Nilgiri Select Black Tea from Wegmans
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nilgiri, India73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 23rd, 2013
This tea is good. It has a mild flavor, I think I would like it more if it were a little sharper, but it's still really good. I added cream and sugar.

Jasmine Petal from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 23rd, 2013
This has to be one of my favorite teas! Its light and exquisite floral smell often has me brewing two cups, which is rare! Its flavor is smooth and subtle adding a nice mellow compliment to the aroma. I look forward to relaxing to many more cups of Jasmine Petal in the future :)

Assam Gold Rain Black Tea from Teavana
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 22nd, 2013
If you like a strong black tea then this one is for you. This tea has the smell of a traditional Assam with a hint of a fruity undertone that you just can't put your finger on. The steeped liquor is a beautiful amber color. This tea is full bodied, strong, malty, astringent, and very tannic. This tea lingers in your mo...

Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 22nd, 2013
This is a nice traditional black tea. It tastes a lot like your standard black tea from a tea bag, but better. This tea is full bodied with medium tannin, a medium malty flavor, and only slightly astringent. This tea is good for a minimum of 2 steeps. This really could be an everyday tea for a lot of people. I find thi...

Monkey Picked Oolong Tea from Teavana
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: ?????83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 22nd, 2013
I will first start off by saying that this tea is well over priced at Teavana. I can buy the same quality Ti Kuan Yin elsewhere for around $4.00-$4.50 per ounce. With that being said, this is one of the best Oolong teas out there. I do find though that you really either love this tea, or you hate it. I love it, my wife...

Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 21st, 2013
This herbal tea has a lovely fragrance while steeping. It fills the room with a sweet fruity scent that lingers. Once it hits your mouth you are hit with the traditionally "herbaly" taste mixed with tangy strawberry. In the finish you get the "rooibos" taste mixed with lemon and blueberry. The blueberry tastes more lik...

Five Peaks Green Dew Green Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Green Tea – Region: Hubei, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 21st, 2013
I'd say this is my second-favorite of the green teas I've sampled from Arbor Teas so far.
The dry leaf is dark looking, with a fruity aroma, strangely suggestive of a strawberry tart or pastry.
Upon brewing, has a classic Chinese green tea profile. The suggestion of strawberry is present, but is like a hint or a...
Golden Monkey Black Tea from Teavana
Style: Golden Monkey – Region: Fujian, China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 21st, 2013
This is a top level black tea, but it can fool you. If you are looking for a bold, strong, malty black tea then this one is not for you. This tea is smooth and delicate. It is very low in tannin. While there is a pretty strong aroma when brewing it doesn't translate into the finished product.

Starry Night from Eastern Shore Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 21st, 2013
I put this flavored tea in the chocolate shelf of my tea cabinet. It has everything you can ask for and no unwanted distractions. Taste is like a melted truffle in your cup, made even more delightful with a splash of cream or evaporated milk, for that milk chocolate experience. The base is a nice creamy black tea so ...

Guang Dong Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Dancong Oolong – Region: Guangdong, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 21st, 2013
This was among my favorite Dan Cong oolongs that I've tried. It slightly disappointed me though in that its best aromatic qualities seemed to vanish quickly after the first cup, but the remaining flavor was still very good.
Dry leaf consists of large, dark grayish-brown, twisted whole leaves, and is intensely aroma...
Jade Cloud (aka Green Jade) from Rishi Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Hubei, China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 19th, 2013
Unlike many green teas, Jade Cloud did not taste bitter to me. It was smooth and refreshing,with sharp, citrus, and grassy qualities.I had a tea bag sample version, and made it according to the instructions. It tasted more sour/sharp as it cooled, and was good for a second steeping. I generally enjoyed this tea, but pr...

