Pumpkin Spice Black Tea from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 30th, 2013
The aroma is sweet and spicy, lots of spice! The most prevalent spice is clove. Once the tea is brewed the spices balance out and is perfect for a chilly day. A very autumnal aroma indeed.
The taste is great, a balance of sweetness and spiciness. It tastes just like pumpkin pie spice (no pumpkin of course) and is p...
Cherry Marzipan (Skin Smart) from Tea Forte
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 28th, 2013
The aroma is very sweet, lots of almond and cherry goodness, sadly no aroma of tea sneaks through. Once steeped you can smell a bit of a leafy green tea aroma along with the now mellowed out cherry and almond.
The taste is mellow and smooth. Not very sweet (unlike the aroma) and a nice blend of almond and cherry. It...
Japanese Ku-Ki Ho-Ji Cha (Roasted Ku-Ki Cha) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Hojicha – Region: Japan77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 23rd, 2013
The aroma of this tea is very strong, almost too strong! I made the mistake of sticking my face into the package and got overwhelmed! Once I sniffed the tea at a farther distance the aroma is still mostly strongly roasted hojicha, no other nuanced notes float through. Once it is brewed however it takes on notes of swee...

Caramel MATCHAccino from Matcha Outlet (Formerly Red Leaf Tea)
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Japan93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 21st, 2013
The aroma on this tea is very much what it says on the bag, caramel and matcha. Super sweet and a little decadent.
Drinking it cold is delicious, very smooth and creamy. The matcha flavors are prominent and the caramel tastes more like caramelized sugar than candy.
When it is warm the flavors become creamier an...
Honey Lavender Stress Relief from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 21st, 2013
I am not so much stressed today, but I am unwell and can do with some relaxation. The aroma is sweet and delicate, minty, and mildly lavender. There are also notes of grass and lemon balm. The aroma is very refreshing, my sinuses approve. Once the bag has been steeped the mint is calmer and there is a hint of vanilla....

PuriTea Rooibos Burdock Mango from Raizana
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 19th, 2013
This tea smells really good, and when you are dealing with a medicinal tea that is always a good sign. So many of the Chinese medicinal teas I drink smell and taste really nasty. The aroma is a sweet, tropical, earthy, and clean. Once brewed it takes on a stronger rooibos aroma and is fairly creamy.
The taste is wo...
Lime Chiffon from Della Terra Teas
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 18th, 2013
This tea smells exactly like Lime chiffon, I mean exactly. Blindfold me, put me in front of this tea and most likely I would ask for a fork and try to eat the leaves. Of course when I steep this tea the whole room ends up smelling like dessert.
The taste is exactly what it says on the tin, it tastes just like Lime C...
White Monkey from Single Origin Teas
Style: Green Tea – Region: Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 18th, 2013
The aroma of this delightfully fuzzy tea is initially citrus sweet but also has notes of papery. I know, papery is an odd thing to say about a tea's aroma but to me it smells like artisan Washi and very pleasant. There are also notes of cedar and fresh greenery. Once the tea is steeped it takes on the aroma of artichok...

