Premium Green Decaf Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: China88 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 14th, 2023
Solid decaf bagged green tea. Though I like caffeination, I have found I actually often like decaf teas for their flavor.

New England Breakfast from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 13th, 2023
I made a misstep in purchasing this flavored tea. I always have tea sachets when I go out to eat. Too many restaurants default to Lipton or Tazo. This tea has a strong maple flavor. I certainly recommend to anyone who likes maple, I think this would hit the spot. For my tastes , I don't really care for it. H&S excellen...

Aroma of this tea is sweet, reminds of grapes. The liquor (5 min steep) light, clear honey color. Good Assam flavor, with a slight sweet after taste. Good tea.

Passion Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 12th, 2023
Here's the most-rated Tazo product on RateTea, but haven't yet rated here for unknown reasons. So...this is that, since I snagged some at a hotel.
The blend brews up a dense magenta hue quite quickly, presumably from the added elderberry extract ("for color" on the ingredients label). Dry-bag aroma is generically ...
Bombay Masala Chai from Chai Diaries
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????56 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 1/5
Apr. 8th, 2023
Here's a tea that seems to work the gourmet/artisan angle hard, presumably in order to justify the exorbitant cost, and just doesn't live up to the billing. The first thing I noticed about the dry bags (fairly standard-sized pyramid sachets with string and tag) is that the dry product only filled about 1/4–1/5 of it...

Yogi Slim Life Caramel Apple Spice from Yogi Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 4th, 2023
A weak but pleasant tea with some sweet apple and spice flavor. It contains several odd, trendy ingredients like monk fruit extract, cinnamon bark oil, and cardomom seed oil. The caffeine content must be pretty low because I fell asleep shortly after drinking a cup.

Government Street Blend Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Green and Black Tea Blend – Region: Blend89 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 25th, 2023
Here's yet another in a parade of marginally different green/black blends offered by Murchie's, all of which have pleased my nasal passages and taste buds nicely on the way inside. GSB, for short, is the third Murchie's green/black product I've found with both jasmine and bergamot, this one the most bergamot-weighted,...

Maui Mango from Tiesta Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 12th, 2023
With this, I will have reviewed a tea named Mango Maui (Hawaiian Islands Tea Company) and Maui Mango (Tiesta). They're radically different, however. The former is a very good, flavored black tea, while this one is mostly dried fruit by volume (pineapple, orange slices, mango, and strawberry) with flowers sprinkled in...

Oriental Green Tea from Rituals
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????66 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 11th, 2023
As with the remainder of this brand of US Foods teas, it's a food-service product not sold directly to the public, but still available in some hotels and motels. I got this at a Wingate by Wyndham motel in Frisco, TX, drinking some there and saving a couple others to try later.
The bag came in a sealed foil-paper...
Menghai Tiger ripe Pu-erh. from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Pu-erh Tea – Region: China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 10th, 2023
Note: this was a sample included with my order. Aroma is as expected earthy/muddy strong. The liquor (5 min steep) is a very dark brown, with some purple. I would say classic Pu-erh smell. Strong boarding on dank. The taste is enjoyable and lingers on the palate. Interesting enough for me to want to investigate Pu-erh ...

Wu Liang Hong Mao Feng Yunnan Black Tea from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Simao, Yunnan, China85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 8th, 2023
Spring 2022. "Classic" Yunnan aroma. mild, nothing distinctive. Liquor (5 min steep, using the Breville tea machine) is a nice brown with a slight gold tinge. Tasty, great for sipping. PS: The leaves are long. I might have used less tea than actually needed for a full 6 cup pot. Next pot I will crush the leaves into sm...

Genmaicha Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Genmaicha – Region: Japan59 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 2nd, 2023
My experience with genmaicha is very limited, and it's not my favorite tea type, so take this for what it's worth in that context. If the dry smell alone were the basis for evaluating a tea, I would have launched this stuff into the compost heap, untasted, with prejudice. Maybe I'm just not well-adapted to genmaicha ...

