China Jasmine Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China57 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 3rd, 2010
Weak Jasmine aroma, even relative to other teabag Jasmine teas. Flavor is sweet, gentle, with almost no bitterness and with only a hint of sourness. Aroma is honeylike, like a pouchong, but weak and not terribly interesting.
This tea scalds very easily if brewed with water that is too hot. Be sure to use water we...
English Breakfast from Darvilles of Windsor
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 3rd, 2010
This is a very strong black tea. While I tend to prefer slightly more mellow black teas, this tea is among one of the better teas of such strength that I've tried. Unusually malty for an English breakfast, and the malt is rich and fulfilling. Almost more like an Irish breakfast. Strongly bitter and strongly astring...

English Breakfast from Hampstead Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: India63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 2nd, 2010
Aroma is rice-like, and very slightly malty, with a slight hint of smokiness, and somewhat fruity. Most of these qualities are very subtle. It's hard to say whether the aroma is balanced or muddled...it somehow straddles these two possibilities. I am not crazy about how the different aspects of the aroma blend toget...

Oasis from Tea Forte
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 1st, 2010
Fairly bitter; almost tastes like it contains lemongrass but it's not listed on the ingredient list. Not floral, in spite of the flowers--the marigold imparts a warm but somewhat heavy quality. Citrusy, but in a slightly harsh, citronella-like way rather than a fruity way. Pleasantly astringent.
More than a bit m...
get relaxed - No.14 from Republic of Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 1st, 2010
I found this herbal tea to be very pleasant to drink; the aroma is complex...there's a noticeable lavender presence but it doesn't overwhelm the other ingredients, which mostly impart a rich, earthy quality. I can't really notice the rooibos distinctly though, even though it's listed as the first ingredient. Aroma-wi...

Osmanthus Oolong Se Chung from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Osmanthus Tea – Region: China93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 29th, 2010
I love this tea. Se Chung is absolutely my favorite style of oolong, and my favorite Se Chung is Upton's ZO10, so I was eagerly anticipating this one, and I was pleased to find a rich, complex tea that added a completely new element to the mix. I can't say whether I prefer this or the unscented tea more. They're ver...

Orange Mint Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 26th, 2010
This tea is interesting in that it tastes very similar to "orange spice" teas, but it doesn't contain any spices; I suspect the tulsi is contributing the tones of cinnamon and clove. The spearmint adds a slightly different twist.
Full-bodied and with a smooth flavor.
I'm not sure how I feel about the presence of...
Decaf Lotus Blossom Green (Lotus) from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
Brews a dark golden-orange, dark for a green tea. Aroma is flat and subdued; there's not even a hint of floral quality. Surprisingly full-bodied, however, for a decaffeinated tea. More flavorful than aromatic.
Not what I expected; I was expecting something light and floral, but this is a heavier tea, disappointin...
Tea of Inquiry from Republic of Tea
Style: Genmaicha – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
I've always found green tea to be a little astringent but I love the way the nutty/charred flavor of the toasted rice cuts through the earthiness of the green tea. There's a faint taste of burning matches, a little iron, grass. Good stuff.

Berry Black™ - Raspberry Darjeeling Black Tea from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
Certainly one of the better bagged teas I've tried and one I really enjoyed.
The fruit taste can get a little strong if the tea is steeped more than about 4 minutes, i've found that 3-4 minutes with hotter water is just about perfect.
Nice aroma, and well balanced, the fruit does not overpower the darjeeling fl...
Bi Lo Chun Reserve from Teas Etc
Style: Bi Luo Chun – Region: China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
This quickly became one of my favorite teas.
This tea has a very delicate yet distinct flavor, milder than a dragonwell, but somewhat similar.
The delicateness of this tea make it a perfect afternoon or evening sip and I find they inspire relaxation.
One of the more unusual looking leaves when dry, simil...
Passion Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend37 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
This tea smells great and look really great in the cup, but drinking it is a form of torture to me.
It has a very distinct fruity flavor that I find too strong, even when steeped for very short periods of time.
I would try this one with caution, and start by steeping it for a very short time to avoid it becom...
China Green Tips Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
While not a fan of the bagged teas in general, this one is not too bad. What makes it even better is that now Starbucks has converted their tea inventory into whole leaf varieties of the same tea.
The whole leaf version of this tea is pretty good, and since there is a starbucks on every corner, it's a good choice w...
Ginger Peach from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
I usually hate fruit teas, and to be honest, I'm not too fond of the fruitiness in this. Somehow, though, the peach and ginger flavors balance each other nicely, and the assertive base of black tea still comes through. I associate this tea with afternoons, the kind when you need a jolt. Also smells great.

Honey Vanilla Chamomile from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: ?????87 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
I do like this tea. The aroma is fabulous: honey, vanilla bean, the grassiness of the chamomile. The taste isn't far behind. Plus it isn't too pricey, so it makes a good stanby evening tea. Much less bland than chamomile alone.

White Ambrosia from Tea Forte
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
This tea brews a fairly dark amber color. Aroma is mostly of coconut. I don't like the aroma...it's more like that of a coconut lotion or soap than tea. I can't notice much tea in the aroma...the tea is more present in the finish/aftertaste though.
Although I find the aroma very unpleasant, I must say I like the ...
Greenfield Estate BOP1 from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Uva, Sri Lanka63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
A solid, if somewhat generic black tea that is dark and full-bodied but tends on the mellow side of flavor.
The aroma is typical for a Ceylon black tea, and has only mild nuances of dried fruit and nut (like Upton suggests). I'm not really feeling the "citrus notes" but I do notice a sweet aftertaste. There's much...
Green Tea Super Antioxidant from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend27 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
Aroma is dominantly a sort of strange, light, earthy smell. There's some tea presence in the aroma but it's weak, generic, and takes a back burner. The tea is smooth...not much bitterness, but overall, not much flavor, even when brewed in a rather small cup for 3 or more minutes.
While I usually respect Yogi's app...
Black Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????33 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 24th, 2010
This tea is low-grade swill. It's popular only because of advertising and price, not because of taste. It delivers an artificial, generic tea flavor. Even if someone wants an orange and black pekoe tea Red Rose, Tetley, and/or Bromley are arguably slightly better but definitely a better buy. Given a choice between ...

Huo Shan Yellow Buds from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Huangya – Region: Huoshan, Anhui, China63 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 23rd, 2010
This is the first yellow tea I've sampled and in many respects it resembles a green tea.
The aroma is fairly rich; there are some of the grassy tones that characterize many green teas, but these are weak and in the background. A bit peppery like Upton describes, and also a bit perfumey. Subtle, but with a lot of d...
Classic Blend from Tetley Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 22nd, 2010
Simple, but as the title suggests, classic. It goes with almost anything and it's perfect for when you just want (black) tea without the extras

It was good, but not much different from other chamomile teas I've had.

Prince of Wales from Twinings
Style: Black Tea – Region: China53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 22nd, 2010
Fairly light overall, especially compared to Twinings' other black teas. There's some complexity in the aroma, in my opinion, more than their other black teas with the exception of their Ceylon (my favorite). Smooth...less astringency or bitterness. I find you can steep this one a little longer without it becoming t...
