Fat Elvis Rooibos Tea from Fava Tea Company
Style: Rooibos – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 23rd, 2019
This tea smells really good when it's in the bag. It has a strong banana smell, however it stills smells good in the cup but not as good. I tasted a hint of banana while drinking it and this is quiet interesting.

Pure Peppermint from Twinings
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????48 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 21st, 2019
Once again, I drank a Twinings product, wondering how this brand gained enough of a reputation or loyalty to have lasted so long. The peppermint in these bags wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Lots of stems too! It reminded me a lot of cheap/knock-off store brands or some of the lower-quality food-service pepperm...

Bangkok from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend86 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 19th, 2019
Mmmmmmm...delicious from the first dry-bag sniff through the cup and even in the aftertaste! Finally again, for only the second time in my experience: a coconut-flavored green tea that really is coconut-dominant, and since I enjoy coconut a lot, that's a good thing.
The best part is that the coconut flavor asser...
Sleepytime Extra® from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 17th, 2019
The only difference I've detected between this product and regular Sleepytime is the addition of valerian root to the ingredients list, and a caution on the side of the box about not driving or operating machinery after using, as if this is some herbal-tea version of Ambien or Sominex. Of course, it's not. I'm writin...

Style: Rooibos – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 15th, 2019
I'm not a big mint fan but I thought I would give this a try. It's a good quality tea but for me it's too minty but after putting some sweetener in it was better.

African Red Bush from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 14th, 2019
Too bad this tea has been discontinued, because it's an acceptable (not great to the point of blowing one's mind, but pretty decent) take on rooibos/herbal blending. As with other rooibos teas I've tried, the first impression wasn't anything to brag about, but it grew on me after a few bags, and I came to appreciate i...

Decaf White Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: White Tea – Region: ?????46 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 14th, 2019
Estate sales can be an unconventional way to try new teas upon which one normally wouldn't gamble the full cost of purchase. In this case, the tea apparently has been retired, and can't be bought anymore, but was shrink-wrapped in the box (never opened) and still in fresh condition. [I got it as part of a larger grab...

Matcha Green Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????71 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 13th, 2019
This is the second tea I’ve tried that mixes a green tea with matcha powder in a teabag. It wasn’t bad! I enjoyed my second test more than my first. Like the Celestial Seasonings offering that mixes green tea with matcha powder, this tea is better than the average bagged cheap green tea I’ve tried, as it increase...

Mango Rooibos Tea from Fava Tea Company
Style: Rooibos – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 8th, 2019
This is another great tea from the Fava Tea company. I bought five different rooibos teas from them and they all got packaged in a nice black resealable pouch. It even had a hand written note with it to thank me for the order and a ton of flyers about tea and the benefits of it. Great packaging and fast shipping. Also ...

Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 7th, 2019
I’ve decided to try a few blends of matcha with other green tea and started with this brand. Given that I’ve never been overwhelmingly impressed with Celestial Seasonings, it was better than expected!
Though it cannot take the place of an actual matcha craving, the addition of matcha added a bit of sweetness and...
Royal Lapsang Souchong Organic from Bird Pick
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Fujian, China85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 6th, 2019
Found this in a Chinese market at the mall in Arcadia, CA. They had a huge selection of teas. I picked up a couple of ounces of this. It was priced at $30 per pound.
It is a very dark tea, black actually, and it has a heavy, smoky smell. However, after brewing the flavor is not as intense as you would expect. The br...
English Breakfast from Harney and Sons
Style: English Breakfast – Region: China90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 4th, 2019
This is an excellent breakfast tea. I find a bit of sugar and milk really brings out the mellowness.

I really like this tea. It doesn't overpower with a single flavor, indicative of a good blend.

Darjeeling (Loose) from Twinings
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 4th, 2019
At first glance, the tea looks odd for Twinings. Twinings's loose teas are usually broken leaf, but the pieces are much larger and appear to be better quality than what goes into the teabags. The Darjeeling is different. The loose tea pieces are tiny and uniform and look exactly like what goes into the teabags. Like mo...

Camomile, Honey & Vanilla from Twinings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend19 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 2nd, 2019
Dry, the aroma of vanilla is strong and it smells kind of like eggnog. The camomile lends a woody smell so that the overall impression is a bit like perfumed potpourri.
The brewing tea smells of honey surrounded by sweet pastry and the impression is of honeyed biscuits. The flavor is strongly vanilla, so much so tha...
Large Leaf Special Tea from Impra Tea

Apr. 2nd, 2019
You can taste the quality of this delicious tea. Very good black Ceylon tea.

Paris from Harney and Sons
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend68 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 1st, 2019
Aside from the blackcurrant, the flavoring in this is rather subtle. The tea base is moderately rich and has a darkness in color as well as taste. It is almost a bit too tart but that's where the faint vanilla and caramel rescue it to give it some sweetness.
It's a good example of blending done well with flavoring...
Sunny Dispostion Herbal Tea from Fava Tea Company
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 1st, 2019
This was the first time ever that I steeped loose tea. I used one teaspoon and 8 oz. of boiling water and let it steep for 12 minutes. It had a calming and nice taste/smell too it.

Kalami Assam Indian Tea from Ahmad Tea
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 30th, 2019
Ahmad Tea provides some of the best values in entry-level loose leaf tea out there.
Their Kalami Assam beautifully exemplifies all that we adore about Assam teas. The leaf aroma is malty, earthy, and slightly vegetal.
I used 1 tsp per cup infused for about 4 minutes. Brew is richly brown and copper in the cup. ...
Chai Vanilla Caramel from Tazo Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 28th, 2019
Being a sucker for all kinds of strong and/or spicy food and drink, I've grown quite fond of good chais, in all their wonderful variety of formulations. As such, my default will be to rate them fairly well unless they prove unfit for human consumption. This rates well. It's not up to par with most loose chais I've h...

Style: Rooibos / Tea Blend – Region: ?????22 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 27th, 2019
In general I don;t like Rooibos, but this has green in it and a bunch of fruity peach flavoring. Supposedly also contains dandelion leaf. Not a big fan of this one.

Royal Blend from Fortnum & Mason
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 27th, 2019
This has a smooth, rich flavor, although with a touch of sharpness (short steeping time is better). It practically begs to have milk added, which I don't typically do. Taken black, I find it a little lacking in sweetness. The aroma comes more from the Ceylon and is pleasantly nutty, while the Assam ensures a malty fini...

Black Tea from Farmer Brothers
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????71 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 27th, 2019
I was surprised off the bat by the unexpected aroma from the brewing tea. Instead of an Assam or Ceylon blend, it smells like inexpensive Yunnan teabags like Foojoy. It's smoky, earthy and woodsy.
The flavor reinforces my guess that this blend is predominantly Chinese. Astringent without bitterness, this tea tastes ...
Roastaroma® Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Coffee Alternative / Substitute – Region: ?????38 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 25th, 2019
I'm not a fan. It smells nice dry, kind of like a cinnamon roll. Brewed, the grain aroma from the barley takes over. I can see what they're going for and the chicory, carob and spices combine to give the passable impression of a mocha coffee, but there's too much dark bread crust for my taste.
I don't think this rea...
English Breakfast from Stash Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend56 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 24th, 2019
The most notable aspect of the flavor is that it's tannic, although not overly so. Still, it lacks much else to recommend it. I'd rather it had a bit more citrus to balance it, but there's just not a lot to it.
This strikes me as a tea perhaps intended for coffee drinkers looking to switch it up. It's also mild en...
