Maple Tea from Metropolitan Tea Company
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 27th, 2016
I first tried some of this tea back in 2006 after seeing it in some tourist shops in Victoria, BC. [This review is posted ten years later after getting some more, also in Victoria.] The stuff is expensive; after all, retail markups are pretty steep for anything marketed as characteristically Canadian in such places. ...

Organic Mango & Chile Black Tea from Trader Joe's
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 9th, 2016
This tea is unique and delicious when you're in the mood for something robust and fruity with a spicy kick. The tea pieces are pretty small (but not dust), so it infuses quickly. I steeped this for several minutes and it didn't turn bitter at all, which is excellent.
I really like this tea.
Earl Grey - Award Winning from Art of Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 11th, 2016
I'm a lifelong drinker of black tea and always use loose leaf tea. Since I drink tea at least 8 times a day, I felt I should make the switch to organic teas. My favorite Earl Grey was not organic, and no local stores carrying organic black teas had any loose leaf teas. So I went online and have been sampling. In side-b...

Lemon and Lime Black Tea from Basilur
Style: Lemon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 10th, 2016
Do you like smooth, non-bitter, black tea? Do you like 7Up? Drop a tablespoon of 7Up (or Diet 7Up if you prefer your tea unsweetened), into a cup of smooth black tea, and you will do a reasonable approximation of this drink.
Basilur Lemon and Lime is not as strong as I'd like in flavor or aroma, but is an easygo...
Peach from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 7th, 2016
This is a fantastic iced tea that kept good flavor on rebrewing - when filling my pitcher I brew a quart with 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon, then use the same leaves on a second quart. It smells pleasantly peachy and not artificial at all, and it tastes sweet and a little bitter and astringent. A 3 oz bag has produced many...

Ceylon (Ceylon Orange Pekoe) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 30th, 2016
I have no problem with Ahmad teas and the Ceylon is about as basic a full-bodied black tea as you can get. Better hot but OK iced as you can add juices, fruits or flavorings as you wish. Inexpensive.
Smooth, easy to drink and as Alex says - a "classic" cuppa tea.
Love Story from Basilur
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 8th, 2016
I'm a dude. This tea is marketed to the ladies in a blatant, pandering, almost cartoonishly patronizing way with its pinkish packaging, "book of tea" self-characterization, cursive script, and use of phrases like, "mystify your senses," "reminisce romantic, unforgettable memories", and "fantasize many more years of lo...

New Vithanakande from Harney and Sons
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Ratnapura, Sri Lanka77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 6th, 2016
I liked this tea and found it very interesting, it wasn't a favorite at first but it made me write and think a lot, and I found it grew on me. I especially liked this tea's ability to evoke interesting imagery and memories from my childhood with its aromas. Many of the Ceylon teas I've tried over the years have been s...

Kenilworth Ceylon from Harney and Sons
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 15th, 2016
A dark and rich tea with smoky notes that were unusual for a Ceylon.
I've tried other Ceylon teas from Kenilworth, and this is not only unlike any other tea from this estate or garden, but unlike any other black teas I'm tried from Sri Lanka. I found it interesting how different this was from other Kenilworth teas,...
Uva Highlands from Harney and Sons
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Uva, Sri Lanka73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 14th, 2016
A potent, robust tea with a distinct wintergreen aroma that comes out more some times than others. A bit sensitive to brewing conditions, and not for the faint-hearted, but good if you want something strong, especially if you drink tea with milk. I served this to a friend who likes strong Irish Breakfast tea, and she...

For me the best since a long time, when it's retired it means they are not produced anymore?