Style: Rooibos – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 28th, 2023
This is a mellow, apricot-flavored rooibos, with added sunflower petals. It is all organic too, so I guess that means the "natural flavor" is also organic. The aroma is pleasant, and a little reminiscent of breakfast cereal or scented oil. The apricot flavor is certainly noticeable. Why do rooibos teas all have to ...

Matcha Hagoromo from Ujinotsuyu
Style: Matcha – Region: Japan70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 27th, 2023
I picked up a little can of this inexpensive matcha at a Chinese food shop, and was pleasantly surprised. It is smooth and drinkable, with a bit of fresh grain and rice in the flavor. I have had some low-cost matchas that are bitter and cheap tasting, but this is not bad at all.

Assam CTC BOP Estate Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 23rd, 2023
Solid Assam, good aroma with the expected earthiness, maybe a slight of chocolate. The liquor (5 min steep) is a dark brown. A nice 'clear' Assam taste, with absolutely no after taste.

Nice aroma, with a mild earthy scent. The liquor (5 min steep) is a dark brown. Good flavor, easy to sip all day long. Nice blend.

Organic Lemon Ginger Green Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 22nd, 2023
Now, ginger isn't my favorite tea flavor, but having never tried explicitly ginger-flavored green tea yet, I figured this would be worthwhile, especially on sale. I liked it more than I thought I would.
Dry-bag aroma was sharp, crisp, a distinctly peppery ginger that reminded me of a really good "ginger beer" soda....
Yunnan FOB Select ZY30H from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Yunnan, China85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 21st, 2023
Classic Yunnan aroma with a solid earthiness and a hint of spice. The liquor (5 min steep) is a medium amber brown. Good taste, with a subtle hint of spice. This is a great tea for an all sipping experience.

Aged Puerh Tea Brick from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Pu-erh Tea – Region: Yunnan, China44 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 12th, 2023
So, I am going to generalize with this review as there is not a lot going with this offering from Numi.
After breaking the first bar piece off I actually put this in the back of my cupboard, a few years later it has resurfaced, and I decided to give it a go.
No matter the water temp, steep time, serving temp (hot...
Toasted Coconut Almond Bark Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 18th, 2023
For a few years, Tazo and Bigelow, in particular, have gone on a bender of producing explicitly dessert-flavored blends, which doesn't bother me, even as it might annoy some tea purists. Hey, who doesn't like some yummy sweet treats after a good dinner? However, Bigelow may have overplayed its hand here and missed th...

Oolong Se Chung from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Se Chung Oolong – Region: China65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 17th, 2023
This is a nice, mellow oolong, and comes in at a very attractive price. There is nothing attention-grabbing about it; it is just a good tea. The aroma hints at woodlands and hay, and the flavor offers more of the same, with a dash of minerally tannins and vegetal notes. It is fairly light on the palate, and goes dow...

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 15th, 2023
A mellow pumpkin spice tea, featuring the spices one would expect (e.g. ginger, cinnamon, clove, etc.) I tasted vanilla in the mix, but it does not contain vanilla. Maybe that was coming from sunflower petals or natural flavorings. I am glad they did not overdo the clove or allspice or nutmeg, that is a mistake that...

Assamica Black Tea from Mei Zi Qing Village from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yongde, Yunnan, China73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 8th, 2023
I tried this tea right when I ordered it, but did not like it. It had few objectionable qualities, and was actually quite smooth, but simply seemed a little boring. However, I set it in my cupboard for quite some time and sure enough, it has started tasting more interesting after about a year and a half. Still, it is n...

Royal English Breakfast from Harney and Sons
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 1st, 2023
As with their "Green Tea with Coconut & Ginger", I got this at a last-day estate sale for a quarter (proportionate fraction of a bulk pantry buy). Not per bag, but for the entire tin! That's the best value I've had for a good tea. However, you probably can't match that. So how costly is it, for real? A peek at the...

Jan. 1st, 2023
This tea is really aromatic and smells toasty and bready. It tastes how it smells however it’s just a bit too astringent for my taste but it definitely isn’t the worst and overall it’s a high quality tea, I’m just personally sensitive to astringency.
