Assam Melody from Adagio Teas
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India77 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 28th, 2011
Wanted to relax tonight before bed, so I thought the perfect way to do this was to take a nice, hot bubble bath, sip some Assam Melody from Adagio teas, and finish the novel I’ve been reading.
I wanted to try a sample that wasn’t too risky since I didn’t want to accidentally grab a sampler I didn’t like and ...
Awake English Breakfast Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2011
I have to say that, especially for a plain black tea, I find this divine. I’ve purchased a few boxes and it’s a staple go-to tea for a quick cup of tea that’s bold and refreshing when I have little time. I do drink it with sugar (1 tsp.) to enhance the flavor. Deep and rich, careful not to oversteep. My son enjoy...

Fujian Baroque from Adagio Teas
Style: Black Tea – Region: Fujian, China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2011
A good black blend with potent wake-up appeal. Had a strange taste I have trouble identifying, a natural sweetness, and a nice smooth strength. Tea had a decent energy kick to it as I felt rejuvenated drinking it rather than relaxed, which is a good thing depending on the moment. Although the tea is enjoyable, not sure...

Black Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 21st, 2011
Pretty much summing up what the other reviews do - a very standard tea where there are others out there that are better. Tried hot it is bland, I only drink it iced and with plenty of sugar if I have it. Seems bitter easily if overdone though, so care with that.

Irish Breakfast from Red Rose Tea
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 19th, 2011
A nice hearty tea with a great smell. Easy to brew for a non-Irish person and still have good tasting tea. I like this tea for my afternoon break - if my regular tea isn't available.

PG Tips Pyramid bags from PG Tips

Dec. 19th, 2011
This tea, to my tongue, is bitter and grainy. I was disappointed after reading some good reviews. I guess there is a tea for everyone!

Classic Blend Tea from Barry's Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 19th, 2011
This tea is a specialty item in our grocery store and highly over priced because they import it from Ireland (or so they claim.) It is a good, average tea but not worth the price they want.

English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 11th, 2011
A stronger, fuller flavour than cheaper brands of breakfast tea. I struggle to describe the aroma, but anyone familiar with English style tea will recognise and appreciate it. It also has a familiar taste of bitterness that will go down nicely with any tea lover.
This one deserves a proper tasting at any time of day, ...

Your standard, full flavored, "meaty" morning tea. A fine value at $.10/bag, and a cut above the bagged saw dust in your office break room.

Decaffeinated Black Tea from Harris Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 3rd, 2011
This tea is really good. It has an awesome malty flavor that really hits the spot. I added cream and sugar. I'm impressed because it was the cheapest brand of tea bags at the store. Amazing value.
Update: I used to like this tea a lot, but my tastes have changed since then and now I just think it's pretty good, but...
Royal Tajiri Tea from Royal Tea of Kenya
Style: Black Tea – Region: Kenya100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 2nd, 2011
Exquisite! I think I've found a new favorite black tea.
The dry leaf is rather plain and uninteresting looking, brown, with a dusty appearance. Yet it is wonderfully aromatic, foretelling the wonderful brewing experience that followed. I knew that I had found something exceptional the moment I first smelled the d...
Ceylon Tea OPA from Ahmad Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 1st, 2011
This tea is mostly good, but it has a slight vegetal flavor and aroma that I don't like so much. I added cream and sugar.

Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 30th, 2011
This tea is yet another amazing find for me of a tea offering truly exceptional value. After being seriously impressed with Ahmad Tea's Kalami Assam, I decided to check out this tea, an even larger-leaf black tea that was only very slightly higher in price.
The dry leaf is huge, among the largest I have seen of any...
Chinese Breakfast™ - Yunnan Black Tea from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 28th, 2011
A classic Yunnan black tea, unusually smooth for a tea bag. Aroma is complex, with hints of cocoa, wood, and fruit. Peppery finish, characteristic of Yunnan teas.
I recommend a longer steeping time (5+ min). This tea is not as aromatic as a loose-leaf Yunnan, and its flavor is mild so you can steep it for a long ...
Kenilworth Estate OP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Kandy, Sri Lanka73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 27th, 2011
A classic Ceylon. Aroma of the dry leaf is fruity, but this doesn't come through in the brewed cup.
Brews a dark but surprisingly clear cup. Earthy, with savory qualities. Aroma suggests potato and wintergreen, a hint of malt and cocoa. Astringent finish. Not the smoothest tea, and particularly, with more astri...
Lapsang Souchong from Twinings
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 25th, 2011
I think this tea is best if served with a meal; it would go good with cajun dishes and indian foods; something that incorporated strong spice such as cloves or ginger. Its an inquired taste, and it smells like smoked pinewood and can be overpowering and its not something you can wake up too in the morning. Not somethin...

Iced Tea Blend from Tetley Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 25th, 2011
We love the Tetley Iced Tea Blend! It is less bitter than other iced tea blends and it has the most wonderful flavor, no lemons added, in our house.
I add sugar while the tea is still warm, stir until dissolved then pour over ice. Tetley Iced Tea Blend is the only iced tea we drink now.

Taiwan Ruby Black Tea (Hong Yue Premium) from Rishi Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nantou, Taiwan77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 14th, 2011
I also found, like Synth, that this tea has a cooling quality. The aroma is malty up front, but it has a strong wintergreen quality to the aroma. Aroma is complex and hard to describe.
Very enjoyable and also rather interesting and different. I'm not sure I'd describe this as one of my favorite black teas, howeve...
Black Pearl Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 14th, 2011
I highly prefer this tea over the cheaper black teas available. The long leaf tea used here really shines through and provides a smoothly balanced flavor complex. Slight floral notes add to the overall experience, providing a lovely cup of tea.
Longer brewing may yield a more bitter end to the cup, but even so, it...
Tanzanian Black from Teas Etc
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tanzania67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 11th, 2011
I sampled this tea at World Tea East and liked it a lot, wrote the review, but waited to post it until the tea was actually released.
I have actually now sampled a handful of black tea from Tanzania, including the mainstream brand Chai Bora, and single estate teas, both orthodox and CTC.
This tea had a malty arom...
Organic Breakfast from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 10th, 2011
I find this tea to have a more "sophisticated" flavor than other types of black teas. It's more complex and diverse in flavors as you sip. Aside from the caffeine doing its job, the flavors alone wake me up when I drink it.
Brewing too long (which I tend to do) makes it quite bitter. The tea bag says brew for fou...
Lapsang Souchong from Twinings
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 7th, 2011
My rating is low because I tend not to like this style of tea. I actually think this tea was very good, more enjoyable than some loose-leaf Lapsang souchong that I've tried.
This is a classic Lapsang Souchong from a tea bag. It has a strong smoky aroma, and smooth, mellow flavor. Unlike some of the other reviewer...

Just a fantatic black tea. It just is so delightful. I steep it for just over 3 minutes, and it's notes are clean and fresh. I really like this black orange pekoe and very surprised of the delicate taste in brought.
