Cinnamon Apple Herbal Tea from Lipton Tea

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend

63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 6th, 2011

This tea is not bad for an herbal tea. It doesn't have too much cinnamon. It tastes kind of like hot cider, but I added cream and sugar, so it tastes like a creamy hot cider, which is pretty good.

Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: ?????

70 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 30th, 2011

This tea is pretty good. It has a nice smoky aroma, but it's too weak, and on the verge of being too bitter, like other Twinings black teas I've tasted. I really like the smoky flavor, though. I added cream and sugar.

Roastaroma Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings

Style: Coffee Alternative / Substitute – Region: ?????

53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 27th, 2011

I can't quite decide how I feel about this tea. It sort of hovers on the line between really good and completely off. I like that it brews really dark. Usually with Celestial Seasonings teas, I have to leave the teabag in for like 10 minutes, but this one took just a couple of minutes. It has this nice roasted flavor, ...

This tea is pretty good. It has a nice, sweet aroma that reminds me of oolong. The flavor is pretty mild, though. I added cream and sugar.

53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 11th, 2011

This tea is okay. I'm not sure I like Darjeeling very much. I'm starting to think I don't, in general. It has a weird flavor that I don't particularly like. This one isn't too bad compared to other ones I've tried, though. I drank it with cream and sugar.

This tea is really good. I was surprised. I don't usually like fruity teas, but the peach blends in with the caramel flavor very well, and the caramel gives this tea an awesome sweet flavor. I added cream and sugar.

Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India

53 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 9th, 2011

This tea has a sort of vegetable-like aroma that I don't like much. It's interesting, though. It has a kind of peachy flavor. I'm not a big fan of fruity teas, so I don't like it a lot, but it's okay. I added cream and sugar.

Hot Cinnamon Spice from Harney and Sons

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????

20 / 100 Aroma: 1/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Oct. 9th, 2011

I don't like this tea. It just tastes like cinnamon, and it especially has an overwhelming cinnamon aroma that makes me not want to drink it. But the flavor isn't quite as terrible. It tastes kind of like those red hot candies, which I hate, but if you like them, then you might like this tea. I added cream and sugar.

Style: Black Tea – Region: Kericho, Kenya

47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 22nd, 2011

This tea is okay. It has a sort of weird sweet vegetal taste to it. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to prepare it, because it's so fine that it goes through the strainer, and I have bits of leaf in my cup.

I like this tea. It has a nice sweet flavor. It tastes kind of citrus, and I usually don't like citrus flavors in tea, but it works well in this one. I added cream and sugar.

This tea has a nice almond flavor. The aroma is overpowered by cinnamon. I don't usually like herbal teas, but this is a nice caffeine-free alternative to tea or coffee. I drank it with cream and sugar.

This is a nice blend. Unlike other mint green teas, the mint doesn't overpower the tea, but it still dominates the flavor. I like the quality of the green tea. I added cream and sugar.

Sep. 14th, 2011

This tea has a nice aroma, but the flavor is a little weak. The cinnamon doesn't blend very well with the apple flavor. It's a little too fruity for my taste, but I don't usually like fruit flavored teas. I like the caramel flavor, though. I added cream and sugar.

This tea is really good! It has this malty flavor that I love. It's strong and not too bitter. I think it would appeal to people who usually prefer coffee, but want to try something different. I added cream and sugar.

Sep. 12th, 2011

Mmm, this tea is good. It tastes a bit weak, though, and I don't want it to get too bitter. But I like the blend of spices. It's a little like chai, and I'm a big chai fan, but I like that this tea has much less cinnamon flavor. I can barely taste the pumpkin. I added cream and sugar.

Sep. 11th, 2011

I was expecting this tea to be too weak for my taste, but it actually had a good amount of flavor. I'm not the best judge of gourmet teas, though, but I've started liking white teas more. The silver needle doesn't have as much of the tangy flavor of other white teas I've tasted.

Sep. 11th, 2011

This is pretty good for an herbal tea. I don't usually like herbal teas. It smells mostly like cinnamon. It funny that it's called Guayusa Spice, and the only spice it has is cinnamon. The flavor is pretty good, though. I added cream and sugar.
