English Breakfast from Stash Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 14th, 2010
This is astonishingly smooth (perhaps weak too) for a Breakfast tea. A little bit, but not much strength. There's a mild tannic aftertaste and I almost wish there was more. Odd, as this tea brews a very rich, dark color.
Aroma is mostly malty and not very complex.
Pleasant, but somewhat boring.
Black Pearl Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 14th, 2010
Surprisingly different from Lipton teabags, and surprisingly high quality. Rich, malty aroma, some bitterness in the aftertaste but smoother up front. A remarkably pleasing, full-bodied tea. I recommend brewing for about 3 minutes...more and it becomes too tannic.
My main complaint about this one, like all of Lip...
Arya Ruby (Tippy) also known as 'Moonbeam' 2009 from Thunderbolt Tea
Style: Darjeeling Second Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 13th, 2010
this seems like a well-balanced 2nd flush darjeeling. i imagine that this is basically what an archetypical 2nd flush tea should be. some muskiness, nuttiness, bitterness, and astringency. no single element is really overwhelming.
good tea
Giddapahar Musk (DJ 29) 2009 from Thunderbolt Tea
Style: Darjeeling Second Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 13th, 2010
the dry leaves have a chocolaty and nutty aroma.
the musky flavor and aroma does come out when brewed. a somewhat nutty flavor. a fairly well balanced second-flush darjeeling at a pretty good value. i drink this one regularly.

Risheehat SFTGFOP1 Wiry [DJ 562] 2009 from Thunderbolt Tea
Style: Darjeeling Autumnal Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 13th, 2010
very fruity indeed; it's one of the most naturally fruity teas i've tried. very pleasant flavor.
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)

Jun. 8th, 2010
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)
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
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.
