Organic Silver Needle White Tea (Bai Hao Yin Zhen) from TeaVivre
Style: Silver Needle – Region: Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 1st, 2013
This tea was wonderful as a complete, sensual experience. The leaves are light and elegantly pointed, covered in fuzzy silver-white hairs. They didn't smell like much when it was dry, straight out of the package. It was a bit nutty and a bit floral, maybe. But once I had brewed them the leaves gave off a completely une...

Korakundah Estate Nilgiri FOP Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nilgiri, India57 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 1st, 2013
This tea had a very pleasant-smelling dry leaf, but I could not produce a satisfactory cup by brewing it: it struck me as weak. Dry leaf is relatively finely broken, but smells very pleasing, with hints of wintergreen.
I used a lot of leaf, but in spite of that, upon brewing, this tea came out quite weak. Aroma of...
Golden Monkey Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Golden Monkey – Region: Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 1st, 2013
This tea is interesting. I like it. It has an aftertaste that I don't quite know how to describe, but it's not bitter. It tastes rich, a little like bread or something. I added cream and sugar.

Organic Breakfast from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 31st, 2013
I found this to be an above-average black tea in tea bags, but not good enough to justify the price. These sachets are very expensive, almost $10 for only 15. This places them in the same price range with Two Leaves and a Bud, which I prefer.
Aroma is not terribly complex: malty and robust, but not as strong relat...
Mao Jian Green Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Mao Jian Green Tea – Region: China93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 30th, 2013
The dry leaf looks a bit jumbled and broken, and has a strong and pleasing aroma, typical of Chinese green tea. Leaf looks dark when dry, and is slightly broken, but quite light after brewing.
Upon brewing, produces an exceptionally smooth cup. Among the smoothest of green teas I've tried in this price range.
L...
Black Tea from Salada
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????30 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 30th, 2013
Salada's original blend appears to be weak to us, as though they put less tea in the bags. We used it for years and years. But it no longer has a robust flavor or aroma in your cup, let alone a second cup. While visiting Canada recently we affirmed this criticism while enjoying Canada's version of a cup of tea. Up...

Chamomile from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: Egypt30 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 28th, 2013
First off, let me just say that I really do like most of the teas that I've tried from Two Leaves and a Bud. In fact, their Jasmine Petal Tea and African Sunset are two of my favorite bagged teas!
Second off, there is this tea.... this tea was blech. Just plain blech. My apologies to anyone who enjoyed it, but ...
Bao Zhong Oolong Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: Anhui, China63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 28th, 2013
I enjoyed the subtle flavor of this tea and would drink it again. The smell was a little strange at first, smelling kind of like pea soup, but faded into a more floral tone as it steeped.

Style: Golden Monkey – Region: Fujian, China91 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 28th, 2013
I was really intrigued and impressed by this tea. It's the first Golden Monkey I've sampled, and it's set the bar pretty high for future sampling.
Dry leaf is very aromatic, and smells strongly and distinctly of whole grain rye and caraway. Slightly suggestive of Yunnan Gold teas, which have a similar appearance, ...
Kama Sutra Chai from Shanti Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: India73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 24th, 2013
The dry leaf smells a bit like potpourri, and a bit like a regular Masala chai.
Upon brewing, this tea is quite peppery and almost prickly on the palate. The brewed cup is not as floral-smelling as the leaf. Aroma is complex and hard to describe: I definitely notice the clove, but the other aromas seem to blend to...
Ceylon (Ceylon Orange Pekoe) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 19th, 2013
This tea has a sweet aroma. It reminded me of olives at one point. I really like the flavor. It's full, rich, and interesting. I added cream and sugar.

Royal English Breakfast from Harney and Sons
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 17th, 2013
I enjoyed this in a Barnes and Noble cafe. Compared to Tazo Awake, I prefer this tea pretty solidly. It's perhaps a bit mellower, but I think more complex and smoother.
This was a solid black breakfast tea. It didn't quite scream "English" the way some English Breakfast blends did, but it did strike me as a typic...
Irish Breakfast from Trader Joe's
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Assam, India77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 17th, 2013
I absolutely love this tea!!! It has a bold strong flavor, great aroma, and is totally addicting.....The morning that I skip it for whatever reason is not a right start of the day.

Greenfield Estate Ceylon Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 16th, 2013
It would have been easy for me to overlook this tea if I had only brewed it once. Smooth and light, this tea has a classic high-grown character. But it took multiple steepings and some experimentation to discover how good this tea was at producing multiple cups. Among the best at making multiple infusions of any bla...

Jan. 16th, 2013
This tea is interesting. It tastes a little watery, but it has a kind of strong flavor. I'm not quite sure how to describe it. I added cream and sugar.

522 China Chun Mee Organic from SpecialTeas
Style: Chun Mee – Region: China73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 14th, 2013
I never thought I'd get yet another opportunity to sample more loose-leaf tea from SpecialTeas, but one of my friends had a sealed packet of this tea and I was able to brew it up.
I must say, it stored very well and tasted very fresh.
As the commercial description suggests, this tea has a plum-like flavor. It is...
Ceylon Tea OPA from Ahmad Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 14th, 2013
I love this tea. It has a rich, full, smooth flavor, but at the same time clean and not too heavy. I steep it for 6-8 minutes and drink it with milk and sugar.

Keemun Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Keemun – Region: Qimen, Anhui, China67 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 14th, 2013
Keemun can be really diverse, so I never know exactly what to expect when trying it. This one really surprised me--while being recognizable as Keemun.
A very complex, organic-tasting Keemun (and I mean organic in the sense that it tastes natural and multifaceted, not overly refined or simplified).
The dry leaf c...

I like this tea. It's dark, strong, and brews quickly. It's not too bitter. I added cream and sugar.

Jan. 14th, 2013
The tea is really good! It's strong enough and it has a really nice flavor. I think if Arbor Teas would use this as a base for their flavored teas, I would like them so much better. I added cream and sugar.

English Breakfast from Wedgwood
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 13th, 2013
Firstly, who knew that Wedgwood made tea? Secondly, while I normally like black teas, this was much too strong! It was strong, a little bitter, and tasted too burnt for my liking. While I appreciate other Wedgwood products, I probably won't be having this again.

Jan. 13th, 2013
I wasn't that impressed with this tea, and for its price, I probably won't be buying it. I didn't like the syrupy texture and didn't care for the berry flavoring.

Jan. 11th, 2013
This tea smells kind of like mulled cider. The flavor is a little weird with the flowers. I don't usually like floral teas. It took 8 minutes for me to brew it strong enough. I added cream and sugar.
