Lungching Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 9th, 2009
As with Foojoy's China Black Tea, I found this a surprisingly good value. The black tea was wrapped in individual paper packets, whereas the Lunching box has several aluminum sealed packets containing individual bags. This tea has a pleasant aroma and a decent flavor. It compares favorably to many other green teas sol...

Sleepytime® Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 8th, 2009
I absolutely love this tea. I let it steep longer than recommended because I enjoy the stronger flavor of spearmint. It's also nice because I've found that I can often brew the same bag twice. While the flavor is definitely less strong, it is still tasty and not as diluted as many other teas. Sleepytime is my favor...

Black Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 6th, 2009
Really good if made with boiling water and steeped for a short time ... if not, it's very bitter and strong.

Peppermint from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: Europe60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 5th, 2009
Aroma very strong but more grassy and herbal, and more complex, than most straight peppermint teas. Balanced and not overpowering. Only a hint of sourness, less than most peppermint teas.
I still prefer the stuff I grow and dry myself, but this is a pretty good alternative. I give such a low rating for "value" be...
Xue Ya Ballad from Adagio Teas
Style: Snow Buds – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 5th, 2009
This is my favorite tea from Adagio so far. When brewed as recommended this tea is very light with a sweetness and some fruity tones. But I found it too thin this way.
I like brewing it much longer (8+ minutes) and with slightly warmer water (190-ish)...it comes out much stronger and more interesting...more grassy...
Cinnamon Apple Spice Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 4th, 2009
Perfect on a fall day! Tastes & smells of apples & cinnamon, but the cinnamon can be a little overpowering if you let it steep for too long.

Moroccan Mint Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Green Tea with Mint – Region: ?????43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 4th, 2009
Aroma of spearmint and little else; disappointing after Stash's other flavored teas which have a bolder tea presence. The spearmint is very smooth and candy-like, but overall this tea is weak, especially in comparison to Stash's other offerings.
There is a little bitterness which was the only hint of green tea pres...
Chai Spice Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 4th, 2009
I don't usually drink tea bag tea any more, but this one is always tempting to buy. This chai is more spicy then other ones I have tried. It is a lot less vanilla tasting then most chai teas. I like it's spice and its a great treat in the fall.

China Breakfast from Rishi Tea
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China70 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 3rd, 2009
Wow. I love the aroma of this tea...it is much more vegetal than most black teas, clean and fresh, and yet warm too. Smooth and yet relatively full-bodied, but thin relative to some breakfast teas. No astringency.
I do notice the peppery tones characteristic of a dian hong. The aroma is pleasingly complex. Ther...
South African Honeybush Superior Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Honeybush – Region: South Africa60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 1st, 2009
The dry leaves have a fruitier aroma than the brewed tea, which is almost totally devoid of fruitiness, and is more earthy and slightly spicy. Tones of black pepper in the aroma.
Very full-bodied. Aftertaste is a bit flat. Not terribly complex in the aroma, but still enjoyable. I prefer Adagio's honeybush, which...
Organic Wild Rooibos Pyramid Tea from Equal Exchange
Style: Rooibos – Region: South Africa70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 1st, 2009
Aroma darker and more earthy, less fruity, than other rooibos I've tried. Flavor smooth but with some zing to it, without being bitter or too sour. Some astringency, but not too much.
I like this much, much better than other "non-wild" red rooiboses that I've tried. Although I still prefer green rooibos, this is ...
Breathe Deep from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 1st, 2009
Smooth, naturally sweet, with licorice dominating the aroma, and a fair amount of mintiness present. Mellower than I expected for a tea with mint and eucalyptus. Soothing.
I imagine this one would also be good for a sore throat, as it seems to sooth irritation in addition to clearing your head. It also tastes pre...
Rooibos from Adagio Teas
Style: Rooibos – Region: South Africa47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 31st, 2009
The dry leaf is strongly aromatic but the brewed tea is only moderately so. Smooth, a bit grassier and much less fruity than most rooibos. Very thin, however. A bit dry tasting, a little bit sour, and leaves a funny aftertaste that builds as you drink the cup.
Of the teas I've tried from Adagio, this was my least...
Organic Darjeeling Black Pyramid Tea from Equal Exchange
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 31st, 2009
Aroma spicy, unusually vegetal for a tea this dark, and unusually malty for a Darjeeling. Very interesting and complex! Dark liquor and tastes more like other black teas than most Darjeelings; I would not describe it as "golden" or "light". Remarkably bold and full-bodied and yet with little bitterness or astringenc...

