not a lot of bitterness.
definitely a tea i return to frequently.
Goomtee FTGFOP1 Yellow Tea 2009 from Thunderbolt Tea
Style: Yellow Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 13th, 2010
the dry leaves and liquor have a rich, chocolate-like aroma.
i brewed ~10oz, 195F, 3min.
somewhat nutty flavor, but quite bitter.
not terribly impressed with this one.
British Blend - Premium Black Tea from Tetley Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 11th, 2010
I was disapointed in this after having such great things to say about their English Breakfast Tea. It does have a nice full body, but its still on the bitter side. On the other hand, it would probably make a good base for iced tea mixed with fruit.

Black Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 11th, 2010
No matter how I make it or what I add, I can never seem to brighten the flavor of this tea. It manages to be both bland and bitter, but it does its job well on the days when you just need something hot to drink (and can't taste anything).

Red Raspberry from Fortunes
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 10th, 2010
One of my all-time favorites. It has the full body of a good black tea, along with a sweeter flavor from the raspberries. This tea goes well with a light afternoon lunch or high tea.

Tie Guan Yin traditional charcoal roast from Life in Teacup
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Anxi, Fujian, China70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 9th, 2010
A very aromatic tea, full of flavor, but light.
The aroma has a lot of different elements to it...the dominant tone is a woody quality...there is also a strong fruitiness, which I'd describe as most closely resembling apricots, and a lot of floral tones--most closely resembling the floral character of some black tea...
#209 - Lady Londonderry from Tealuxe
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: India73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 9th, 2010
An above average tea, to be sure, but nothing special here. The aroma and flavor are both what you'd expect, just well done.

#191 - Monks Blend from Tealuxe
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 9th, 2010
To me, this tea doesn't have a strong aroma, but the flavor is excellent. It's very biting, very bitter. I recommend a fair amount of sugar to cut the bite. This and the Victorian Rose tea are my favorite teas.

#142 - Victorian Rose Tea from Tealuxe
Style: Rose Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 9th, 2010
Overall, this is one of the best teas you can buy from Tealuxe. The aroma and flavor are both fantastic. This is a great tea to enjoy first thing in the morning, since it's not strong or biting, or for relaxing later in the day. Make sure to enjoy the smell.

#119 - Pumpkin Spice Chai from Tealuxe
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: India70 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 9th, 2010
The aroma is fantastic. It smells like a cool autumn night. However the flavor fails to deliver on the aroma, tasting like not much at all. Overall it's above average, due to the aroma, but there are a lot of other teas that are more worth your time.

Blood Orange Pu-erh from Samovar Tea Lounge
Style: Flavored Pu-erh – Region: Blend100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 8th, 2010
Blood orange anything is delicious, but Samovar really got this tea right. An earthy aroma with a hint of citrus reminds you of a dark chocolate orange. Add a cube of sugar or agave to this tea to really bring out the orange taste.

Maiden's Ecstasy Pu-erh from Samovar Tea Lounge
Style: Pu-erh Tea – Region: Yunnan, China90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 8th, 2010
Pu-erh teas are like drinking the earth - sounds kind of gross, but it is surprisingly delicious and relaxing. I like this particular pu-erh because it has a hint of sweetness which is a nice juxtaposition to its earthy aroma. This is a heavy tea, I would drink it with sweets or a light salad.

Rooibos - Carpe Diem from The O Dor (Theodor)

I'm not normally a rooibos drinker, but this tea appeals to my sweet tooth. Add a little agave and the strawberry flavor really comes to the forefront.

October Revelation from The O Dor (Theodor)

Jun. 8th, 2010
This tea is like a more delicious version of Earl Grey. Maybe Russian Caravan meets Earl Grey...the sound of those two just makes my mouth water. The bergamot and orange hints make this a delicious full bodied tea - a perfect complement afternoon tea pastries.

Peche Mignon from The O Dor (Theodor)

I love this tea. It's a great tea to have in your personal collection. The bits of fruit make it a sweet alternative to your usual afternoon tea - this is a tea to be enjoyed on a breezy summer day.

Decaf Muscat from Lupicia
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 8th, 2010
I had to try this tea because my neighborhood tea sommelier told me it was based on Muscat wine...which I love. The aroma of this tea knocks your socks off...its sweet, flowery, almost with a fruit punch scent. However, the taste is no where near as strong as the aroma which i thought was odd. It wasn't a bad thing, st...

Himalayan Black | Intensity™ from Ineeka
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 8th, 2010
Very malty aroma, but smooth flavor, almost sweet, like a smooth Assam. Aroma and dark color of the cup suggests a strong tannic character, but I found this tea to be far from overly tannic. Aroma has a hint of raisins, and some herbaceous tones too. Some bitterness and astringency, but overall, much less than I'd e...

Organic Premium Green Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 7th, 2010
As with most of Stash's teas, I am quite impressed with the level of quality that is available in these inexpensive tea bags which are available in most supermarkets.
Aroma is slightly toasty, slighty grassy...almost like they've blended a Chinese pan-fired tea with a Japanese steamed green tea. Not terribly comple...
Chai Spice Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 7th, 2010
An excellent chai. The flavor isn't so strong that it overwhelms you, but it still has that lovely spice taste. As with most chai, the smell is amazing, and this one delivers with an equally good flavor. I would particularly recommend this for anyone who is trying chai tea for the first time.

Premium Oolong Tea from Royal King
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 7th, 2010
Very flat, cardboard-like aroma. There's some bitterness...a slight suggestion of roast in the aroma. Full-bodied. Astringent. Seems fairly highly caffeinated, especially relative to the lack of flavor.
I think I would prefer most of the mainstream supermarket teas to this tea. It was pretty uninteresting and b...
Golden Tip Yunnan from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China93 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 5th, 2010
I really enjoy this Yunnan. Great aroma. Excellent flavor. I make a large pot and keep it in a thermos and sip all day. I never add milk or sugar, but it might be a bit "strong" alone for some tastes.

Darjeeling | Elevation from Ineeka
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 5th, 2010
This is an interesting blend as the addition of calendula (pot marigold) flowers is subtle and, at least as I perceive it, only slightly tweaks, rather than characterizes, this blend. The flower is well-chosen: it blends seamlessly with the base tea, and it's really impossible for me to say where the tea ends and cale...

Bai Ya Qi Lan Oolong traditional green style Superior Grade from Life in Teacup
Style: Qi Lan Oolong – Region: Anxi, Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 5th, 2010
I've only had dark Wuyi Qi Lan oolongs before, and I like them very much, so I was eager to try this greener one. I've heard that in general, more tightly rolled teas are higher quality, and this tea was rather loosely rolled, with the leaves taking up a lot of space. But the aroma suggests otherwise...the dry leaf h...

Large Leaf from Old Trees Pu-erh from Chicago Tea Garden

Jun. 4th, 2010
I really enjoyed this tea.
I tried brewing this in two different ways...one, as recommended, more leaf, shorter steeping times. The second, using less leaf, but longer steeps. I had much better results with this second method using longer steeping times (I recommend starting with 2-3 minutes and going from there)....
Himalayan Green | Artistry from Ineeka
Style: Green Tea – Region: Himalayas57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 4th, 2010
Unusual and different, even among green teas from the Himalayan region. This tea does not have any immediate bite, unlike most Chinese and Japanese greens of a similar overall strength. I think "dry" is a very good term to describe this tea, not just the finish but the whole experience of drinking it...it's somewhat ...
