Organic Lemon Echinacea Throat Coat® from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 25th, 2015
I found an old container of this tea at a house I visited. Considering that it was probably quite old, it was surprisingly good.
The lemon flavor is present, smooth, and somewhat muted. There is a grassy undertone that I assume is the echinacea. And there is just a hint of licorice, which adds sweetness without bei...
Bao Zhong Oolong Tea from Rishi Tea
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 18th, 2015
Very soothing tea. This reminds me a lot of a tea I've tried before, but I honestly can't figure out which one. It tastes, perhaps, similar to a good milky oolong, even though that's a different kind?
Silky and slightly floral, no bitterness--a great tea for sipping while relaxing. I'll update the value rating afte...
Vanilla Almond Decaf from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 17th, 2015
Impressive tea. I'm finding that well-flavored decaf teas are something I really enjoy.
The vanilla is strong and high quality. The tea has undertones of raisin/muscatel that blend very well. Together, the sweetness is just right. I could detect no bitterness, yet the drink had plenty of body. Very enjoyable!
Hibiscus Berry from Rishi Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 14th, 2015
Very nice tea! Even the dry leaf is robustly fruity. Love the balance of fruitiness, tartness, and floral flavoring. The first cup had a nicer, redder color than the second, but the flavor was still good. There is no actual tea (or chamomile, rooibos, etc.) in this one; good for when you want flavor, but not caffeine. ...

Peach Tranquility Herbal Tea from Teavana
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 13th, 2015
Not bad, but not the best peach-flavored tea I've had. The chamomile isn't bitter and adds body, and the aroma is strongly of a sweet peach. There's also a creaminess of an unknown source, and it's not quite right. After I started drinking it, I had an odd feeling--like my nose and the top of my throat had become sligh...

Lemon Vitality (Lemon Green Tea) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Green Tea with Lemon – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 13th, 2015
Quite meh. This tea goes bitter too easily and the lemon isn't nearly bright enough for me. Makes multiple cups easily, so that's good if you like it. Unfortunately, though it isn't the worst, it's far from the best tea, imho.

Chillin' Chai from Positiffitea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 8th, 2015
Not bad, but a bit too dominated by licorice (aroma and flavor) for my taste. Spicy, sweet, and best as a latte in my opinion. It doesn't go bitter easily, thankfully.

Oolong Tea (16 ct.) from Yamamotoyama
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 8th, 2015
I remember drinking tea like this in Japan. It was never my favorite, unfortunately, but this didn't seem to be a bad sample of it. It has a sort of baked-like flavor that can be very hit or miss with me. Adding honey helped.

Organic Dragon Well (Long Jing) from Bare Tea
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 7th, 2015
After trying it again, I'm redoing my original review of this tea.
This is a very nice Dragon Well. Excellent price for the quality and, so long as you don't let it oversteep, it makes several excellent cups.
This tea infuses quite slowly and tends to look pale. The taste is there, though. Waiting for some steam ...
Fantasy Masala Chai from Parivar
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 3rd, 2015
It's not my all-time favorite chai, but this tea is very solid. The cardamom flavor is the most notable and it provides a certain briskness to it. You should, in my opinion, definitely add a bit of sugar and milk (creamer works too if that's all you have at your job). This really makes it an enjoyable, fairly invigorat...

Decaf Chai Spice Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 2nd, 2015
Quite solid tea. I only tried it straight, without milk or sugar. I suspect it'd be even better with milk and perhaps sweetener, but it's pretty good on its own. Cinnamon is definitely the strongest spice I smell. Decently substantial flavor without bitterness. If you're needing a cheap decaffeinated chai, this one isn...

Wild Blueberry from Republic of Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 2nd, 2015
And now, I get to the final tea of my pack of 24 (plus 2)!
Unfortunately, while this tea wasn't bad, I wasn't impressed with it either. It's a pretty straight forward blueberry and black tea flavor, though the tea isn't complex enough to make this really interesting. Maybe it'd be better with a little sugar? It's ju...
Bengal Spice Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 28th, 2015
Oooh, tasty! A non-caffeinated chai that's a lovely balance of spicy and sweet, with enough complexity to be interesting. It tastes like a red hot candy without the heat. It should be a dessert tea, I think. Easily the most impressed I've been with Celestial Seasonings so far.

