Honeybush Orange from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Honeybush – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 11th, 2014
Sweet, with an almost creamy orange flavor that tastes balanced, not fake. I enjoyed it except that it tasted watery compared to other adagio teas I've tried--though this might have been because it was a different barista at the tea shop this time. Maybe it was made weaker. Still, the flavor it did have was lovely, and...

Keemun Concerto from Adagio Teas
Style: Keemun Mao Feng – Region: Anhui, China57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 8th, 2014
Very interesting tea. It has a robust flavor that's hard to pin down in words. The dominant flavor is one that's savory and fruity at the same time. Perhaps akin to the flavor of sourdough bread? It tastes almost like a black tea, but without the bitterness that causes me to dislike most black teas. Of the tea I've tri...

Milk Oolong from Republic of Tea
Style: Milky Oolong – Region: Fujian, China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 7th, 2014
I'm honestly not sure whether or not I'm tasting the "milky" quality intended, but silky and smooth are quite accurate. I would also say it has a soothing, muted, simple flavor. I've only tried a few straight oolongs and not been a big fan of them, but this one tastes quite comforting. It'd made a very nice everyday dr...

Blueberry Black Tea from Spice and Tea Exchange
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Yunnan, China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 6th, 2014
Definitely one of the best black teas I've tried. It isn't bitter (even though I accidentally brewed it for almost 9 minutes), and the blueberry flavor goes with it very well. The fruitiness is present, but not overwhelming and the flavor seems natural. As usual, I didn't add any sugar, milk, or lemon juice.
If you ...
Masala Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 1st, 2014
The aroma may be the best part of this tea, with the flavor being a solid second. The smell is just about perfect if you're in the mood for something at once spicy and comforting.
The flavor was full and satisfying, though I'd personally prefer a tiny bit of sweetness be added to the flavor. So I ended up adding a b...
Calm Chamomile Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 27th, 2014
Still trying to give chamomile a chance, but it's not really working out. This doesn't have a bad taste and seems like a quality product, and the additional flavors (most notably, mint) aren't bad choices, but as a whole they don't fall together for me. I won't be getting this one again.

Calypso Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 26th, 2014
Now THIS is what a blended green tea should taste like! Love the fruitiness. I tried this twice, once hot and once iced, and both times it was excellent. It was prepared for me at a local coffee shop, so I can't give recommendations on steep time, but I'll be sure to ask them next time I get tea there.
Very smooth, ...
Earl Grey Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 23rd, 2014
I wanted to try another Earl Grey to make sure I properly gave that flavor a shot: I'm now more sure that black teas aren't my bag.
I think that someone who actually likes black tea (especially with a slight bitterness) would find this one pleasant. The bergamot and lavender work well together, both as a flavor and ...
Special Gunpowder from Temple of Heaven
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: China83 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 18th, 2014
The scent is very muted, but once you take a sip the flavor is pleasant and of good strength. It's definitely got a vegetal, almost savory feel to it, yet it isn't bitter at all. I like the taste and think it would pair it well with meals. It's quite good on its own, too. I haven't tried too many Chinese teas, but gunp...

Zen Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 17th, 2014
If you're in three mood for a lightly minty green tea, this one isn't bad. The flavors are smoother, subtler, and more harmonious than their herbal mint tea.

Gyokuro Imperial Green Tea from Teavana
Style: Gyokuro – Region: Japan70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 17th, 2014
Very nice green tea. It has a flavor somewhere between nutty and also fruity, if green tea were a fruit. Naturally sweet enough, it needs no sweetener. You'll want to steep it briefly and drink it somewhat quickly, as the taste can go bitter even after it's done steeping.
I only wish the price was lower.
Refresh Mint Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Mint Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 1st, 2014
Not a bad drink. I'm not as into the flavor of spearmint as I am peppermint, but if what you're in the mood for is mint it's a pretty good balance. This won't be a favorite of mine, but I suspect that's largely because the flavor profile isn't really me. The quality of the tea seems pretty good. It doesn't have an arti...

Rooted Raspberry Tea from Positiffitea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
May. 23rd, 2014
This is the first time I've really enjoyed a flavored green tea. More often I prefer my green tea pure, but the raspberry in this works really, really well. It's the kind of tea I could see becoming an "everyday" type with me. The aroma was pleasantly fruity too.

