October Revelation from The O Dor (Theodor)
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 8th, 2010
This tea is like a more delicious version of Earl Grey. Maybe Russian Caravan meets Earl Grey...the sound of those two just makes my mouth water. The bergamot and orange hints make this a delicious full bodied tea - a perfect complement afternoon tea pastries.

I love this tea. It's a great tea to have in your personal collection. The bits of fruit make it a sweet alternative to your usual afternoon tea - this is a tea to be enjoyed on a breezy summer day.

Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 8th, 2010
I had to try this tea because my neighborhood tea sommelier told me it was based on Muscat wine...which I love. The aroma of this tea knocks your socks off...its sweet, flowery, almost with a fruit punch scent. However, the taste is no where near as strong as the aroma which i thought was odd. It wasn't a bad thing, st...

An excellent chai. The flavor isn't so strong that it overwhelms you, but it still has that lovely spice taste. As with most chai, the smell is amazing, and this one delivers with an equally good flavor. I would particularly recommend this for anyone who is trying chai tea for the first time.

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 5th, 2010
This is an interesting blend as the addition of calendula (pot marigold) flowers is subtle and, at least as I perceive it, only slightly tweaks, rather than characterizes, this blend. The flower is well-chosen: it blends seamlessly with the base tea, and it's really impossible for me to say where the tea ends and cale...

Style: Genmaicha – Region: Japan50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2010
A fairly strong, but light aroma, mostly of popcorn, a sort of light, toasty quality. Much less nutty than other genmaicha's. Very little tea presence in the aroma, even using a generous quantity of leaf and brewing longer than recommended. Flavor has an oddly strong savory (umami) quality...almost no bitterness and...

May. 25th, 2010
i didn't enjoy this at all... the smell is boring, the "spice flavors" are practically nonexistent... this tea is just plain disappointing. i used one or two tea bags and then let the canister sit in the darkest recesses of the cupboard for ages.

it's got a silly name, and it does feel a little silly bringing this box out of the cupboard in the cold hard light of January, but it's such a treat! if tea can be "cute," that's what this is! i adore it.

one of the best chais i have ever tasted! in fact it has ruined me for most other brands. smooth, yet still enjoyably spicy. and it smells amazing.

Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????33 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
May. 20th, 2010
Exceptionally lemony and citrusy for an Earl Grey...there's only a weak suggestion of the usual bergamot aroma. The aroma is more like candied lemon than Earl Grey tea, and it has an artificial quality to it. The black tea presence is entirely unremarkable...although this tea brews a dark color, there is little other...

I think this tea is OK, but I am a sucker for vanilla black teas. Neither the vanilla nor the tea is top-notch, but you can't beat the value.

I disliked this tea...the vanilla aroma is fairly strong but has an artificial quality to it. It also doesn't blend well with the black tea. Admittedly, vanilla-flavored tea is not one of my favorites, but when well executed, it is creamy and smooth and yet having some depth. This one just comes across as vanilla pu...

Tastes like Kool-Aid, basically. I was unable to distinguish any basic tea flavor. And I had to use two teabags per cup to get much flavor at all.
No, thank you.
Winter Solstice Tea from Peet's Coffee and Tea (Peets)
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 14th, 2010
As its name implies, this is a seasonal offering, available only around Christmas and priced like a once-a-year indulgence. The flavor is festive, with warming spices and a bright, optimistic note from the orange peel. It has a slightly astringent quality too; I don't know whether that's from the citrus or the Indian t...

May. 14th, 2010
This tea is, for lack of a more academic word, weird. The chai spices and the green tea are not a particularly harmonious combination, resulting in an aftertaste that's a little like biting into a cardamom pod, unpleasantly prickly.
It was an interesting idea, but it definitely doesn't offer that warm fuzzy feeling...
Organic Apricot Ginger Black Tea from Good Earth Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 14th, 2010
Apricot or peach with ginger is one of my favorite black tea flavorings, so I was excited to try this one. While it has a sweet, gentle flavor with a mild zing, none of the components really shine - I wish I could taste more of the apricot, the ginger, and the tea itself. It makes an okay evening tea, when I want somet...

Well, this is kind of....OK. Doesn't have the complexity of the really good chais, merely a mild cinnamon flavor with some overlays. Not unpleasant.

Unremarkable base black tea in this blend...not very aromatic. Fruity aroma is natural and pleasant, however...fairly strong but not overwhelming. Flavor is mostly sour...not so much that it's too sour but that there isn't really anything other than sourness in the flavor.
I found this tea to be disappointing. A ...
Green Tea with Jasmine Tea Bags from Harrisons and Crosfield
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 5th, 2010
I brewed this with water that had cooled down considerably from boiling, but I'm not sure of the exact temperature. Aroma was very floral but not only in a jasmine way, I had the sense that the tea had a floral aspect as well. The jasmine, too, was particularly strong and smooth on this. The base tea actually had so...

this is alright as earl greys go, but certainly not excellent. the bergamot was not as strong as i like it. smooth.
kind of expensive. there are better earl greys out there... my favorite is zhena's gypsy - uplifting earl grey. earl grey supreme by rishi is also good.

note: this is the first lychee-flavored tea i've tried.
aroma:
dried leaves: powerful and sweet. the lychee fruit scent is authentic and not artificial.
liquor: sweet, floral. the lychee presence is noticeably diminished.
flavor: light, sweet, floral. the lychee fruit flavor is definitely present, and to my g...

this is my second-favorite earl grey [second to Zhena's Gypsy Tea Uplifting Earl Grey].
Since the Gypsy's offering is my favorite, i use it as a standard to compare other earl greys to.
aroma:
dry leaves: wonderful. while different from Gypsy, it is equally great. Rishi has a sweeter smell more closely remini...
