Jasmine Green Tea from Stassen Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 11th, 2018
I don't have a lot of experience with jasmine green tea.
First time drinking this was at a local Thai restaurant. It went very well with our Thai dinner. It was different enough to make me sit up and take notice. So when I ran into it at a local Asian market, I decided to give it a try as office coffee.
It comes...
Earl Grey Bravo from Adagio Teas
Style: Blue Flower Earl Grey – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon63 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 11th, 2018
Firstly, this tea is extremely citrusy and I try to blend it with some Ceylon(the base tea for this earl grey.) to make it less so. It tastes just like your average earl grey. And has a slight maltiness to it. It is very cheap though, which is always great. I only steeped this tea once and any other steeps seemed quite...

Earl Grey Tea from Tetley Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon40 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 17th, 2017
This will get the job done, but it's not much of a tea. I don't dislike it, but it's like drinking a big cup of Delaware. Thoroughly forgettable.

English Breakfast - Ceylon OP from Passenger Coffee
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Kandy, Sri Lanka82 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 10th, 2017
Another tea I ordered at Copper Cup in Lancaster, PA.
Rich and malty, full-bodied, but not overly tannic, with just the right amount of body and fruit. Aroma of malt and dried fruit. I find Kandy tends to produce teas that have a classic British character, and this tea is no exception...it tended a little more tow...
Ceylon Kenilworth from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Kandy, Sri Lanka84 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 1st, 2017
A rich,warming, complex black tea. I liked this a lot, although there are other black teas from Murchie's that I like more, like the Scottish Breakfast or Yunnan, in a similar or lower price range.
I have now tried at least five Ceylon teas from Kenilworth estate, all from different companies. This one tasted most ...
Cheericup Ceylon from Mark T. Wendell
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon95 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 20th, 2017
Got a sample of this online. It's a very dark brown, with some gold highlights. Brews up a clear dark red. I'm not so good at describing aroma and flavor, so I'll just say it smells and tastes like really good tea.
It's very smooth, just a hint of sweetness with no bitterness or astringency. It doesn't seem to have ...
Ceylon Black Tea (Orange Pekoe) High Grown from Frontier
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 26th, 2017
I found this tea in the bulk section of a health food store. I've never tried Frontier tea, mostly because I don't trust bulk jars. The jar lids were tight and the teas smelled fresh, though, so I bought an ounce each of several to try. Based on this first sample, I'll likely be buying more.
The dry tea smells stron...
Ceylon Orange Pekoe from Het Gouden Randje
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon66 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 25th, 2017
I asked the owner of Het Gouden Randje to recommend me a sweet black tea. Once it was cleared up that I wasn't interested in flavoured teas, I was offered this one, and I was charmed with the smell.
It smells warm and sweet with a hint of honey. If you don't use too much leaf, it doesn't easily get bitter even if yo...
Blissful Harmony from teakruthi
Style: Black and White Blend – Region: Matara, Sri Lanka90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 19th, 2017
Has an aroma of a mellow note of roasted cashewnut. The liquor is of dark copper color and tastes flowery and light. This is a common favorite in our collection and one of my 'go-tos'.

Gunpowder from Tanay
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 8th, 2017
I always like to have a cheap gunpowder tea which I can drink as much as I like without worries. I buy 250 g or 500 g boxes from a Turkish shop, and they are incredibly cheap (this 250 g box was probably €2.25 or something). However, the brands change now and then.
This one was also incredibly cheap, but I don't l...
Ruhuna Orange Pekoe from Simon Lévelt
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 7th, 2017
The dry tea leaves smell like dried plums. The tea tastes very sweet and maybe kind of spicy. If you don't use too much leaf it doesn't easily get bitter either. It's relatively cheap for a loose-leaf tea, as well. It's pretty nice as an everyday black tea, but the way it smells is the best thing about it.

