Classic Blend Tea from Barry's Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 19th, 2011
This tea is a specialty item in our grocery store and highly over priced because they import it from Ireland (or so they claim.) It is a good, average tea but not worth the price they want.

White Eagle Long Life Green Tea from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Green Tea – Region: Hunan, China91 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 14th, 2011
Another delightful, fascinating, and unusual tea from Imperial Tea Garden. The dry leaf is exclusively tips, slightly twisted, and shows white downy hairs. Its aroma is airy and light, but it smells a bit like tobacco, and has toasty, grassy tones too, with a hint of camphor.
The description of this tea confused m...
Oolong Tea from Wei-Chuan
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: China100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 13th, 2011
Great tea for the bagged variety style,I usually drink high quality loose leaf at $15-25 per ounce, but Wei-Chuan is my next choice for an excellent full bodied smooth as silk tea. Also the price cannot be beat!! Thank you and keep up the great quality. Larry Michaels of the great lakes region, Ohio.

English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 11th, 2011
A stronger, fuller flavour than cheaper brands of breakfast tea. I struggle to describe the aroma, but anyone familiar with English style tea will recognise and appreciate it. It also has a familiar taste of bitterness that will go down nicely with any tea lover.
This one deserves a proper tasting at any time of day, ...
PG Tips Pyramid bags from PG Tips
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 10th, 2011
Your standard, full flavored, "meaty" morning tea. A fine value at $.10/bag, and a cut above the bagged saw dust in your office break room.

Royal Highland Green Tea from Royal Tea of Kenya
Style: Green Tea – Region: Kenya60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 8th, 2011
The dry leaf is thin and wiry, golden in color, and without much aroma.
Upon brewing, the cup produces a dark cup with a wonderful, rich aroma, like one of the darker, richer Chinese pan-fired green teas, but with a vegetal quality usually only found in Darjeeling green and oolongs. The aroma is grassy and fruity, ...
Kenya Silverback White from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Silver Needle – Region: Kenya83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 7th, 2011
Leaf looks like a silver needle white tea with leaves on the smallish side, but with a much deeper golden yellow color.
Brewed, the aroma is very unlike other silver needle teas, and much stronger. Aroma is predominately toasty, nutty and woody, strongly reminiscent of hojicha, especially roasted kukicha, with a to...
Moon Swirl White Tip from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Green Tea – Region: Hunan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 5th, 2011
A fascinating green tea completely unlike anything I've ever sampled before, although admittedly, it's my first tea from Hunan province so that may explain the novelty for me. The tightly-rolled tea looks almost oolong-like, rather unlike Bi-luo chun or gunpowder green tea, but upon brewing, it unfurls to look more li...

Monkey-Picked Ti Kuan Yin from Foojoy
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Anxi, Fujian, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 5th, 2011
This oolong has a noticeable roasted quality but still a lot of greener character. It comes across as both toasty and fresh, and is very complex.
The cup brews a dark color, and the leaves turn a dark olive-brown upon steeping. The aroma is both woody and herbaceous, and has tones of nut, cocoa, and spice (especia...
Monks Reserve-Castelton Estate from Fresh Darjeeling Tea
Style: Darjeeling Oolong – Region: Darjeeling, India67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 3rd, 2011
I don't know how to describe this tea. It tastes a little bit fruity, kind of peach-like maybe. It has a sort of smoky aroma. I don't think it's quite my cup of tea. It's a little too weird.

Decaffeinated Black Tea from Harris Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 3rd, 2011
This tea is really good. It has an awesome malty flavor that really hits the spot. I added cream and sugar. I'm impressed because it was the cheapest brand of tea bags at the store. Amazing value.
Update: I used to like this tea a lot, but my tastes have changed since then and now I just think it's pretty good, but...
Special Pouchong from Ten Ren Tea
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Dec. 2nd, 2011
This tea isn't as bad as I thought it would be, from the way the leaf smelled. It's mild, and not too vegetable-like. I added cream and sugar.

