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.

Black Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 21st, 2014
I'm turning out not to be a black tea person, and this is no exception. The flavor is bland with a bitter aftertaste. I think I need to stick to high quality, flavored black teas in the future.

Green Tea Decaf from Salada
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 21st, 2014
This is another decaf bagged tea that is neither offensive nor pleasant. It is, in a word, generic.

Decaffeinated Green Tea (Formerly Decaffeinated Green Tea with White Tea) from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Green and White Blend – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 21st, 2014
I like the simplicity of this tea, but was ultimately underwhelmed. It lacks any distinct or robust flavors.

Organic Sencha from Eden Organic
Style: Sencha – Region: Japan60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 9th, 2014
A nice, simple green tea. The flavor is weaker than I would like, though. The aroma is likewise nice but too weak. I'd love to try a more robust version of this style tea.

Bancha Hojicha from Choice Organic Teas
Style: Hojicha – Region: Japan53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 9th, 2014
The toasted rice flavor is quite strong. Some sips it didn't do much for me, other sips the smoky flavor felt like something I could get used to. I'll be more sure once I've tried a couple more of the bags.

Orange Blossom 100% White Tea from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 9th, 2014
I'm glad I tried this one, though I wasn't crazy about it. It tasted, more or less, like a straight forward white tea without accent flavors or scents. Not bad, but not ... um ... my cup of tea. :-)

Aged Earl Grey™ - Bergamot Black from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Assam, India67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 2nd, 2014
Updated Review: I tried this tea again and, this time, i was able to make it so that it was more enjoyable. As long as i don't let it overbrew and I add milk, this is actually quite a delightful tea--invigorating without being bitter.
The bergamot tastes natural, but I'd like a more robust citrus flavor. Last time I...
China Green Tips Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 25th, 2014
THIS tea. This may be the beginning to solving a mystery.
You see, when I lived in Japan for a year, I would make and enjoy teas just like this. I really love this flavor of green tea. It tastes and especially smells great.
*However*, after almost a year, I realized that certain green teas caused what I'm guessin...
Lady Grey from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
Meh. Again, I was underwhelmed by this tea from Twinings. Like their Earl Grey tea, I certainly appreciated the use of citrus to balance out the black tea. However, I found the overall effect unimpressive. I really need to try a high quality Earl Grey or Lady Grey tea to give these styles a fair shot. I'm glad I have a...

Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
This was my first time tasting an Earl Grey tea. I definitely appreciated the bergamot orange balancing out the black tea flavor a bit, though it still wasn't enough for me to outright enjoy this tea. On its own, it was still too tanniny, or something (bitter isn't quite the right word). With food (I had fried eggs) it...

Irish Breakfast from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
Though they ended up with the same score, I actually liked the Irish Breakfast slightly better than the English Breakfast from Twinings. Unfortunately, to say I "enjoyed" it would still be too strong.

English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
I'm not sure if I'll ever be crazy about black teas. I got a sampler pack of Twinings black teas so that I could try out my tastes, and this one was the most *meh* to me. Neither the aroma nor the taste were my style. I think I'll bring the remainder of these to work for others to use.

Hawaii Cocktail from TeaFrog
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 17th, 2014
I loved this fruity tea. It needed no sweetener and had a very sweet, pleasant, substantive aroma. It's an "herbal" tea (no actual tea in it), but is nevertheless excellent.
I tried this at a friend's house and do not know what she paid for it -- hence, I gave the value an average rating, but really I don't know the...
Green Tea (Teabags) from Teatulia
Style: Green Tea – Region: Bangladesh53 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 4th, 2014
I like the scent of this tea, both in the tea bag and from the tea itself. Without any sweetener added (my preferred method), the taste was a bit too tanniny, I think. The flavor wasn't exactly bitter, but it wasn't particularly pleasant.
When I added a small bit of sugar to the second steep, this notably improved t...
Jasmine Green (Formerly Monkey King) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: Hunan, China67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 1st, 2014
This tea had a strong jasmine scent that was very pleasant. The green tea wasn't as distinct of a scent for me, though once I began sipping it was definitely counter-balancing the jasmine. This one tasted a *lot* like flowering teas I've had in the past.
For the second steeping, I added a bit of honey, but found tha...
Caramel Almond Amaretti from Teavana
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 27th, 2014
I like the flavor, aroma, and color of this tea. (It's bright pink due to the beetroot in it.) It doesn't actually have any tea or herb leaves in it, but I still like it. Its sweetness is nice and subtle -- just enough, so that I don't feel the need to add any sweetener. The apple and beetroot give it a not-quite-fruit...
