Decaf Vanilla Nut Creme Black Tea from Stash Tea

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 6th, 2013

When I first tried this tea I loved it, but after I've been drinking it for a while, I now think it has a really weak base tea. I still like the flavoring. It has a nice sweet, creamy flavor. I love nut-flavored teas. I think it has a similar appeal to a caramel latte. I added cream and sugar.

Masala Chai Black Tea from Arbor Teas

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend

60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 6th, 2013

This chai has a weak tea flavor, even after brewing it for a long time. The dominant flavor is of ginger, and it's a little too much for me. Overall, it's okay. I added cream and sugar.

Jan. 4th, 2013

I think this tea is too heavily spiced, and doesn't have a strong enough tea flavor in comparison. Also, there's something off about the blend of spices, but I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the red pepper. I added cream and sugar.

This tea has a rich, smoky aroma. The flavor is crisp. I really like it. It's a little bitter if brewed too long. I added cream and sugar.

Nov. 19th, 2012

This tea has a strong, almost overwhelmingly fruity aroma. The flavor caught me by surprise because it's overwhelmed by ginger. If you love ginger, you might like this tea. I think it's mis-labelled. It says "with a hint of spice" on the package.

This tea smells like chamomile, which I don't particularly like. The flavor is kind of bland. It doesn't have any strong dominant flavor. I don't like it much. I added cream and sugar.

I like this tea. I don't normally like rooibos, but I guess it blends well with vanilla. I added cream and sugar.

This doesn't taste much like Earl Grey. I think the bitterness of the tea dominates the flavor. I don't like it much. I added cream and sugar.

I didn't like this tea much. It doesn't have much of an aroma at all, and the flavor isn't very strong. I added cream and sugar.

I don't think I like lavender tea very much in general. I've never tried normal lavender tea. I don't like this tea very much, but it's okay. It tastes kind of like herbal tea. I added cream and sugar.

This tea is a little bitter, but okay. I don't think it's worth the price. I added cream and sugar.

Aug. 20th, 2012

This tea smells kind of like green tea, which I don't like. The flavor is kind of bland, but okay. I would never buy it because I can find cheaper versions of basic decaf black tea that taste better. I added cream and sugar.

Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend

43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 19th, 2012

This doesn't taste like double Earl Grey, in fact I can barely taste the bergamot at all. But even as a plain black tea, I don't like it much because it's a bit too bitter, and it has a very bitter aftertaste. It strengthens very quickly. I usually like tea strong, and I found that 2 minutes was a good brewing time. I ...

Aug. 18th, 2012

I really liked this tea when I first tried it, but I got tired of it after a while. I didn't really know what I thought of cardamom before trying it, but now I think I like cardamom. I usually like chai tea, so it's not surprising. The flavor blends nicely with the tea. I brewed it too weak the first time - it takes ab...

Caramel Latte from Shanti Tea

83 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 17th, 2012

This tea smells like heaven on a bun, minus the bun (as my friend would say). It has a rich, smoky, roasty, sweet caramel-flavored aroma, which I, as a coffee and sweets lover, am drawn to. So I was a bit disappointed by the taste, but it was still very good. I love caramel-flavored teas, but I can't taste the caramel ...

Citrus Punch from Shanti Tea

43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 12th, 2012

This tea tastes kind of weird, but maybe that's because I added cream and sugar. I can't get it to brew strong enough for my taste, and I think the oolong is overpowered by the orange flavor. I thought it smelled pretty good when the leaves were brewing, though. It smelled kind of like Apple Jacks.

Aug. 12th, 2012

This tea is actually really good. It's not was I was expecting, because it has a rooibos base, and I don't like rooibos, but the berry flavor overpowers it. It smells kind of like candy. I added cream and sugar, and it actually blends really well with the cream, which also surprised me.

This tea has a nice aroma. It tastes kind of like chai rooibos. I like the blend of spices, but don't like the dominant flavor of rooibos. I'm a fan of chai, but I don't like rooibos in general. I added cream and sugar.

I can't really taste the tea, but it has a nice vanilla flavor, and I like the combination of vanilla with mint. It's a little too minty for me. I added cream and sugar.
