Picture of Chai Masala Tulsi Tea

Chai Masala Tulsi Tea from Organic India

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????

47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 3rd, 2013

I usually like chai, but I don't like this tea much. The flavor is kind of bland - I had to brew it for a long time (7 minutes). I can't taste the black tea. The flavor is kind of overpowered by tulsi, which I don't like much in this context, and I don't think it goes well with the spices. I added cream and sugar.

Apr. 1st, 2013

This tea has a kind of bitter aroma and slightly bitter flavor. There wasn't anything about the flavor that I particularly liked, it just seemed kind of boring, but it was okay. I added cream and sugar.

This tea is good. I'm surprised, because I usually feel indifferent about hojicha, but this tea tastes less green than usual, and it has a rich, crisp flavor. I added cream and sugar.

I'm not very familiar with yerba mate. It smells like a tree or something. But it tastes really good - it has a rich flavor, kind of chocolaty. I added cream and sugar.

This tea is pretty good. I think most brands of vanilla rooibos taste similar. This one has a little stronger of a rooibos base than usual. I added cream and sugar.

Darjeeling from Twinings

Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India

67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 16th, 2013

This tea is pretty good, actually. I'm surprised because I don't usually like darjeeling or Twinings that much. I often find Twinings teas to be too bitter, and darjeeling teas to be too sickly sweet/vegetal tasting, but in this tea, the qualities seem to balance each other out, and it tastes like a normal, pretty good...

57 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 14th, 2013

I'm not usually a big fan of darjeeling teas. It tastes kind of bitter and vegetal, and I don't like those qualities. It's not as strong and rich as the kinds of black teas that I like more. It tastes kind of dry. I added cream and sugar.

I like this tea. It has a good amount of flavor and it blends well with the tea. The aroma is really nice. It tastes a little bit weak, though. I had to steep it for 6 1/2 minutes to get it strong enough. I added cream and sugar.

This tea smells like a campfire. The smoky aroma is kind of strong. I like it, but I could probably get tired of it easily. It tastes kind of weirdly sweet. I have mixed feelings about the flavor. I added cream and sugar.

I like the aroma of this tea, but it reminds me a little bit of those buttered-popcorn-flavored jelly beans. I can't brew it strong enough. I kind of like the flavor, but it also seems kind of bland. I added cream and sugar.

Feb. 11th, 2013

This tea is pretty good. It turned out really light-colored when I first brewed it, compared to other white peony teas. It also took a long time. It's pretty flavorful - it has a nice sweet flavor, but it doesn't have the same intensity to it as the Prince of Peace tea that I always drink. I don't like it as much. I ad...

I love this tea! It has a perfect blend of spices, and the base tea is strong enough. By the look of it, it appears to be heavy on cardamom. I added cream and sugar.

This tea has a pretty strong bergamot aroma, but I like it. I like the flavor a lot. It's strong and it had a good amount of bergamot. It tastes a little watery, though. I added cream and sugar.
