Sweet Dreams Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 12th, 2013
The aroma is very very minty, not so much with the other herbs, but that happens with mint teas. Really good to inhale the vapors when you are having a stuffy nose!
The taste is a great blend of minty, the earthy/floral taste of chamomile, and the tanginess of hibiscus. There is a softening effect from the rose w...
Darjeeling (teabag) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 12th, 2013
The aroma is sweet, it is hard to describe it as anything other than that, it is sweet and very pleasant.
I am beginning to think I am not a fan of Darjeeling unless it is in a blend, because this is the second Darjeeling I have had and not been fond of.
The taste was tart, bitter and a little muddied. I am wil...
African Sunset from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 9th, 2013
I often find Rooibus hard to describe, especially to people who have never had it before. The aroma is like being in a deciduous forest in autumn, sweet, woodsy, and leafy. There is also the slightly zingy taste of the Lemongrass that adds both a citrus and a green taste to the tea, but it seems more of an after thoug...

Tamayokucha from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Tamaryokucha (Guricha) – Region: China63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 8th, 2013
The aroma is very green and vegetal with a slight hint of citrus. More like orange blossoms than orange fruit though, so I can see it also being considered floral.
The flavor is also very green, and not in a bad way. Very light and also very bright! The taste is more like grass than vegetables, which is something I...
Nonpareil Te Gong Huang Shan Mao Feng Green Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Huangshan, Anhui, China100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 7th, 2013
Starting with the dry leaves, I have to say this tea is beautiful. Bright green whole leaves and buds with a slight silvery fuzz, the aroma that comes from them is fresh and slightly floral, specifically it reminds me of yarrow.
The color of the liquid is a wonderful citrine color and the aroma is delightful. It re...
Whittard Original from Whittard of Chelsea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 3rd, 2013
Sometimes you get really lucky and find a treasure where least expecting it, in this case I found this tea at a discount style close-out grocery store. Described by the box as a strong traditional black leaf blend, the tea certainly looks and smells strong. The aroma is rich and slightly nutty with a hint of malt from ...

Laoshan Black Chocolate Genmaicha from Verdant Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
May. 30th, 2013
As with a lot of gourmet teas, this one is not very inexpensive so regardless on how much I love it I cannot just guzzle it. It is a special occasion tea! The aroma is that of chocolate, malt, and roasted rice, I could just sniff this tea for hours. Using Laoshan black with a bit of Oolong makes for a fascinating and e...

Premium China Keemun from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Keemun – Region: China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
The aroma of this tea is slightly fruity and very rich, the color is a beautiful dark amber with a tint of red. The flavor is delightful, slightly earthy and bright with absolutely no bitterness. I would describe this tea as both rich and mellow.

Vanilla Almond from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
I have had both the bags and the loose leaf of this delightful tea, I prefer the loose but the bags are wonderful as well. The aroma is a great blend of vanilla and almond that does not overpower the tea smell. The flavor comes in layers, first the almond, then the vanilla, and lastly the smooth black tea. Rich without...

Sticky Rice Pu-erh Tuocha from Chicago Tea Garden
Style: Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh – Region: Yunnan, China67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 30th, 2013
This might be the most peculiar tea I have ever tasted. I received it with a mixture of flavored Sheng and Shu Pu Erh Tuochas and had to try it first because I love sticky rice as a food. The aroma is mostly sweet sticky rice with a slightly fishy undertone from the Pu Erh. The taste is so unusual!!! You can taste the ...

Minecraft Creeper Tea (Signature Blend) from Adagio Teas
Style: Green Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
This a great tea for people who love Green tea with interesting layers. At first the aroma is one of flowers and slight smokiness (ok, not terribly evocative of Creepers, but really, what does one even smell like! Maybe it does smell like flowers) The taste reminds me overall of spring time. The flavors seem to have di...

Cherry Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
The first thing you notice is the almost overwhelming aroma of cherries when you open the bag, not bad but very strong. After a brew you still get the aroma and a delicate taste of cherries and a mild green tea. A very smooth tea evoking spring time. I found this tea was best straight with no sugar or cream since it is...

White Pear from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: Fujian, China37 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
I really wanted to like this tea, but something just didn't work for me. I think it was because the pear aroma and flavor tasted more like a candy or artificial flavoring than pear, and considering pear is my favorite fruit I might be just really picky. The actual tea flavor was oddly dirty and unlike any white I have ...

Spiced Apple Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
So many spices and appley goodness! It is like a perfect Apple cider with a Masala style zing. It is perfect for a cold morning. The aroma or both the leaves and the liquid is like autumn, all apples and warm spices. My only complaint is that the apple cider taste seems to drown out the tea making it more like drinking...

Blueberry from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
I am extremely picky when it comes to blueberry flavored tea, I want it to taste like ripe, sweet, blueberries and not tart unpleasant fruit. So many teas make the tart mistake but not this one! The aroma when opening the package is blueberries all the way, an added plus when you actually see blueberries in the leaves....

Cream from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
This is such a decadent tea! Delicious and bold the aroma is that of rich, sweet cream and the taste matches. A great dessert tea and an even better breakfast tea (if you want something sweet first thing).
I would not recommend this tea if you are not a fan of sweets!
Pu Erh Dante from Adagio Teas
Style: Pu-erh Tea – Region: Yunnan, China57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
I really wish I could rate this tea as good or great, but sadly I cannot. The aroma is one of earthiness and woodiness, it reminded me of an old wood trunk or even a humidor. The taste was not overwhelming, but it did taste very strongly of earthiness and leather, much as the description says, but after the drinking it...

Apr. 12th, 2013
Very mild and floral with a slight hint of that typical 'green' taste of green teas. Very delicate and mild and perfect for someone longing for a spring day! I think this might be my new favorite green

Apr. 12th, 2013
I am usually not a huge fan of honeybush tea but this tea was delicious! The hazelnut compliments it perfectly and it lasts several steepings. Really good with a dash of cream.

Chocolate Chai from Adagio Teas

Apr. 12th, 2013
This chai is not bad but it is also not very overwhelming. I was hoping for more of a rich spicy chai with a chocolate zing but it was mainly a mild chai with more chocolate aroma than taste.

Guanabana from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 12th, 2013
This just might be my new favorite from Adagio! Wonderfully floral and fruity with just a slight tart taste...just like guanabana fruit. It tastes good black or with a bit of sugar and milk.

Chocolate Chip from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 12th, 2013
The tea leaves smell very chocolaty but sadly I felt like the tea just tasted burnt. Also tastes a bit bitter like dark chocolate which I liked and felt complimented the tea taste. Wish it did not have the burnt taste or it would be a favorite!

Rose Congou from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Rose Black Tea – Region: China83 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 12th, 2013
The first thing you notice with this tea is the overpowering perfume of roses, it is like walking into a rose garden during full summer and everything is in bloom. It is not at all unpleasant or artificial smelling.
The taste is sublime, it is like drinking a rose garden with a really lovely black tea. Subtly sweet...
Almond (Black Tea) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 12th, 2013
I love almond teas and I am always looking for new ones to try, this one did not disappoint. At first the aroma of the leaves had me a bit worried, it was almost overpowering and I thought the tea would be bitter from almond extract (a common problem with almond teas) but upon brewing I discovered that the tea was not ...

Lapsang Souchong Organic Tea from Wegmans
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 11th, 2013
Smoked over pine fires in bamboo baskets this tea captures the taste of the fire. It is a perfect tea for cold winter nights…the taste reminded me of warm fires, high mountains, and clear cold skies. You can taste the full spectrum of tea with this type…the warmth from the sun, the aging leaf, and the smoke from th...
