Honeybush (Bushmen's Brew) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Honeybush – Region: South Africa73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 13th, 2009
This tea has an ineffable something I find difficult to articulate. Blossomy, subtly sweet, yet complex in flavor. Would love to drink more.

Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 13th, 2009
I have a soft spot in my heart for this tea. It's earl grey with less stridency and more heart. Yum.

Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 13th, 2009
Interesting in that it is oddly earl-grey-like but much more fruity. The black tea used in this blend seems to be lighter than the black tea used in a typical Earl Grey, which combined with the fruitiness makes for a lighter tea. I actually strongly prefer this to Twinings' earl grey.

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 13th, 2009
A very soft and mild tea; slightly sweet, very little bitterness. Aroma is mostly of blackberry, with only a hint of sage or tea. I was expecting more bite (sage tea on its own is so strongly aromatic!) and was disappointed. Overall this tea was much too weak for me.

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 13th, 2009
If you are feeling hungry, it's very satisfying as a snack substitute!

Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: United States of America73 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 11th, 2009
The aroma of this tea is pretty amazing. I opened the box and was overwhelmed by the smell of candy canes! I haven't been as impressed by the taste though. It has a little bit more bitterness in it than I would like.

Style: Green Rooibos – Region: South Africa90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 11th, 2009
I really like this! It's astonishingly different from the other green Rooibos I've tried, from Upton. This one has a bit of red leaf/stem mixed in and brews a bright orange color.
I recommend a very long steeping time; after 3 minutes the aroma hasn't fully developed. The aroma is fresh, light, and clean, with a ...
Earl Greyer from Republic of Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 10th, 2009
This is among my favorite teas from Republic of tea, and also the strongest tasting of their teas that I have tried. The bergamot is not totally overpowering...and unlike other flavored black teas from this company I find there's a stronger black tea presence in the aroma.
My only complaint is that this tea becomes...
Oolong Tea (16 ct.) from Yamamotoyama
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 9th, 2009
This tea comes in individually wrapped packets, and it keeps for a considerable amount of time. The first box I purchased cost $3.89 for 20 tea bags with 1.48 oz,whereas the second was 1.99 for 16 packets with 1.13 oz. I presume some difference may be attributed to currency fluctuations. Like most oolongs, this has ...

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...

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...

Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: Egypt93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 8th, 2009
Delightful, full flavor without being overwhelmingly strong. My favorite chamomile tea thus far!

Really good if made with boiling water and steeped for a short time ... if not, it's very bitter and strong.

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: Blend73 / 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.

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.

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...

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...
