Bailin Gongfu Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Black Tea – Region: Fujian, China87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 23rd, 2012
I really like this one, especially after drinking it on multiple occasions.
This black (red) tea was only vaguely similar to others from China that I've tried; it was quite different from anything I have tried yet. Its aroma was more like Yunnan teas than anything else, but much milder and smoother, and with a very...
Tanzanian Silver Needle from Teas Etc
Style: Silver Needle – Region: Tanzania73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 23rd, 2012
I was really interested to try a silver needle tea produced in Tanzania, and I am glad I tried it as it was quite interesting tasting as well.
Fairly light in color, but full-bodied flavor. I like this tea significantly more than most Chinese examples of silver needle that I've tried, which tend to be too mild for ...
Moroccan Mint Green Tea from Dilmah
Style: Green Tea with Mint – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 23rd, 2012
I had this tea at a Barista outlet in Kolkata. I loved how fresh & uplifting this tea was! I have green teas regularly & thought this beats all the rest that I've ever had!
Cheers!
Vanilla Bean from Rishi Tea
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 21st, 2012
Outstanding! I tend not to like Vanilla teas at all; my experience with vanilla-flavored teas is that the majority of them range from somewhere between bland and vacuous, to artificial and unnatural-tasting. But I like this one, fitting into the overall trend of Rishi producing teas that I tend to like, in styles tha...

Prince of Wales from Twinings
Style: Black Tea – Region: China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 20th, 2012
I always enjoy a cup of black tea with no sweetener or cream, but I often find that it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I didn't have that problem with this tea, although it was strong. I definitely would like to add this tea to my stand-by tea list, along with Earl Grey. My only dislike is that I've heard Twining...

Supreme Breakfast from Harney and Sons
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 20th, 2012
I think it's a great idea that Harney has chosen to create a high-end breakfast blend, combining two high-quality teas that are usually not used in blends.
Although I'm less familiar with Keemun Hao Ya B, only having sampled one example of it, I can see how it would be a natural pairing with Assam as the two teas bo...
Keemun Black Tea – Grade 1 from TeaVivre
Style: Keemun – Region: Qimen, Anhui, China94 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 19th, 2012
I liked this tea right from the start, but the more I drank this tea, the more it has grown on me. Very full-bodied, intense flavor, smooth. Fruity, with a fair amount of smokiness. Relatively little leaf is needed for a bold-flavored cup. Surprisingly, I like this a lot better than the Keemun Hao Ya from the same ...

Very nice, more subtle flavor than the more potent Earl Grey.

Zen Filterbags from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 18th, 2012
My second-favorite tea. I brew it with some sliced, candied ginger to give it a peppery zing. No lemon, no milk or cream, just sweetener. Honey is good with this.

Plantation Mint® Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Black Tea with Mint – Region: ?????93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 18th, 2012
This is my favorite tea. I drink a minimum of two cups a day, and my tea "cup" is a huge 2-cup mug. I sometimes add a drop or two of spearmint extract to give it more kick. No lemon, no milk/cream, just sweetener. I like to make mint-flavored iced tea with it also.

Pomegranate White Tea from Trader Joe's
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 18th, 2012
I normally don't like flavored tea, but this is an exception. The taste wasn't as sour as other flavored teas I've tried and it wasn't overpowering at all. Overall I enjoyed this tea and will be drinking it again.

Red Zinger Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????30 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 18th, 2012
This is not one of my favorite teas. It brewed a dark purple and had a sickly sweet candy smell. I found its flavor was much too sour and reminded me of hard sugar candy. I didn't finish my cup because I found it too overpowering.

