Darjeeling (Sachets) from Hampstead Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India77 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 4th, 2012
I fell in love with Hampstead tea's loose-leaf Darjeeling some time ago, and it was not before picking up some samples at World Tea East this year that I had an opportunity to try any of their tea bags.
This is called a "sachet" but it's not a pyramid bag--just a humble tea bag. The tea inside is pretty broken up, ...
Lapsang Souchong Smoky Black Tea (Yan Xun Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong) from TeaVivre
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 24th, 2012
The dry leaf smells strongly of pine smoke, more like the British style of Lapsang Souchong, which I find is often overly smoky. But upon brewing, this tea's smokiness mellows out considerably. There's still a lot of that campfire or wood smoke smell, but it doesn't overwhelm.
Flavor and mouthfeel is exceptionally...
Makaibari Estate FTGFOP1S Second Flush (DJ-142) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Darjeeling Second Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 23rd, 2012
Color me spoiled, addicted, imprinted like a baby duck. This was the first single estate Darjeeling I ever sampled and nothing else has ever come close to the golden Muscatel notes (the very apotheosis of the trait), and summery, so-second-flush hints of dark dried fruits, nuts and spice with just the right touch of wo...

Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea – Golden Tip from TeaVivre
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 7th, 2012
I liked this tea a lot. It had a subtle flavor and was really smooth. I thought the tea smelled a little like cooked greens, which I like, so I had no problem with that. I probably wouldn't pay the price, but I can see why others would, it's a high quality tea.

Organic English Breakfast from Divinitea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 27th, 2012
A robust, good-quality English Breakfast tea with a quality slightly suggestive of Yunnan black teas.
The large, mostly whole leaves infuse quite slowly, but this tea becomes quite strong if you let it steep long enough. Moderate bitterness, full-bodied, not too astringent.
I would be curious to learn what goes ...
British Blend - Premium Black Tea - Decaffeinated from Tetley Tea

Aug. 27th, 2012
Terrible, I am glad I did not waste my own money on this, I really hate Tetley. All of these are just the same. My Mum and Dad drink this, But I really think it is just like a clone of a weak type of Earl Grey, Just more Watery and horrible. To actually get this a better flavour, Give it a squirt of honey and some suga...

Basicly, This Tea is very poor and Overpriced, Hardly any Aroma or Taste, If you like extremely watery weak tea, This tea is for you. As for my taste, I love very strong tea, I don't really recommend this tea because it is overpriced and in my opinion this Tea is poor and is not worked on at all. Just tricking poor peo...

Aug. 24th, 2012
I tend to love everything that comes out of Makaibari estate, and this tea is no exception. I still think I prefer their first flush and long-leaf greens, but this was another very good tea, and people who like darker black teas might actually prefer this one.
A fairly complex Darjeeling. Powerful grape-like aroma...

This tea is interesting. It has a strong aroma of molasses, which is a little weird. The flavor is pretty good. It's strong and deep. I added cream and sugar. It's kind of hard to brew with my small infuser because the balls expand so much.

I don't think this is my kind of tea. It's a little weird, but all right. I'm not sure how to describe it. It doesn't have a very strong flavor, and I tend to like strong tea with bold flavors. I added cream and sugar. It's not worth the price to me. It also generates a lot of foam in the leaves while brewing, and ther...

Organic Decaf English Breakfast from Paisley Label Tea (Paisley Tea Co)

Aug. 20th, 2012
This tea smells kind of like green tea, which I don't like. The flavor is kind of bland, but okay. I would never buy it because I can find cheaper versions of basic decaf black tea that taste better. I added cream and sugar.

Tea bag has little aroma, but upon brewing the aroma really emerges...rich, malty, and complex.
Brews a very dark cup, very full-bodied and thick. Although this is among the most full-bodied teas I've sampled in quite a long time, and the aroma is powerful, the flavor is surprisingly weak, especially for this style...

Aug. 16th, 2012
In spite of having tried quite a few Yunnan teas by now, this was something completely different for me! Very interesting, although a little bit difficult to brew to satisfaction. The dry leaf, rolled into dense spheres, has only a mild aroma, more suggestive of Keemun than other Yunnan teas.
I first used a small ...
Breakfast Blend (Morning Rise) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 14th, 2012
One of my favorite bagged teas in the morning is Numi's Breakfast Blend. The tea blends four Fair Trade organic black teas: Assam, Ceylon, Darjeeling and Keemun. The blend combines the best of the four types into a flavorful and pleasing brew; strong flavored yet mild.

I really like this tea. It's a bit bitter, but I brewed it really strong and it has a deep, rich, crisp flavor, and I think the bitterness actually adds a good quality to it. I added cream and sugar.

This tea is interesting. The first thing I notice is that it smells like beets - not a flavor that I like to associate with tea, at least not in this context. The flavor is good, though. At first it seemed weird, but after a few sips it started to taste really good. I added cream and sugar.

Dry leaf, consisting almost exclusively of unbroken golden tips, is extremely aromatic and fresh, with the characteristic quality that all black teas from Yunnan province seem to have, but fruitier than normal.
Upon brewing, the leaf turns darker in color and produces a rich brown cup.
Like other Yunnan Dian Hong...

I was very interested to try the teas from this newly-launched effort of Two Leaves tea. This was an above-average quality British-style tea bag with finely-broken black tea, from the same company that I'm used to selling high-quality pyramid sachets. Good but not amazing. No brewing instructions on the container; I...
