Picture of Maracuja Flavored Tea

Maracuja Flavored Tea from Upton Tea Imports

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 19th, 2013

The aroma is very sweet and fruity, specifically exotic fruits. The citrus tones make me think of dragonfruit. Once brewed the leaves become malty and the sweetness becomes more of a passion fruit aroma. There is also a hint of peach.

The taste is not as sweet as I was expecting from the aroma and I found it a bit ...

Cocomint Cream from DAVIDsTEA

60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 10th, 2013

The aromas are mint, apple, and coconut, all three are very strong and fairly sweet. I do not find they blend well together. When brewed the aromas of those three are still very prominent with a slight hint of citrus.

The taste is odd, it is not bad but certainly not for me, I do not find that mint, coconut, and ap...

Bolder Breakfast from The Tea Spot

Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend

80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 5th, 2013

The aroma is very rich, rich and chocolaty with notes of malt and earthiness. It reminds me of tea mixed with milk chocolate. Once brewed there is more of a 'tea' aroma than chocolate. The liquid is richy earthy and ties the pu erh in nicely with the black tea and chocolate.

The taste is sweet and very robust. The ...

Dec. 3rd, 2013

The aroma of this tea is a fantastic blend of the different ingredients in this tea, no one aroma is dominant and they are well balanced. It is nothing short of exotic. The brewed tea is equally delicious blending floral, citrus, saffron, and frankincense.

The taste is delicious mixing honey and fruity sweetness wi...

Nov. 20th, 2013

The aroma of this tea is nothing short of yummy! Bringing coconut, chocolate, and vanilla notes for a tea that smells like a German Chocolate cupcake. The brewed leaves are richer and the chocolate is more prominent. In the liquid is so similar to a cupcake that it could have fooled me!

The taste is very rich and d...

Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend

83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 11th, 2013

The aroma is a great blend of papaya, mint, chamomile and sweetness. A great blend of herbs. Once the tea is brewed the leaves take on more of a lemongrass aroma with savory herb notes. The liquid also smells very savory and reminds me of pickle spices.

The taste is very sweet, papaya and lemony, reminds me of lemo...

The aroma of this haunted tea is sweet and full of blueberries and chocolate, no ghosts though but that may be a good thing. The steeped tea is more malt and chocolate, less blueberry. The liquid is much the same but as it cools the chocolate becomes more prominent.

The taste is great! A good blend of black teas wit...

Pumpkin Spice Black Tea from Republic of Tea

77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 30th, 2013

The aroma is sweet and spicy, lots of spice! The most prevalent spice is clove. Once the tea is brewed the spices balance out and is perfect for a chilly day. A very autumnal aroma indeed.

The taste is great, a balance of sweetness and spiciness. It tastes just like pumpkin pie spice (no pumpkin of course) and is p...

Oct. 28th, 2013

The aroma is very sweet, lots of almond and cherry goodness, sadly no aroma of tea sneaks through. Once steeped you can smell a bit of a leafy green tea aroma along with the now mellowed out cherry and almond.

The taste is mellow and smooth. Not very sweet (unlike the aroma) and a nice blend of almond and cherry. It...

Oct. 21st, 2013

I am not so much stressed today, but I am unwell and can do with some relaxation. The aroma is sweet and delicate, minty, and mildly lavender. There are also notes of grass and lemon balm. The aroma is very refreshing, my sinuses approve. Once the bag has been steeped the mint is calmer and there is a hint of vanilla....

Oct. 19th, 2013

This tea smells really good, and when you are dealing with a medicinal tea that is always a good sign. So many of the Chinese medicinal teas I drink smell and taste really nasty. The aroma is a sweet, tropical, earthy, and clean. Once brewed it takes on a stronger rooibos aroma and is fairly creamy.

Oct. 18th, 2013

This tea smells exactly like Lime chiffon, I mean exactly. Blindfold me, put me in front of this tea and most likely I would ask for a fork and try to eat the leaves. Of course when I steep this tea the whole room ends up smelling like dessert.

The taste is exactly what it says on the tin, it tastes just like Lime C...

Oct. 12th, 2013

This tea smells like leaves, no herb or aroma sticks out as being prominent, it is just dried leaves. It smells like nature! Sadly this means it does not smell like figs or honey which is disappointing. After it is steeped the aroma of honey is present along with herbaceous notes.

The taste is odd, a bit tingly and ...

Sep. 30th, 2013

The aroma of this tea is incredibly sweet and tropical, almost to the point of being too intense. The fruits are very prominent, but sadly none of the other aromas shine through.

The taste is a letdown, all that sweet build up in the aroma and steeping but the taste is herbal and tart. Very little taste of fruit at...

Sep. 9th, 2013

The aroma is heady, sweet, and slightly green. Once brewed the tea takes on a more citrus quality and brings out more the floral.

The taste is sublime. The subtle sweetness blends perfectly with the tropical pineapple and sweet peaches. Perfect for a summer day!

This tea is nutty goodness! The aroma is nutty, malty, and just slightly burnt. Luckily the burnt aroma fades with brewing and the aroma becomes much richer.

The taste is delicious, very evocative of the cold night curled up in front of a fire munching on chestnuts. Subtle sweetness mixed with roasted nuttiness for...

Aug. 27th, 2013

The first thing that strikes you with this tea is how intense the aroma is. Sadly it is mostly lemongrass and the Rooibos that you smell and none of the spices or other ingredients. Luckily after you brew it the other ingredients start to show up and the rest mellows out.

The flavor is weird, the first cup is extrem...

When you open up a bag of loose tea and see sprinkles hanging out with the leaves you cannot help but smile. I got a sample of this from Adagio when I ordered a bunch of tea for my birthday...so nice when a company pays attention to these things!

The aroma is sweet, like ginger, mint, and just a hint of the lemongrass. I do not smell any fruit or ginseng. I could sniff this tea for hours, it smells very refreshing!

The taste is subtly sweet with an undertone of fruit. There is no one flavor that sticks out. It tastes green and herbal, as to be expected, but ...

I have no complaints about the aroma, it smells like a mix of oranges and lemons, which is pleasant, especially first thing in the morning when you need an extra zing.

Sadly the flavor left a lot to be desired, it tasted too artificial. Like drinking a particularly weak tea that accidentally had some perfume dumped...

The aroma is pleasant and mild with a hint of Bergamot.

The flavor was slightly bitter and citrusy from the Bergamot and Ceylon, but other than that there is no real flavor. I was not overwhelmed with the flavor and a little disappointed.

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...

Everything about this tea is fair, I was not overwhelmed by the aroma or the taste. Sadly it was all bland. The aroma was malty and there was a slightly malty taste. I added a bunch of cream and it brought out some of the richer maltiness of the tea.

This is a very complex and unusual tea, luckily not in a bad way. Introduced to me as having 'an acquired taste' I can certainly agree.

The aroma is a great mix of spicy ginger and earthy turmeric that just floods your olfactory glands with a punch of spice. It is intense!

The flavor of this bright yellow tea is...

My perpetual quest for the perfect Blueberry tea might have finally ended. The first thing I noticed about this tea when I opened the large tin at Wegmans were the beautiful leaves. Whole leaves and buds mixed with large dried blueberries and pretty cornflower petals. I am not sure what kind of teas were used in this b...
