Kaimosi Estate GFBOP1 from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Kenya70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 23rd, 2011
Dry leaf has a sweet, pleasing aroma.
Brewing as instructed, this tea is very mild, with a smooth flavor and a clear quality. There are mild, dried fruit tones, a bit like a Keemun, but this tea is less earthy than Keemun. Some of the light, rice-like qualities common in some Ceylon teas. Aftertaste is clean. Fl...

Very smooth and subtle. Excellent flavor. If you enjoy a "delicate" cup of tea, you will love this.

Bed & Breakfast (formerly Breakfast Bliss) from Zhena's Gypsy Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
May. 17th, 2011
An average strength black tea, this did not scream "breakfast" to me. More sour than bitter. Nondescript aroma. Not bad, but not great either.
This did not stand out to me relative to any of the mainstream black teas on the market, yet it is significantly pricier.

Livingstonia Estate GFBOP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tanzania91 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 16th, 2011
This was an interesting change of pace, and one of the most unusual black teas I've tried to date. But unlike some unusual teas, this tea was not just different, it was different in a way that I especially enjoyed.
There is some wintergreen in the aroma. It reminds me of a Ceylon tea from the Uva region of Sri Lan...
Harmutty Estate STGFOP1S from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Assam – Region: Lakhimpur, Assam, India60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 15th, 2011
A very strong Assam, stronger than Upton's description makes it sound. Very full flavor: fairly bitter, slightly sour, very savory, and even slightly salty. Aroma is spicy, suggesting allspice and black pepper. Also a bit smoky, with some fruity tones as well. Peppery finish.
Interesting, but a bit too strong fo...
China Congou Panyang (Panyong) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Panyang Congou – Region: China67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 2nd, 2011
Clean tasting, mild, with a slightly bitter caramel-like quality. A bit flat, simple tasting, but very pleasant. Has a cooling quality, even when hot, and I think it would make a very classic iced tea.
I was expecting this tea to be similar to Upton's ZP20, Panyang Congou Select, because of the similar name, but i...
Golden Kenya GFBOP/TGFOP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Kenya83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 2nd, 2011
Surprisingly interesting aroma of the dry leaf....fruity but in a way distinct from any other sort of black tea.
Brewed cup is very complex: initially malty and very fruity, with a strong fennel aroma. Not much bite up-front, but there is a strong but pleasing bitterness, and a very bold peppery finish like a Yunna...
Panyang Congou Select from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Panyang Congou – Region: Fujian, China87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 22nd, 2011
A delightful and complex black tea. Very robust and full-bodied, moderate bitterness, but not overly caffeinated. Aroma simultaneously a little smoky, fruity, and malty, with no one quality dominating the others. Very balanced. Very pleasing.
I can see this becoming a favorite everyday black tea for me: it is mu...
Dejoo Estate TGFOP(S) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Assam – Region: Lakhimpur, Assam, India67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 15th, 2011
Dry leaf's aroma is more suggestive of a Keemun than an Assam. Brewing, I find this tea fits Upton's description very closely:
It's deep and malty, a faint hint of fruitiness (less than the dry leaf suggests), dark, but very smooth, and with some fresh herbaceous tones. Strong but without being overly bitter. Som...
Darjeeling Estate Organic Black Tea from Wegmans
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 6th, 2011
I suspect this is from Makaibari estate, not just because of the fair trade and organic certification, but because it bears the familiar aroma of black teas from that garden.
This particular batch is exceptionally fruity, one of the frutiest Darjeelings I've tried yet. There is an intense grape aroma, so sweet and ...
Kenyan Black Tea - Loose Tea from Ajiri Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Kisii, Kenya77 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 30th, 2011
This is a tasty but basic black tea, with a great cause. The leaves are tiny, dark, and pellet-like. Not what I was expecting, but I didn't want to judge on just the leaf appearance alone. The leaves have a lovely sweet cocoa scent.
after steeping, the liquor tastes of whole wheat toast, and dark chocolate. It is a...
Red Dragon Pearl from thepuriTea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Yunnan, China93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 28th, 2011
These chickpea sized balls of tea are too cute. They look like miniature rag balls that weavers or braiders use in making rugs. There is a definite scent of chocolate and dried leaves to them. As they brew, this continues and you are rewarded with a lovely smooth, sweet malty drink. There is a nice litle kick of ast...

