. I would have appreciated a brighter tasting cup.
There's a hint of bitterness at the end, though it wasn't intense. Th...

Strawberry Sensation Black Tea from Ahmad Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 25th, 2014
Not my tea, unfortunately--too strong with the black tea flavor for me. The little bit of strawberry flavor made the bitterness a little more palatable, so I certainly enjoyed this more than I would a simple black tea. The aroma was better, with the same two elements but with the fruit coming through a bit more strongl...

Earl Grey French Blue from Mariage Freres
Style: Blue Flower Earl Grey – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 25th, 2014
The bergamot that makes this an Earl Grey tea is of high quality and not at all obtrusive. The "French Blue" refers to the addition of "bleuet royal" (blue cornflower). My wife and I have enjoyed this blend for years. We believe It is one of the better Earl Greys on the market. It is available loose and in sachets.

Marco Polo from Mariage Freres
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 25th, 2014
Marco Polo is a very successful blend from the venerable house of Mariage Frères. Aside from evoking the "flowers and fruits of China and Tibet" it is a smooth tea. It has a suggestion of vanilla, honey and caramel without a bit of sweetness. Can take a little milk, if you like it that way.

Gorgeous Earl Grey from Pukka
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 25th, 2014
I normally really like Earl Grey tea, but Pukka's is the only Earl Grey that I have tried which I don't like. The aroma is weak, it's a bit bitter and the flavor is lackluster.
I can drink it, but I don't enjoy it (and wish I hadn't bought it).

This is one of my favorite Earl Grey's. It's creamy, sweet, and delicious.

Sexuality Happens from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 23rd, 2014
Nothing mind blowing, but the merging of Caramel, Ginger, and Vanilla flavors makes a richly flavored cup with depth and satisfaction.
Make sure to steep at just below boiling for three minutes as the brew can get bitter.

Tamarind Pop from Butiki Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Nepal67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 22nd, 2014
The aroma is leafy, like fresh vegetation, this fades to vanilla sweetness and a nutty tone. At the end of the sniff the aroma is sweet and a touch floral. I do not smell much in the way of tamarind, but it has been a long time since I sniffed any.
Tasting this tea gave me a bit of a surprise, because it reminds me ...

Almond Chai from Twinings
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 21st, 2014
smell is very good and is exactly what you would expect from the flavor it is suppose to be. Flavor goes in a different direction though...tastes a bit like black licorice to me. Slight spicyness on the end...good, but would be better if it tasted as it smells.

Earl Grey Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 19th, 2014
This is my favorite Earl Grey tea. Well balanced Bergamot flavor. Nice large tea bags w/o strings. It is hard to come by in the U.S. and is not hermetically sealed so the quality varies depending on how the tea is stored. My recent mail-order from Amazon was a disappointment even though the expire date is 18 mo. awa...

Peach & Passion Fruit from Ahmad Tea

Jul. 11th, 2014
Smells like peaches and cream oatmeal!! mmm! Best smelling tea ever! Unfortunately all that richness and flavor in the smell turns into a slightly bitter black tea that actually has only mild fruit flavor. The black tea itself is bold though.

smells kind of musty...slight little burn in the nose...1.5 tsp were in my pot for 4 mins...give the perfect amount of bold flavor...taste is like a smooth black tea but a little boring...not quite as good as it cools...decent but not exciting...longer steeping seems to pick up more bitterness (or perhaps its the lower...

Blueberry Black Tea from Spice and Tea Exchange
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Yunnan, China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 6th, 2014
Definitely one of the best black teas I've tried. It isn't bitter (even though I accidentally brewed it for almost 9 minutes), and the blueberry flavor goes with it very well. The fruitiness is present, but not overwhelming and the flavor seems natural. As usual, I didn't add any sugar, milk, or lemon juice.
If you ...

very good smell and taste....the strength is just about right too...steeped 4 minutes but didn't boil as directed. Perhaps a bit longer steep next time. The amount of flavoring seems spot on....not overpoweringly artificial or an underpowered hint.

Love this tea! I don't like bitter teas, and this one has just enough sweetness to satisfy. Plus, the aroma is heavenly.

Dry Leaf Aroma: Chocolate with a hint of coconut
Flavor: I get some chocolate, but no coconut. The flavor is weak at a 5 min steep. Instructions were 4-7 minutes, so it might be better at 6 or 7 min. I have enough for one cup remaining, so I'll giv...

Method: 1/2 tsp, 8 oz, 208 degrees, 5 minutes, French Press
Dry Leaf Aroma: Smells exactly like a campfire
Flavor: Luckily the flavor is more subdued. I was a little unsure if I could like a tea that smelled so strongly of a campfire. This tea definitely tastes smoky, but it's mild enough to be pleasant. Th...