Style: Green Tea – Region: Uva, Sri Lanka80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 18th, 2013
The aroma of this tea is brisk, citrusy, and invigorating, there are also notes of fresh grass. Once the leaves are brewed there is vegetal aroma that mixes with the citrus.
The taste is delicious! Honey sweet with lychee and orange blossoms. A very sweet tea for one with a vegetal aroma!
Chamomile Rose Silver Needle Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 13th, 2013
The aroma of this tea is wonderful, a bit herbaceous from the Silver Needles and full of floral and straw notes from the roses and chamomile. It takes on a rich sage aroma once it is brewed and the liquid retains a bit of the sage and mixes it with the rose and chamomile aroma.
The taste is very refreshing and mildl...
Eight Treasures Yabao from Verdant Tea
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: ?????93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 12th, 2013
The aroma is a wonderful blend of fruits and flowers, it is amazing. It is also followed by notes of pine resin. This tea has one of the cleanest aromas I have ever had the pleasure of smelling.
The taste is delectable, I can taste vanilla, jasmine, pine resin, and honeysuckle. It blends wonderfully and is sweet a...
Tupelo Honey Fig from Tea Forte
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 12th, 2013
This tea smells like leaves, no herb or aroma sticks out as being prominent, it is just dried leaves. It smells like nature! Sadly this means it does not smell like figs or honey which is disappointing. After it is steeped the aroma of honey is present along with herbaceous notes.
The taste is odd, a bit tingly and ...
Jade Oolong (Four Seasons Spring) from Rishi Tea
Style: Four Seasons Oolong – Region: Nantou, Taiwan60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 12th, 2013
The aroma of this oolong is very mild, not really vegetal but more like fresh vegetation growing on a spring day. It is also floral and a touch like fresh hay. Once brewed the aroma is much stronger and more floral, especially lilacs.
The tea is very mild, a touch vegetal with a bit of green beans and pine needles....
Graveyard Mist from 52 Teas
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: China77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 12th, 2013
Marshmallow steals the show! Not necessarily the candy sweet but the sweetness of marshmallow root. There are also vegetal notes and a bit of mint. Once steeped the leaves have more mint and the marshmallow sweetness becomes more light, replaced with more vegetal.
The flavor is sweet and minty. Very mild and subtle...
Sakura Tea from Obubu Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Japan83 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 11th, 2013
The aroma of these beautiful flowers is very mild, sweet and tangy like pickled peaches with a hint of flower and salt.
The flavor is incredible, I can see some people not liking it, but for me it is perfection. The taste is smooth and creamy mixing with floral notes and nuttiness. It mixes really well with other t...
Karigane (Gyokuro Sencha) from Den's Tea
Style: Kukicha – Region: Shizuoka, Japan87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 9th, 2013
The aroma is delicious! Vegetal with notes of artichoke and a hint of chestnut with an underlying hint of kelp. There is also a sweetness that just mixes perfectly with the other aromas. Once brewed it takes on a woodsy aroma with oddly, a hint of lime. It certainly smells like stems and I like that.
The taste very...
South African Green Rooibos (Red Bush) Superior from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Rooibos – Region: South Africa70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 8th, 2013
The aroma of the little leaves is very clean and reminiscent of standing in a hay field. I also notice hints of strawberry which was nice. Once brewed the aroma becomes much sweeter and takes on floral notes.
The taste is good! Not as sweet as the oxidized version but still sweet, no floral tastes but the fruit make...
Keemun Black Tea from Little Red Cup
Style: Keemun – Region: Wuyuan, Jiangxi, China83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 3rd, 2013
The aroma is very rich, sweet, and smoky. It reminds me of a sweet red wine. Once brewed it takes on the aroma of an oak cask and it is very pleasant.
The taste is mildly smoky and sweet with a tanginess that reminds me of an oak cask. Perfect tea for an autumn evening!
Superfruit White Tea - Mangosteen & Mango from Good Earth Teas
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 30th, 2013
The aroma of this tea is incredibly sweet and tropical, almost to the point of being too intense. The fruits are very prominent, but sadly none of the other aromas shine through.
The taste is a letdown, all that sweet build up in the aroma and steeping but the taste is herbal and tart. Very little taste of fruit at...
White Monkey from Little Red Cup
Style: Green Tea – Region: Hunan, China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 30th, 2013
The aroma of this delightfully fuzzy tea reminds me of a mix between the muscatel of darjeeling and the delicate green of a Pai Mu Dan. Once the tea is brewed it takes on more of a floral aroma which blends well the the notes that are already present.
The first steep is mild and vegetal with notes of mown hay. The ...
Ureshino Tama Ryokucha from Wegmans
Style: Tamaryokucha (Guricha) – Region: Saga, Japan77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 28th, 2013
The aroma of this tea is a wonderfully mild mix of chestnuts, scupernongs, and a touch of citrus. Once brewed the leaves take on a more hay aroma which blends really nicely with the chestnut.
The taste is very mild and delicious! Sweetness with mild vegetal aftertastes. I will have to get my hands on more of this o...
Houjicha - Smokey from Obubu Tea
Style: Hojicha – Region: Kyoto, Japan80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5

This tea manages to embody everything wonderful about autumn, meaning it smells very smoky and richly roasted. Very clean and very earthy!
The flavor is intensely complex! Very rich and resinous with smoky notes and a sweet aftertaste. Delicious!
Tie-Guan-Yin Oolong First Grade from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: China73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 14th, 2013
The aroma is full of chestnuts and orchids, once brewed it retains its original aroma but brings in more roasted quality.
The flavor is mild and more green than I usually prefer my Tie Guan Yin, but it is still delicious.
Bamboozled from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5

The aroma is heady, sweet, and slightly green. Once brewed the tea takes on a more citrus quality and brings out more the floral.
The taste is sublime. The subtle sweetness blends perfectly with the tropical pineapple and sweet peaches. Perfect for a summer day!
Chestnut Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 7th, 2013
This tea is nutty goodness! The aroma is nutty, malty, and just slightly burnt. Luckily the burnt aroma fades with brewing and the aroma becomes much richer.
The taste is delicious, very evocative of the cold night curled up in front of a fire munching on chestnuts. Subtle sweetness mixed with roasted nuttiness for...
