Coronation Blend from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd

Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend

84 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 9th, 2024

Here's the latest in a long line of Murchie's teas commemorating assorted milestones in the modern history of the British royal family—in this case, the ascension of Charles to the throne. Is this a tea worthy of a king? While not their best such black-tea blend, I'd wager His Highness would be satisfied to drink t...

Organic Herbal Tea Supplement, Immunity from Great Value

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????

77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 6th, 2024

This somewhat medicinally advertised herbal blend is mostly echinacea purpurea: American purple coneflower, a Great Plains flower that grows readily in the wild in nutrient-poor Okie red dirt, as well as in my own gardens. Nonetheless, the secondary ingredients—lemongrass, licorice and spearmint—dominate the aro...

Modern Earl Grey from Teavana

Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????

79 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 1st, 2024

After a phase of pyramidal sachets in covered plastic cups a few years ago, Teavana seems to have been reconstituted yet again—this time as a line of individually wrapped bagged teas on the target-audience level of Tazo or Stash, but costlier. At a conference, I saw several new Teavana offerings, and took samples ho...

Ning'er "Golden Honey Aroma" Yunnan Black Tea from Yunnan Sourcing

90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 13th, 2024

I really enjoyed this tea, although it was not my favorite-of-all-favorites. It grew on me somewhat as I drank it more. I'd put it towards the category of "my least favorite among my most favorite types of tea" if that makes sense? Like it breaks into the top category but only barely.

The leaf is quite beautiful, I'...

Ning'er "Golden Honey Aroma" Yunnan Black Tea from Yunnan Sourcing

Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Simao, Yunnan, China

75 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 13th, 2024

The aroma is pleasant and bready , it has a good classic black tea smell. The taste is good however slightly on the mellow side. It has a good thick bodied richness to it. Overall it’s a pretty decent cup of tea and it is a good value because for a high end tea it’s pretty cheap!

Himalayan from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd

80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 19th, 2024

My first Nepalese tea was a pleasant experience, but only after a little trial and error. First, the aroma: a good bit milder than the flavor, but pleasant, earthy, and floral, as if in a freshly watered flower garden with just a few active blooms of marigold or carnation wafting their scents airborne.

Extra Strong from PG Tips

Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????

78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 17th, 2024

PG Extra Strong is a no-frills but robustly flavored black tea that delivers a nice punch of tea for about 10 to 11 cents a bag (from an 80-ct box). This British tea (now under the Lipton/Unilever corporate umbrella) was on sale at the World Market where I bought a big box of Typhoo's same-named tea a few years ago. ...

Sep. 5th, 2024

Though labeled on the box as "herbal tea", Throat Cooler shares many of the ingredients of medicinal teas. The full list (Peppermint, Spearmint, Lemongrass, Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Licorice Root, Natural Menthol Flavor with Other Natural Flavors, Slippery Elm) is shorter than most Traditional Medicinal and Yogi teas, o...

Earl Grey from Benner Tea Co

72 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 30th, 2024

Benner Earl Grey (from ALDI food stores) came across much the opposite to me, on first try, as to the other reviewer: weak on bergamot and OK on tea. In fact, when opening the paper wrapper for each bag and taking a good sniff, I hardly could detect the bergamot, but the tea was obvious in the dry aroma. The bergamo...

65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 26th, 2024

This inexpensive Ceylon offers little to get excited over, for better or worse. It is a fairly standard tea, with some light, woody tannins and a dash of caramel flavor. I noticed that it tasted best at a lukewarm temperature; it is pretty bland when hot. It is good with lemon and sugar, and would probably be fine o...

Beautiful Mind from Shanti Tea

Aug. 22nd, 2024

This is a tisane crafted from a few herbs that supposedly provide a cognitive boost: gotu kola, gingko biloba,and ashwagandha, along with some other herbs that presumable add some flavor, like sage and lemon verbena. It also contains peppermint and rosemary, which some believe have healing or stimulating properties. ...

99 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 21st, 2024

This tea is absolutely sublime. It is by far my favorite Assam I've sampled.

