This tea makes an incredible iced tea in my automatic ice tea maker. It retains the flavor very well and is a great thirst quencher.

This is my 2nd favorite tea made by Revolution. I can't wait to try it on ice this summer when it's hot. The fruit flavor is outstanding!

Linden Leaves Tea from Badia
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 5th, 2010
In certain ways, this tea is similar in aroma to linden blossom tea, although is is richer and has more of a savory, spicy quality. Still somewhat floral, however. A suggestion of honey in the aroma, and a bit of a sort of light, bready quality. The aroma reminds me somewhat of walking under a Linden tree when the t...

Holy Basil, Rama (Tulsi) from Mountain Rose Herbs
Style: Tulsi / Holy Basil – Region: United States of America87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 5th, 2010
I wouldn't have thought to make tea out of basil, so it was convenient when I encountered tulsi tea. Pleasant in its taste and strong herbal aroma, Mountain Rose's tulsi is an enjoyable deviation from run-of-the-mill herb teas. You can let it steep for longer than your average green or black tea to relatively little de...

Steinthal Estate TGBOP First Flush (DJ-25) Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 5th, 2010
Disappointing for a first flush and even among broken-leaf Darjeelings. There's a heaviness to the flavor, even though it is smooth. I'm detecting neither the "fresh floral note" nor the "hint of citrus".
I'm not sure what to recommend with the brewing; if you go longer this tea becomes heavy, although not too bit...
Joyeux Noel from Lupicia
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 5th, 2010
Incredibly strange tea, but I loved every moment of it! It tastes just like roasted chestnuts, and not even in the fake syrupy way- it's a clean flavour with no sour aftertaste.
The smell however is different, almost unpleasant to me- it's sort of sickly sweet? Especially if you just smell the tea bag. But thankfully...
Organic Sweet & Spicy Caffeine Free from Good Earth Teas
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 5th, 2010
This is one of my favorite teas by Good Earth. There is nothing else quite like it. It is a great tea in the cold weather due to the warm cinnamon and other spices.

Tippy Assam from Williamson Tea
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 4th, 2010
A bold and powerful tea but with some complexity. Fine broken leaf. Infuses quickly...I recommend one and a half minutes, and using less than a teaspoon of leaves. However, if you enjoy a stronger cup, this tea does not get as astringent as you might expect if you brew it longer.
Aroma malty, slightly more vegeta...
Zingiber Ginger Coconut Rooibos Tea from Teavana
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 3rd, 2010
I mixed this flavored rooibos with jasmine pearl dragon gunpowder rolls. I've been very happy with the tea. It drinks with a full body and spicy almost cinnamon aroma. The coconut is present but subtle. The ginger really only shows upon a second infusion. Unpleasant to drink extremely hot.

