Style: Tulsi / Holy Basil – Region: India80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 2nd, 2012
I've been drinking this tea for the past two days, and really like it. It has a nice, light, spicy aroma, and a equally light and pleasant flavor. I thought this tea was refreshing and agree that it feels uplifting as well. I will definitely be drinking this again!

Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 2nd, 2012
This one wins on authenticity, and on organic and fair trade status, but I was disappointed by a high amount of astringency.
Very British-style...strong, but not as bergamot-ey as I expected. Pervasive but subdued bergamot quality.
This tea is very strong, overall. I also found it can easily be too strong...it ...
Blood Orange Rooibos from Epi Tea
Style: Fruit Rooibos – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 2nd, 2012
Blood Oranges are one of my two favorite fruits, and I was looking forward to this rooibos. Unfortunately, I don't really notice the distinction between this and a regular orange-flavored rooibos; the blood orange may be more a reference to the deep, blood-like color of the rooibos than to the flavoring.
Brewed as ...
Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea – Golden Tip from TeaVivre
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 29th, 2012
Dry leaf, consisting almost exclusively of unbroken golden tips, is extremely aromatic and fresh, with the characteristic quality that all black teas from Yunnan province seem to have, but fruitier than normal.
Upon brewing, the leaf turns darker in color and produces a rich brown cup.
Like other Yunnan Dian Hong...

This tea is good. It has a nice flavor, not too heavy on the bergamot, which I like. I added cream and sugar.

Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 28th, 2012
The more high-quality loose-leaf dragonwell I try, the more I realize how diverse this type of tea can be. This tea was pleasant and easy to brew, and among the best loose-leaf dragonwells that I've sampled.
Dry leaf looks dusty, yellowish, and smells very pleasing, strongly aromatic, with a typical smell for high-...
Serene Chai from Epi Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 27th, 2012
Thanks very much to Epi Tea for the pre-release sample of this.
I will start off by saying that I am a chai lover, and I have had many. Traditional and non-tradional ones. I knew looking at the ingredients that this was going to be a non-tradional one since it has vanilla flavoring in it. Which I love, because I lik...
Sapphire Earl Grey Tea from Novus Tea
Style: Blue Flower Earl Grey – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 27th, 2012
This is the first time I try Earl Grey tea. I liked the aroma and I enjoyed the taste after I added some sugar in the tea. I failed to smell or taste any bergamot inside though. general a good tea. but from the health perspective, since black tea is not the best choice in hot summer, I won't try it again till winter. l...

I like this tea. It has a nice strong flavor, and it's not too bitter, but it gets more bitter at the bottom of the cup. I added cream and sugar.

I drink Menghai V93 often, even though it is not the 'best' tea out there, it is still a really reliable ripe puer tea. It is really nice after a heavy meal!!

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 25th, 2012
I had the opportunity to sample this tea before Epi Tea launched. Thank you, Kyle Ryan, for the samples!
This is a chai blend containing large pieces of broken-leaf orthodox tea, whole spices, and flavorings. Thankfully, the flavorings are subtle and are not overwhelming.
The instructions recommend me to brew t...
Organic English Breakfast from Paisley Label Tea (Paisley Tea Co)
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 25th, 2012
I was very interested to try the teas from this newly-launched effort of Two Leaves tea. This was an above-average quality British-style tea bag with finely-broken black tea, from the same company that I'm used to selling high-quality pyramid sachets. Good but not amazing. No brewing instructions on the container; I...

Read Full ReviewBlueberry Bliss Rooibos Tea from Teavana
Style: Fruit Rooibos – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 24th, 2012
This tea is a crowd-pleaser. The blueberry flavor is strong and mixes well with the rooibos. It's sweet, slightly citrusy and tangy but is very good without sugar or as an iced tea. Now, this is pricy and is not an everyday tea, but it's a nice treat once in a while.
Read Full ReviewCucumber Mint (Skin Smart) from Tea Forte
Style: Green Tea with Mint – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 24th, 2012
This tea has a strange scent, both fruity and minty, which to me smelled like alcohol. The flavor isn't impacted much by this, tasting like a normal green tea. However, it's nothing special and definitely isn't worth the price. The mint adds a hint of coolness, but the tea is somewhat bland and simple.

Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: Hunan, China77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 23rd, 2012
pros:
(1) fancier package than other tea bags I tried which are made of paper;
(2) organic... so I guess it's healthier.
(3) the smell is good. not too strong or too weak;
cons:
(1) the taste of the first cup is a bit too strong for me. I prefer the 2nd or 3rd cup of it when it's lighter.
(2)the caffeine doesn'...

This tea is okay. It has chocolaty aroma. It tastes kind of like cereal, and maybe that's a sign of it being a bit stale, I don't know. I added cream and sugar.

Jul. 22nd, 2012
This is a nice, but overpriced, flavored tea. The green tea quality is ok but not great although the light cherry and almond flavors make this refreshing and sweet. It would be nice for deserts or as a nice ice tea.
