Black Cherry Berry Herb Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 15th, 2013
Celestial Seasonings makes a lot of caffeine-free fruit teas, which I very much appreciate for later in the day. This one is probably my least favorite, but it's certainly not horrible by any stretch of the word.
The aroma is distinctly sweet and berry-laden, and the color is a rich magenta-red. The flavor is good...
Antioxidant Green Tea (Antioxidant Supplement) from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend33 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 14th, 2013
very light and bland...hardly any flavor at all...very little smell....slightly flavored water...maybe a hint of sweetness and fruit...would rate lower but it doesn't qualify as "bad" ...very old box may have effect on rating.. x3

African Rose (Rooibos and Roses) from Octavia Tea
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 14th, 2013
A really delightful, balanced, and complex blend that is only subtly lemony and floral. Served in Velvet Sky Bakery in Jenkintown, my usual place for sampling Octavia's teas.
The dominant aroma in this is rooibos, and I like that; the other herbs used in flavorings are subtle. The rose and linden are only barely e...
Luzianne Tea from Luzianne
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend33 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 11th, 2013
no smell with single unidentifiable taste like the last rater mentioned....not really a bad tea...just nothing good...needs help in the way of sugar and other additions

Organic Earl Grey (Loose) from Harney and Sons
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 11th, 2013
Received an 8 ounce tin of this tea for Christmas, and have nearly finished without ever having left a review... It is really a wonderful tea, that is both bold and yet light--good for traditional afternoon English tea, or just for a casual cup to sip through out the day.
Nice base of primarily Assam and Keemun tea...
Chocolate Peppermint from Tea Horse
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 9th, 2013
A subdued blend that I found very pleasing.
The cup has a light aroma which strongly reminds me of the inside of the old Wilbur chocolate factory in Lititz PA, with the smell of chocolate and peppermint. The peppermint has a slightly creamy quality to it.
Upon sipping, the flavor is pleasant...there's a slight m...
Chocolate Peppermint from Tea Horse
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
I'm impressed with this tea. It has a rich flavor. I can really taste the chocolate, and it has a strong black tea that I really like, and it really supports the flavor well. It's a nice blend of flavors. I added cream and sugar.

Lady Grey from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
I was unimpressed with this variation on the classic Earl Grey. Of course, this blend lacks the bergamot which makes Earl Grey so distinctive, I think in an attempt to soften the flavor. Unfortunately, for me it softens the flavor too much.
To me this tea tastes weak and thin. While the overall blend of citrus is...
Earl Grey from Bigelow Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
I appreciate Bigelow's attempt at making a nice, strong Earl Grey. Unfortunately, something about the flavor does not agree with my palate. I find it to be very easily overbrewed, and often finicky. Nearly every cup I have tried has an unpleasant, bitter aftertaste.
I'll probably continue to try this one, in ho...
Premium Black Tea - Pure Mint from Twinings
Style: Black Tea with Mint – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
This is my go-to Twinings tea. Why? I enjoy the strong, minty scent, and in the winter it is most comforting.
That said, the actual flavor leaves something to be desired. It does taste mostly of mint, with only the barest hint of black tea underneath. Now, the minty taste is the reason I like it, but I fully und...
Constant Comment Decaffeinated from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
As this was the first tea I ever tasted, it is only fitting that it should be my first review.
The orange comes through strongly in the aroma, though less so in taste. The flavor is more mild, the tea muted under various spices and a hint of orange. It is not a very strong tea, but it is a reliable and pleasant br...
Alps Red Fruits from Lipton Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 5th, 2013
I absolutely love this tea. It also warms you up inside.

Chocolate Strawberry Mocha from Shanti Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 3rd, 2013
I used to drink tons of coffee, the by product of working in a coffee shop as a teenager. I got a bit sick of it, but still love the smell and taste of it on occasion.
The aroma is delightful, a mellow blend of tea mixed with rich chocolate and coffee and a sweet yet slightly tangy kick of strawberry. The smell rem...
Berry Cabernet (Formerly Berry Cocktail) from Octavia Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 31st, 2013
This struck me as a rather typical fruity / berry blend. The flavor was natural: slightly tart but not too much so. The color is a rich brownish red, not so purplish as a lot of hibiscus-dominated blends.
I've tasted pure schizandra berries before, but I can only slightly detect their distinctive peppery aroma.