Apricot Ceylon from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 2nd, 2010
This tea is so good that I asked the ratetea.net guys to add it to their database!
It's a wonderful black tea (So, you get a pretty good caffeine hit from it.) that is made even better with just the right amount of apricot flavoring. The apricot flavoring is strong enough so that it doesn't disappear behind the Ceyl...
Golden Wire - GopalDhara from Fresh Darjeeling Tea
Style: Darjeeling Autumnal Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 2nd, 2010
Like the other teas I've tried from Fresh Darjeeling tea, this is totally unlike any other black tea I've ever tried.
Aroma very complex...malty, and much more vegetal than most black teas, and with some savory qualities, a hint of smokiness. Reminds me of a tippy assam more than any other Darjeeling I've tried. I...
Vietnam Green Sencha from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Sencha – Region: Vietnam80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 2nd, 2010
I would not recognize this tea as sencha from either the appearance of the leaves or the aroma of the dried leaf or brewed cup. There's only a faint suggestion of the characteristic sencha aroma, barely emerging and then vanishing.
The aroma is vegetal, but less seaweedy than sencha, and more savory. Tastes more s...
Monks Reserve-Castelton Estate from Fresh Darjeeling Tea
Style: Darjeeling Oolong – Region: Darjeeling, India67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 30th, 2009
Like the other teas I've tried from Fresh Darjeeling Tea, this tea is completely unlike anything I've ever tried! It is also the only Darjeeling oolong I've had that is rich and full-bodied.
Brews a dark color, darker than some Darjeelings I've seen classified as "black" teas. Malty, with a savory quality to it, a...
Soureni Organic Oolong from Fresh Darjeeling Tea
Style: Darjeeling Oolong – Region: Darjeeling, India83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 29th, 2009
This tea is unlike any other I have tried!
Cup is very light in color, and aroma very vegetal and somewhat floral, with a clean, honey-like fragrance. Tones of asparagus and spice. Certain aspects of the aroma are reminiscent of a Tung Ting, but overall the tea is crisper, cooler in quality, more bitter, and less ...
Holy Basil Purple Leaf from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Tulsi / Holy Basil – Region: India97 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 27th, 2009
I had not tried tulsi (except possibly unknowingly as a seasoning) when I sampled this, and I fell in love after the first sip. The aroma is hard to describe, but very complex...I especially notice the anise and cinnamon, but I am usually not the biggest fan of these aromas, and I loved this tea. This is a very rich,...

Premium Russian Tea from Czar Nikolas II Russian Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 26th, 2009
I recall drinking a rose black tea from Czar Nicholas II a long time ago and really enjoying it, but I was disappointed with this tea. I don't know which blend I tried before;it may have been something different from this one.
While the black tea used actually seems to be fairly high-quality, it's overpowered by an ...
Malaika Estate OP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Kenya83 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 26th, 2009
Dark but surprisingly smooth cup...not much bitterness and astringency, and clean aftertaste. The aroma is complex and interesting but very hard to put into words...slightly more vegetal than typical for a black tea. It's hard for me to know exactly what to compare it to...it tastes more like a Yunnan black tea than ...

Fen Huan Dan Cong from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Dancong Oolong – Region: China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 25th, 2009
Very complex. This one is much less fruity and floral than the other feng huang dancong I've tried (from Adagio), but it still has a faint suggestion of fruit...the aroma is cooler, and more skunky, woody, and perhaps earthy. Yet there is a similar light, peppery quality in the aroma. This tea also becomes astringen...

Lemon Ginger Herbal Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2009
I want to like this tea more. Very strong ginger kick, which I enjoy, but a lemongrassy/medicinal foretaste, which I don't. I want something soothing yet spicy after dinner; this makes me feel like I'm being wormed.

Dragon Well (Anhui) from Rishi Tea
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Anhui, China83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 23rd, 2009
I loved this tea although I'm not usually crazy about green. It avoided the planty, health-food associations I usually make with green teas. Instead, there was a lovely, rather robust fragrance, almost floral. This is probably the one green that I will stock in my tea cupboard.

Barnesbeg Estate FTGFOP1 First Flush (DJ-6) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 23rd, 2009
This tea has a much greener character, to the point it's barely recognizable as a "black tea", except for some lingering tones in the aftertaste. The cup is a gold color like a darker green tea or lighter oolong. Clean, fresh, a bit mild...I can see what Upton says about the notes of citrus and mint.

Thailand Bold Leaf Green Tea from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Tea – Region: Thailand80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 22nd, 2009
Very different from any other green tea I've tried. Spicy aroma, complex...some fruity qualities, but aroma is mostly of spice. Very full-bodied, rich in flavor...tangy and yet without being heavy or too sour. Not very bitter and only a little astringent. I'm not tasting the "maltiness" in the description.

Goji Berry Pomegranate Green Tea w/ White Tea from Celestial Seasonings

Dec. 22nd, 2009
I love this tea. It's like green tea, with a bit of something extra. Nice for anytime of the day, I usually have it in the afternoons or at night. Highly recommended.
