White Whisper Tea from Royal Tea of Kenya
Style: Silver Needle – Region: Kenya67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 11th, 2011
This was the first white tea I have sampled not only from Kenya, but from any African country. I was eager to try it, and I was not disappointed.
The dry leaf of this tea looks a lot like silver needle white teas, consisting exclusively out of buds / tips. However, the brewed cup was darker in color, and the flavo...
Organic Breakfast from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 10th, 2011
I find this tea to have a more "sophisticated" flavor than other types of black teas. It's more complex and diverse in flavors as you sip. Aside from the caffeine doing its job, the flavors alone wake me up when I drink it.
Brewing too long (which I tend to do) makes it quite bitter. The tea bag says brew for fou...
Lapsang Souchong from Twinings
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 7th, 2011
My rating is low because I tend not to like this style of tea. I actually think this tea was very good, more enjoyable than some loose-leaf Lapsang souchong that I've tried.
This is a classic Lapsang Souchong from a tea bag. It has a strong smoky aroma, and smooth, mellow flavor. Unlike some of the other reviewer...
Pure White Tea from Salada
Style: White Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 7th, 2011
Very affordable for a white tea.
Aroma is slightly herbaceous, with a suggestion of caramel, coffee grounds, and a slight smokiness. Overall character is warm and rich.
Too much astringency and bitterness for my tastes; I wonder however if I brewed it with water that was too hot. I only brewed this tea once.

China Green Tips Full Leaf from Tazo Tea

Nov. 5th, 2011
Got this as gift from a friend and was did not enjoy it as much as I would have excpected from starbucks. Just seemed mass produced and the only nice thing was the tea bag itself which was a nice pyramid one but the tea aroma was unsetteling both loose leaf and steeped. a simple chinese green tea

Nov. 5th, 2011
Just a fantatic black tea. It just is so delightful. I steep it for just over 3 minutes, and it's notes are clean and fresh. I really like this black orange pekoe and very surprised of the delicate taste in brought.

Decaf White Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: White Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 2nd, 2011
I got this at Trader Joe's last month. It's relatively weak so you'll need two bags in an 8-ounce cup and steep it for four-to-five minutes. Tastes a bit metallic but has a post-infusion aroma that is very pleasant. This tea is nothing special so I use it for blending. Good price, though!

I enjoy blending this with other teas, but it is good on its own, too. Great price.

Style: Black Tea – Region: Turkey63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 2nd, 2011
A very light tea...aroma suggestive of rice and cereal. Muted flavor. A hint of wintergreen in the finish. Not terribly complex, however. I'm starting to get a sense for a particular character that Turkish teas have, and this was recognizable as such.
The leaf of this tea is so finely broken that it falls throug...
Black Pearl Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon37 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 1st, 2011
Taking garbage out of a plastic can and putting it into a golden can doesn't increase the value of the garbage. Lipton's attempt at polishing trash isn't fooling anyone.

Black Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 1st, 2011
I'd rather drink Oprah's bathwater filtered through a dirty gym sock than Lipton black tea. In the Navy, this is all we had. But during port visits, I visited every shop I could in order to find some drinkable black. Sometimes I won, sometimes I lost. Sometimes I drank coffee instead.

English Breakfast from Bromley Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 1st, 2011
Bought a box of this from Smart & Final about three years ago. At that point, ANYTHING was better than Lipton so even Bromley looked exotic to me. Not all bad, but very generic. Took two bags to get a good 8-ounce cuppa. Kind of a rustic, tannic mid-palette that is strange but appealing.

Vienna from The Foreign Office
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 1st, 2011
This tea was surprisingly interesting and complex for a tea bag. I brewed it for about 5 minutes, using only about 6 ounces of water, and it was just about the right strength. It produced a very dark cup, but a relatively clear quality.
Aroma is fresh, crisp, and almost peppery, but more like black pepper than oth...
Yunnan Silvertip Green Tea from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Tea – Region: Yunnan, China24 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Nov. 1st, 2011
Something tasted very off about this tea. Dry leaf has a very strong aroma of camphor, to the point that it's unpleasant.
My friend Evan and I tried gong fu brewing with this tea and the results were poor. The camphor quality dominated, and, while the tea was certainly somewhat interesting, it wasn't among the mos...
Lapsang Souchong from Twinings
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 30th, 2011
This tea is pretty good. It has a nice smoky aroma, but it's too weak, and on the verge of being too bitter, like other Twinings black teas I've tasted. I really like the smoky flavor, though. I added cream and sugar.

Jade Cloud (aka Green Jade) from Rishi Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Hubei, China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 29th, 2011
Excellent example of a Chinese Green from Hubei, that is both smooth and refreshing. I first tried this a number of years ago, then again recently based on Alex Zorach's review. He hits it on the nose when he describes it of being "simultaneously clean and rich tasting."
One of the things I like about Rishi's teas i...
British Blend - Premium Black Tea - Decaffeinated from Tetley Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 29th, 2011
This is my bedtime tea. Every single night without fail. It's become such a routine for me that trying any other tea would likely interrupt my sleep patterns! The decaff version of the British Blend is less bitter than its big brother, allowing me to infuse it with a dash of honey to taste.

British Blend - Premium Black Tea from Tetley Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 29th, 2011
When it comes to basic black tea, Tetley British Blend is the base of most of my blending. It's also the one tea that I drink every single night before bedtime (decaff without milk). Lovely aroma, moderately bitter. I spice it with a touch of honey sometimes. Great value as well.

Chinese Oolong from Bigelow Tea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 28th, 2011
Not my favourite Oolong brand, but it's always fresh and has a buttery flavour which is very appealing to me. The problem is that if you over-steep it, it tastes like a mouthful of dirty grass mingled with an odour of cat pee.

Scottish Breakfast (Loose Leaf) from Edinburgh Tea and Coffee Company
Style: Scottish Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 26th, 2011
Dry leaf is obvious CTC, finely broken. Upon brewing, however, I am more impressed with this tea. Brews an opaque light brown color, light in color for a black tea of this strength and body.
I recommend a 1 minute infusion, as this tea infuses very quickly.
Very full-bodied tea, rich and heavy. Aroma is comple...

Special Pouchong from Ten Ren Tea
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa40 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 1/5
Oct. 21st, 2011
This is the same tea that can be purchased in large boxes in some Asian markets. It is not the same as the loose-leaf teas sold in Ten-Ren's stores. After being impressed with Ten Ren's 3rd grade pouchong, this one, which is about the same price, was sorely disappointing.
Dry leaf, which is mostly larger pieces of...
Breakfast Blend Organic Black Tea from Samovar Tea Lounge

Oct. 20th, 2011
Nice smooth, full bodied, malty, and a light briskness. Reminds me very much of Rishi Tea's Golden Yunnan Organic Black Tea, but a bit lighter on peppery tones. It is a beautiful blend of Dian Hong style tea (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dian_hong_tea) mixing whole leaf top-quality tea and a high content of fine go...

Oct. 20th, 2011
I have enjoyed the loose leaf version of this tea for some time, and the tea bag version holds up well at transmitting the flavor, aroma and quality in a convenient form. I miss seeing the teas unfurl, and the color brew up but it is still very satisfying. I wish this tea was more widely available in the US. It is read...