Ceylon Tea Bags from Ahmad Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 8th, 2015
I haven't tried the loose leaf tea from Ahmad, but I did have the opportunity to try this tea as part of an assortment pack I purchased at Marshall's. You may also be able to find it at TJ Maxx or Homegoods.
It is a good Ceylon bagged offering that brews a nice golden color with good flavor without being too bitter....
Ceylon Black Tea (Orange Pekoe) High Grown from Frontier
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 17th, 2015
My favorite tea from Frontier yet, I thought this a top-quality black tea and one of the better Ceylons I've sampled from any company.
The dry leaf is quite beautiful, and has a mild but pleasant aroma of malt and spice that is lighter and cooler than most malty teas.
Upon brewing, the aroma becomes a bit dusty, ...
Idulgashinna Estate Organic Green OP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Tea – Region: Uva, Sri Lanka83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 16th, 2015
This tea was multifaceted and intriguing. I also found it resembled aged sheng Pu-erh in certain ways.
Interesting wiry leaf, some pieces broken but most not. The smell of the dry leaf is mild but very pleasant and, in spite of its faintness, quite complex, resembling high-quality Chinese green teas a bit, but als...
Kenilworth Estate OP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Kandy, Sri Lanka87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 17th, 2015
Classic morning pot of tea if you like your tea strong enough to stand up to milk, yet not bitter or tannic. I used to fuss with making my own 'English breakfast blend' in search of the perfect combination of boldness and color -- hate weak, pale-colored tea in the morning -- but without adding bitterness or a smoky or...

Earl Grey Bravo from Adagio Teas

Oct. 16th, 2015
I love Earl Grey tea, this included. Not overpowering, great aroma, and sweet without been sickly. Add some milk and sugar to enjoy the sweetness even more.

Ceylon Sonata from Adagio Teas

Very fruity. Fairly bitter. Pretty generic overall, a lot like many black teas I've tried.

Oct. 5th, 2015
I've only had this as iced tea with sugar, not hot.
It took me a while to figure out how to prepare this to my taste. It was far too bitter when steeped cold overnight, and also when steeped in boiling water for 5 minutes (and then cooled). I found that steeping it in boiling water for around 4 minutes is best. To t...
Harrods English Afternoon Tea from Harrods
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 16th, 2015
In London, and visited Harrods so had to buy something. The English Afternoon tea is nice and comes in a cute Harrods tea can. A bit pricey due to strong GBPound versus Canadian$. A mild aroma and light taste, its an ok brew to serve for high tea with scones.

Nilagama Single Estate from Dilmah
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 26th, 2015
This was my first venture into "low elevation" Ceylon tea.
Produces a deep ruby liquor, with a very rounded and balanced flavor with light but noticeable "cocoa" in the aroma and taste. Not even remotely bitter. Balanced is a good word for this strong (caffeine-wise) single estate black tea.
Over steeping (4 ...
Earl Grey Bravo from Adagio Teas
Style: Blue Flower Earl Grey – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 9th, 2015
This has been my go-to tea for the last couple of weeks. When it runs out, I'll probably try other types of Earl Grey, though maybe I'll buy this again someday. It's good, though basic.
It's a fairly mild tea with a very mild bergamot flavor. Only a little bitterness. Pretty astringent. You can only smell and taste ...
Chocolate Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon97 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 4th, 2015
I really, really like this one. It's a great chai that works the chocolate flavoring just right. The cardamom is the most noticeable spice for the first couple cups, with the cinnamon showing up later. In both cases they were very smooth, not overwhelming or out of place.
This also works well whether you drink it pl...
Ginger Peach tea from Metropolitan Tea Company
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 26th, 2015
If you like tea with a taste of fruit this is your cup. The taste of ginger is sweeten by the peach flavor, taking away the harsh taste of ginger without over powering the brew. As for the aftertaste it doesn't linger long, but it leaves a warm feeling on the taste buds. Ginger is great for settling the stomach and thi...

Ginger Peach from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 24th, 2015
The peach and ginger flavors in this tea are muted, but very smooth. I really like this one! A part of me wishes that the fruit and spice were stronger, but mostly I think this makes an excellent morning tea. The black tea is robust without being overpowering or bitter, and it holds up to multiple infusions well. Great...