Honeybush from Adagio Teas
Style: Honeybush – Region: South Africa63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 30th, 2009
Very sweet and fruity; this is without a doubt the sweetest and fruitiest honeybush I've ever tried. Almost candy-like, with an aroma like dried fruit. Less of the earthy or straw-like tones that I was expected.
A bit light and thin-bodied, however. Less rich than other honeybush I've tried.
I'm still not sure...
Oolong #18 / Jade Oolong from Adagio Teas
Style: Jade Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 29th, 2009
Beautifully fragrant leaves and beautifully fragrant brewed tea. Sweet, light, orchid-like floral aroma. Weak flavor, with a very clean taste...sweet with a hint of tanginess and no bitterness. Upon drinking, what seemed like a pleasantly strong aroma becomes too weak.
Adagio recommends brewing 5 minutes with 180...
Bedtime Bliss (Bedtime Story® Herbal Tea) from Lipton Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 29th, 2009
A gentle and mild herbal tea. Brews an orange color. A hint of sourness but not too much, and not much bitterness either. None of the aromas dominate. In spite of the main ingredient being mint, I don't notice the mint all that much...pretty mellow.

Calm Chamomile Filterbags from Tazo Tea
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 28th, 2009
This is without a doubt one of my favorite Tazo teas and also one of my favorite herbal teas. It balances just the right amount of chamomile with other ingredients so that there's a lot of chamomile in the aroma but there's also a lot of other stuff going on too. Unlike some of Tazo's other teas, this one is not too...

Pouchong from Adagio Teas
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 28th, 2009
Aroma light, vegetal, honey-like, and floral, but unfortunately, also a bit soapy. My main complaint is that this tea is so bland!
Flavor is extremely mild; a hint of sweetness, no bitterness, and absolutely no astringency whatsoever. Very clean aftertaste. More aromatic than flavorful. Although all pouchongs te...
Green Tea with Peach from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 28th, 2009
This tea has a great peachy smell and its flavor is really smooth. It's even better iced.

French Vanilla Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 28th, 2009
The smell of this tea is just what you'd expect from the flavor name - strong and sweet. Its taste is more tea-like than the smell would lead you to believe, which to me, is welcome. It could be a bit stronger, though.

Dancong Aria from Adagio Teas
Style: Dancong Oolong – Region: China67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 27th, 2009
Aroma very complex with a lot of things going on. The dark leaves surprisingly brew a light amber liquor that is very clear. Initially a strong fruity aroma like dried apricot, some vegetal tones. Upon drinking, a bit peppery. Very smooth and clean. No bitterness, rather sweet, but with some astringency. A bit th...

Vanilla Chai Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Vanilla Chai – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 25th, 2009
The spices actually blend pretty well and in spite of the artificial flavoring, this tea is much more natural tasting than I had expected. No noticeable tea aroma, just vanilla and some spice. Creamy and smooth.
I would appreciate a stronger tea presence and perhaps more spice.
Passion Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend30 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Oct. 22nd, 2009
While I love the aroma of this tea, it is so sour as to be completely undrinkable. I have found a way to remedy this by running cold water over the teabag for about 15 seconds before brewing it. This leaves most of the aroma intact but removes most of the sourness. The resulting tea is very enjoyable.
I'm rating ...
