The Big Sleep from SerendipiTea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 25th, 2014
The aroma of the dry leaves is pretty interesting, a blend of herbaceous and spice notes with a touch of sweet vanilla, nutty coconut, woody honeybush, and a hint of fruity tartness at the finish. It is quite unlike any blend I have sniffed before, I especially like how well the anise and coconut compliment each other...

Green Rooibos Key West from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 22nd, 2014
The aroma is a great blend of tropical fruit and apricot, citrus, a touch of floral, and a tiny hint of woodiness and bamboo. It certainly lives up to its name as of sniffing the dry leaves, which is always a good sign.
Tasting time! The first sip starts off a little dry and mild then all of a sudden a tropical frui...
Tropical Sunshine Herbal from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 15th, 2014
It blends the aroma of tropical fruit, citrus, spices, tart, and woodiness in a really interesting blend. The strongest notes were wood, citrus, and pepper, usually I would not think to put them together but the aroma really works.
And now for the real test, how does this unusual blend of ingredients taste? Interest...
Plum Blossom White from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 15th, 2014
The aroma of the dried (and rather fluffy) leaves is rich, a blend of heady jasmine, honey, and candy. Specifically it reminds me of these delicious plum gummies I used to get from my local Korean market back in high school. They were all the rage with my friends and me, they have a distinct fresh plum aroma along wit...

Birthday Cake from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 10th, 2014
The aroma of this cake is intensely sweet! There are strong notes of cake batter, vanilla, and a hint of cocoa. Under this explosion of cake and sweetness is a really strong note of woodiness from the Rooibos and Honeybush, it is almost like sitting at a table and having a slice of cake with ice cream and sitting next ...

get lost - No. 6 from Republic of Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 13th, 2014
this is certainly a rooibos tea because that distinct sharp woodiness of rooibos is the predominant aroma. There are also notes of herbaceous leaves and a touch of chocolate.
First up, I notice that oh so familiar woody and sweet rooibos with its signature dry mouth feel. It is not dry mouth like you get from someth...
Insomniac's Dream Herbal from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 8th, 2014
The aroma is quite minty and also quite lemony. It is very refreshing and wakes me up...hmmm. There are also mild straw and herbaceous notes at the finish.
Tasting this tea was a fun experience. First the sip is sweet, lemony, and warm and then BOOM! Cooling mint that flows through my mouth, esophagus, and into my s...
Sweet Orange White from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: Blend33 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 8th, 2014
The aroma is very citrus heavy, it is a little on the artificial side and sadly reminds me of the orange bathroom cleanser I used to use. Underneath the heavy swath of orange there are notes of lettuce and delicate floral.
Tasting the tea sadly confirmed my fear, this tea tastes like air freshener. Now don't get me ...
Taiwan Osmanthus Oolong from TeaVivre
Style: Osmanthus Tea – Region: Blend100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 4th, 2014
The aroma is extremely floral and sweet. If you have never sniffed an osmanthus flower, the aroma is like a mix of jasmine, honeysuckle, and orange blossoms, it is heady and heavenly, tiny flowers with a very strong aroma. Blend this flower's aroma with a sweet, almost milky, aroma of the oolong. There are also faint n...

Pumpkin Chai from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 25th, 2014
The aroma of this tea is very sweet and creamy with extremely strong spices. The cinnamon and cloves really overpower the rest of the aromas, but there is a faint hint of malt, pumpkin, and caramel under the potent spices.
The initial impact of the taste is a tingly and numb feeling from the spices, it is a little o...
Vanilla Mint from Golden Moon Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 22nd, 2014
The aroma is predominantly minty with a strong presence of sweet vanilla. Underneath these two dominating smells we have a gentle vegetal note, a subtle smokiness, and a tiny hint of malt.
Oh man, this tea has the best cooling effect, I love how mint teas warm you up and cool you down in the same sip. Combine that w...
Royal Wedding Commemorative Tea from Capital Teas
Style: Black and White Blend – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 20th, 2014
The aroma of this tea is a great blend of bright bergamot and heady roses with a creamy quality, this tea smells pretty. The aroma reminds me of summer blooming flowers and warm sunlight, I like the effect this tea's aroma has on my brain.
The taste of this tea is elegant, sweet and creamy with a vanilla quality tha...
Ladies' TLC from Raizana
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 18th, 2014
The aroma of the tea is pretty pungent, it is one of the biggest downsides to Dong Quai, I have had it in pill form before and could smell its distinct sharp root and earthy aroma through the bottle. It is not a bad smell, it is just very strong and pretty medicinal. There are also notes lemongrass, roses, and a touch ...