Red Velvet Cuppa Chocolate from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 27th, 2015
Quite good! It doesn't quite reach perfection for me, but it's among the best chocolate teas I've found. It also is *strongly* reminiscent of red velvet cake, with a vanilla accent. Naturally, this is a sweet/dessert tea.
It's hard for me to put my finger on how it could be improved, though I have a feeling it could...
Raw Green Rooibos (Raw Green Bush Tea) from Republic of Tea
Style: Green Rooibos – Region: South Africa70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 26th, 2015
Interesting tea--herbaceous in a way that reminds me of some tulsi teas, though this has no tulsi in it. I haven't had green rooibos before--this one being pretty good means I should probably try other varieties of it.
Grassy, but not in the same way as green teas, is how I'd describe this tea's aroma, flavor, and m...
Pomegranate Vanilla Red Tea from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 26th, 2015
Really good! An excellent balance of lightly tart and lightly sweet flavors. The first cup was an enticing, and therefore quite quick, drink. I had it at work at the beginning of the day. The second cup isn't as strong as the first, but is still pleasant.
No loose leaf version of this one is available, unfortunately...
Peppermint Bark Cool Winter Herb Tea from Republic of Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 25th, 2015
Not bad. I've had a hard time finding a chocolate-based tea that I'm really crazy about, and this one is no exception. It isn't dazzling and the mint isn't my favorite, but it isn't offensive either. On the plus side, it's pretty easy to get a second cup out of this one.
I appear to have gotten a sample at the end o...
Hibiscus Vanilla Apple from Republic of Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2015
The apple is very notable in this herbal tea. It tastes sweet, natural, and a bit sort of palate smacking--an apple juice-like taste rather than apple cider. Good stuff. The hibiscus provides background flavor/texture, but isn't as dominant as some of the other flavored hibiscus teas by this brand. This one has a refre...

Hibiscus Coconut from Republic of Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 21st, 2015
Love it! Though I wish the hibiscus was stronger, it blends perfectly with the coconut. People who normally find hibiscus too tart may really like this one. Just the right level of sweetness. The aroma is particularly wonderful. I'd happily get this one again.

Caramel Vanilla Cuppa Cake from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 20th, 2015
A sweet, tasty tea. Excellent dessert tea for when you're in the mood for it. Well balanced flavors with no bitterness. As usual, though, the second cup was weaker.
It comes in packs of 50, so if you like this one it's very affordable.
Ginger Peach 100% White Tea from Republic of Tea
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 19th, 2015
I accidentally brewed this one near boiling, forgetting it was a white tea. I suspect this is why the first sip tasted a little bitter. I fixed this with just a bit of sugar, making it suddenly a near-perfect cup. I like this one even better than the ginger peach black tea! Also, this may be the first flavored white te...

Hibiscus Key Lime from Republic of Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 18th, 2015
Not bad, but disappointing. The hibiscus isn't strong enough and something about the key lime flavor tastes fake. The flavors just aren't playing off each other the way they should be. It isn't so much offensive as simply meh.

get clean - No. 7 from Republic of Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 17th, 2015
First off, I should say I generally make it a point to avoid wellness/medicinal teas because I don't like to encourage a lack of rigor in medical/health claims. And frankly, an herb that "stimulates the liver" sounds terrifying. My liver works just fine without prodding. I tried this one because it came as a free sampl...

Chamomile Lemon from Republic of Tea
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 16th, 2015
Probably my second favorite chamomile blend (behind Numi's chamomile lemon), and so pretty impressive. The chamomile is there but not better and blends well with the other flavors. There is a hint of both lemon and of herbaceousness. Big chamomile fans would likely enjoy this more than I do, but the quality is good and...

Cranberry Blood Orange from Republic of Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 16th, 2015
Surprisingly good! I liked the orange better than I expected. It finishes a little astringent, but otherwise is quite good. Smells good too, if you're in the mood for something moderately citrusy.
