Peppermint Guayusa from Runa
Style: Flavored Guayusa – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 24th, 2011
I actually thought this tea had a rather subdued peppermint presence, and I noticed the guayusa more than the mint, which is good. I did not think the two flavors blended particularly well with each other though...the mint seemed to obscure or cloud the Guayusa and vice versa.
The aroma was muddled, the flavor mild...
Breakfast Blend Organic Black Tea from Samovar Tea Lounge
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 20th, 2011
Nice smooth, full bodied, malty, and a light briskness. Reminds me very much of Rishi Tea's Golden Yunnan Organic Black Tea, but a bit lighter on peppery tones. It is a beautiful blend of Dian Hong style tea (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dian_hong_tea) mixing whole leaf top-quality tea and a high content of fine go...

Organic Easy Digestion from Helps
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 12th, 2011
This blend contains three herbs that I like a fair amount, but would not blend in this particular combination for taste alone. The aroma is muddled and somewhat heavy. The chamomile dominates, and the anise is noticeable too...the mint takes a background.
The flavor is both sweet and bitter.
This is an interest...
Cranberry Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 11th, 2011
For the most part, I like this tea, but there is a caramel-like quality to the aroma that I find objectionable. It's not clear what ingredient imparts this quality. Besides that, I think the tea is pretty good.
The base is a standard, full-bodied Ceylon of good quality, and in this blend, the base tea is pretty so...
Breath (Respira) from Helps
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 10th, 2011
I can definitely notice the thyme, linden, and fennel in the aroma. I don't know what mallow and elderflower smell like, so I can't identify them. The aroma is earthy and herbaceous, mostly dominated by the thyme.
Flavor is moderately bitter. This tea has a sort of slimy mouthfeel, for lack of a better descriptor...
Organic Caramel Peach from Ronnefeldt
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 10th, 2011
This tea is really good. I was surprised. I don't usually like fruity teas, but the peach blends in with the caramel flavor very well, and the caramel gives this tea an awesome sweet flavor. I added cream and sugar.

Earl Grey from Ronnefeldt
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 4th, 2011
This is definitely a novel twist on Earl Grey, using a Darjeeling as a base tea, and having more lemony overtones than the standard Bergamot quality. It's not clear whether this is actually flavored with a lemony bergamot oil or with lemon as well, but it does resemble normal Earl Grey enough that I can see this as ju...

Estate Blend Tea from Bromley Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend97 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 30th, 2011
I absolutely love this tea. After spending years switching daily between a number of teas I now drink this tea exclusively. When I have to drink other brands now I am sorely missing the great flavor of this tea. Nice body and aroma.

Gingerbread Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 30th, 2011
Aroma suggests sweetness, in a way I am not a huge fan of. It also suggests nutmeg, although I don't see any nutmeg in the ingredients. Overall, this one struck me as weak...not exactly offensive, but just...something I mildly dislike, very slightly unpleasant.
I continue to be underwhelmed by most of Adagio's fla...
Cacaoberry Green Tea from Zhena's Gypsy Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 30th, 2011
I was very interested to try this tea, as cocoaberry was a new flavor in teas for me.
It had a nicely smooth flavor, which I enjoyed the most. There was also a lovely after-taste which lingered of smooth cocoa. Very pleasant,
I tasted a bit of the green tea and it hinted at bitterness, but it was kept very min...
Ginger Citrus from Runa
Style: Flavored Guayusa – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 29th, 2011
This one reminded me a lot of lemon-ginger herbal blends, but is substantially different. It uses orange, not lemon, and uses only orange peel, no extracts, which I greatly appreciate. The orange is subtle, but has a fairly fruity quality, and is recognizable as orange. The Guayusa mostly disappears into the backgro...

Organic Green Tea Leaves from Helps
Style: Green Tea with Mint – Region: Blend1 / 100 Aroma: 1/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Sep. 29th, 2011
The spearmint in this blend was smooth and pleasing...but the green tea was very bad to the point of making the blend almost undrinkable...a sort of foul, stale aroma...with a heavy, astringent taste. It tasted a lot like the low-quality Chinese green tea used in Bigelow's basic green tea bags, but it was far worse.