Xin Yang Mao Jian Green Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Mao Jian Green Tea – Region: Xinyang, Henan, China94 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 18th, 2012
This is the type of green tea I like most: strong, dark, and complex, producing a bold and rather bitter, but very clean and refreshing cup.
The dry leaf was very wiry, and intensely aromatic, with an aroma suggesting sweetness, but with some deeper, darker tones as well, a sort of deep fruitiness.
I found this t...
Zhang Ping Shui Xian, Charcoal Roasted from Life in Teacup
Style: Shui Hsien Oolong – Region: Zhangping, Fujian, China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 18th, 2012
The dry leaf of this oolong looked and smelled heavily roasted, and frankly, smelled more than a little boring to me. But when I brewed this cup, I was pleasantly surprised.
The aroma is complex and a bit edgy--there are some fairly strong skunky, herbaceous qualities, tones of celery, and a few floral tones in the...
Keemun Mao Feng Black Tea from Life in Teacup
Style: Keemun Mao Feng – Region: Qimen, Anhui, China67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 17th, 2012
This tea is okay. I don't like the flavor that much. It reminds me of flake cereal. It didn't seem very strong when I first tasted it, but I brewed it a long time. Now that I'm noticing the flavor more, it seems stronger. I added cream and sugar.

Style: Keemun Mao Feng – Region: Qimen, Anhui, China87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 17th, 2012
Dry leaf is strongly aromatic, with a slight smokiness and a strong dried fruit quality. Surprisingly little leaf is needed to brew a flavorful cup. I find it hard to gauge the amount of leaf necessary, because the thin, wiry leaf occupies a lot of space, but also expands greatly upon brewing.
The brewed cup has a...
White Peony (Bai Mu Dan) from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 17th, 2012
I really enjoyed the floral scent of this tea and its taste. Its flavor was rich, smooth, and full, with an imperceptible aftertaste. It brewed a dark-amber color. This is one of the better teas I've tried from Two Leaves and Bud and I will definitely be drinking it again!

Woman’s Raspberry Leaf from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 15th, 2012
I'm a man, and I know this is usually marketed as a women's health product, but I really like raspberry leaf, and I drink it mainly for flavor. The package says "Strengthens the female system." and, at least from my experience, I think this assertion is true--I like drinking this herb and I certainly have a lot of str...

Chun Mei Green Tea (Zhen Mei) from TeaVivre
Style: Chun Mee – Region: Huangshan, Anhui, China83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 15th, 2012
This Chun Mee had a subtlety and sweetness that I have never encountered in this type of tea. Dry leaf is very aromatic, typical of this style of tea but more suggesting of sweetness. Like all the teas I received from Teavivre, it smelled extremely fresh.
Compared to other chun mee I've had, this one was sweeter, ...

Lemon Lime Kampai Rooibos Tea from Teavana
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 13th, 2012
The blend of citrus, floral fruit, mint, and green rooibos is perfect for my tastes. Be aware that the main flavour profile of this tea is citrus, but the undertones of all the other ingredients are superbly balanced. A real winner here.

Green Tea Decaffenated (Classic) from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 13th, 2012
This tea is pretty good. I don't usually like high-quality green teas, but I sometimes like cheaper ones like this. It doesn't have that overly-vegetal taste that I don't like about a lot of green teas. I added cream and sugar.

2009 Shou Mei (Sow Mee or Longevity Brow) from Life in Teacup
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: Fujian, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 12th, 2012
I find white teas tend to darken with age, and this one is darker than current-year samples of shou mei I have tried in the past, but it still had quite a lot of green leaf.
This was one tea that I really had to brew before I noticed its quality...the dry leaf looks and smells relatively unremarkable, but upon brewi...
Earl Grey from Bigelow Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend95 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 11th, 2012
I love this tea. I drink it practically every day. The bergamot flavor is strong but not overpowering. It blends well with the tea. I always add cream and sugar.

Zhang Ping Shui Xian, Traditional Greener Style from Life in Teacup
Style: Shui Hsien Oolong – Region: Zhangping, Fujian, China77 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 11th, 2012
This was a fascinating tea for me to try. It was completely unlike any other oolong I've tried. The loosely-packed leaves separate easily and infuse quicker than I'd expect for their tough texture. After steeping I noticed that the larger leaves are mostly whole, but the smaller leaves and buds are mostly broken. I...
