Cardamom French Toast from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 25th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 2.5tsp, 16oz, 7min
Aroma: There is something to be said for a tea smelling like WGT it’s called. There is a sense of buttery, sugary, french toast. 8/10
Flavor: This is in the zone as well. It does lean on the sweeter side of French toast but this has that richness that you’d associate with break...
White Peach from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: Fujian, China78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 24th, 2020
Prep: 175F, 5min, 2 heaping tsp, 16oz
Aroma: This took a little bit of time to come to the forefront. After the tea cook a few degrees, you get a nice blend of floral notes and light peach. Very pleasant. 7/10
Taste: Very nice. Mild peach on a delicate white backdrop. Really mellow and enjoyable. 8/10
Body: ...
Citron Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2020
Prep: 8oz, 175F, 2.5 min
Aroma: The name is spot on. Really does have a Citronella note balanced by the earthiness of the green tea. 6/10
Flavor: This is pleasant. I mostly taste earth green tea but the aroma of the lemon and lime does add something. Probably not my go to blend but it’s solid. 6/10
Body: Pret...
Gingerbread Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend64 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2020
Prep: 212F,5min, 2tsp, 16oz water
Aroma: Really getting the black tea malty notes but not a ton of anything else. 6/10
Flavor: This comes across primarily as a creamy black tea. I’m not sure if maybe I just need to shake the tin a bit. It’s a good black tea though! 6/10
Body: Fairly full bodied tea. 7/1...
Chocolate Chai Pu Erh from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????82 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 22nd, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2 heaping tsp for 16oz.
Aroma: I often am critical of chai teas because they are too balanced. Typically, I want the spice when I go for chai. This blend delivers. Quite spicy, plenty of chocolate in the nose. 9/10
Flavor: There is not a disparity between the aroma and flavor which is nice. Ve...
Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 19th, 2020
I’m not an expert on earl gray. This may be the first I’ve ever had.
Prep: 200F, 5min, 2.5tsp, 16oz
Aroma - There is a ton of citrus exploding out of the cup. I can’t pick up much else, honestly.
Flavor: A little bit of orange peel, more orange zesty notes. It’s pretty hard to get to the actual tea....
Organic Herbal Chai from Allegro
Style: Rooibos / Tea Blend – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 16th, 2020
Prep: 1.5tsp per 8oz, 200F, 5min
Aroma: Quite nutty with some vanilla and cinnamon notes. I’d venture to say that the majority of the aroma is from the base Rooibos and less on the added herbal pieces.
Flavor: Extremely mild. I’m not sure if an extended steep would help here but there isn’t a ton going on. A...
Mango Madness from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: Blend66 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 15th, 2020
Prep: 3 tsp in 16 oz water. 200F for 5 minutes.
Aroma: Faint mango fruitiness and some light earthiness. Not too pungent.
Taste: mild with a very light fruitiness.
Value: priced fairly but maybe not strong enough flavor for the bold tea lovers.
Organic Vanilla Chai from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 14th, 2020
A little funny having a black tea before bedtime; however, the cab says low caffeine. David’s would not mislead me, right?
Prep: 2.5 tsp, 16oz, 200F, 7.5 minutes (directions say 205 for 7 minutes).
Aroma: You really get the vanilla notes on this one. The cinnamon pops pretty nicely as well. With the aroma bei...
Chai Love from Tiesta Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 11th, 2020
Appearance: Fairly saturated reddish brown. Looks pretty much the part of chai.
Aroma: Here is my conundrum. The tea smells so spicy and aromatic in the tin but the liquid is more of a black tea, malty presence with some mild cardamom.
Taste: This is a solid chai tea. It has really good malty notes but I’d l...
Chai Classic (Formerly Organic Tazo Chai) from Tazo Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Assam, India55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 7th, 2020
It seems that many before me have been bigger fans of this than I am. That said, this tea is fine for the teabag price point.
Aroma: The spice is there. It’s a bit muddy but you know this is a spiced tea very easily.
Flavor: Prepared as the box states but there isn’t much here. A bit of a spiced water but ...
Earl Grey Decaffeinated Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend51 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 7th, 2020
Having not been either impressed nor repulsed by Bigelow's regular Earl Grey, and having not gotten any new teas to review for some months, and having to work down a stockpile of reviewed teas, I finally raided my wife's cache of the decaf version to try it for a report here. I've missed RateTea more than I've missed ...

Comfort and Joy from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 5th, 2020
Prep: double teabag, 12 oz, hot.
Aroma: this is a spice-driven tea. It’s hard to get past the cinnamon and nutmeg. I think there is an apple note but it’s way behind the spice assault.
Flavor: The flavor, ironically, is all about the apple with a mild cinnamon spice. There may be some cranberry notes trying ...
Holiday Tea from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 3rd, 2020
This was another good value tea offered by Harney & Sons. Hats off to their tea blenders, that is an area they seem to excel in - taking mediocre teas, adding to them, and making them into something better. This seems like a cheap Chinese black tea that is nicely spiced up (with citrus, almond, clove, safflowers, and...

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 1st, 2020
This seems to be an inexpensive Chinese gunpowder tea perked up with some spices - cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, fennel, ginger, and artificial flavorings to be exact. The resulting flavor is light but good, and the price is reasonable. Interestingly, they do not recommend preparing this chai in the traditio...

Cup at home, made from a sample received in my local outlet and consisting of leaves of Sencha, probably strawberry leaves, too, cornflower blossom, and pieces of caramelised melon and dried apple - at least that is what the loose mixture looks and smells like; no description is available on the tea company's website y...

Cup at home, made from a teabag. Pours hazy dark brown (against white china) with sediment. Intense aroma of malt, bergamot oil, citrus and, well, horse manure, if you ask me, with some leafy notes of black tea. Bitter flavour of black tea, with some malty notes (Assam?) and citric touches and hints of bergamot oil. As...

Half-litre pot at home, made from a mixture of black tea from Ceylon, China and India (most of it looks like Ceylon and Assam, but a fee longer rolled leaves can be found, too), pieces of orange and lemon peel as well as anise, star anise, cinnamon and cloves - a truly autumnal composition.