St. James Estate Uva BOP from Chado Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Uva, Sri Lanka80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 6th, 2017
Nice honey hued liquor. Smooth taste. Classic Ceylon. I think milk or sugar could be added without over powering this tea. Ceylon fans should give it a try.

Ceylon Kenilworth from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon82 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 1st, 2017
Thank you to mighty leaf for the sample! This tea is dark, strong, smoky, and complex. It's like one of those software packages that is really intimidating and hard to learn, but powerful once you get comfortable with it. I found it grew on me and I liked it more each time I drank it.
Wiry leaf smells punch-you-i...
Afternoon Ritual from teakruthi
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 1st, 2017
This is a solid tea. The flavor is lightly muscatel, and it's easy to brew. I used 195 F, as suggested on the package, and that seems best -- but even hotter water worked fine. I like the idea of using this for a somewhat lower caffeine buzz than a morning tea.

Green Valley from teakruthi
Style: Green Tea – Region: Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka84 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 18th, 2017
This a solid quality green tea that resteeps well several times. The leaves start off coiled and they expand each time, so not a lot of tea is needed for a tasty cup. Be sure not to over brew it for the best flavor.

Colonial Mornings from teakruthi
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matale, Sri Lanka (Dimbula)77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 9th, 2017
I really liked this tea -- when it was prepared just right and very fresh. It has a lovely, subtle aroma and flavor with delightful hints of muscatel, making it a stand out pure tea. However, it was easier to oversteep than others by this brand and the intensity of the first cups magic lessened a bit with second and th...

Island Heritage from teakruthi
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matale, Sri Lanka (Dimbula)80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 29th, 2017
The more I drink this tea, the more I enjoy it. Initially I felt it wasn't as distinctive as the other teas from this brand, but now I feel like it's simply a quite well-rounded tea. There's a subtle muscatel flavor that's nice. I feel like tea goes particularly well with food. Also, it resteeps very well.

Decaf Breakfast from Tea Forte
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon35 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Mar. 23rd, 2017
For me, afternoon caffeine inevitably means insomnia, so I've spent some effort trying to find a decent decaf. I've found a few decaf green teas and Earl Greys that are drinkable, but I've yet to find an unflavored black tea that's worth the trouble. Despite being the most expensive decaf I've tried, Tea Forté's Decaf...

Ceylon Gold from teakruthi
Style: White Tea – Region: Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka88 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 21st, 2017
This is another really lovely white tea from teakruthi. I've often found it difficult to find a white tea I really enjoy, but both of theirs are quite pleasant and smooth. This one has a rich flavor without bitterness and it resteeps well, which helps to mitigate the relatively high price compared to their other teas.I...

Ceylon Oolong from teakruthi
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Matara, Sri Lanka92 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 15th, 2017
I really enjoy this tea. It's one of my favorites from teakruthi so far. The flavor is pleasant in a soothing yet slightly buttery way. Eating food seems to bring out additional flavors not in either the food or tea alone, so this one is great on its own or with meals. I didn't add any sugar or milk to it. The curled l...

Love this tea, just the right amount of bergamot flavor with a touch of vanilla.

Mar. 8th, 2017
I am normally not a huge fan of tippy, lighter-colored white teas like this, but I thought this was pretty exceptional and was one of my favorite lighter white teas that I've ever tried. It isn't exactly a silver needle, but I compared it as one, it would be the second-favorite one I've ever tried.

Wild Monsoon from teakruthi
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matara, Sri Lanka77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 7th, 2017
This tea has a pleasant slightly malty flavor. It's a solid black tea best for when an energy jolt is needed, yet it's also possible to relax and enjoy it (along with, perhaps, some other relaxing activity -- such as reading). As always with this brand, the quality of the tea leaf appears high.

Mar. 7th, 2017
I really like this tea. I found that it varies noticeably depending on how much of each tea (white or black) is used to make a cup. I actually like it when one of the two dominates but the minority tea adds complexity to the majority one. Both are high quality, so whether you prefer white or black tea this one is worth...
