English Breakfast Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 21st, 2009
I drink this a lot and bring it with me to class. I like English breakfast tea in general and this is tasty and a good price. It tastes great with some lemon and honey.

Makaibari Estate Long Leaf Green (DJ-456) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Darjeeling Green Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 21st, 2009
I was sad to see this tea removed from Upton's listings, as I enjoyed sampling it. [Update: it seems Upton has added a new lot, and I'm eager to try that one!]
Extremely flavorful and complex, with many different aspects of the aroma: dark, vegetal tones, rich grassy tones similar to a good dragonwell tea, and a hi...
Chocolate A-Peel from SerendipiTea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 21st, 2009
Just the right amount of chocolate flavor. You wouldn't guess there was chocolate without reading the box though. Be careful not to over steep, gets bitter fast. Makes an amazing ice tea though.

Orange Herbal Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 19th, 2009
Very similar in character to Bigelow's orange and spice, but significantly more subdued. There's a fair amount of spice in the aroma, and thankfully, not too much cinnamon. A balanced tea. But I prefer Bigelow's because it is more powerful and aromatic.

Ginger Twist Herbal Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 17th, 2009
Very mild, with not much ginger flavor. Brews an orangish color. Light, kind of relaxing. Has about as much ginger as Celestial Seasoning's Tension Tamer, and actually tastes oddly similar to that tea except without the bitterness and with less kick and less earthiness. Pleasant, but too weak for me.

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.

Lady Grey from Twinings
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.

Blackberry Sage from Republic of Tea
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.

Peppermint Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
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.

Green Rooibos (Green Bush) from Rishi Tea
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 ...

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...

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.

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

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...