Finest Darjeeling from Jacksons of Piccadilly
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 17th, 2011
Generous on the leaf--the teabag reads 2.5 grams, an amount similar to what I'd use for one cup when using loose-leaf tea, and it makes me realize how much a lot of companies skimp on the leaf.
This is a broken-leaf Darjeeling, with smallish pieces of leaf . The leaf is highly heterogeneous in color: many of the le...
English Breakfast from Red Rose Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 17th, 2011
I had the opportunity to sample this a couple times. The second time I had a fresher sample and it tasted noticeably better. The tea bag smelled malty, which was a good sign!
Brews a rich, dark color. Flavor is weaker than I expect from this style: not very bitter, and aroma is less malty than I like. Compared t...
Cold Brew from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 12th, 2011
This stuff is actually pretty good. It is a very simple and fast way to make real iced tea, without using instant powders that contain ingredients I don't care to consume.
The tea tastes very good, though not always as strong as I'd like. It's perfect for a hot day when you want to whip up a larger batch of iced t...
Classic from Wissotzky
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 11th, 2011
Thank you to my friend Morgan for giving this one to me to sample! I had the 1.5g sample--a little less tea than I normally use for a single cup, but similar to the amount in most other mainstream tea company's tea bags.
Overall, smooth and somewhat flat flavor: not very bitter, a hint of a savory quality, and a sl...
Iyerpadi Estate Organic OP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nilgiri, India90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 7th, 2011
What a lovely aroma of fresh, woodsy, sweet florals. Both the dry and wet leaves give off this great scent. The tea liquor is a medium amber and has the very pleasant taste of what I might imagine would occur if the dry forest floor were brewable, crisp, smooth, sweet, somewhat earthy - the dry crisp earthy. Perhaps...

Organic Keemun Black Tea from auraTeas
Style: Keemun – Region: Wuyuan, Jiangxi, China93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 7th, 2011
Dry, this tea carries the wonderful scent of new hay drying in the fields, that indescribeble mix of clover, timothy,trefoil and other grasses. The brewing aroma adds chocolate, fresh wash and good, clean earth. The taste does not disappoint. There is a bit of chocolate, a bit of floral, a bit of honey, all on a bas...

Arya Clonal Exclusive [DJ 125] 2009 from Thunderbolt Tea
Style: Darjeeling Autumnal Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 7th, 2011
I listed value as only a 3 because you either have to order $60 worth of tea for free shipping or pay a very large shipping cost directly from India. Aside from that, this is such a good tea. It is the first one I have had from Darjeeling that smells like toasted peanuts. It tastes nutty and earthy and toasty. Not a...

Bolivian Black Tea, Large Leaf from Simpson & Vail
Style: Black Tea – Region: Bolivia83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 7th, 2011
They do not lie when they say long leaf - the leaves are huge! They have a fresh malty aroma. I brewed them for about 3.5 minutes with boiling water. This was such a good tea, the flavor is malty and nutty - perhaps walnuts, It is earthy, but has a sweet floral edge to it. Stands up well to cream, but you get the b...

Darjeeling 2nd Flush Muscatel from Rishi Tea

Mar. 2nd, 2011
My wife's favorite tea. It is indeed fruity and floral. I'm still developing my tea tastebuds but this one is very tasty. It does have a bit of astringency in the aftertaste. Better than other Darjeelings I've tried.

Ceylon Orange Pekoe from Twinings
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matale, Sri Lanka (Dimbula)63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 28th, 2011
A classic British-style Ceylon tea. Medium-strength black tea with a fairly clean, cool taste. Moderate bitterness and astringency, little sourness. Maltier and deeper than some Ceylons.
Above average among Twinings offerings and better than what I typically expect from a tea bag. This is an example of a tea tha...
Estate Blend Tea from Bromley Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 22nd, 2011
Impressive for a simple paper-wrapped tea bag.
Typical black tea aroma, not terribly complex. Mostly deep and malty, like an Assam, but with some of the tones characteristic of Ceylon. Slightly smoky. Significantly lighter than a pure Assam.
Surprisingly, this tea has a substantial savory or umami flavor. It ...