Gingerbread Smoke from 52 Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 24th, 2014
The aroma is more or less exactly what I expected from a tea named Gingerbread Smoke, it is quite richly smoky with warm spices and an especially strong kick of ginger. Everything about the aroma of this tea is warm, from the lingering memories of a fire to the spices, good for sniffing on a chilly evening.
The tast...
Baker Street Afternoon Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Russian Caravan – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 21st, 2014
Sniffing the dry leaves transport me to a Victorian gentleman's library, blending pipe smoke, polished wood, and a comfy leather chair. It is super evocative! There are also faint flora and muscatel notes, the aroma of the blend is quite delicious.
he taste is rich, smoky and muscatel with a tiny hint of cherry with...
Earl Grey Lavender from Revolution Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 2nd, 2014
The aroma is loaded with delicate lavender and sharp bergamot, with compliments of mellow muscatel and a hint of malt. This is not like most Earl's, it is more smooth and gentle.
The taste is at first incredibly smooth and fades to a crisp briskness. The base tea blend mixes muscatel and malt flavors with a very sli...
Chocolate Chai from Wegmans
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 1st, 2014
The aroma is a happy dance of sweet chocolate, rich spices, and nutty coconut. It reminds me a bit of xocolatl but with coconut and the earthiness of black tea. This tea smells delicious.
The taste is malty and chocolaty with a gentle kick of cinnamon. It moves on from the initial malt and chocolate to rich buttery...
Sleepytea: Passionflower + Valerian + Lavender + Orange from Raizana
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 24th, 2014
The aroma is a great blend of plant matter, mixing herbaceous notes, floral notes, and straw notes. The lavender and lemongrass is quite strong, a strange blend of smells, but not an unpleasant one.
The taste is really quite sweet and lemony, the taste reminds me of Lemonheads but without the really sour aspect of t...
S'mores (Smores) from Della Terra Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 24th, 2014
The aroma is crazy sweet, blending notes of marshmallow that fades into chocolate and lastly graham crackers and hint of malt. It certainly smells like a s'more! Once brewed the aroma becomes primarily chocolate with hints of the other aromas.
This tea was surprisingly not sweet, it had the qualities of dark chocola...
A Rabbit's Garden from Della Terra Teas
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 5th, 2014
The aroma is vegetal and peachy, mixing corn, vegetation, and peas. It certainly smells like a garden! The brewed leaves smell like spinach, peas and corn with a faint hint of peaches, it is a little odd.
The taste is surprisingly good, like really surprising for a tea made out of peas and corn. Imagine drinking ve...
No. 140 Jungle Monkey (Jungle Monkey Chai) from Tea Xotics (El Dorado Coffee & Tea)
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 3rd, 2014
The aroma is a sweet blend of coconut, chocolate, bananas and woody rooibos, all with an undertone of spices. The brewed tea is very sweet and creamy, reminding me of icecream with chai spices.
The taste is nothing short of a decadent dessert. A blend of bananas, chai spices, chocolate, and earthiness. It is a delic...
Hot Sweet Cinnamon from Art of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 12th, 2014
The aroma is loaded with cinnamon and spices with a hint of liqueur. The brewed tea smells a lot like Red Hot candies, tons of sweet cinnamon with a hint of orange and black tea.
The taste is, well kinda painful. Way too much cinnamon and cloves make it bitter, artificial, and mouth numbing. The taste of the base t...
Pure Endurance from Guayaki
Style: Flavored Yerba Maté – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 14th, 2014
The aroma is herbaceous, similar to sage but with a sharper quality, with a sweet, fruity aftertone. The aroma is a bit hard to describe, Yerba Mate has a very distinct aroma that is all its own and I have not found anything that it smells like to compare it to.
The taste starts quite sweet and fruity but it fades t...
Smaug Tea from 52 Teas
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 1st, 2014
The aroma of this tea is intense, so much so it made me sneeze. Lots of heat and spice with a hint of smoke. The brewed tea brings more vegetal aroma with the spice and the liquid without the leaves is smooth, vegetal and spicy with a hint of smokiness.
The taste is intense, starting off sweetly vegetal with the mi...
Bourbon Vanilla from Kusmi Tea
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 27th, 2013
The aroma of this tea is mild with notes of vanilla, oak, and fruit. The steeped leaves lose the aroma of vanilla (it is all in the liquid) with notes of fruit and malt.
The taste is fairly mild and subtly sweet and creamy. Not an outstanding tea but a pleasant dessert or morning sip.
