Organic Earl Grey Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: India80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 29th, 2023
This is a good deal on an organic earl grey - as of this writing an 11 oz bag is selling for a very attractive price, and it is a good tea. The base tea is pretty mellow, and there is a little candied orange flavor from the bergamot. This is on the low-key side for the style. The aroma of the dry tea is strong and citr...

Solid Assam, good aroma with the expected earthiness, maybe a slight of chocolate. The liquor (5 min steep) is a dark brown. A nice 'clear' Assam taste, with absolutely no after taste.

Assam - Harmutty Estate Black Tea from Simpson & Vail

Dec. 11th, 2022
Really nice cup of tea! It was thick bodied and the flavor was rich and sweet. I didn’t notice much of an aroma however, but I could be having sinus issues now. I’ll come back and update my review if I notice more of an aroma later! But either way it still is a rly nice tea!

Assam - Itakhooli Estate from Simpson & Vail
Style: Assam – Region: Tinsukia, Assam, India75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 3rd, 2022
Aroma is not too strong but it does smell nice and interesting too! It actually has notes of raspberry in the aroma and taste and it’s rly unique and good! Otherwise it just tastes like a very classic assam tea, there is no objectionable astringentness or bitterness.

Assam - Itakhooli Estate from Simpson & Vail
Style: Assam – Region: Tinsukia, Assam, India79 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 24th, 2022
This was a rather strong, but high-quality Assam sold for an exceptionally good price.
The dry leaf has a potent aroma, spicy and fruity. I already notice the raspberry notes even in the dry leaf. But the aroma somehow betrays a slight harshness: I can tell this is going to be a tea with a bit of an edge, even befor...
Assam - Dikom Estate, GTGFOP1, Black Indian Tea from Simpson & Vail
Style: Assam – Region: Dibrugarh, Assam, India82 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 19th, 2022
The aroma of this tea is wonderful and bready and the aroma doesn’t wear off as you drink it. The taste is very smooth and honestly very “normal.” I like this tea because it is not astringent and it makes me feel good after drinking it (some teas don’t fully agree with me). For how normal this tea is though, it...

Nov. 18th, 2022
This was a smoother, higher-grade Assam that had a much lighter character than is typical for an Assam.
The dry leaf is pretty aesthetically pleasing, it actually looks much nicer than the picture S&V provided on their website: lots of tip, which looks more pale and less golden than some. Its aroma is rather fruity ...

One-litre pot at home, made from tiny dark brown leaves and golden tips of Assam tea. Pours clear dark copper brown (against white china) with no sediment.

This presents a very pleasant aroma but very little flavor. It is a mild, bland Darjeeling that should have been offered at a low price.

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: India90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 13th, 2022
Like a lot of SerendipiTea's products, this is both organic and kosher. The recipe is straightforward: black tea, ginger, cinnamon, anise, cloves, and cinnamon. Prepared the traditional way (which I learned how to do during a visit to India), this makes a well-balanced, flavorful, and pleasantly sweet and spicy chai. ...

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: India70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 12th, 2022
This is an Indian black tea flavored with organic coconut, organic marigold/calendula, and coconut and mango flavoring - so it is very tropical in character. It was quite nice with milk and sugar, or with just sugar, sort of dessert like. I bet it would be good on ice as well.

Jan. 11th, 2022
This is a medium strength tea with some light, woody tannins. It goes best with milk, but it works with lemon and sugar also. It has vanilla in it, and that helps give it a nice aroma, and has a subtle impact on the flavor. Overall, it is a good, versatile tea that I would buy again.

Organic Green Tea from Trader Joe's

Sep. 2nd, 2021
Landing at a Trader Joe's store in Tucson while on a photography road trip out thataway, I bought a box of this, as a presumably acceptable substitute for some of the truly terrible, off-brand and store-brand (here's looking at you, Great Value) bagged green teas offered at motels and campgrounds. It was, but still fa...

One-litre pot at home, made from very wired, curly, longish dark brown leaves of Assam. Pours clear dark copper brown (against white china). Clear aroma of Assam leaves, with pronounced malty notes. Delicate, bitterish flavour of black tea leaves, with notes of malt and spicy touches. Mildly astringent palate with malt...

Jul. 28th, 2021
The aroma is nice, with a subtle sweetness, earning the 'winey' designation. The liquor brewed (five minutes) to a dark brown. Solid Assam taste with a slight tangy after taste that stays on the tongue. This tea might pair well with milk or sugar.

Pleasant mild aroma. The liquor medium honey color. Flavor is good, this tea would probably be overwhelmed with the addition of sugar or milk. Easy to sip and enjoy.

Apr. 2nd, 2021
This tea is a classic tasting black tea however it is not my favorite and it is mildly harsh (bitter) for me. It's still pretty smooth and not astringent which I like and I would drink it again if someone served it to me. It's a bit expensive though so I probably wouldn't buy it again since there's better stuff out the...
