Tazo Chai Full Leaf from Tazo Tea

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

80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
May. 23rd, 2014

Complex, robust, and pleasant. Love this tea. Without even placing it near my face, there was a strongly peppery aroma. There are an assortment of spices in here, several of which I'm sure I can't identify. But they all went very well together.

The main thing is not to let it overbrew, as this makes it a bitter blac...

Organic Green Tea Soothing Ginger from Simply Balanced

Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????

53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 29th, 2014

With this tea I notice distinctly but subtly the flavors of both green tea and ginger. There has to be better ginger green teas out there, but this one isn't bad. I don't know what kind of green tea they used, but it doesn't seem like a messy blend the way that Tazo's version of this tea did. I bought my 20 bag pack fo...

Mar. 31st, 2014

Wow. This tea has a little too much going on with it and, for me, it just doesn't come together. Green tea and citrus don't strike me as complementary, and the licorice and stevia create excessive sweetness. (I'm not generally a licorice fan, but got this not realizing how much influence it would have.)

I'm doing wh...

Royal Tea from Newman's Own Organics

Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????

63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 21st, 2014

I love that this tea is organic and *extremely* affordable, so I wish I liked it more. It goes bitter far too easily, though. I also wish it listed the style of green tea. However, it's well worth giving a shot to see whether or not you like it. A little sugar helps, but I prefer teas where this isn't necessary.

I'm turning out not to be a black tea person, and this is no exception. The flavor is bland with a bitter aftertaste. I think I need to stick to high quality, flavored black teas in the future.

This is another decaf bagged tea that is neither offensive nor pleasant. It is, in a word, generic.

I like the simplicity of this tea, but was ultimately underwhelmed. It lacks any distinct or robust flavors.

Orange Blossom 100% White Tea from Republic of Tea

Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: ?????

50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 9th, 2014

I'm glad I tried this one, though I wasn't crazy about it. It tasted, more or less, like a straight forward white tea without accent flavors or scents. Not bad, but not ... um ... my cup of tea. :-)

Earl Grey from Twinings

Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????

60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014

This was my first time tasting an Earl Grey tea. I definitely appreciated the bergamot orange balancing out the black tea flavor a bit, though it still wasn't enough for me to outright enjoy this tea. On its own, it was still too tanniny, or something (bitter isn't quite the right word). With food (I had fried eggs) it...

Irish Breakfast from Twinings

Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????

47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014

Though they ended up with the same score, I actually liked the Irish Breakfast slightly better than the English Breakfast from Twinings. Unfortunately, to say I "enjoyed" it would still be too strong.

English Breakfast from Twinings

Feb. 23rd, 2014

I'm not sure if I'll ever be crazy about black teas. I got a sampler pack of Twinings black teas so that I could try out my tastes, and this one was the most *meh* to me. Neither the aroma nor the taste were my style. I think I'll bring the remainder of these to work for others to use.

Organic Ginger from Traditional Medicinals

47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 25th, 2014

This tea was disappointing. It didn't have the brightness or pungency that I was expecting, and that I have had in other simple, pure ginger "teas" (the only ingredient in this one was ginger -- no actual tea). Since the "gingery" quality was dull, the lack of any other flavor to compliment it was very notable. There i...

Gunpowder Green Tea - Temple of Heaven from Numi Organic Tea

73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 22nd, 2014

A 3 minute or so steep was good for me with this tea, which brewed to an amber color. It reminds me of teas I drank and enjoyed while living in Japan (though this style is actually from China). The smell, pleasantly "grassy", is muted until your face is in the cup, but very nice. It feels, for me, like a tea of nostalg...
