Ceylon Tea OPA from Ahmad Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 14th, 2013
I love this tea. It has a rich, full, smooth flavor, but at the same time clean and not too heavy. I steep it for 6-8 minutes and drink it with milk and sugar.

Keemun Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Keemun – Region: Qimen, Anhui, China67 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 14th, 2013
Keemun can be really diverse, so I never know exactly what to expect when trying it. This one really surprised me--while being recognizable as Keemun.
A very complex, organic-tasting Keemun (and I mean organic in the sense that it tastes natural and multifaceted, not overly refined or simplified).
The dry leaf c...
Barooti Assam (Broken Leaf with Golden Tips) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5

I like this tea. It's dark, strong, and brews quickly. It's not too bitter. I added cream and sugar.

Assam TGFOP Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India83 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 14th, 2013
The tea is really good! It's strong enough and it has a really nice flavor. I think if Arbor Teas would use this as a base for their flavored teas, I would like them so much better. I added cream and sugar.

English Breakfast from Wedgwood
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 13th, 2013
Firstly, who knew that Wedgwood made tea? Secondly, while I normally like black teas, this was much too strong! It was strong, a little bitter, and tasted too burnt for my liking. While I appreciate other Wedgwood products, I probably won't be having this again.

Quality Blend Tea - Olde McCormick Tea House from McCormick
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 8th, 2013
McCormick tea never gets bitter like Lipton does, for instance, when you brew it strong so that you can add milk. So if you like strong tea with milk it is the best ever!!
I'm sooo sorry to hear that it was discontinued. I had a lot earlier because I couldn't get it in Colorado and now I'm out totally. It has alway...
Hao-Ya 'B' Superfine Keemun from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Keemun Hao Ya B – Region: China93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 7th, 2013
This is the only Keemun I've ever tried that didn't smell like perfume. It's got a natural but slight sweetness to it, but it's not overwhelming. Honestly, the only reason I haven't ordered giant tins of this stuff is because it's quite pricey. Well worth it as a once in a while treat, though!

TB05: Mincing Lane Breakfast Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 7th, 2013
Oh, this is wonderful tea. It's got the maltiness of the Assam but has that slight peppery aftertaste from the Yunnan... I'm starting to think Upton does the best breakfast blends in the business.

Pretty good breakfast blend, although it wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be.

I didn't really enjoy this tea, but my spouse did. She liked the sweetness of it. To me it tasted a bit odd, maybe because of the sweetness...

Darjeeling (Sachets) from Hampstead Tea

Jan. 6th, 2013
This tea is pretty good. It's smooth. I added cream and sugar. I found it confusing that it was listed as a sachet when it's really a teabag.

Yorkshire Gold Leaf Tea (Loose) from Yorkshire Tea

I like this tea. There's nothing that stands out to me about it. I added cream and sugar.

Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India91 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 4th, 2013
This is my favorite Assam I've tried yet, excepting a few wholesale-only samples.
Aroma is very complex, suggestive of bread, dried fruit (raisins?), sweet rice, and a hint of wintergreen. There's a lot going on in the aroma; I found myself sipping it slowly and enjoying the different tones that developed.
Very ...
Makaibari Estate Darjeeling 2nd Flush Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Darjeeling Second Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 3rd, 2013
I always get excited about Makaibari estate and I have not yet been disappointed. This was among one of the smoothest, creamiest teas I've tried from them. It has less bite than the first flush.
Aroma of the dry leaf is suggestive of monsoon/rains teas.
Upon brewing, the aroma becomes much more complex.
I fi...
Ceylon Tea OPA from Ahmad Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 2nd, 2013
I tried a sample of this tea and liked the taste, which was stronger than most basic blacks I've had. I really appreciate the reasonable prices of Ahmad Teas, and plan to be buying and sampling more from them soon.

Ceylon (Ceylon Orange Pekoe) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 31st, 2012
My favorite pure black tea from Ahmad Tea, and my favorite tea from any company in this price range.
If I had to pick a single example of a classic black tea, I would pick this one.
Like most of Ahmad's teas, I find this one offers exceptional value: solid quality at a very low price. It is versatile and easy to...
Luxury Blend Tea from Chai Bora
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tanzania97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 30th, 2012
I usually drink PG Tips. Chai Bora Black tea has it over the other by far. I was in Africa and drank the Chai Bora and loved it. It makes a good strong cup of tea without the bitterness of some. If you can find it buy it. I have run out and wish I had bought more while I was in Africa.

Yunnan Breakfast from Rishi Tea
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 21st, 2012
I only had one bag of this, so I brewed it according to the instructions - straight off the boil and let steep for four minutes. Neither the leaves or the brewed tea had a very strong aroma. I'm not sure what to compare it to: it was something dark and faintly bitter smelling, but not like coffee or chocolate. More lik...

Golden Monkey Black Tea from Teavana
Style: Golden Monkey – Region: Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 20th, 2012
This is a finicky tea. The flavor is very easy to squash if it is brewed too strong. I found that when I used restraint in the amount of leaves vs water, the chocolaty flavor that one clearly detects on the nose before brewing, will come out. This is a wonderful tea when you get it right, but this may take a few trie...

China Yunnan from Mark T. Wendell
Style: Black Tea – Region: Yunnan, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 20th, 2012
This is a very flavorful black tea from Yunnan China. It is complex and almost peppery, but not in the spicy sense. It is not as sweet as other examples I have tried, but this is not a defect merely a difference. Highly recommend.

Indonesian Tea from Mark T. Wendell
Style: Black Tea – Region: West Java, Indonesia87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 19th, 2012
This is dark and earthy. It's less brisk than Indian or Sri Lankan teas, but not sweet either. As is usually the case with this merchant, the quality for the money is wonderful. I don't want this tea every day, but it is a pleasant change from routine. Good stuff!

Original Blend (Green Label) from Barry's Tea
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 19th, 2012
For me this is much less interesting than Barry's Gold Blend. Perhaps because I drink my tea clear, I find this more astringent version to less palatable. The malt is there, but also a bitterness I don't really enjoy.

This Ceylon is full of flavor. It is an excellent value for the money and I could happily drink this daily. In fact, I plan on ordering a pound of the damn stuff next time around. This tea makes me grin!

#143 - Tippy Yunnan from Tealuxe
Style: Black Tea – Region: Yunnan, China87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 19th, 2012
A nice, sweet, dark Yunnan. This is not at all astringent. To add milk or sugar would be silly. If you drink a lot of black tea, this can be an enjoyable break from the more brisk, south Asian tea styles.
