Masala Chai from Rishi Tea

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend

90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 31st, 2015

An excellent, high quality chai. The leaf smells so refreshing! I love the spice mixture.

I've tried this one a few different ways and have reached a few conclusions:

1) It's very nice even without milk and sugar.

2) If you want to make a latte, make sure the milk is heated at the same time as the water before...

Vanilla Almond Decaf from Republic of Tea

90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 17th, 2015

Impressive tea. I'm finding that well-flavored decaf teas are something I really enjoy.

The vanilla is strong and high quality. The tea has undertones of raisin/muscatel that blend very well. Together, the sweetness is just right. I could detect no bitterness, yet the drink had plenty of body. Very enjoyable!

43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 13th, 2015

Quite meh. This tea goes bitter too easily and the lemon isn't nearly bright enough for me. Makes multiple cups easily, so that's good if you like it. Unfortunately, though it isn't the worst, it's far from the best tea, imho.

Mar. 8th, 2015

Not bad, but a bit too dominated by licorice (aroma and flavor) for my taste. Spicy, sweet, and best as a latte in my opinion. It doesn't go bitter easily, thankfully.

Fantasy Masala Chai from Parivar

80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 3rd, 2015

It's not my all-time favorite chai, but this tea is very solid. The cardamom flavor is the most notable and it provides a certain briskness to it. You should, in my opinion, definitely add a bit of sugar and milk (creamer works too if that's all you have at your job). This really makes it an enjoyable, fairly invigorat...

70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 2nd, 2015

Quite solid tea. I only tried it straight, without milk or sugar. I suspect it'd be even better with milk and perhaps sweetener, but it's pretty good on its own. Cinnamon is definitely the strongest spice I smell. Decently substantial flavor without bitterness. If you're needing a cheap decaffeinated chai, this one isn...

Wild Blueberry from Republic of Tea

Mar. 2nd, 2015

And now, I get to the final tea of my pack of 24 (plus 2)!

Unfortunately, while this tea wasn't bad, I wasn't impressed with it either. It's a pretty straight forward blueberry and black tea flavor, though the tea isn't complex enough to make this really interesting. Maybe it'd be better with a little sugar? It's ju...

Feb. 20th, 2015

A sweet, tasty tea. Excellent dessert tea for when you're in the mood for it. Well balanced flavors with no bitterness. As usual, though, the second cup was weaker.

It comes in packs of 50, so if you like this one it's very affordable.

80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 19th, 2015

I accidentally brewed this one near boiling, forgetting it was a white tea. I suspect this is why the first sip tasted a little bitter. I fixed this with just a bit of sugar, making it suddenly a near-perfect cup. I like this one even better than the ginger peach black tea! Also, this may be the first flavored white te...

Surprisingly good! I liked the orange better than I expected. It finishes a little astringent, but otherwise is quite good. Smells good too, if you're in the mood for something moderately citrusy.

Feb. 13th, 2015

Very nice tea, so long as you drink it rather quickly! The tea loses flavor as it loses heat. But the first sips I had smelled and tasted wonderful--somewhere between the spices used for pumpkin pie (without pumpkin flavoring) and those used in apple cinnamon oatmeal (without an apple or very oatmeal-ish flavor). So, b...

Acai Green Tea from Republic of Tea

77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 12th, 2015

Definitely a fruity, juicy tea in a delightful way. I'd like it more if the flavor was either more complex or more robust, but it's pretty solid. The acai is distinct and good. I don't really taste a lot of the green tea flavor, but it does seem to provide substance.

This got a rating of being an outstanding value b...

Feb. 11th, 2015

Surprisingly good! Though the flavor is better than the aroma (which is a bit weak), this is among the best blends between fruit and black tea that I've tried. Very smooth, neither bitter nor overly sweet. There's the hint of raisin-like flavor, but it's also properly balanced and not dominant. This cup also provides a...

Honey Ginseng from Republic of Tea

73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 10th, 2015

Not a bad tea. Not bitter at all. The strongest aroma and flavor by far is the honey, which is strong but doesn't come off as fake. I think I catch a hint of the ginseng, but it's hard to detect. The green tea provides more body than flavor.

Since the tea is in fannings (as are all the Republic of Tea bags), it def...

Earl Greyer from Republic of Tea

Feb. 8th, 2015

As with all tea bags I've tried from Republic of Tea, I recommend a short steep with this one. Less than a minute works fine. You get plenty of flavor, no bitterness, and a serviceable (though weaker) second cup.

This seemed to be a high quality Earl Grey, but that style of tea isn't my favorite. The tea was definit...

Blackberry Sage from Republic of Tea

Feb. 7th, 2015

I like this one. It's got a balanced fruity versus tea-ish flavor, isn't bitter, and satisfies a craving for slight astringency/tartness. When I think about it I do notice the sage there, but it wouldn't have jumped out to me otherwise. It simply contributes to an undertone of herbaceousness.

I'd like it even more i...

Feb. 7th, 2015

I tried this tea again today, and have decided to redo my original rating rather than simply update it.

Okay, the smell is very nice--fruity without being excessively intense or artificial. The black tea provides body and the slight zing of caffeine without making the tea bitter. I didn't steep it long and I think t...

Feb. 6th, 2015

Very solid tea. This is another one that reminds me of oatmeal with fruit bits in it. The tea is well balanced, not bitter, and slightly creamy. The apricot works great too. Quite pleasant, especially if you're needing something caffeine free. Not a top flavor for me, but one I could see myself occasionally craving. Th...

Dec. 17th, 2014

Easily one of the best ginger blends I've ever had. Smooth, soothing, invigorating, and bright--without being overpowering. An excellent choice for someone new to ginger teas who might find the straight stuff a bit too intense. The lemon blends well and the green tea gives it body. It doesn't go bitter easily, and mult...

I quite enjoyed this tea. The most notable spice in the smell and flavor is cardamom, but it isn't overpowering. I can also detect the undertones of apple that Alex mentioned.

For me, this tea worked both straight and with milk. Not my all time favorite, but a decent chai. Works well with food, too. Though progressi...

Nov. 20th, 2014

Okay, the first thing to know is that I'm not a licorice fan. Fennel = licorice. Hence, I saved this for the last of the savory teas to try.

Honestly, it wasn't as bad as I was worrying it would be. It was far from my favorite, but the taste was subtler and smoother than I expected, and the spice complimented it wel...

Nov. 20th, 2014

Interesting tea. The spice combination isn't my favorite, but it isn't bad. I think the cardamom is a little too strong relative to the other flavors. I definitely think this is one to drink with milk, in which case it could be exactly what you're craving when the mood strikes you. The black tea works well and isn't at...

Nov. 19th, 2014

This tea is notably tastier than I was expecting. The mint was an accent, not dominant (and it wasn't spearmint, which is good). The tomato and decaf tea blended so that the flavor was more vegetal than tomato-like. I wouldn't have minded a stronger tomato taste, but overall the balance is quite good. So another decent...

Of the savory line of teas from Numi, this is one I particularly looked forward to trying. Unfortunately, I find myself underwhelmed. The blend of herbs and spices isn't bad, but is weaker in flavor than I was hoping. The spices are good, but need to be more robust. There is certainly a vegetal flavor, but it isn't dis...

Nov. 15th, 2014

Compared to a few similar teas I've had in the past, this is the best so far. The toasted rice flavor is mellow and smooth, and I actually enjoyed it! This isn't my favorite style and I can't see myself craving it often, be it's very drinkable.
