Kama Sutra Chai from Shanti Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: India60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
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.

Organic Idulgashinna Estate Ceylon Green Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Green Tea – Region: Uva, Sri Lanka60 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 11th, 2013
A dark-colored green tea with a brisk character, reminiscent of gunpowder or chun mee. Produces a bold cup that is more flavorful than aromatic.
Aroma is mild and herbaceous, a little dusty and suggestive of smokiness, and flavor is quite sour and a little sharp. Has a strong cooling quality. If it were summer, I...
Wild Rock Oolong Tea (Da Hong Pao) from Wild Tea Qi
Style: Da Hong Pao – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 11th, 2013
The dry leaf looks brown with greenish tinges and is quite aromatic. Greener-looking than any other Da Hong Pao I've seen before.
The instant I poured water over the leaf, there was a huge explosion of aroma...wow! I used a much shorter steeping than I normally would.
Subtle in flavor: little bitterness, but co...
Bao Zhong Oolong Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: Anhui, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 11th, 2013
Long, wiry leaf is dark in color for a pouchong / Bao Zhong.
Upon brewing, produces an intensely aromatic cup! Aroma floral, honey-like, and very complex. Buttery smooth yet with depth and richness. Full-bodied yet without much astringency.
I brewed a second cup, and while it was still quite flavorful and full...

This tea is very pleasant, easy to drink, and has a somewhat floral scent and flavor. It tastes very similar to green tea to me

Warm Apple Cider from Shanti Tea
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: China30 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 10th, 2013
The aroma is almost repulsive to me, but I don't like high-quality green teas, and this tea has a base of green oolong. The flavor is subtle. It's not as strong as I would like it, but the ginger stands out, and I don't like that. I added cream and sugar.

Smoked Maple from Shanti Tea
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 9th, 2013
This tea has an interesting aroma. It smells kind of like burning wood. It's a little weird. I like the flavor, though. It's smooth. I didn't know this was oolong when I tried it, and I was surprised to find out. It's very dark. I added cream and sugar.

Precious White Peach White Tea from Teavana
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 8th, 2013
I do think this tea is a bit expensive for two ounces. The flavor is nice without sugar. You taste the hint of floral notes after the hint of peach. It is light to taste. Was told this would be good before sleeping, haven't been able to test this yet, will follow up on the effects on my sleep.

Yerba Mate, Loose from Wegmans
Style: Yerba Maté – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 8th, 2013
I was not impressed by this Yerba mate. I'm no expert in Mate but I've tried a variety of sources, green and roasted, and this one is probably the worst I've tried of all the green yerba mate I've sampled.
The dry leaf is very finely broken, full of fine dust, which makes brewing quite messy. Not particularly arom...
Hoji-cha, Roasted Green Tea (Loose) from Yamamotoyama
Style: Hojicha – Region: Japan73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 8th, 2013

Vanilla Bean Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 8th, 2013
This tea has a notable aroma and flavor of rum. It tastes weak to me no matter how I brew it, just like most of the teas from this brand that I've tried. It tastes a little too bitter if I brew it for a long time. I usually like vanilla teas but this one is a little weird. It has a slight bitter aftertaste. I added cre...

Makaibari Estate Green Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Green Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 8th, 2013
My favorite ever green tea was a long-leaf green from Makaibari estate. This is a very different tea, and alas, I did not enjoy it quite as much, but it was still a very good tea.
I find this tea tastes more like Chinese green teas than most green teas I've tried from India; it reminds me of some Sri Lankan teas ma...
Quality Blend Tea - Olde McCormick Tea House from McCormick
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 8th, 2013
McCormick tea never gets bitter like Lipton does, for instance, when you brew it strong so that you can add milk. So if you like strong tea with milk it is the best ever!!
I'm sooo sorry to hear that it was discontinued. I had a lot earlier because I couldn't get it in Colorado and now I'm out totally. It has alway...
Hao-Ya 'B' Superfine Keemun from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Keemun Hao Ya B – Region: China93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 7th, 2013
This is the only Keemun I've ever tried that didn't smell like perfume. It's got a natural but slight sweetness to it, but it's not overwhelming. Honestly, the only reason I haven't ordered giant tins of this stuff is because it's quite pricey. Well worth it as a once in a while treat, though!

TB05: Mincing Lane Breakfast Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 7th, 2013
Oh, this is wonderful tea. It's got the maltiness of the Assam but has that slight peppery aftertaste from the Yunnan... I'm starting to think Upton does the best breakfast blends in the business.

Jan. 7th, 2013
Wow. I wasn't expecting to like this tea as much as I did. Unlike any vanilla-flavored tea I have ever had.
Dry leaf has an intoxicating aroma, suggestive of high-quality vanilla extract, and rum.
The aroma of the cup is just as potent upon brewing, and is quite rum-like. There are tones of spice that come out...
Coconut Black Tea from Arbor Teas

This tea has a kind of rum-like aroma. I can't brew it strong enough. After 8 minutes it starts to taste a little bitter. I like the flavor, though. I added cream and sugar.

I didn't really enjoy this tea, but my spouse did. She liked the sweetness of it. To me it tasted a bit odd, maybe because of the sweetness...

Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: ?????87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 7th, 2013
This is the best caffeine free tea I have tasted - not weak at all!
I received a box as a gift and haven't been able to find it anywhere. I am hoarding my remaining bags.
BTW - the region is West South Africa
Wuppertal, located west of the Cedarburg mountains in South Africa’s Cape province
Decaf Vanilla Nut Creme Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 6th, 2013
When I first tried this tea I loved it, but after I've been drinking it for a while, I now think it has a really weak base tea. I still like the flavoring. It has a nice sweet, creamy flavor. I love nut-flavored teas. I think it has a similar appeal to a caramel latte. I added cream and sugar.

Jan. 6th, 2013
This tea is pretty good. It's smooth. I added cream and sugar. I found it confusing that it was listed as a sachet when it's really a teabag.

Masala Chai Black Tea from Arbor Teas

Jan. 6th, 2013
This chai has a weak tea flavor, even after brewing it for a long time. The dominant flavor is of ginger, and it's a little too much for me. Overall, it's okay. I added cream and sugar.

Jan. 5th, 2013
Aroma of the dry leaf and spices is pleasantly pungent, typical for a high-quality Masala chai blend.
I prepared this blend with and without milk. I thought it was better with milk.
Upon brewing, this tea takes on a different character. Suggestive of gingerbread, like warm gingerbread cookies. There is a sligh...
