DeTox from Yogi Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend44 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 25th, 2023
To think, I was on a run of decent to good scores for teas from this brand...no more. DeTox has no real personality because it seems to be an "everything but the kitchen sink" concoction. The dry-bag aroma is interesting: peppery, grassy, a little minty or fruity, depending on the way the vapors waft across the pass...

Masala Chai Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 25th, 2023
I do like that fact that real masala chai blends are now available in the USA, since it is a style that I enjoy, but this is not a favorite. The gingerbread aroma is nice, but there is too much hot pepper in this for my palate, and not enough cardomom and cinnamon. You might like it if you enjoy lots of black pepper i...

Passion Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 12th, 2023
Here's the most-rated Tazo product on RateTea, but haven't yet rated here for unknown reasons. So...this is that, since I snagged some at a hotel.
The blend brews up a dense magenta hue quite quickly, presumably from the added elderberry extract ("for color" on the ingredients label). Dry-bag aroma is generically ...
Government Street Blend Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Green and Black Tea Blend – Region: Blend89 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 25th, 2023
Here's yet another in a parade of marginally different green/black blends offered by Murchie's, all of which have pleased my nasal passages and taste buds nicely on the way inside. GSB, for short, is the third Murchie's green/black product I've found with both jasmine and bergamot, this one the most bergamot-weighted,...

Maui Mango from Tiesta Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 12th, 2023
With this, I will have reviewed a tea named Mango Maui (Hawaiian Islands Tea Company) and Maui Mango (Tiesta). They're radically different, however. The former is a very good, flavored black tea, while this one is mostly dried fruit by volume (pineapple, orange slices, mango, and strawberry) with flowers sprinkled in...

River Shannon Breakfast Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 22nd, 2023
Nice aroma, with a mild earthy scent. The liquor (5 min steep) is a dark brown. Good flavor, easy to sip all day long. Nice blend.

Organic Lemon Ginger Green Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 22nd, 2023
Now, ginger isn't my favorite tea flavor, but having never tried explicitly ginger-flavored green tea yet, I figured this would be worthwhile, especially on sale. I liked it more than I thought I would.
Dry-bag aroma was sharp, crisp, a distinctly peppery ginger that reminded me of a really good "ginger beer" soda....
Toasted Coconut Almond Bark Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 18th, 2023
For a few years, Tazo and Bigelow, in particular, have gone on a bender of producing explicitly dessert-flavored blends, which doesn't bother me, even as it might annoy some tea purists. Hey, who doesn't like some yummy sweet treats after a good dinner? However, Bigelow may have overplayed its hand here and missed th...

Royal English Breakfast from Harney and Sons
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 1st, 2023
As with their "Green Tea with Coconut & Ginger", I got this at a last-day estate sale for a quarter (proportionate fraction of a bulk pantry buy). Not per bag, but for the entire tin! That's the best value I've had for a good tea. However, you probably can't match that. So how costly is it, for real? A peek at the...

Apricot Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend81 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 23rd, 2022
Murchie's has a large repertoire of teas; most last, some don't. This one has been around since at least the mid 2000s, when we started ordering from them, so it must have built a following. I finally decided to order it at the behest of my wife, who likes all things apricot. It doesn't disappoint.
The aroma and...
Vanilla Tea from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 16th, 2022
The aroma of this is quite nice, and the vanilla flavor is quite mild - a little too mild, imo. This makes for a pleasant, smooth cuppa, but I was hoping for a little more intensity. The price is a little on the high side. I will drink this up, but I probably won't order it again. P.S. this tea goes surprisingly we...

Organic English Breakfast Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 13th, 2022
This is a perfectly nice, reasonably priced English breakfast tea, offered at a good price too. The Assam and Ceylon teas blend together well, and create a mellow flavor with a dash of butterscotch. I had this with plant milk; English breakfast teas are meant to be served with a little milk.

Earl Grey Filterbags from Tazo Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend61 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 11th, 2022
Another "conference tea" here...I had a couple bags there, and brought another home to steep in boiling well water. Water quality at the meeting was good, so my impressions were consistent in both places.
The best part of this tea was its dry-bag smell: potent, high-quality bergamot, but still not too much to ove...
Holiday Spice from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 1st, 2022
This blend of rooibos, orange peels, hibiscus, and cloves (the visually obvious ingredients...I think there's some cinnamon and ginger in this too) wasted no time rocketing to the top of my flavored-rooibos list, and very nearly the top of all herbals for me. The website says the tea is modeled after pomander oranges,...

Warrior's Brew from Native American Tea Company
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 24th, 2022
This is quite a tasty and well-conceived blend, novel yet nice in both aroma and flavor, holding its own in those departments with any herbal/black bagged combination out there. However, I wish it were stronger, more befitting its name.
The rectangular, stringless tea bags are small, about half the volume of Celest...
Earl's Gold from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend92 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 18th, 2022
This is the second loose-leaf Earl Grey I've had from Murchie's, and an outstanding example of the type, especially for someone like me who likes a bold, assertive tea. It is made from Assam, Keemun and Yunnan, and you bet the Assam asserts itself boldly in all phases of taste and aroma. Upon opening the bag, the dry...

Earl Grey Crème from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Earl Grey Cream – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 16th, 2022
Here's another in Celestial's fairly recent run of new black-tea blends. For a mass-marketed brand commonly available in retail stores, this rendition holds its own, but better quality can be had.
The dry aroma (especially when opening the sack or pouch in which the bags are packaged) may be the best part. This is...
Platinum Jubilee Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend71 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 13th, 2022
While still good, this was the least desirable of the Murchie's "Jubilee" line I've tried so far. Blended this year (2022) in honor of the late Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, it contains a mix of Darjeeling, Assam, Yunnan and Keemun. Given the strong history this company has with teas of those origins individual...

Earl Grey Choice from Zhi Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend35 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Nov. 6th, 2022
It smells ok because of the lavender, however for me it kind of reminds me of soap which I understand there can be cultural differences with this. Not everyone would associate that with soap. The thing that ruins this tea though is the taste. It’s not that interesting and it’s actually quite bitter. It’s just not...

Oct. 19th, 2022
Aroma is medium, reminds me of a Keemun. Liquor steeps (5 minutes) to a deep brown.Good taste with a slight tangy after taste with some floral hints. I would buy this tea again.

One-litre pot at home, made from a mixture of broad white tea leaves and several types of spicy flavouring, incl. that of orange and vanilla, and plainly visibly, a few other ingredients not mentioned in the description on the tea company’s website, like pieces of orange peel and cornflower blossom.
