Prince of Wales from Twinings
Style: Black Tea – Region: China53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 22nd, 2010
Fairly light overall, especially compared to Twinings' other black teas. There's some complexity in the aroma, in my opinion, more than their other black teas with the exception of their Ceylon (my favorite). Smooth...less astringency or bitterness. I find you can steep this one a little longer without it becoming t...

Luxury Blend Tea from Chai Bora
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tanzania57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 19th, 2010
I was pleasantly surprised with this teabag; it's just fannings/dust and doesn't look like much, but even the dry teabag is pleasantly aromatic. The name surprised me--I was expecting a kind of spiced tea but then I realized that "Chai Bora" is just the brand name. And "chai" just means tea after all!
The brewed t...

Darjeeling from Darvilles of Windsor
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 10th, 2010
This tea's complexity surprised me! Unusually vegetal for a black tea, with a hint of savory qualities. Dark in color, and full-bodied, but delicate. Fairly bitter, especially in the aftertaste...moderately tannic and astringent.
The aroma of this tea would place it on par with some of the better single-estate Da...
Original (Black Tea) from Red Rose Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 9th, 2010
There is just something about red rose that makes it the best black iced tea. It seems to not ever go flat tasting even after hanging in the fridge a few days. Everyone raves about my iced tea, and I just laugh. It's such a bargain.

Darjeeling Black Tea from Bigelow Tea

This tea is incredibly resilient, it is hard to over brew! While it's fragrance is fair-good it tastes flat.

Organic Ceylon Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 9th, 2010
An honest mountain Ceylon with clean flavor and aroma. Slightly weak brew, however.
(The Keurig K-Cup version of this Bigelow tea is better than the bag.)
220 Assam Malty FBOP from SpecialTeas
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India60 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 9th, 2010
My favorite of the low priced Assam from special tea's. Very rich in flavor,though if you are a lover of malty Assam you will find this tea to be lacking a truly strong malty-ness. If you are like me then I suggest Yamamotoyama's orange pekoe.
Overall a good tea.

Mangalam Estate Assam FTGFOP from ITO EN
Style: Assam – Region: Sivasagar, Assam, India53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 8th, 2010
Note:
I am reviewing the Mangalam FBOP
not a typical malty assam, smooth and mild. Aroma and flavor are lacking, but for the price a great bargain.
803 Fine Irish Breakfast Blend from SpecialTeas
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 8th, 2010
Smooth and silky on the tongue, with a malty aftertaste that Irish breakfasts are known for, but less malty than most. Regarding value, worth twice the price paid Overall a great value, rich flavor, silky smooth mouth feel.

Black Tea from Lipton Tea

Mar. 8th, 2010
Well....it tastes like it tastes. I could probably ID this tea blindfolded. It reminds me oddly of yerba mate and never brews very strong. Aroma is pretty much nil. I only really drink this tea at hotels.

Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend97 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 25th, 2010
This is my everyday breakfast tea. Deeper and darker colored than an English breakfast, this very full-bodied black tea (with a splash of milk) is one of the most satisfying teas I've ever had. Not elegant, but full throttle flavors and finish. I buy it 2# at a time for $32. UPDATE: Special Teas has closed its doors. O...

Darjeeling (Loose) from Hampstead Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India88 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 6th, 2010
This seemingly straightforward Darjeeling has quickly become one of my favorite everyday teas. Although "typical" in many respects, it is surprisingly complex...the aroma has many different aspects to it: a fruitiness, a hint of a rice-like quality, some floral tones, a bit of spice, a suggestion of fall leaves, and s...

Nuwara Eliya BOP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 3rd, 2010
This is the first broken-leaf Ceylon from Upton that has been drinkable to me, and I'm surprised to find it completely lacking in the harshness that the other ones I've tried have had.
The aroma is totally unlike any black tea I have tried...it reminds me of rice and rice pastries. I like Upton's description "brigh...
Darjeeling (Loose) from Ahmad Tea

Feb. 1st, 2010
Ahmad is one of my favourite tea brands. It has never let me down. Their Darjeeling is no exception; difficult as it is to brew a perfect Darjeeling, they have found the right proportion for a cup.

East Frisian BOP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: East Frisian Tea (Ostfriesentee) – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 29th, 2010
Strong but without an edge; malty, full-bodied, but not overly tannic. The dry leaf has a pleasantly strong vegetal aroma, unusual for a black tea, but I was disappointed to find little of this characteristic come through in the brewed cup.
Not the most interesting tea, perhaps, but a very enjoyable tea to drink, m...
Vietnam Black Pekoe from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Vietnam63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 28th, 2010
A pleasantly mellow tea, unlike anything else I've tried before. Definitely noticeable as a Vietnamese tea; it's interesting how both their black and green teas share certain characteristics in common.
Very smooth, little bitterness, even when steeped for a long time. I find a hint of lemon in the aroma, which is ...

This is a great tea. Great value. Strong but not too strong. Holds up well to sugar and milk. Good for the price.

This is one of my favorite teas. It stands head and shoulders above most other Lapsangs, almost poetical in the achievement of its goals. Not to be missed!

Castleton Estate TGBOP Ch. First Flush (DJ-25) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 8th, 2010
Very green character, even more than typical for a first-flush, both in the appearance of the leaves and the aroma. The cup is a deep amber color. The aroma is light and mostly floral, almost reminiscent of queen Anne's lace blossoms. On my second brewing I did detect a faint suggestion of spearmint in the aroma, an...

Jan. 7th, 2010
In contrast to Upton's broken-leaf teas from Darjeeling and other Himalayan regions, I am continuously disappointed by Upton's broken-leaf Ceylons, and this one continues the pattern.
Brewed as recommended, this tea is undrinkably strong. I recommend using less leaf and a much shorter steeping time. Even then, it'...
