Organic Decaf English Breakfast from Paisley Label Tea (Paisley Tea Co)
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend37 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Aug. 20th, 2012
This tea smells kind of like green tea, which I don't like. The flavor is kind of bland, but okay. I would never buy it because I can find cheaper versions of basic decaf black tea that taste better. I added cream and sugar.

Superfine Pre-Ming Dragon Well Long Jing Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 20th, 2012
This struck me as a very high-quality tea, quite distinct from any other dragon well / long jing, and unlike anything I have ever tried. A bit more like yellow tea than green tea.
Dry leaf is golden-green, and has a very fine and extremely dusty appearance, and is very powerfully aromatic, with a deeper, toastier a...
Organic Earl Grey (Formerly Double Earl Grey) from Paisley Label Tea (Paisley Tea Co)
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 19th, 2012
This doesn't taste like double Earl Grey, in fact I can barely taste the bergamot at all. But even as a plain black tea, I don't like it much because it's a bit too bitter, and it has a very bitter aftertaste. It strengthens very quickly. I usually like tea strong, and I found that 2 minutes was a good brewing time. I ...

Cardamon Tea (Cardamom Tea, Loose) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 18th, 2012
I really liked this tea when I first tried it, but I got tired of it after a while. I didn't really know what I thought of cardamom before trying it, but now I think I like cardamom. I usually like chai tea, so it's not surprising. The flavor blends nicely with the tea. I brewed it too weak the first time - it takes ab...

Caramel Latte from Shanti Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 17th, 2012
This tea smells like heaven on a bun, minus the bun (as my friend would say). It has a rich, smoky, roasty, sweet caramel-flavored aroma, which I, as a coffee and sweets lover, am drawn to. So I was a bit disappointed by the taste, but it was still very good. I love caramel-flavored teas, but I can't taste the caramel ...

Irish Breakfast from Epi Tea
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 17th, 2012
Tea bag has little aroma, but upon brewing the aroma really emerges...rich, malty, and complex.
Brews a very dark cup, very full-bodied and thick. Although this is among the most full-bodied teas I've sampled in quite a long time, and the aroma is powerful, the flavor is surprisingly weak, especially for this style...
Lavender Earl Grey from Epi Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 16th, 2012
Brews a very dark cup, quite strong but without being overwhelming.
Aroma is very complex: the inclusion of lavender with a robust, malty base tea produces an illusion of spice, suggestive of mace, allspice, or cinnamon, and a rich, bready quality. There's a lacey sort of floral and fruity quality, almost suggesti...
Fengqing Dragon Pearl Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 16th, 2012
In spite of having tried quite a few Yunnan teas by now, this was something completely different for me! Very interesting, although a little bit difficult to brew to satisfaction. The dry leaf, rolled into dense spheres, has only a mild aroma, more suggestive of Keemun than other Yunnan teas.
I first used a small ...
Breakfast Blend (Morning Rise) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 14th, 2012
One of my favorite bagged teas in the morning is Numi's Breakfast Blend. The tea blends four Fair Trade organic black teas: Assam, Ceylon, Darjeeling and Keemun. The blend combines the best of the four types into a flavorful and pleasing brew; strong flavored yet mild.

Chai Spice Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????33 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 13th, 2012
I am an avid chai tea drinker and had never tried Stash brand. I was very dissapointed. The smell as soon as I opened the bag was too overwhelming.

Jasmine Silver Needle White Tea (Mo Li Yin Zhen) from TeaVivre
Style: Jasmine Silver Needle – Region: Fuding, Fujian, China70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 13th, 2012
Yet another Chinese tea from TeaVivre, of very high quality that is exactly what I'd expect for its style.
Dry leaf extremely aromatic, with an intense Jasmine aroma that is almost overwhelming. Looks like a typical silver needle, very attractive-looking, delicate silvery buds with downy white hair.
Upon brewing...
Citrus Punch from Shanti Tea
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 12th, 2012
This tea tastes kind of weird, but maybe that's because I added cream and sugar. I can't get it to brew strong enough for my taste, and I think the oolong is overpowered by the orange flavor. I thought it smelled pretty good when the leaves were brewing, though. It smelled kind of like Apple Jacks.

Merry Berry from Shanti Tea
Style: Fruit Rooibos – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 12th, 2012
This tea is actually really good. It's not was I was expecting, because it has a rooibos base, and I don't like rooibos, but the berry flavor overpowers it. It smells kind of like candy. I added cream and sugar, and it actually blends really well with the cream, which also surprised me.

Aug. 10th, 2012
This tea doesn't have much of an aroma. It tastes pretty good, although it takes a long time to brew strong enough. I added cream and sugar.

Tippy Assam from Williamson Tea
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 9th, 2012
I really like this tea. It's a bit bitter, but I brewed it really strong and it has a deep, rich, crisp flavor, and I think the bitterness actually adds a good quality to it. I added cream and sugar.

Mengku Palace Ripened Golden Buds Loose Pu-erh Tea 2007 from TeaVivre
Style: Ripened (Shou) Pu-erh – Region: Shuangjiang, Yunnan, China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 9th, 2012
The dry leaf of this looks unusually wiry and tippy for a ripe Pu-erh, with a lot of golden tips. It is quite aromatic, and the aroma is typical for ripe Pu-erh, with perhaps only a faint suggestion of more complexity.
Upon brewing, 1 teaspoon of leaf and 1 minute as recommeded for one cup, this produces a dark col...
Original Cacao Tea from Tisano
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 8th, 2012
If you enjoy the aroma of chocolate as well as the flavor, this is a delightful treat.
I think I should be using more of the husk than I used last time, but still has a nice natural sweetness. That said, I drink it straight, but trend toward very dark chocolate anyway (90%) and add raw cacao nibs to food which has ...
Dao Ren Tea from Mountain Rose Herbs
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 7th, 2012
An organic tea of very good quality for a very good price!
Loose leaf has a very dark green color and a pungency suggesting fruity, grassy, and herbaceous qualities. The leaf is slow to unfurl and infuses quite slowly.
Upon brewing, the tea is surprisingly light in color and has an aroma equally suggesting of li...
Irish Breakfast from Frontier
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: India63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 7th, 2012
This tea is interesting. The first thing I notice is that it smells like beets - not a flavor that I like to associate with tea, at least not in this context. The flavor is good, though. At first it seemed weird, but after a few sips it started to taste really good. I added cream and sugar.

My Morning Mate Tea from Teavana
Style: Flavored Yerba Maté – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 7th, 2012
My morning mate has a very smooth, light taste with hints of chocolate. The chocolate flavor is not overpowering, and it is a nice compliment to the nuts in this tea. The only thing I found a bit disappointing is that I wish the flavor would have been stronger. It doesn't have much of a kick taste-wise, but certainly w...

Aug. 7th, 2012
Great fruity flavor with a lot of banana! If you like banana, this is a must try! If not, you won't like this tea. It makes for a refreshing cup in the morning that wakes you up and gets you going!

546 Mountain Peak Mao Feng Organic from SpecialTeas
Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 6th, 2012
A blast from the past--somehow I forgot to post this review, so enjoy it and miss SpecialTeas!
I found this tea to taste more similar to other Zhejiang green teas that I've tried than it did to mao feng green tea from other regions of China. Aroma is strong, fresh, toasty, and grassy. I can see both the fruity and...
Taj Mahal from Brooke Bond
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5

I had this tea in Indian hotels.
Too bad it is not available in Europe

Aug. 5th, 2012
This tea is too bitter and not strong enough for my taste. It even has a bitter aroma that I don't like. I added cream and sugar.