Pumpkin Spice Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend27 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Sep. 26th, 2011
This blend did not work for me; although I love the flavor of pumpkin, and can imagine it really working well in a blend with black tea, I found that the pumpkin flavor in this tea was somewhat artificial-seeming...highly estery, and cloying, and also clashing with the other aromas and flavors. I would say the aroma w...

Orange Blossom Oolong Tea from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 26th, 2011
This was an interesting tea; I find the idea of blending oolongs from Sri Lanka and India to be intriguing. The leaf is mostly larger pieces of broken-leaf tea, and has a mix of different colors, including mostly darker but some greenish leaf. It also includes jasmine petals, although they seemed possibly more orname...

Earl Grey from Darvilles of Windsor
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 23rd, 2011
I enjoyed this so much that I traveled to Windsor Farm Shop in UK to buy it. Quite strong, so I often initially steep briefly in a small amount of water, toss, and steep again in a full size teapot. Truly lovely!

Russian Blend Black Tea from Samovar Tea Lounge
Style: Russian Caravan – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 22nd, 2011
This is one of the most unusual "Russian Caravan" type teas I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Its name originates from the 18th century camel caravans that facilitated the transcontinental tea trade from tea-producing areas (namely India, Ceylon and China) to Europe via Russia. Although it is primarily considere...

Guayusa Spice from Runa
Style: Flavored Guayusa – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 21st, 2011
I was expecting this to taste a lot like Masala chai, and it didn't. The aroma is very gentle and soft, almost creamy...like rice pudding or oatmeal. There's a moderate amount of cinnamon, and it's a very soft type of cinnamon. I have to really focus to notice the lemongrass; I don't think I would have identified th...

Paris (Sachets) from Harney and Sons

I like this tea. It has a nice sweet flavor. It tastes kind of citrus, and I usually don't like citrus flavors in tea, but it works well in this one. I added cream and sugar.

Red Berries from Ronnefeldt
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 21st, 2011
My overall impression of this tea was that it was relatively unobtrusive, almost bordering on bland. It was slightly too sour for my tastes, but I find berry-flavored herbal teas usually are way too sour, so relative to other similar offerings on the market, this wasn't too bad.
There's a slight hint of an artifici...
Wild Encounter Herb Tea from Novus Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 20th, 2011
I am not a huge fan of these sour, fruity herbal blends with a hibiscus base. This one is good for what it is, but it's still too sour for my taste.
The cup brews a pinkish red hue, lighter than a straight hibiscus infusion. The flavor is sour but not overwhelmingly so (much less than, say, Tazo passion, or straig...
Cinnamon Orange from Market Spice
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 19th, 2011
This tea is unsweetened, yet the cinnamon imparts a significant sweetness to it. As someone who likes bitter teas, this one is actually a bit too sweet for me, even without adding anything to it. But I do appreciate the way they do not add any sweetener.
The aroma is mostly of cinnamon and orange, but the base bla...
Masala Chai from Rishi Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 19th, 2011
This is also my favorite chai tea and I have tried many, many varieties. I get my tea from Whole Foods stores and also get a large-to-go while I am shopping. They add some honey and vanilla to the tea and make it with milk. I always make/get my chai with milk In my mind, this is what Indian/Pakistani chai would tas...

Moulin Rouge Chai from SerendipiTea

Sep. 18th, 2011
This tea is awesome. It has a wonderful smoky flavor that blends perfectly with the vanilla and dominant clove flavor. It's the best chai I've tasted yet. I added cream and sugar.

Sep. 17th, 2011
Lightly smoky, like the base tea contains some Lapsang souchong...I initially notice the smoke more than the spice, but I also notice a lot of clove and ginger, and some cinnamon. I don't really notice the vanilla or cardamom--I always think you can add more cardamom as it's my favorite spice.
A very interesting tw...
Enlightened Mind from ShanTea

Sep. 16th, 2011
This one blended very well...I'm used to drinking green kukicha, but this has the roasted kukicha which I think blends well with the Yerba Mate. I can't notice the sencha as much, and I don't know what the Gingko would be like. I will say, the aroma is somewhat earthy, like a root or rhizome. There's a significant w...