Bumble Bee White Tea from Positiffitea
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 23rd, 2014
With a name referencing bees, I mistakenly assumed the flavor would be of honey. It turned out the bee reference is due to the assortment of flowers included in the drink.
This tea is perfectly fine for a white tea. It didn't overwhelm me with awesomeness, but I think regular white tea drinkers may really enjoy it.
Tazo Chai Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
May. 23rd, 2014
Complex, robust, and pleasant. Love this tea. Without even placing it near my face, there was a strongly peppery aroma. There are an assortment of spices in here, several of which I'm sure I can't identify. But they all went very well together.
The main thing is not to let it overbrew, as this makes it a bitter blac...
Organic Green Tea Soothing Ginger from Simply Balanced
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 29th, 2014
With this tea I notice distinctly but subtly the flavors of both green tea and ginger. There has to be better ginger green teas out there, but this one isn't bad. I don't know what kind of green tea they used, but it doesn't seem like a messy blend the way that Tazo's version of this tea did. I bought my 20 bag pack fo...

Green Ginger from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: China37 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 29th, 2014
I was really hoping for better. I think the fact that it's a green tea blend rather than a specifically chosen variety of green tea may have been part of the problem. It's a bit of a mess without any clear standout flavors, imo. I didn't notice any specific pear flavor, and even the ginger was fairly muted rather than ...

Passion Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 28th, 2014
This has long been my favorite of the Tazo teas, and with its full leaf form it has managed to improve. The taste is very full and juicy, almost like drinking a hot juice with no sugar added. (Sweetness would only spoil this tea.) The flavor is quite tart, but not acidic. It has a mouthfeel that sort of clings to your ...

Blueberry Rooibos from Rishi Tea
Style: Fruit Rooibos – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 20th, 2014
Slowly but surely, I'm realizing that rooibos may be my favorite base for flavored teas. The aroma of this one before being brewed is intensely of blueberry, which I love. The flavor of the drink is both more subtle and more balanced. For me, this makes it a solid anytime tea. I brewed it fairly long, six minutes, but ...

Pu-erh Ginger from Rishi Tea
Style: Flavored Pu-erh – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 18th, 2014
This is a very interesting tea. It's got the body of a black/breakfast tea, but a flavor I prefer over that kind. The ginger works well with the pu-erh, which has an almost raw fish-like aroma and flavor that is better than that description might make it sound. This tea works really well with food.

Fiery Chai from Simply Balanced
Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 9th, 2014
This isn't a bad tea, but it would be more impressive if the flavor felt fuller. A more robust rooibos taste might make it feel more substantial. Or, perhaps I need to try this using two tea bags instead of one. I may try that next time.
Still, with a bit of spice and no sweetness, when you're craving something that...
Matcha Maker from Good Earth Teas
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????33 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 31st, 2014
Wow. This tea has a little too much going on with it and, for me, it just doesn't come together. Green tea and citrus don't strike me as complementary, and the licorice and stevia create excessive sweetness. (I'm not generally a licorice fan, but got this not realizing how much influence it would have.)
I'm doing wh...
Vanilla Rooibos Parfait Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 24th, 2014
I really like this one. It's sweet, smells nice, and has a robust flavor mixture that complements rooibos very well without overpowering it. I only wish the flavor was even more robust or even creamy. I bet this would make a lovely dessert tea if it was more creamy.

Calming Chamomile - Organic Herbal Tea from Simply Balanced
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 21st, 2014
I'll need to update this later, but for now I'll say that it's a straightforward chamomile -- so if that's what you like, then this is an affordable way to get it. I'd be willing to bet that it'd be a solid base for accents you add yourself. I'm not big on chamomile, but it isn't too bad. Need to try it again before gi...

Royal Tea from Newman's Own Organics
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 21st, 2014
I love that this tea is organic and *extremely* affordable, so I wish I liked it more. It goes bitter far too easily, though. I also wish it listed the style of green tea. However, it's well worth giving a shot to see whether or not you like it. A little sugar helps, but I prefer teas where this isn't necessary.
