Apple Refresh from Ahmad Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 28th, 2014
Of all four of Ahmad's fruit-flavored black teas, this is the one I liked the least. It has a fairly artificial apple flavoring...it does not smell at all like an actual apple, but rather, like the "green apple" candy flavor, familiar to me from my childhood.
I don't know if Ahmad uses a different base tea for thei...

Mango Ceylon from Republic of Tea

I like the convenience of RoT's round brown tea bags - and Mango Ceylon is a fruity, good-tasting choice - but I much prefer the ginger peach. Makes a good iced tea.

Lady Grey from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
Meh. Again, I was underwhelmed by this tea from Twinings. Like their Earl Grey tea, I certainly appreciated the use of citrus to balance out the black tea. However, I found the overall effect unimpressive. I really need to try a high quality Earl Grey or Lady Grey tea to give these styles a fair shot. I'm glad I have a...

Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
This was my first time tasting an Earl Grey tea. I definitely appreciated the bergamot orange balancing out the black tea flavor a bit, though it still wasn't enough for me to outright enjoy this tea. On its own, it was still too tanniny, or something (bitter isn't quite the right word). With food (I had fried eggs) it...

Organic Earl Grey from Divinitea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 22nd, 2014
A medium-bodied Earl Grey, tending slightly towards the perfumey side of aroma, less towards citrus. The base tea is rich and malty, and brews a clear red-orange liquor.
Light to moderate bitterness; I get the sense that that there's less of the fresh, biting bitterness coming from the bergamot, and more of a muted...

Lemon & Lime Twist from Ahmad Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 21st, 2014
I think this is by far the best lemon tea I've had in a bag! I really can't wait to get more.
Because it's atypical of me to like any type of flavored tea, especially lemon, I feel that my liking this tea *a lot* is substantial.
I brewed it on the light side for 3 minutes, and was elated with the results: a f...

Strawberry Sensation Black Tea from Ahmad Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 21st, 2014
Aroma is, well, very strawberry-ey. Smells initially like strawberry and little else, a little like strawberry jam or strawberry shortcake...not so much like fresh strawberries.
The base tea is not as evident, aroma-wise, but it shines through in the flavor: bold, with a bit of bite. Brews a rich brown color, but ...

Cinnamon Tempest from Trader Joe's
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 21st, 2014
Thank you Jenna for sharing this one with me.
I thought this was impressive, a few steps up in quality from Trader Joe's other teas. The tea bag smells strongly of cinnamon, but it's a very natural, organic-smelling cinnamon, like real cinnamon sticks, not like most flavored teas. The orange and clove is only a hi...

Winter Spice Cake from Octavia Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 20th, 2014
I thought this blend had too many different flavors in it, and they did not seem to blend well. It's like an orange spice tea, with added vanilla, rose, and almond. Vanilla and almond blend well, orange and spice blend well, but I find that all together, the flavors conflict. Combine this with a weak base tea and yo...

Cherry Black Tea from Impra Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 19th, 2014
Another tea bag purchased from Bell's Market in NE Philly. I was expecting to like this flavored tea a lot less than the blackcurrant, because I tend to like blackcurrant as a flavoring with tea much more than cherry.
This has an artificial-smelling cherry scent. It smells more like cherry syrup or an artificially...

Blackcurrant Black Tea from Impra Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 18th, 2014
I'm a huge fan of Twinings blackcurrant-flavored black tea, and it's the only example of such a tea that I've ever tried, so I was curious to try this one. Unfortunately, I don't like it as much.
The fruit flavoring is much stronger in this tea...it's so strong that walking out of the room, and coming back, I can s...

Lemon & Lime Twist from Ahmad Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 15th, 2014
An interesting change of pace; not my favorite.
Much more lime than lemon in the aroma; this is no standard lemon black tea. The base tea is bold, strong, and malty. The overall effect is a very edgy cup, completely unlike how adding lemon usually takes the edge off a strong black tea.
Nice, and interesting, bu...

Peach & Passion Fruit from Ahmad Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 13th, 2014
It's a select group of fruit-flavored teas that I like, and it's even less frequent that there's an inexpensive one in a tea bag that is among my favorites--but this is one of these teas.
Aroma is fruity but pungent and deep; the fruitiness is not transient or fleeting, but rather is persistent, and accompanied by d...

Hot Sweet Cinnamon from Art of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 12th, 2014
The aroma is loaded with cinnamon and spices with a hint of liqueur. The brewed tea smells a lot like Red Hot candies, tons of sweet cinnamon with a hint of orange and black tea.
The taste is, well kinda painful. Way too much cinnamon and cloves make it bitter, artificial, and mouth numbing. The taste of the base t...

Only bergamot smell and taste, but that isn't really a bad thing, just not a diverse tea...decent x2

Feb. 12th, 2014
Thank you to my friend Liz for sharing this one with me. Take my review in the context that I tend not to like fruit-flavored tea bags, so although my rating number is not great, this is actually a pretty positive review: I'm comparing it against all my favorite loose-leaf artisan teas.
Tea bag smells intensely fru...

Beet Cabbage - Savory Tea from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 28th, 2014
I got this as a free sample at the Philly Coffee and Tea Fest 2013. I actually was excited to try this. Never saw it before, but I really like Numi teas and Beet Cabbage-I mean, who would of thought. Said to let steep for 10 mins-which I did. It had a red color to it, but it wasn't as red as you would think being b...

Mango Maui Black Tea from Hawaiian Islands Tea Company
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 28th, 2014
Smells great - a strong fruity Mango/Tropical scent but doesn't taste nearly as good as it sounds/smells. In fact - if yuou sweeten it it is cloying and "fakey-mango".
I got this for free from my mother-in-law who visited Hawaii. I don;t think I'd go out of my way to seek this brand out, nor purchase it.
Too bad...

English Afternoon from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 28th, 2014
I am not a fan or Earl Grey - and I could not tell by the tea-bag packet (sachet) that this would have an orangey-citursy-bergamotlike twang to it. As a result, I like the other Ahmads I have tried better (English Breakfast).
Decent - but not a fave.

This alluring, red tin, contains a personality be prepared to help you accomplish long nights of work or study.
It will be the best friend to an orange-cranberry scone, but it won't be your cat's; for this tea is spicy, bitter, slightly sweet, and aromatic. Perhaps the best deterrent to your cat's habit of jumping o...

Apple Cider from Eastern Shore Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend30 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 28th, 2014
I'm not sure if this product was discontinued or unavailable during a certain time of the year. I made my purchase in October 2013, rearing up for apple cider, pumpkin pie, and spooky nights.
Quite a disappointment. It lacks the spicy, seasonal flavor I was hoping it would embody. It's not a very acidic tea, nor bit...

Caramel Tea from Culinary Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 26th, 2014
The aroma is very sweet with notes of burnt sugar and vanilla with a hint of black tea, it very much so smells like tea and candy. Once brewed the aroma becomes quite malty and rich with notes of toffee and creamy sweetness.
The taste is pretty intense tasting almost more like a caramel mochiatto than tea! Strong no...

Vanilla Bean from Mighty Leaf Tea

Jan. 24th, 2014
This tea has, unsurprisingly, a distinctly 'black tea lightly sweetened with vanilla' aroma. (In fact, the only other ingredient listed is "natural flavors".) In general, I like the simplicity of its design. After tasting it, I'm a fan of the vanilla, but I think I may not be a black tea person. I prefer teas that don'...

My favourite tea, the double bergamot really has no competition when it comes to other earl greys.