British Breakfast from Republic of Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 29th, 2013
I was actually quite interested to finally sample this tea, as Republic of Tea seems more oriented towards blends and flavored teas, but I tend to like pure teas best.
I found this to be an average black tea in tea bags. Nothing really jumped out at me. There were fewer objectionable qualities (less harshness) tha...
Chocolate Chai from Octavia Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 24th, 2013
Served in Velvet Sky, Jenkintown.
This blend smells very chocolatey, but upon sipping it the dominant aroma is cinnamon. I wasn't crazy about the Spiced Chai Mate from Octavia for the same reason: too much cinnamon, and I feel the same way about this blend: it would otherwise be very good, but has too much cinnamon...
Decaf Vanilla Nut Creme Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 23rd, 2013
Not a fave - the sweet vanilla and almost-coffee like nutty notes just don;t seem like "real tea" to me. This one you have to drink hot - it's not a good flavor for iced - not refreshing but it is comforting in a sweet-artificial-vallinin sort of a way. Tea trying to be a coffee? Doesn't work for me.

Pomegranate Green Tea from Republic of Tea
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 18th, 2013
I really enjoyed this over ice at a local coffee place. It was a very hot July day and I needed some iced tea. Not alot of sweetening required as there is a natural fruity-sweetness to the pomegranate. Lovely.

Spiced Chai Mate from Octavia Tea
Style: Flavored Yerba Maté – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 17th, 2013
Served at Velvet Sky bakery in Jenkintown.
I haven't had many Yerba Mate-based "chai" blends, so I don't have much to compare this to.
Cinnamon is the dominant tone in the aroma, which I don't like. I actually prefer masala chai without any cinnamon, but whether or not there is cinnamon, I prefer other spices, e...
Black Tea (Regular / Original) from Dunkin Donuts
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 12th, 2013
I've had this tea quite a few times and it is surprisingly good for what it is, as well as being surprisingly versatile.
Not really a typical breakfast tea...I don't know what teas go into this blend, but it shares some characteristics with Darjeeling teas and other smoother teas, and doesn't seem much like a typica...
French Breakfast from Octavia Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 3rd, 2013
Served at Velvet Sky Bakery in Jenkintown.
This is called French Breakfast but it conjures up more of a Russian image to me, especially the combination of rose with other flavorings, against the background of a strong black tea.
I was expecting this to be stronger than some of Octavia's other teas, which tend to ...
Organic Breakfast from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 3rd, 2013
This is served at a local coffee shop I go to - along with other (and better) varieties of Mighty Leaf. This is a run-of-the-mill black blend - fully caffeinated - and not a fave but better than grocery-store brands. I much prefer (as Alex has said) the green ones.
Also it brews/steeps up dark and fast - 4 minutes...
Orange & Cinnamon Spice from Twinings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend30 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jun. 29th, 2013
This tea has a strong aroma of orange, but the aroma seems artificial...a little like orange-flavored popsickles, orange starburst, Sunny D, or any number of artificial orange-flavored things.
I found this tea also left a tingly sensation on my palate...similar to blends including clove. I didn't taste much clove i...
Blueberry Bliss Rooibos Tea from Teavana
Style: Fruit Rooibos – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 26th, 2013
I, generally don't like Rooibos - but Teavana crams so much fruit flavor in (and aroma) that it's hard to resist these (especially free samples) over ice in summer. While I like the Pineapple pop better, this one is good, too and the new Blueberry/Pineapple blend is also worth a try if you like herbal tisanes. Oh - a...

Blueberry Kona Pop from Teavana
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 24th, 2013
Smelled awesome and tasted good over ice - and I hate Roiboos - but this is blended like an herbal tisane. Fruity and herby.
This is a blend of Pineapple Pop and Blueberry Bliss so there is a WHOLE lot going on here.