Royal Tajiri Tea from Royal Tea of Kenya
Style: Black Tea – Region: Kenya100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 2nd, 2011
Exquisite! I think I've found a new favorite black tea.
The dry leaf is rather plain and uninteresting looking, brown, with a dusty appearance. Yet it is wonderfully aromatic, foretelling the wonderful brewing experience that followed. I knew that I had found something exceptional the moment I first smelled the d...
Decaffeinated Green Tea (48 ct.) from Bromley Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 2nd, 2011
When I retired and left the east coast I bought boxes (6) of the decaf green tea and I'm now out and unable to find it in California - I have found it online and I plan to order in the near future - I am down to one tea bag. I do appreciate this tea it's quite delicious not bitter but nice and smooth.
Dae-Jak Korean Green Tea from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Tea – Region: South Korea73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 1st, 2011
This is the first Korean-grown tea I've ever sampled, and I liked it a lot. It is a broken-leaf tea with a rather uninteresting-looking dry leaf that becomes pleasantly delicate-looking after it is brewed.
I found this tea hard to describe. It brews a clear greenish cup with small flecks of tea leaf. The aroma is...
Ceylon Tea OPA from Ahmad Tea

This tea is mostly good, but it has a slight vegetal flavor and aroma that I don't like so much. I added cream and sugar.

Nov. 30th, 2011
This tea is yet another amazing find for me of a tea offering truly exceptional value. After being seriously impressed with Ahmad Tea's Kalami Assam, I decided to check out this tea, an even larger-leaf black tea that was only very slightly higher in price.
The dry leaf is huge, among the largest I have seen of any...
Chinese Breakfast™ - Yunnan Black Tea from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 28th, 2011
A classic Yunnan black tea, unusually smooth for a tea bag. Aroma is complex, with hints of cocoa, wood, and fruit. Peppery finish, characteristic of Yunnan teas.
I recommend a longer steeping time (5+ min). This tea is not as aromatic as a loose-leaf Yunnan, and its flavor is mild so you can steep it for a long ...
Kenilworth Estate OP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Kandy, Sri Lanka73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 27th, 2011
A classic Ceylon. Aroma of the dry leaf is fruity, but this doesn't come through in the brewed cup.
Brews a dark but surprisingly clear cup. Earthy, with savory qualities. Aroma suggests potato and wintergreen, a hint of malt and cocoa. Astringent finish. Not the smoothest tea, and particularly, with more astri...
Lapsang Souchong from Twinings
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 25th, 2011
I think this tea is best if served with a meal; it would go good with cajun dishes and indian foods; something that incorporated strong spice such as cloves or ginger. Its an inquired taste, and it smells like smoked pinewood and can be overpowering and its not something you can wake up too in the morning. Not somethin...

Iced Tea Blend from Tetley Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 25th, 2011
We love the Tetley Iced Tea Blend! It is less bitter than other iced tea blends and it has the most wonderful flavor, no lemons added, in our house.
I add sugar while the tea is still warm, stir until dissolved then pour over ice. Tetley Iced Tea Blend is the only iced tea we drink now.

Taiwan Ruby Black Tea (Hong Yue Premium) from Rishi Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nantou, Taiwan77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 14th, 2011
I also found, like Synth, that this tea has a cooling quality. The aroma is malty up front, but it has a strong wintergreen quality to the aroma. Aroma is complex and hard to describe.
Very enjoyable and also rather interesting and different. I'm not sure I'd describe this as one of my favorite black teas, howeve...
Bai Hao Premium from Rishi Tea
Style: Oriental Beauty – Region: Taiwan / Formosa67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 14th, 2011
I'm normally not a fan of this style of tea, but this one was my favorite yet, probably because it was atypical. Like many of Rishi's teas, this one ventured out into a bit edgier, bolder territory of flavor and aroma that I found to be more interesting and enjoyable.
Brews a darker-than-normal color. Aroma is sim...
Black Pearl Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 14th, 2011
I highly prefer this tea over the cheaper black teas available. The long leaf tea used here really shines through and provides a smoothly balanced flavor complex. Slight floral notes add to the overall experience, providing a lovely cup of tea.
Longer brewing may yield a more bitter end to the cup, but even so, it...
