Yorkshire Tea Decaf from Yorkshire Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 31st, 2011
This one really surprised me. I sampled it side-by-side with Yorkshire's traditional blend (their flagship tea) out of curiosity. I myself am highly skeptical of decaf tea.
It's not as good, I'll say that straight up. But...it's by far the best decaf black tea I've tried yet. It is even better than a number of c...
Yorkshire Tea Traditional from Yorkshire Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 31st, 2011
A lot of people seem to compare this to PG Tips, so I will continue the tradition. I will say, the two teas definitely are in the same style: a strong English-style breakfast tea. But, hands down, this tea absolutely toasts PG Tips, in spite of the fact that it came in a normal, flat tea bag, and the PG Tips I've had...

Nilgiri Select Black Tea from Wegmans
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nilgiri, India70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 24th, 2011
This was my first Nilgiri tea. I have heard Nilgiris described as being similar to Ceylon and I can see this. It's definitely more similar to a a lower-elevation Ceylon than it is to any other Indian tea I've tried. I don't notice much high-grown character in this tea.
I also think it's reminiscent of a Hubei Kee...
Taiwan Ruby Black Tea (Hong Yue Premium) from Rishi Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nantou, Taiwan100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 19th, 2011
this is the first hong yue / ruby black i've tried.
when i sip it, i primarily get a smooth, somewhat malty taste. the aroma is sweet, but there's also something else.. something cooling. i guess it's like aromatic, volatile terpene/camphor/evergreen/eucalyptus type of a smell&feeling.
it's certainly complex, a...
T-3 Milima Estate FOP from Chado Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Kericho, Kenya90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 18th, 2011
Mild pungent aroma. Smooth flavor.
Certainly an "all day" tea choice.
Excellent price.
When I first spotted this tea, I was leery.
My other encounters with African grown teas have been disappointing. This one is the best so far.
Darjeeling Margaret's Hope Autumnal from TeaGschwendner
Style: Darjeeling Autumnal Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 14th, 2011
The liquor has a beautiful floral aroma with that sweet darjeeling muscatel scent. In taste, it is not as delicate as a first flush. It is bold, but without much of the floral notes that 2nd flushes usually have. It does have the soft mouthfeel described by the vendor, but I did not detect any woody notes. The tea is a...

Darjeeling from Tazo Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 11th, 2011
I find this tea muscular but not particularly illuminating. Do not oversteep. Do not expect any kind of tea revelation, either. Passable.

Orange Pekoe & Pekoe Cut Black Tea from Rituals
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 11th, 2011
I like this tea. I'm normally a green tea drinker, but these were left by the coffeemaker in a hotel I was staying at, so I took a few packets home. :) I enjoy this taste a lot better than a regular black tea. It tastes sweet. I never use sweeteners or milk, but I wouldn't recommend either to this tea. It has a sweet a...

Darjeeling Autumnal from SerendipiTea
Style: Darjeeling Autumnal Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 11th, 2011
The tea produces a nice golden cup. It has a strong astringent taste, and of course the muscatel that I've grown to love from Darjeelings. While it has the distinctive Darjeeling aroma, it does not have any delicate floral notes. the leaves are nice and large, and you don't need much to get a dark full bodied cup. The ...

Yellow Label Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 10th, 2011
I love this tea and drink it every day. I actually have it in loose form, which is great since I can decide how strong I want it, and I usually take about a tablespoon and steep it twice, the second time having a very pleasant liquorice-type flavour.
This is my first tea review, thanks for reading. :)
Assam from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 7th, 2011
This is a very mild Assam. It is super smooth and has no bitterness whatsoever. To me it tastes like malty, liquid honey. It is super sweet, thick, and smooth. It has a sweet smell, similar to a raisin or apricot, with a slight tobacco aroma. When I taste it however, the only flavors that come through for me are the...

PG Tips Pyramid bags from PG Tips
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 6th, 2011
I'm a fan of PG tips for mornings when I just want a quick cup of strong tea to wake me up. It has a strong, malty aroma, that translates through to the taste as well. it has a slightly bitter flavor, similar to english breakfast. There is a slight frutiness as well. a very basic morning tea.

I used to live in the UK and became addicted to hot tea. Now that I am back in the states, I drink more coffee than hot tea but I still have a nice cup of PG Tips in the evening. Sure is good!

Yorkshire Gold from Yorkshire Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 4th, 2011
Brewing for about 4 minutes yields a nice rich golden color and a malty scent. Nothing fancy about the taste, but it's just what I look for in a quick breakfast (or early afternoon) tea- slightly bitter, malty, with a faint hint of fruit on top. This is of course a tea that would do well with a drop of milk and some su...

Darjeeling from Choice Organic Teas
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 4th, 2011
Each tea bag is a 'pyrmaid infuser'. It is a good way to let the tea breathe a little bit, and spread out. The leaves have a lovely sweet floral scent. I steeped the tea for the 4 minutes recommended on the box. The tea has a faint floral fragrance, along with a hint of that Darjeeling muscatel. These aromas translate...

Kocha Japanese Black from Far West Trading Company
Style: Black Tea – Region: Japan77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 20th, 2010
There is something very muted and controlled about this tea. It reminds me of a high-grown Ceylon, from Nuwara Eliya, and I would probably believe it if someone labeled it as such. A faint malty aroma is barely present under a light, rice-like quality. Only a faint bitterness in the aftertaste, and very little astri...

Keemun Hao Ya from The Tao of Tea
Style: Keemun Hao Ya A – Region: Qimen, Anhui, China80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 16th, 2010
Pouring the tea into the cup, the color is a medium brown color. It smells sour with a complex flowery undertone. The taste is mildly sour but incredibly sweet. There are hints of a rose taste with overtone of a flower that I can not identify.

Java Malabar Plantation Black Tea from Simpson & Vail
Style: Black Tea – Region: West Java, Indonesia77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 14th, 2010
Thank you Marlena for sharing this one!
Aroma is unique, and hard to describe, very clean and cool, yet deep. A suggestion of wintergreen, like I've only ever encountered in Ceylon teas from the Uva region. I can see the licorice and grilled vegetables Marlena describes, as well. The aroma suggests savory qualiti...
Irish Breakfast from Mrs. Robinson's Tea Shop
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 6th, 2010
Intensely malty, with deep undertones of sweet dried fruit, giving way to a bitter and rather tannic aftertaste. Very powerful. Even if you use sparing amounts of leaf, this brews a very powerful cup.
I like this because it blends the deep, malty characteristics of an Assam with the fruitier aspects of a good Keem...

I found this tea bag at a church event and tried it out of curiosity. I really wasn't expecting much, given that this tea was discontinued over a year ago and the bags are individually wrapped only in paper, so the particular tea bag that I sampled wasn't terribly fresh, but I will say that I was pleasantly surprised....
