Nightlife 2017 from white2tea
Style: Moonlight White – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 9th, 2020
I wasn't feeling well lately. I think I may have caught the flu, which has been going around. I tried a remedy of tea and herbs that often helps me, but it wore of quickly. So, I felt the urge to try some of this white tea, because I remember something I was told by someone regarding white tea being considered medicine...
Read Full ReviewChai (formerly Indian Spiced Chai) from Twinings
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 7th, 2020
I got a coupon from Twinings to replace some decaffeinated Earl Gray, which was really quite awful, and I decided to spend it on this.
The spices were a tad different than other chai tea bags I'd had before. I've had chai in restaurants and have bought tea bags in the Indian sector of a nearby city, and the spices i...
Chamomile from Lipton Tea
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 7th, 2020
Let's play tea detective. This product was a bit perplexing—not because of anything having to do with its own properties, but because it took some digging to find exactly this stuff online. Lipton sells a "Relax" branded chamomile in retail—on its site and in some stores—but I don't know if this is the same stu...
Read Full ReviewBombay Chai from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????61 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 30th, 2020
I love chai overall, so they tend to skew high in my ratings unless they either simply suck, or as in this case, are "just" decent while being overpriced. [Though I was served a couple bags of this tea at a Corner Bakery outlet, I based "value" on the online pricing.] My version came in a rectangular sachet sewn on t...
Read Full ReviewTazo Glazed Lemon Loaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????64 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 23rd, 2020
This tea smells just like a glazed lemon loaf. Really incredible. The flavor is subtle but enjoyable. I’d recommend not using more than 8 ounces to ensure it isn’t too diluted. For the price, this tea is really solid (3 dollars for 20 bags).

Jan. 21st, 2020
A perfectly acceptable Earl Grey.

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 21st, 2020
Really disappointing tea. Needs milk and sugar to be palatable, and even then it has pretty weak flavor.
Read Full ReviewMango from Fredsted
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 15th, 2020
Half-litre pot at home. Pours nearly clear copper brown with no sediment. Clear but not very inspiring aroma of mango and black tea. Bitter flavour of black tea leaves, with mild sweetish, fruity notes of mango. Bitter and slightly astringent palate with the aftertaste of black tea and mild acidic hints, becoming more ...
Read Full ReviewTropical Green Tea from Revolution Tea
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: ?????64 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 8th, 2020
Here was the last in a series of Revolution teas I've finished from a variety pack, and it was slightly above average, overall. The aromas and flavors are quite similar, across-the-board, from dry bag to cup to wet bag. The aroma is a good bit weaker than the taste, however.
The green teas used seem to be good qua...
Pumpkin Chai Tea (No. 1651) from TeaGschwendner
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: ?????84 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 7th, 2020
Half-litre pot at home. Pours clear dark copper brown with no sediment. Clear aroma of a variety of spices, pumpkin, cinnamon, anise and orange peel being the most dominant ones. Bitterish but mild flavour of black tea and Rooibos, enhanced by notes of pumpkin, cinnamon and pepper, with mild touches of ginger. Clean pa...

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 6th, 2020
Half-litre pot at home. Pours clear copper brown with no sediment. Clear aroma of caramel, with touches of cream and black tea. Sweetish flavour of caramel, with creamy and chocolatey notes and bitter black tea touches. Mild, slightly creamy palate, with notes of vanilla. Well, this is not a bad tea, just a run-of-the-...

Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: ?????58 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 3rd, 2020
This tea was "something else". It was my first nominally pear-flavored tea, but most of the experience was of something else. This was one of the few teas I've tried where the aromas were consistently the same from dry bag to cup to wet bag, but the taste was something else.
I found the aroma remarkably floral, ...
Caramel Shortbread from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????82 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 31st, 2019
This “tea” is sweet and aromatic. I enjoyed it, even just using hot water dispensed from a Keurig. The second stepping was weaker than the first, though some flavor was still present.

Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 30th, 2019
Cup at home. Pours nearly clear light copper brown with no sediment. Clear but mild aroma of black tea, with very mild hints of caramel. Smooth but bitter flavour of black tea, ending on a dryish note. This is my staple black tea, which I drink several times a day when I don't have the time to enjoy more sophisticated ...

Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: ?????85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 29th, 2019
Half-litre pot at home. Pours clear light orangeish with no sediment. Clear aroma of white tea and mallow blossoms, with distinct notes of blueberries. Bitterish flavour of tea leaves, with tart notes of blueberries. Clean palate with mild acidic hints. Relaxing and not aggressive. I have tried other blueberry teas, wi...
Read Full ReviewHoliday Tea from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 24th, 2019
Let me start by saying that I generally don't like flavored teas at all. Most of them taste artificial to me, the rest don't taste like tea and because I love the taste of tea, I'm left dissatisfied by them. But, as you can see, I gave this 80/100, so I was quite pleased with it. I was surprised not simply because of m...
Read Full ReviewConstant Comment® from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 11th, 2019
This is only the second tea by Bigelow that I've tried (and both, I've tried in the last two days). I've been, overall, impressed by Bigelow. I admit that after being quite disappointed by other American brands, I gravitated towards those from the UK. I assumed that they'd be better able to formulate a good cup of tea,...
Read Full ReviewEarl Grey Decaffeinated from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 10th, 2019
Twining's US uses a less-health-hazardous method for extracting caffeine from tea. I commend them for that, in principle. In practice, this is a terrible way of extracting caffeine because it takes all of the flavor along with it. There is a better way of doing it that is both less health-hazardous and maintains flavor...
Read Full ReviewChamomile Tea from McCormick
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 23rd, 2019
Though tagged here as retired, it seems McCormick has unretired it, for as of late October 2019, it is available in 10- or 25-count boxes on Amazon, and the web presences of big brick-and-mortar store chains like Wal-Mart, Safeway, Kroger and H-E-B. I got some in person at a regional Oklahoma chain today, for a little...
Read Full ReviewBarry's Irish Breakfast from Barry's Tea
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 17th, 2019
It's been a while since I've had tea from Barry's. I've had the Gold Blend in the past and I really liked it so I figured I would try the Irish Breakfast. On the front on the box it says it's their "lightest and most refreshing blend," but I don't agree with that haha!
It brews up a nice dark color with some slight...
Steep Rooibos Hibiscus Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: ?????66 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 16th, 2019
Upon opening the foil pouch, this smells strongly and plainly of rooibos. Adding the water brings a surprisingly strong aroma of orange oil.
The flavors play well together. The orange lends sweetness to the tart hibiscus and rose hips. The nuttiness of the rooibos adds a nice, nutty complexity that isn't often foun...
Tangerine Orange Zinger Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????61 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 16th, 2019
This member of CS' "Zinger" line has resided in the tea section of our pantry for a long time, occasionally brewed and chugged, and I just realized this morning that I haven't reviewed it yet. Therefore, this is that.
When I think of orange-flavored herbal teas, the first that comes to mind for me is Tazo's "Wild S...
Bengal Spice Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????74 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 10th, 2019
This blend has occupied my curiosity for many months, especially given that:
1. I like chai in general;
2. I've tried a couple other "tealess" chais with mixed results, and
3. The reviews on this have been all over the place, to say the least. For the statistically inclined: boost the sample size by a hundred w...
Orange Pekoe & Pekoe Cut Black Tea from Cain's
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 9th, 2019
For background, Cain's has a similar-sounding black tea that I've seen sold in stores here in Oklahoma for many years, but haven't tried yet. It comes in large-sized bags for the purpose of brewing a couple quarts at a time to make iced tea, but I don't know if it's the same blend of pekoes as this single-serving, foo...
Read Full ReviewOrganic Gas Relief® from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 5th, 2019
Friends and family will testify to my potent propensity for production of organic gas, from which they desperately desire relief. This tea, "Organic Gas Relief", therefore came not only recommended, but insistently so. It's touching that so many people care so much.
According to the box, precisely 300 mg each of f...
