Black Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 20th, 2010
This is a rather dull tea both in the nose and on the palate. Definitely not something to get excited about. Having said that, it's not a terrible tea either. Iced or hot, it can be enjoyed.

This tea is light and flavorful giving flavors of fruits and a touch of earth. This is a regular component of our pantry. Higly recommend it.

Green Ginger from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: China77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 20th, 2010
The aroma is light and sweet offering slight notes of the ginger. The falvor is nicely sweet and a touch spicey. The pear really doesn't come through all that strong. The tea itself is of decent quality coming from a bag. This is one of my favorite bagged teas.

Organic Japanese Sencha from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Sencha – Region: Japan47 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 18th, 2010
This tea was interesting; I brewed it for 3 minutes at 180 degrees. I found it was only good for a single infusion, which is why I settled on 3 minutes. Longer steeping made it too bitter and strong for me, and many people may like a shorter infusion.
Two Leaves and a Bud describes this as "brisk", and I think thi...
Golden Chai™ - Spiced Assam Black Tea from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Assam, India57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 18th, 2010
Surprisingly weak given that this contains Assam black tea as the main ingredient. I brewed this in a small 6 oz. cup, for 3 minutes, with boiling water, and it still came out fairly weak (and a golden color, not a rich brown color like most black teas). My impression is either that less tea was used, or that a gentl...

Gyokuro Imperial Green Tea from Teavana
Style: Gyokuro – Region: Japan90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 17th, 2010
The aroma of Gyokuro tea is very similar to fresh cut grass, rich and lively with distinctive notes of seaweed. I was very curious how the tea profile will hold up after steeping.
The taste is refreshing with reminiscent of seaweed and much sweeter aftertaste than regular Sencha. This tea is great for multiple infusio...
English Breakfast from Wedgwood
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 14th, 2010
This is a CTC tea and it is insanely strong. I brewed for a little less than a minute, using less than a teaspoon of leaf, and it was still a bit strong for me. This tea is fairly aromatic; I'm not sure exactly the proportions that go in but I can definitely taste some Ceylon and what seems like possibly an Assam or ...

Toasted Rice Green - Gen Mai Cha from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Genmaicha – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 13th, 2010
The name of this tea should be a clue as to what you are going to get. It tastes like burnt rice. It is an unusual tea and certainly can be enjoyable, but it's likely that many people won't like it (especially if you've ever eaten burnt rice and didn't like it).
Making multiple cups doesn't work very well, after th...
Lapsang Souchong - Smoky Tarry from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 13th, 2010
I always get excited when I see brands carry Lapsang Souchong, mostly because I can't imagine their consumer base for it is very large.
Numi's always tends to be pretty satisfying if not a bit thin and their Smoky Tarry blend is no exception. They really play up the smokey-ness in the aroma but then you take a sip ...
Gunpowder Green Tea - Temple of Heaven from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 13th, 2010
Virtually no aroma (which is fine with me). A mild but very good flavor. The strength of this tea is the fact that you don't notice it, you just enjoy it.

Organic Bangkok (Green Tea with Coconut, Ginger and Vanilla) from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 13th, 2010
I love me a good coconut flavored beverage, from coconut coffee to piña coladas, and I couldn't resist trying this blend when I heard about it. And yay, it was great!
Bangkok blend is great because all of the flavors really compliment each other...I'm not even a fan of lemongrass or ginger but in this tea it all c...
Earl Grey from Wedgwood
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 13th, 2010
Broken-leaf, but not fannings like their English Breakfast. I brewed for only 1 minute. The cup was a very rich reddish brown color.
Aroma is extremely perfumey for an Earl Grey, and rather fruity and citrusy. Smells more like a normal orange than the bergamot orange too, and smells almost candy-like, but almost ...
Bedtime from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 11th, 2010
Love this tea for its soothing qualities. It has an herbal flavor, and is not at all astringent. The predominant flavors are chamomile, cinnamon, and cardamom. Stevia is included in this blend and lends a sweet finish after every sip.
Flavor aside, this tea has some powerful sedative and anti-anxiety effects courtes...
Comforting Chamomile from Yogi Tea
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 11th, 2010
The teabag contains pretty fine dust--I can't see any whole flowers. Smoother, but blander than other chamomiles. Nothing really jumps out about this one. Slightly more floral, slightly sweeter, less of the muted bitter aftertaste...but not terribly complex or strong either.
Decent but unremarkable. I think I'd ...
Lemon Ginger Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 9th, 2010
There's lemon, there's ginger, there's...something else. The flavor of tulsi, which is difficult to pin down, made the tea a little milder and earthier/grassier than I expected. An interesting after dinner option.

Chai Classic (Formerly Organic Tazo Chai) from Tazo Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Assam, India80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 9th, 2010
A strong, workmanlike chai. Ginger leads, which I enjoy. Nice body to the remaining flavors, which are assertive yet nicely blended. Good value.

The only thing passionate about this tea is my desire to get away from it. Like drinking purple vinegar.

Wild Sweet Orange from Tazo Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 9th, 2010
The nose is amazing, nectar-sweet and citrusy. The taste doesn't quite live up to it, but this is a light, pleasant herbal tea, fruity but without the sting of a zinger. Can be a little sour if oversteeped.

Black Cherry Berry Herb Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 6th, 2010
I'm generally a fan of Celestial Seasonings fruity herbal teas, but I was disappointed by this one. I found the taste rather cloying. Reading the description given here, I think "red fruit punch" is an apt comparison. I've never liked red fruit punch, so maybe this tea tastes better to those who did.

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 6th, 2010
When I first tried this tea I had only noticed the "lemon ginger" part of the labeling and not the "tulsi" part. I wasn't expecting the additional flavor of the tulsi and I didn't like it much at first. Over time though, I've come to like it. The tulsi definitely adds a nice bit of savor and variety to the lemon ginger...

This was yummy! Crisp and light, and I really liked the citrus flavors.

Irish Breakfast Black Tea from Boston Tea Company
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 6th, 2010
This is my favorite tea so far from the Boston Tea Company. Although Irish Breakfast isn't my favorite style of black tea, this is without a doubt my favorite Irish breakfast tea yet, and I find this particular blend to stand out among any kind of strong black tea.
The aroma is complex, powerful, and surprisingly f...
Dragonwell Green Tea from Boston Tea Company
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China23 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Oct. 6th, 2010
I was very disappointed with this tea; it was the only sample I received from the Boston Tea Company that I did not like; the others were all quite enjoyable.
Dried leaf is broken and more grayish than other dragon wells I've seen. This does not taste at all like other dragon wells I've tried. Aroma is slightly sm...
Nepal Kanchanjangha Green Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Green Tea – Region: Nepal67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 5th, 2010
This tea does not at all resemble what is normally known as green tea; it is darker even than many first-flush Darjeelings.
If you haven't ever tried any green or white tea from Darjeeling, Nepal, or surrounding areas, this tea will probably strike you as very unusual, but if you're familiar with these teas, it's ac...

Oct. 4th, 2010
Yummy; fresh tasting. I was happily distracted by the fact that there are whole flowers in the teabag.