Superfine Tan Yang Gong Fu Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Black Tea – Region: Fu'an, Fujian, China73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 19th, 2013
I enjoyed this tea, and thought it very high-quality, but it was too smooth or mellow for my tastes, and I was never able to get a sufficiently strong cup out of it. Its flavor profile was similar to bai hao oolong (with a different aroma), and I find that tea too smooth for me.
Dry leaf consists almost exclusively...
Darjeeling Estate Organic Black Tea from Wegmans
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 19th, 2013
I like this tea. It smells kind of smoky. The flavor was a little bland when I first tried it, but started tasting more flavorful as I was drinking the cup. I added cream and sugar.

Vanilla Caramel Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 19th, 2013
I like the aroma of this tea, but it reminds me a little bit of those buttered-popcorn-flavored jelly beans. I can't brew it strong enough. I kind of like the flavor, but it also seems kind of bland. I added cream and sugar.

This tea is pretty good. It's not very interesting or notable. I added cream and sugar.

Vanilla Bean Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 17th, 2013
The dry leaves have a distinct aroma similar to vanilla extract, as would be expected but also an underlying chocolate aroma that sneaks in later. The teas leaves are small and have a very dark brown color.
After brewing, I couldn't really detect the vanilla aroma in the leaves. Instead, they gave off an earthy sc...
Jasmine Tea Bags from Rishi Tea
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: Hubei, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 17th, 2013
This struck me as one of the better jasmine teas I've had in a tea bag or sachet, if not the best. I'd compare it against Two Leaves and a Bud's Jasmine Petal, or Novus Tea's Jasmine Tea. I prefer it to both; it seemed more similar to Novus Tea's offering.
Slightly perfumey. Very full-bodied; somewhat astringent ...
Irish Breakfast from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 17th, 2013
When I first wake up, I don't have it in me to be a tea snob, carefully sniffing out the grassy hay notes in obscure Chinese teas. It's not what I crave at that hour, and the subtlety would be lost on me anyway.
So, with breakfast I usually like some kind of milky, sweetened, very strong black tea. A breakfast blend...
Traditional Yerba Mate Tea Bags from Guayaki
Style: Yerba Maté – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 16th, 2013
This is a decent everyday tea. It has a slight grassy aroma with a more noticeable smooth herbal flavor along with a greenish-amber coloring. A filling tea with some relaxation.

Feb. 15th, 2013
Fantastic tea! It was especially fantastic when I was home with the flu because it was extremely soothing. I tried to but it online, but was unable to find it anywhere.

Fengqing Paddy Flavor Raw Pu-erh Cake Tea 2006 from TeaVivre
Style: Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 14th, 2013
I don't have a lot of experience with higher-end Pu Erh tea, so I don't have much to compare this to. In the past I've drank (and rather liked) the cheap stuff you find in Chinatown, the kind that smells fishy and tastes of dirt.
This tea was an altogether different experience for me. I didn't have much of it, so I ...
Matcha Infused Genmaicha from Aiya
Style: Genmaicha – Region: Japan73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 13th, 2013
Straight out of the bag, this tea had a strong matcha smell, very grassy in a fresh and invigorating way.
I didn't have a lot of tea to play with - I had only a small sample, and thanks to a spill I had an even smaller sample than usual - so I brewed it as close to the recommended instructions as possible - 194 F f...

Earl Green (Bergamot Oolong) from Rishi Tea
Style: Earl Grey Green Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 12th, 2013
I find it interesting that this tea is sometimes presented as green and other times presented as oolong. The base is pouchong or bao zhong, and it is flavored with bergamot as Earl Grey tea is...it is NOT the same as Yongchun Fo Shou, the other tea called Bergamot Oolong, a tea I like very much.
Edgy, lemony, and s...
Sunset in Seattle from Market Spice
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 12th, 2013
This herbal blend had a strong aroma suggestive of a burned candle, like the smell of smoke that comes off a candle after blowing it out. The aroma is woody and bark-like, and the vanilla and anise are both strongly evident.
I am really not sure how I feel about this one. It was odd. Not bad, but certainly not wh...