Ghograjan Tea Estate got my attention years ago, when they brought some STGFOP tea to a tea expo I was attending, and it impressed me, but I did not order from them until recently, and now that I have, I honestly regret not ordering sooner!...

This is one of several teas I've ordered from Amazon recently, throwing them into an order to get over the free shipping threshold. It is also the first tea I've ever tried from Chota Tingrai estate, although I've tried a number of other teas from other gardens in the Tinsukia region. I was pleasantly surprised by this...

Aug. 19th, 2024

A very good black tea that exceeded my expectations especially for its price. However, this tea is not for every moment: it is bold and sharp tasting and strongly caffeinated.

This was one of several teas I have bought recently, throwing into Amazon orders to get over the free shipping thresholds.

Aug. 18th, 2024

This is a very good tea! It is not as aromatically interesting as some other black teas however it does have a very pleasant classic black tea smell that is slightly bready. It tastes very good and is not too astringent or bitter or anything, it is just a nice and comforting thick bodied tea. The value is very good bec...

Wow, what a find!

I discovered this tea when looking for loose-leaf black teas to throw into an Amazon order to get over their free shipping threshold, and I was pleasantly surprised. I love wild arbor tea from Yunnan province, which I often buy from Yunnan Sourcing, and I've had it from Mengku, Jingmai, and Da Hu S...

Aug. 15th, 2024

The aroma is strong and smokey, it reminds me of a Lap sang souchon. The liquor (5 min steep) is more red than brown. The flavor is mild, with the smokey after taste that stays on the tongue. Pleasant, and aromatic. A good choice for any time of day.

True story: I actually grabbed this somewhat absentmindedly off the shelf at Sprouts thinking it was True Blueberry (almost identical color scheme and basic design!), then only noticed the different name and cartoon when placing the box on the checkout belt. "Well, what the heck, I'm not a big fan of lavender as a tas...

80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 6th, 2024

The aroma is appealing, with a hint of fruit (peaches or apple). The liquor is a medium brown with a slight red. The flavor is wonderful, with a slight sweet after taste. This tea would be a great all day sip. I have just started exploring Darjeeling, very happy with this purchase.

The package list this tea as a blend of Assam and Kenyan black teas. The aroma has the strong earthy scent that is pleasant. The liquor is a strong, deep brown with a slight red tint (5 min steep). The taste has a tangy after taste, I associate with the Kenyan tea. Strong, great for a morning wake up. Certainly, strong...

Aug. 3rd, 2024

I tried this both hot and iced, and while it is fine hot, it is meant to be served in the summer on ice (with sugar or honey of course, and a squeeze of lemon is good to have as well). It is mostly organic, with only the "natural essences" being not organic. The aroma is floral and fruity, and the flavor emphasizes t...

This is a surprising tea. I never saw one of these before, and until now, I thought only lunatics would attempt to mix tea with coffee. It is a blend of black tea, a few coffee beans, sunflowers, and natural caramel flavoring. I was pleasantly surprised at the rich flavor (when made with milk and sugar of course). T...

Jul. 24th, 2024

This is a very unusual tea - I am a little unsure how I feel about it, so I may amend this review later. It is made with hibiscus, elderberries, and beet root and, strangely enough, they recommend steeping for just 2 minutes. I am guessing that is to prevent the tart hibiscus from stepping in and dominating the flavor...

Kama Sutra Chai from Shanti Tea

80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 24th, 2024

This makes a very sweet, floral chai, which is not surprising, since it contains 3 kinds of flowers, in addition to cinnamon and other spices. The flavor is a little extravagant, but nice. I see that my review is very different from Alex's - maybe the formula has changed, or perhaps our taste buds are different.

Organic Assam Black Tea from Trader Joe's

Jul. 24th, 2024

Trader Joe's teas seem to fall into two bins:
1. Very good, which at their typically low prices for bagged tea, makes it quite a strong value, even if not nearly the best of its type, and
2. Mediocre to poor, as one expects from most store brands.

Fortunately their organic Assam offering lies squarely in the fir...
